For years I have been getting annoyed about dust getting all over my brushes. One day I decided to look up some covered brush holders and this little beauty is one of several that popped up!I am incredibly happy I picked this one. It is a perfect size to sit on my desk. It’s compact and sleek but still holds a lot of brushes. I don’t even have this one filled because these are my most used brushes and I didn’t want it overloaded but there’s still quite a bit of room.I ordered the pink beads and they are a very soft pink for a hint of color. They were a little staticky in the beginning but I grabbed a clean and clear dryer sheet to rub them on and it killed the static! You can rub it on the acrylic too but don’t over do it or wipe it down gently afterwards because it can streak from the film. I’ve never had a problem with the beads sticking to my brushes or making the brushes themselves staticky either so it worked!The container itself isn’t the thickest acrylic but it’s still sturdy enough. Mine had no blemishes or anything of the sort. The hardware isn’t loose at all and seems fixed on there well enough that I don’t foresee any problems. I wouldn’t grab this whole container and throw it in a suitcase for travel and if you move, protect it well and it should be just fine.Best of all, my clean brushes now stay clean! Yes, it may have been cheaper to buy the case and beads separately but I’m happy enough with it! I highly recommend these for yourself or gifts for family or friends who might now realize how much more hygienic it is to cover your makeup brushes!
