Every now and then a beauty hack comes along that just tickles my fancy, like using a bobby pin to stamp eyeliner on before filling it in. That one really made me smile, especially when it worked. The latest came from Redditor happyidiot3791 and I think it's the bees knees!
Ever wanted to clean your makeup brushes really well but not wanted to fork out for a fancy brush cleaning pad? Well happyidiot3791 recommends people use... wait for it... a lego pad. You know the ones I mean, right? The base that you can build houses or animals or whatever you like on? Check out happyidiot's photo so you can see what I mean...
You can see how it would work, with all the bumps and grooves, along with your preferred brush cleanser would definitely help wash the gunk out of your brushes. Best of all, it's something I imagine a fair few of us might have hanging around the house - especially if you've Lego-loving kiddliwinks!
What followed this thread further made me smile as people shared their brush cleaning pad hacks. Silicone pot holders that have bumpy bits were offered up as an option, as was a plastic basket that has holes in it. Basically anything with bumps and lumps may well do the trick... I'm so inspired I may well have to build a pad using my daughter's big Lego blocks to see if that will cut the mustard... or the ancient makeup filth.
So, is this one hack you'll be keen to try? Are there other at-home options you can think of? Saving a dollar here means spending a dollar on something more fun, so hit us up with your ideas!
you ladies will be raiding little siblings lego!
