Review (5/5): A great splurge for a makeup fan
I don't think you could get this kind of deep cleaning of makeup brushes with a silicone matt for cooking like others have posted. I just received this today and like that you can hold brushes under the water while you work them into the groves of the glove. The matt one that lays flat in your sink that costs less doesn't seem like it would work as well since you'd have to dump water on the different areas to rinse it off - but if you used the kitchen hand sprayer, I guess that would work.
It comes with a nice, fluffy inner glove that helps you not get sweaty or whatever. Not a huge deal. I use the cheap brush shampoo from a cheaper brand and it worked great! I think what I like the most is that I KNOW I am getting out all of the dirt AND soap. So many times, my brushes would dry, and I could tell I didn't get all the soap out.
I am so glad I splurged on this! I have been accumulating brushes and learning how to use them (I don't pay lots of money for brushes, since I'm such a bargain hunter & can't stand to spend $ on something if there is a dupe out there). This is really worth the money or a great gift for someone with lots of makeup brushes or they don't have many and just need to wash them on a regular basis.
