Sigma Dry'n Shape Tower® Face & Eyes

I've had my eye on the Sigma Dry'n Shape Tower for a while now.  If you read my last post about how I wash and dry my makeup brushes [if not, click here for the post] you know what my routine was, but since then I've changed it a teeny bit.  


{This post includes affiliate links.  Affiliate links are where I make a portion of sales from links used, which helps keep Beauty Freckled going.  Thanks for your support!}


I want my brushes to last as long as possible, so drying them facing down so the water doesn't get into the base of the brush is the best way to do that - enter the Dry'n Shape!

Sigma Dry'n Shape Tower® Face & Eyes

Claims from the Sigma website:
The PATENTED Dry'n Shape Tower® - Face and Eyes was specifically designed to completely dry and shape your most dense face and eye brushes faster than ever before while holding up to 44 brushes at once.
  • Holds up to 24 eye brushes and 20 face brushes
  • Includes 3 bases and 2 connectors
  • Disassembles easily for compact storage
  • When combined with Dry'n Shape Tower - Eyes can hold up to 92 brushes
Sigma has four versions of the Dry'n Shape: the eye tower (48 eye brushes), the face and eye tower (24 eye and 20 face brushes), the full set (two towers for up to 92 brushes), and the spa (built in cleaning pad, plus brush holders).  So there is a brush tower for every budget and makeup brush collection!


Sigma Dry'n Shape - Face and Eyes
The Dry'n Shape Face & Eyes was perfect for me.  As you can see, I have a variety of brushes on the tower from Elf to Real Techniques, to EcoTools to Sephora Professional.  I keep my Sigma Brushes in a brush roll for nicer occasions so those weren't dirty after this marathon cleaning session.  Minus two brushes from EcoTools with thick brush handles and my Tarte Kabuki brush, everything fit in the slots perfectly!


Sigma Dry'n Shape - Face and Eyes
I will eventually get the brush cleaning mat or glove to go along with this drying tower, but for now, I put a small squirt of Dr. Bronner's Pure-Castile Lavender Soap in my hand, swirl the brush around in it, and rinse clean.  Then into the drying tower it goes!  If the brush is really hanging onto makeup (like a foundation brush), I swirl it around directly on a bar of Dr. Bronner's Bar Soap I keep in a travel soap dish just for this occasion.

All in all, I highly recommend the Sigma Dry'n Shape Tower for any makeup brushes you have.  It makes cleaning a breeze since you can just pop them onto the rack right after you finish washing.  The three tiers come apart as well for easy storage either in a bathroom or set of Alex drawers.

While walking around the Grand Floridian before our reservation at CĂ­tricos, we stopped in at Basin White and picked up three of their Bath Bombs.  They smell amazing and I am waiting to use them in our new house we're building.

Mickey - fresh scent with Mickey Mouse confetti
Birthday Cake - sweet scent, sprinkle filled
Wishes - sandalwood, freesia flower, & champagne

I meant to grab the Mickey Pumpkin Mug, and I regret not getting it now.  I was going to order it on the app, but it sold out before I got a chance.  Next time!  The few items from the app we did pick up were:

Sully Mug
Mrs. Potts and Chip Ornament
Collapsable Measuring Cups
Mickey Hand Measuring Spoons
Pocahontas Fashion Play Set
