Hi guys! Yes, yes, it's been a while since I last updated. This is like my first post of the year.
I've had some downs in life, ugh, even typing about it is giving me anxiety.
I've been praying so hard for it to go away and health wise, I just got sick again.
All I'm gonna say is that I should have never let my ex back into my heart and back into my life.
Especially since he works at friggin' Times Square and I can't watch movies there or walk around there ANY FUCKING MORE without risking a panic attack. That means no Airport Mall or Citis Square as well.
*takes a deep breath/my anxiety just spiked up*
Anyway, I've had this since last year (well, December), shipping took like a month?
I ordered mine off of Aliexpress with the help of my brother.
You can also find them on eBay.
They have many designs now but I have the Rosalind one.
It's smaller than I thought BUT it does the job well, and it fits all of my brushes. Even the ones with a fat handle.

It seems like it'd break easily, so I'll deduct points from that.
The "brush tree" fits 26 brushes: 4 large handles, 6 medium handles and 16 small handled brushes.
When you receive it, you'll have to remove the sticker from the acrylic yourself so be careful because you might break the flimsy parts.

If I compare it to the Benjabelle Brush Tree.... (well, from pictures and other reviews)
This is an affordable alternative but don't expect the same quality, as it is obviously produced to be cheaper and more accessible. This "brush tree" is shorter and smaller but it still gets the job done.
The Benjabelle has more designs and the price ranges from USD19.95~39.95
So, would I buy another one of these dupes?
Absolutely.
But will I buy the Benjabelle original?
Sure.
They both do the same thing.
It depends really, on what you're looking for :)
Are you planning on getting a brush tree?
'til then, take care!
-Nisah-
P.S: for the record, I've made my own dupe before this, but it's such a hassle to make lol and I need to hang it outside but I'll show it to you next time haha. I only got the brush tree because I finally bought some 'pricier' brushes lol.
this looks good! hmm does it dry brushes faster?
ReplyDeletehahah aliexpress is bad, so many things to buy there.
It kinda does help to be honest, it cuts down the drying like to half? There's less chance of me damaging the brushes as well lol.
DeleteI do wish it's a bit taller like the Benjabelle ones. It feels a bit squished. But I managed to clean my brushes faster than I usually do. And with the brush egg, that helps too lol. Like normally it'd take maybe 5-6 hours for me lol but it cut it down to just 4 hours or less, I didn't really pay attention.
