    Great Makeup Brush Cleaner

    I like this cleaner for my weekly makeup brush and sponge cleaning. Easy to use and gets my brushes and sponges clean. Haven’t noticed a scent or any residue. Good product for a good price. Will repurchase when I get low.

    Effective

    I normally washed my sponges with shampoo - this is a lot more effective and leaves them clean.

    Cleans quickly and completely. More expensive products I have used are not this good. This is a great value.

    You have to use a lot to cleaner to clean your brushes and even after thoroughly rinsing your brushes, it leaves a film on the brushes which can irritate your eyes even after the brushes have dried (I speak from persona irritation experience. Definitely do not recommend.

    The best for cleaning brushes

    The e.l.f. Clean Queen Liquid Brush & Sponge Cleaner makes brush cleaning so simple. I love how the formula melts away makeup buildup and leaves my brushes and sponges feeling fresh and clean. It's quick, effective, and makes the whole process so much easier.

    Awesome!

    The gel formula works so well! It lathers up quickly, gets all the foundation out of my sponges and brushes, and leaves them super soft without residue. A little goes a long way, and it has a light, clean scent. Definitely my go-to for deep cleaning.

    Squeaky Clean!

    I admittedly never clean my brushes. I received the Clean Queen Liquid Brush & Sponge Cleanser for free from e.l.f. Cosmetics so that I could review it. This product has exceeded my expectations! Years worth of makeup build up on my brush was gone within a few minutes. The cleanser doesn’t have a smell, lathers nicely without being too soapy, doesn’t leave a residue, and washes out easily. I’m really looking forward to cleaning my other brushes!

    I received it as a gift from BzzAgent and I was happy. I had high expectations because I saw that it foamed, but sadly, I wasn't convinced. I had to use a lot of it to clean my brushes and remove the makeup they had on, and even then I wasn't able to get them completely clean. Honestly, I think there are other, better cleansers.

    So many great qualities,

    So many great qualities, but I wish I loved more. The packaging is super easy and a little unique I like it. It’s fragrance free the color is clear and it cleans fairly well although I do wish a little more than it did. I made sure to be thorough with my brushes it was just okay better for sponges and in comparison to others out there the price is amazing! It wouldn’t be the first I’d recommend but there’s nothing to dislike wholly about the brush cleanser.

    Less is more!

    Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for writing my honest review. I was really impressed with this cleanser! I used it on a makeup brush that hadn’t been washed in months and was caked with old, dried makeup. To my surprise, I needed far less product than expected. Even though I had to apply it more than once, the amount I used was minimal compared to other cleansers I’ve tried. The results were excellent—the brush came out soft, intact, and completely clean without any dryness or loss of shape. The buildup melted away quickly, which saved me time and effort. The only downside was the packaging. It was tricky to figure out how to open and use the bottle, and there weren’t clear instructions provided. Overall, this is a very effective product for cleaning brushes and sponges, even those with heavy buildup, while keeping them in perfect condition.

    I received this in exchange for my honest review. I had been cleaning my brushes weekly with baby shampoo and that did ok but I’ve been missing out before this! I wear cream products and makeup residue easily comes off with this. My brushes are soft after. It’s cruelty free also thank goodness! No problems for my sensitive skin.

    Does what it’s supposed to do

    I rarely wear makeup, so my brushes don’t get extremely dirty. For the light use cleaning I require, this has been amazing. Follow the instructions, and rinse to clean brushes. I did have an experience with one particularly dirty sponge that I hadn’t cleaned in a while, which I had to repeat the process twice to get all the product and grime out. I wouldn’t consider that a negative though as all my other brushes and spongers came clean with one round. It’s very affordable, and it gets the job done *I did receive this product for free in exchange for a review but the review is my own thoughts

    Brush cleaner

    I was sent this for my honest review and that's what I will always give! I do like it as far as how easy, quick and how clean it gets the brushes but it's like a thick gel type of cleaner so you need a bowl of water to rinse out good after. I normally use the way sprays and just wipe off and go but this is good for a deep cleaning. For an affordable brush cleaner, I think it does pretty well.

    Absolutely AMAZING!

    Thanks to BzzAgent I got to try this product for free! I am so thankful because my brushes DESPERATELY needed a good clean. This is by far the BEST brush/sponge cleaner I have ever used. So simple and didn’t have any effects on my sensitive skin afterwards.
