byAlegory Acrylic Makeup Beauty Brush Organizer & Drying Stand | 12 Space Cosmetic Storage (Clear)

What I like is how this “showcases” the brush set but more. I ordered this because as most people do I keep my brushes in a canister and sometimes you can’t find the brush you need right away especially if you’re rushing. I purchased this so that I could put the 12 brushes I use the most in there and have quick access. What I like is how this “showcases” the brush set but more so how organized they are. The tower is tall but sleek so it will not take up too much space.

Love it. Okay so I hope you guys want a good story with your review because I’m gonna give it to you!I have a ridiculous insane amount of make up and brushes. My vanity is over run. It’s disgusting. My friends came over last week to “shop” through my “I don’t like these” drawers. Keep that in mind. Yet! I HAD TO HAVE these ridiculous expensive gold and white brushes.I didn’t want them sitting in my regular make up brush jars. You can’t see them, and hello use once and they’re filthy. Yes. I bought make up brushes with the intent of just looking at them.Moving on. I didn’t realize all the handles were the same size. Even the eyebrushes are just as wide as the face brushes! Wtf! Grrr. Moving on.I get this wonderful tower and note the top holes are smaller than the bottom ones. Okay that makes sense. This problem is because of the stupid show brushes I had to have. No matter. I will figure this out.This tower came packaged perfectly and almost over night! Super quick!I run to my bedroom to get the stupid brushes and back to the living room where my husband is watching a war movie. Not even minutely interested in what I’m doing. In all fairness it was a pretty good movie and that’s why I decided to do this out there versus on my vanity.So I set it all up on the coffee table!My husband isn’t even watching me.I start putting brushes in the tower from the bottom up.I notice the eyebrushes I anticipated to put in the top weren’t going to fit. Stupid brush design flaw. Out from the peanut gallery who isn’t even looking at me “those aren’t all going to fit babe”.Me: “pfft. You’re not even looking! How can you tell from the corner of your eye?!”Him: wisely says nothing.I than decide I will not lose; I take the eyebrush and try to force it.It didn’t even go in all the way. I managed to force it past the rubber thingy, but if just wouldn’t fit! I briefly considered using lube to make it fit so he wouldn’t be right but I decided against it.Then again …”Babe don’t keep forcing it…it’s not gonna fit you’re gonna break your new thingy there and you’re gonna be pissed”Me: “it’s gonna fit,.. again you’re not even looking directly at us! Let me live my life and do me!”Him: wisely again silent. I’m pretty sure he rolled his eyes.Now… by this time I must concede defeat. I forced it. It won’t go all the way out to the other side, not even close. It’s not moving forward or backwards. It’s stuck.So I pull… (this takes longer to type than it took to happen. It occurred in like 5 seconds).Me: I start pulling and holy crap it’s really stuck. I briefly considered putting my foot against it to pull! The brush came out with an audible *pop* and it came out with the rubber piece from the tower in tow.Me: “baby I broke it”.Husband: “I told you not to force it, told you it wouldn’t fit and now here we are”.Me: “Baby I really broke it. There’s a piece of it on my brush”.Husband: Loud and dramatic sigh.He fixed it. So within the span of 4 minutes, being told to stop what I was doing so I did not break it. I broke it.However my husband actually got the little rubber thing back in and fixed it!So not only does it save you vanity space, organize and display your brushes, it’s also… idiot proof!Overall review… it’s space saving, comes almost overnight, and is pretty damn convenient! I’m going to order like 3 more to get rid of the jars on my vanity because even though the brushes stick out it’s still a space saver. Plus it’d be a good drying rack. When you wash your brushes you’re supposed to put them bristle down so the water doesn’t go up into the wood and crack the handles and loosen the metal fixings that secure the bristles. If you prop it right you can make them all point down and allow them to dry properly!

Haven’t found a better alternative. The media could not be loaded.  I have mixed feelings about this organizer. I’m a Younique presenter and we have a lot of dual ended brushes. The little flaps on the organizer that hold the brushes in place tend to flay those bristles open as you insert the brush, which I’m not a fan of. Over time it has the potential to ruin the brush. The flaps are easy enough to pull off the organizer, which I’ve done for some of my smaller dual end brushes, but then obviously, the brush is just balancing in the organizer and there’s nothing to really hold it in place. Also, for brushes that are very close to the same size as the opening, some of the flaps have permanently bent inward, so they won’t hold a smaller brush any more. Still, I haven’t found a better alternative yet. I do a lot of live video tutorials on Facebook, so I need to be able to see all my brushes easily, instead of wasting time hunting around for the one I need. This organizer allows for that since they aren’t all bunched up together like when placed vertically in a cup or laying flat in a drawer. The acrylic is sturdy and the base is heavy enough that I never have to worry about it falling over. So other than the flaps, I think it’s good quality.

Very Sturdy. This makeup brush drying rack is not flimsy at all. It’s very well made and very sturdy. I’m glad I finally have something to hold my brushes up so they can properly air dry rather than lying them flat to dry.

Sturdy storage. Finding a good storage option for makeup brushes was challenging until I found this product. It’s remarkably sturdy for plastic. It helps my brushes retain there shape. Plus cleaning them is a breeze now.
