Review: Sigma Brush Cleaning Glove

There has been A LOT of buzz around the new Brush Spa cleaning glove by Sigma.  I was reluctant to spend $40 on a glove...but I finally bit the bullet and bought one (note if you order it in March there is a 10% coupon code which I will list below).  It came with my Mr. Bunny brush kit today and I had to try it out as soon as I got home. 

Let me give you my first impressions - to be honest I was a bit skeptical about it.  It is made of a pretty heavy duty rubber but it kind of felt like one of those oven mitts that you find at Bed, Bath & Beyond.  The glove itself is a rubber material and it also comes with a cloth insert to use for more comfort.  My brushes needed a good deep cleaning so I gathered them up and headed to the bathroom.  I slipped the glove on and turned the water to a lukewarm temp.  I wet the head of my MAC F134 brush and then added some brush cleaning soap to the glove. Using circular motions I applied slight pressure and wiped the brush back and forth over the little nubs on the glove.  You should have seen how much makeup came off my brush! I kept wiping and rinsing until the water ran clear and then used the section between the thumb and pointer finger of the glove to squeeze out excess water.  I honestly can't believe how well a rubber glove with a few ridges and nubs can clean a brush - to say I am impressed is an understatement. 

Claims:  "The revolutionary device offers a variety of necessary textures and surfaces for removing all makeup from brushes while using only a small amount of cleaning solution. The dual-sided glove provides a complete cleaning process for both eye and face brushes" 
Price:  $40
Availability:  Only available on the Sigma website

Overall:  Washing my brushes is usually such a chore but I didn't seem to mind it so much. I am still a little put off by the price but...at least it performs well.
