Omg did the mac cleanser change prices? I bought one today and its already CN$14.50

[fionaman]

@dyanjennica09 Guess so.... I did make this video a year ago, so prices are inclined to increase in prices.

Could it be that the MAC brush cleanser contains more alcohol than the Sephora brush cleaner therefore cleaning and drying time is faster than the Sephora brush cleaner.

[fionaman]

@BlueLacrymosa Unfortunately I don't know the exact composition of each formula, so I can't really answer that question.

[VaneKristine]

I have the MAC cleanser, but it always seems to leave my brushes dried out, and not conditioned.. perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but that's what I've noticed happen with all my brushes, and now when I'm blending with my 217.. it feels I'm scraping off my eyelid.

[fionaman]

@VaneKristine How often are you using the brush cleanser vs. deep cleaning (i.e. shampoo + condition) your brushes?
