I know you have seen many review on "How to clean your brush" But this post is simply for my Snapchat family who have seen my constant brush cleaning and asking how to get the same result. To see more what I get up to, stuff I won't post on other social media then add me via: sheulytpp (I don't post personal stuff) 

Deep Clean 

This is more for a weekly clean, after using it all week I'd advice to clean it as much as possible. Dirt creates bad skin etc so starting from the brush is important. 

What you need: 

- Mug/Jug 

- Handwash (I use Dove and soemtimes Carex) 

- Olive Oil 

- Tea Spoon 

- Table Spoon 

-Conditioner (I use Tresemme) 

- Dry towel 

- Gloves (Optional) 

Step #1: What I do is get a mug/bowl put a lot 3 table spoons of the Dove Handwash into the mug and then add 3 tea spoons of Olive Oil.

Step #2: Mix the two product together (duh!) 

Step #3: I then organise how I want my brushes clean, I usually out then in order of what I use them for. Like blending brushes, flat brush, eyeliner etc 

Step #4: Depending on how much content one brush has. I dip it into the mug, get it out and rub around the palm of my hands. I'd say use a glove but I personally prefer using my bare palm for more depth cleaning. 

Step #5: Once it's all done rinse it under luke warm water and then make sure you squeeze the water out, please squeeze it out the direction the brush is going. 

Step #6: Let brushes dry until you finish cleaning with all of them 

Step #7: Once all brushes are cleaned, rinse the mug and clean that properly. Then add two table spoons of the conditioner into the mug. 

Step #8: I personally dip all the brushes together into the mug, then just take it out and place it in the bath for the conditioner to sink deep into the brush. I leave it for 20/30min. 

Step #9: Once you feel satisfied with the conditioning time, take them out and rinse them with luke warm water 

Step #10: Place them all on a dry towel and place that on a area were it's not congested but has air. I usually place it on my table and then it gets dry over night 

Spot Clean 

This is more a daily thing, especially for anyone who does makeup as a profession this would be the best! I've not done spot cleaning before till I went to Olympia Beauty and met the amazing Zaf Ansari founder of Super Cover. I was bad, I assumed they just did makeup, but when I saw their brush cleaner I did contemplate on getting it or not. But thought what the heck let me try it. 

I've been meaning to try something fast and different, the only one I know of that dries quick is Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner, however it being in the US it was not worth it for me at all, customs etc. 

Super Cover Brush Cleaner Quick Review: Very effective brush, cleans deeply and dries fast. The one thing I like about this cleaner is that, there is no smell to it. No chemical smell nor any fruity smell... If it had a fruity smell I'm telling you I would've not bought it nor reviewed it. This is good for most of small brushes, anything bigger I'd say do deep clean, I mean it will clean it but with big brushes, a lot get into the middle of it and you will have to clean it with this cleaner few times to get it out (Unless you clean brushes on a weekly basis) 

I did my face brushes yesterday, it takes up a lot of tissues and I hate waste stuff so this didn't make me want to do it again. 

I am not sure if you can get this on a general basis but best to check with them direct, as I am with them on a qualified artist card. It's really good and I highly recommend it <3 Link

What you will need: 

- Small pot 

- The Super Cover product 

- Tissue 

- Towel x 2 (one to place underneath the tissues) 

Step #1: Pour the product into the pot, however much you need 

Step #2: Dip the brush, tap it then do circular motion on the tissue 

Step #3: It will be dry within minutes but to be safe, still place it on the dry towel for better result
