I feel like I just had this conversation with my brother. Do you want one super cool, well made, last a life time brush? Or would you rather purchase a cheaper version, be miserable or at least no thrilled with it. Then in weeks, or months or years to come purchase what you really wanted in the first place??? So, in the end you will have spent more money then if you just take the plunge and get what you want now!!!!!
Hi thanks lol I bought the brush only :) then fell sleep Much needed sleep but heck I'm still tired:( Thanks for the advice ash and med I have only just seen your responses Mmmm that's what I was worried about picking up way to much product with this expensive brush lol .

Always tap off any excess product BEFORE you apply product to your face. Especially blush, and setting powder. Do not fret when the bristles look bright pink. It washes right out. As well as Black Oyster washes out of the concealer brush. Might have to go two rounds, but it returns to lovely white!!!! Yes, I clean my brushes after every use. Allow them to air dry after I remove any excess water. Then reshape into original form. Think of cleaning your brushes in art class.

For a fast clean I use MAC brush cleaner. Normally I use a mild soap and wash them, squeeze out the excess water. For the fatter brushes I swirl around on a towel after I squeeze them. Don't fret, the bristles can handle it. Then I reshape and lay on a fluffy towel. A few hours later for the fat ones, I do the swirl again and reshape. It takes about 6 hours for them to dry after a full bath. This is only for the fat ones. The little ones are usually dry in an hour or so.

I clean them as I was taught in art class for water color brushes. I take a bar of soap. Wet the bristles and swirl onto the bar of soap. Rinse, and repeat until the water is clear. Yes, those nuns were ruthless when it came to cleaning the art brushes!!! The Chanel brush in the metal thing, takes around 24 hours to dry.

I tried the Dior brush cleaner, and MAC is better for cleaning for a fast thing. You can also use Mr. Ford's soap be it bar or body wash for your brushes. They do they nightly at NM. Yes, it is lovely, but a bit expensive even for me!!!! I use Ivory or Olay with Shea butter for the bar soap.
