Mini Washing Machine for Makeup Sponge

I was a bit worried about how well this item would work and figured for the cost I paid it might be on the cheap side. But it was so worth the money. I have wanted one for a long time and very glad I finally purchased it. I think it's perfect for anyone to add to their make up routine weekly to keep sponges and brushes clean. It is super cute and does the job. I get excited weekly to do use it even and enjoy makeup brush cleaning now lol. I am going to be recommending this item to everyone I do business with as I sell make up and this goes hand in hand w/make up obviously. I am sure I'll be purchasing more just for myself to make sure I am never w/out one. Such a creative lil invention!

Pros: It's cute (that's it) Cons: There is a film inside that I can't get out after the first use. It is really loud and doesn't like to stay still while its running. It randomly leaks, and the water seems to come through the battery compartment (makes me really anxious to use it). None of my sponges came out cleaner than when they went in, and the drying function doesn't work worth a flip. The last sponge I put in it, I guess it got stuck and pushed down against the rotor, but when I pulled it out there were chunks broken off of it.

The idea of this mini washing machine is so cute. I purchased it to wash my makeup sponges. It came with a small screwdriver, which I truly appreciate. It doesn't come with batteries, so be prepared. When I first started the machine, about half of the water spilled out of the top. I figured I just needed less water. I tried keeping it at a lower level, but I noticed water was still leaking, always leaving a puddle underneath. Truthfully, for the price, it's a fun little machine to have and maybe use from time to time, but not very effective. Also, I used a Real Techniques sponge and it barely fit. I left it spinning too long, and It actually cut into my sponge. My experience wasn't the best, but I hope yours is better.

At first, I thought this device was a gimmick but because washing my make up sponges and brushes are a necessary evil, I decided to try it. WOW! I'm blown away. I have deep skin and hate looking at dirty sponges so I'm accustomed to cleaning them often. This device works and it's easy to use. I even cleaned two smaller make up brushes. While the make up brush cleaning didn't work as good as the make up sponge cleaning, it's still a good way to soften the gunk that gets deep into your make up brush before washing them the normal way but this method won't work for larger brushes. However, for make up sponges, it is the BOMB! I'm impressed and highly recommend.

I purchased this item to clean my Lashify lashes. When I initially put them in the washer and added warm water, it really didn't do much and couldn't be on very long because the racket it made drove everyone in the house nuts. I added a beauty blender and the noise went away. The lashes came out cleaner, but not completely clean and same with the beauty blender. I'll continue to use it though because it beats washing them by hand! I had a little issues with water coming out the top, but I added a little less water the second time and placed in on a towel while it spun.

I bought this after seeing a number of Tik Tok's mentioning this interesting product, and after seeing it featured in a few influencer YouTube channels. I thought for $10-- why not?! First and foremost, do not get your hopes up with this one. I can assure you right off the bat that this does not clean your makeup sponges, brushes, or other personal care items the way that they SHOULD be. To truly rid of any grime from your product, you NEED to be cleansing these things with your hands and cleansing much deeper than this product is designed to do. Even if it did work accurately, you'd still want to rinse your sponges or give them a second wash. The cheap plastic that this product is made out of was not designed to hold water in any sense. No matter where I use this machine, I always find a huge puddle of water. At this point, I've let it run its cycle in the sink because it's just too messy otherwise. Literally-- nasty, oily makeup water EVERYWHERE. The only thing the machine does is spin your nasty sponges in a circle for minutes on end and then leaves you a big mess to clean up afterward. I usually find myself hunched over the sink washing my sponges/brushes the 'normal' way, anyway. Rather than saving time, it's actually added to the cleanup. I could see this being a fun toy for children perhaps for playing 'house' or Barbies, as it does turn on and it does spin... But I can't see it being for anything useful, rather just a novelty. Bottom line: don't buy if you're actually looking to clean your makeup products.

When I first saw this item, I thought what a cute little thing. Since its listed as a make-up sponge washing machine TOY. I wasn't quite sure if it was really for washing make-up sponges or for play use since it says its a Toy. So I purchased it with the thought that its a toy and even if it didn't work it would be a cute piece for anyones doll figure house for pretend play. It does work, don't see any mention of if you can use soap in it, so don't plan to. Looks like you can also use it to soak sponges or doll clothes (depending on what you use it for). Really cute product.

Horrible product. It leaks absolutely everywhere leaving barely any water to clean the brushes and beauty blenders. It did hardly anything to clean my beauty blender and did a semi okay job on my brushes. I contemplated giving it 2 stars for that, but the leaking was so ridiculous that I decided against it. It will make such a mess if not used down in a sink and the hassle just isn't worth it. You can clean your blenders and brushes in your hand faster than dealing with this.

Waste of money no use
