Review: Elianto Brush Cleaner (255ml)

I love my makeup brushes to bits. I won’t exactly call them the love of my life, but I do treasure each brush I bought (I bought a lot of my makeup brushes from The Body Shop, when I was studying in the UK. It was during one of their many sale periods, for ONE POUND each!), and treat them with care. Do you know that with proper care of your makeup brushes, they can last up to ten years?   

Anyways, today I’m going to introduce another Elianto product to you, which is the Elianto Brush Cleaner.

Elianto Brush cleaner

Description:

The cleaner that specifically works for makeup brushes, it cleans, disinfects and conditions the brush fibres so that the brushes will last longer. It is convenient to use and is specifically designed to extend the life of high quality brushes. The brush cleaner leaves your brushes clean, and helps shorten their drying time. 

Ingredients:
Water, Alcohol, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Hexylene Glycol, Isopropyl Alcohol, PEG-32. PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Methylparaben, Triclosan, Fragrance, C142090

Makeup artists use professional brush cleaners as they need to wash their brushes in between makeup jobs, and most importantly, they need the brushes to dry very quickly.

What I like about this brush cleaner is that it does not only clean the brushes out real well, the brushes dry really quickly too. I normally use shampoo and water to wash my brushes, but they take a significant amount of time to dry. If you want to prolong the lifespan of your brushes, I’d recommend using a proper brush cleaner. Elianto’s does quite a good job.

To clean your brushes, pour an optimum amount of the brush cleaner liquid into a cup or a small glass. Dip the tip of the brush and swirl gently, avoiding any liquid on the metal area or the handle. Softly press the washed brushes on tissues or a soft cloth to shape the tip. Allow to air-dry naturally. After the washed brush dries completely, use as normal.

Okay, with the pros, come the cons. Well, I do have a small gripe about the brush cleaner, and that it is too little! Each time you clean your brushes, it takes quite a lot of brush cleaner liquid. I normally clean my brushes once a week, and a 255ml bottle lasts me only a month. I’d prefer if they sell it in a much bigger bottle; that would be a lot more economical.

A 255ml bottle of Elianto’s Brush Cleaner retails at RM18 at all Elianto counters.

What I like about it: It cleans brushes effectively, and the brushes dry really quickly.

What I did not like about it: A tad expensive for such a small bottle.

Oh, and here’s a video tip by Tricia Sawyer on how to clean your brushes. It’s not of the same brand, of course, but the method’s just the same. Enjoy!

 

 

PS: By the way, Elianto sure needs someone to proof-read their product descriptions before marketing them; the grammar’s horrendous!

    nice video 🙂 as for me, i have only one brush, which is the blusher brush. i have been considering about the bodyshop brush too. is it worth buying?

    TBS brushes are good in quality, although lacking in variety. They’re not as expensive as MAC brushes, and I’d definitely recommend TBS brushes. It really is too bad that they don’t do equivalent “1-pound” sales here :p

    yeah! elianto’s english is horrible!

    i’ve only tried TBS face and body brush. it’s really soft but i gave it to my sis and am using a kabuki for foundation and powder

    Tine, do you happen to have the ingredient list for Elianto’s brush cleanser? I’ve been trying to find a cheaper replacement for my MAC brush cleanser! This came just in time.

    Jessie: I know! Tsk tsk tsk.

    I just bought a kabuki brush for my face powder; it works really well!

    Daphne: I’ve updated the post with the ingredients. Hope it helps.
    Oh, and by the way, your ad’s coming up real soon. Sorry for the delay; I’ve been totally swamped!

    Thanks, it sounds good with Triclosan in there.

    No worries about the ad, I’ve sold some of the items away, so I’ll be sending you an updated list. Thanks anyway!

    This is v. informative. I’ve always thought that brush cleaner were just special shampoos for brushes! Will definitely get them, esp when I get a whole new set of brushes!

    Thanks!
