Sun Kissed Beauty Shop | Brush Cleaner Review
Sun Kissed Beauty Shop is a shop that sells chokers, key chains, and their famous brush cleaner. I've seen it around so much on twitter that I just had to buy it. I also bought a ton of chokers for affordable prices. It is run by a lovely lady who takes pride in what she does. She also has a partner business that creates 3D printed items for people to use.
I wanted to see what the hype was all about with the Brush cleaner. I had been wanting to try it out for some time but never could afford to. Until she had a nice sale and free shipping, I always fall for free shipping. I bought the 8oz Urbandoll collaboration. Mostly because it was pink, not gonna lie. It attracted me the most with its beautiful pink color. The others seem really nice as well and I have no idea if they are any different than the one I bought other than scent of course. I assume it's sort of like the candy Nerds. They have different colors but all taste the same. One day I might be able to test it out if I buy them all.
My very first impression when opening the package was that it was very nicely packed, I got free goodies one of which my boyfriend loved. A Blue Raspberry Jolly Rancher; it's his favorite. The bottle is sleek, and filled to the brim in a very cute bottle. What I did find just a bit odd was that if you want a pump nozzle you have to purchase it separately. Which isn't bad, it's just something I've never really seen before. Though I think it's a wonderful idea so you can only buy one nozzle for all the future ones you purchase. Less plastic waste is always good in my book.
Upon looking at the bottle I noticed something that threw me a bit off. It doesn't list the ingredients. Which is a must in most laws, even if you list the ingredients on the site you must have them on the product as well. There is room in the back for all the missing requirements to belong. Reading it on the site is fine and dandy but it has to be on the bottle as well.
The scent of the cleaner is very... perfumey? I can't quite put my finger on it. it's fruity and floral at the same time as clean smelling. It's a unique scent for sure that is quite nice, I don't mind my hand smelling like it once I am done cleaning my brushes. It's a pretty sweet scent that fits its pretty pink color. The soap itself looks like normal pink soap, if not just a tad more watery. It suds up nicely and cleans like any other soap would.
I compared both with regular soap, the Dove I have and the cleaner. The soap took more effort to clean and having to always go back for more while the brush cleaner, I only needed one pump. It is a time saver that much is certain. The effects of it though are not too different. The soap cleaned it nicely and so did the brush cleaner. The only noticeable difference is the softness of the bristles. For the brush cleaner they are noticeably softer and dry much better than just regular soap. Soap can also leave that gross white film on things and the brush cleaner does not.
Being completely honest I would love for this to be hand soap, my hands are so soft after using it to clean them all. Moving on though to old make up sponges and brushes. It did not get all the product out of my sponges, some was still there. I haven't used those sponges in a year and wanted to test out if it worked great on old make up. It did a great job but it did not remove everything. That is to be expected, I'm still pleased with now nice my weird looking sponges look now. Same goes for my brushes that had old product on them as well. 
I cannot find the before picture so here is the after
I didn't just want to test make up so I tested them on my artist brushes as well. To which I was very surprised. They worked wonderful! I have three brushes that my mother gave to me and I never use because they are so old. The bristles are ready to snap off at any moment. But I keep them because they were hers. The brushes are older than I am and not in the greatest condition. However, after cleaning them with the brush cleaner some life was brought back into them. The bristles feel softer, almost usable and to my surprise they didn't just snap off when I was trying to clean them. The brush cleaner also cleaned off some 10+ year old paint off the wand of the brushes as well.
Then I tested it on my cheap sponge I use to give texture to things. Now that had a lot of old paint on it. Just like the sponge it did not clean it all off but it did a great job at removing most of it. It also made the sponge more softer since it had grown hard over the years. Over all I had better results testing on my artist brushes than the make up brushes but both still worked wonderfully. Even with fresh paint on one of my cheap plastic feeling brushes. It took the paint off in one go and even got some old paint out of the bristles. It made plastic feel soft. That is no easy feat. 
I will be using this for all my brushes in the future and it is better than soap but it didn't fully live up to the hype. That is to be expected, it's still a great product that I will buy once my other one is empty. It has brought life into dead brushes and cleaned things I never thought would be clean again. It's a wonderful product and much much safer than regular soap. If you use a lot of brushes, make up or art, then it's something worth buying. Not to mention it's totally affordable and the site has a ton of sales. Below will be links to their site, instagram, and twitter as well as some of my previous reviews.
