Perfect Spot-On Brush Cleaner: Cinema Secrets Professional Makeup Brush Cleaner

In the light of finding the best brush cleaner, I stumbled upon a thread online which recommended good spot cleaning solutions. I've been very meticulous when it comes to cleaning my brushes every time I use them. I need a brush cleaner for everyday use just because it is time consuming for my makeup brushes to bathe everyday. I mean, all you makeup junkies know this for a fact. It takes so much time for the brushes to dry when you let them soak in shampoo and water. I cannot afford to wait for a day for them to dry up and then ending up using it again making them dirty. Like what I've said before, I've been vigilant with the cleanliness of my brushes because I saw that my acne problem started from it.

So far, I've used the Parian Spirit and the Sephora brush cleaner. The Parian Spirit was a good cleaner but it gave a very harsh smell that I cannot tolerate plus the bristles of my makeup brushes became stiff. The Sephora brush cleaner was a let down. I do like the smell in all fairness but my bottle was empty after having at least 4 rounds of cleaning. It takes that much liquid to clean brushes meaning it's not an effective brush cleaner for me. 



Some Pro Makeup Artists suggested to use Cinema Secrets Professional Makeup Brush Cleaner. Luckily, I saw a shop here in Malaysia that offers the item.

Here's a breakdown of the product

Brand: Cinema Secrets
What it is: Professional Brush Cleaner
Price: RM 52.00 (when converted to Philippine Peso = PHP 754) / $8.00 plus $10 shipping fee (more or less PHP810 total)
Size: 2 FL. OZ. / 59 ML
What it does: Santizes Makeup Brushes

What I like about the product:
- It breaks down makeup residue immediately. 
- You only need a little amount for your brushes to be clean 
- It doesn't have the annoying smell
- Makeup brushes will smell like powder when dry

What I don't like about the product:
- It's not readily available in Manila. 
- You need to go overseas or order it online and wait for your product.
- A bit pricey. Compared to the Parian Spirit and the Sephora brush cleaner, it costs more.

Will I repurchase this product? Yes! Definitely! Even if it costs more than my other makeup brush cleaners, I think I found my Holy Grail.
