This dry shampoo gives you no excuse for dirty makeup brushes
When dry shampoo hit the mass market women went crazy.
Finally, there was a magical elixir to prolong blowouts and keep hair looking and smelling fresh between washes. It was a key to emancipation allowing users to skip the lather, rinse and repeat routine for one more day because contrary to popular belief, "I can't. I have to wash my hair tonight" is actually a thing.

Beauty enthusiasts just might find the same relief.
Cosmetic company Sephora has plans to release an instant cleaning spray specifically for makeup brushes.
Cleaning beauty tools is a lot of work for the average makeup wearer, let alone a professional who has cases full of products and applicators.
“Brushes should be washed once a month with a mild non-greasy shampoo," NARS Lead Makeup Stylist Jake Broullard told Mashable. "I recommend baby shampoo because it is mild and doesn't leave a residue. To wash your brushes, simply hold them horizontally only allowing the bristles to get wet. Massage a small amount of shampoo into the bristles and rinse. Wring out and reform the brush hairs to the shape of the brush and lay them flat overnight to dry."
Using a brush spray cuts that process in half.
While brands like Sonia Kashuk, Ulta and Sephora already offer similar cleansers, according to Allure, Sephora Collection's new Dry Clean Instant Dry Brush Cleaner Spray promises to be a miracle product.
Users simply pump the mist directly onto the dirty brush head then rub or blot the bristles on a clean tissue to watch the makeup swipe right off.
Powders dissolve effortlessly while cream-based residue requires slightly more elbow grease.
This is wonderful news for those who dread spending hours properly sanitizing a kit full of brushes. And for those of you who didn't even realize you should be cleaning your beauty tools, this will be an easy way to start.
Sprays might not provide the thorough, deep clean you get with soap and water, but like dry shampoo they provide temporary solutions between washes.
Sephora's newest brush spray will be available for $14 in stores and online in April.
