After a little time away from Cosmetic Brush Sets because of illness I came back to find that I had missed a small check box that would have prevented some (or one bad person) people from posting over 2,000 spam articles on my website! That’s ok, it only took over an hour to delete them all and sadly a bunch of my own posts were removed! Oh well.
So last month I decided to finally protect my MAC brushes (I have a large assortment of them, costing hundreds of dollars) and buy a brush set case for them. I stopped by one of the MAC stores and asked how much their case costs…. $68. Ouch! So I went to a nearby cosmetic store and bought one for $25 instead. It was a great little case that folds up and has a magnet clasp to keep it shut. If you noticed, I said “it was”.. well, I got it home only to find out that a couple of the brushes were too large to fit in it. So, back to the store and returned it. I went back to MAC just in time to find out they just got new ones for $55, which is(still more than I wanted to spend but at least all the brushes fit in correctly and I’m not going to risk damaging the bristles.
So, lesson learned: Don’t cheap out when it comes to your case. If you consider that one of my brushes cost over $150 I guess it only makes sense to buy a proper case that it will fit safely and properly into. Remember, your brushes are an investment not just a tool.
A few lessons I’ve learned previously:
- If you buy cheap brushes you’re going to get cheap results.
- If you buy cheap makeup your going to look cheap.
- If you don’t take care of your brushes, you’re either going to get an infection or you’re just throwing your money away.
- Cleaning your brushes isn’t that hard, nor is it that time consuming.
When I get a chance I’ll shoot a short video on how to clean your brushes quickly, easily, and for very little money.
