Thanks to secretlifeofabionerd I found this awesome tutorial on how to make a washboard for my makeup brushes. I don't know about you but I HATE washing my brushes, mainly because I have so many. I went to Dollar General last night and bought a plastic clip board for $2.95 and took out one of my four glue guns and pretty much created exactly what the video showed.
I washed all of my brushes today in prep for a double header wedding weekend and was thrilled with not only the amount of time I saved but how well the brushes came clean. Also I didn't have dish pan hands afterward, another bonus.
I also created my own brush tree instead of shelling out $30 for the one @benjabelle sells. The one I made was inspiration from another youtube video by Beauty by Tara B. It only cost me a bag of rubber bands!
