I spied with my little eye this round yellow wafer-textured thingy at a home store, I didn't know what it was. I started thinking....
What's this? Round....silicone...more weighty than I thought...I feel like I need it...Rs.250....yup, I do need it. But for what? Oh, there's a picture on the back! Okay, basically, to keep hot pans and baking dishes. That I don't need. Why don't I bake anymore? Hmmm...put it back in the hook...moving on.... we need a saucepan with a lid for making popcorn...but a light pan, so it's easier to shake-shake- shake....why don't they make enough light or pastel cooking pots and pans in this country??! Also, Floral. Vintage floral, not big big sunflowery jhatak floral. Then I'll spend more time in the kitchen! Like Bree Van de Kamp...I'll bake something French, something I can't pronounce yet... coomberfroofrount...and wear a matching floral apron....and I'll ----
MAKEUP BRUSH WASHING MAT!
And I ran back to one of the best things I ever discovered ;p
It's amazing, you guys! I won't have pruned fingers after washing makeup brushes anymore, and I'm actually excited to wash them more often now! Plus, the brushes come out cleaner than when I'm only using my palms.
Brands had come out with gloves and fancy mats for makeup brush washing, but those came with hefty price tags. For me, this mat is best and all I'll ever need!
How I use it: I place it in the sink, let some water fill up in those little squares, squirt some Johnson's baby shampoo, and then swirl my brushes on it. Saves so much time! I also rinse them the same way with just water. After I'm done, I rinse the mat and shake off all the water from it, and place my brushes on it for drying.
Price: Rs.250 / $4 (ONLY)
(Have you seen the Sigma mat for $32?!)

ReplyDeleteHey CZ i got mine in teh mail just today and I washed my stippling brush right away(the most abused brush) and guess what it took less than 2 mins for me to wash it as compared to the earlier 5 min I used to spend. Thank you soooo much for introducing this beayty!
ReplyDeleteI got to have one. This will be very useful to me.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great option. If you have seen those thick hot water bags, they are similar but softer and even cheaper.
