but as far as cleaning brushes it's fairly useless.. [SEP] Not a fan. If you don't put in enough water, it doesn't do anything. If you put in too much, it just splashes out and gets everywhere. The black top on mine doesn't fit at all (the 'seal' is too big and won't let you set it in place). I will say it DOES dry them quickly, but as far as cleaning brushes it's fairly useless...I tried three different brushes and when I went back to my old rubber, bumpy cleaning pad, they were still caked in makeup. Gross.
