I don't know if your supposed to but I've started to use the kiss cleanser to help clean my brushes and let me tell you, they haven't been this clean since I first brought them

.
I used to clean my eye brushes and kabubi's (yes more then one. You've got to have a back up) with my mild shea butter enhanced hand soap and it did get them clean, but I found the kiss cleanser to be much better.

That makes a lot of sense. If it shifts makeup as thoroughly yet gently off of our faces, it's bound to do the same for our brushes.
(L'Occitane soap??

Oooh....I'm gonna try the KISS cleanser for brushes, too. I think it is about time for a washing.......and time to call up the second string brushes!

hey, that's an idea!
I was using this brush cleaner but it had glycerin in it, and somehow, with synthetic brushes the glycerin leaves a weird feel. Just ever so slight but I can feel the waxyness. And it stopped picking up minerals well.
Will re-wash everything with KISS.

Yes use the kiss cleanser, it really got the foundation out of my kabuki really well
Cupcake: No it's a cheapy hand soap from the pound shop (guess how much it costed

). Palmolive Naturals with shea butter - its one of the only soaps I can use on my hand and a must-have during the winter months, because without that I hand with crack and bleed no matter how much hemp hand thingy from body shop I use.
