Good Idea. Also good for cleaning jewellry that has been soaking in cleaner. Gets behind stone setting well.

my friend tried it and she said it was really hard to get the mascara off of the brush, and she meant REALLY hard!!!

I'm on your side, I mean, it is really impossible to get the mascara off of the brush!!!! More if it is waterproof!!!!

It would probably help with a brush that isn't so dried out and try soaking the brushes

There is a Johnson&Johnson make-up remover that works for Waterproof mascara too. I have it and it's perfect for sensitive skin too.

This sounds like a really good tip. I'll have to try it sometime.

With what I suppose to clean the brush? The mascara is a thick mixture and sometimes it is not easier to remove from the eyes, imagine to remove from the brush!!!


jessicapw replied: Mon, 2007-12-24 11:38

Make-up remover!!!


miraclerox replied: Thu, 2007-12-27 17:11

i promise its not that hard!!
just rinse it out with hot water!!
it's okay i can tell it hurts you to think!!!


jessicapw wrote: Mon, 2007-12-24 11:37

Why can't you just buy a eyebrow and eyelash double sided brush?


miraclerox replied: Thu, 2007-12-27 17:12

hmm.
i wonder about some people.
its really not hard to clean the brushes, and you keep bring up the "special" brushes just for eyebrows.
some people dont have the money to go out and get whatever they want, so its good that theres alternatives.

That's right that_girl_2011! I certainly don't have the money!
