e.l.f. Clean Queen Solid Brush & Sponge Cleaner — Travel Bar

Reviews

1. P Patricia MacGibbon 4/5

   Solid format works mostly well

   First time using a solid cleaner and I was pleasantly surprised. It cleans most brushes nicely and dries quickly with little mess. For long-bristled brushes I needed a liquid cleaner closer to the ferrule, but overall it does most of the job well.

2. M Momof2 5/5

   Great value and highly effective

   This soap works wonderfully — just wet, swirl the brushes until clean, rinse and let dry. I rinse the bar and keep the lid off until it dries. I was so impressed I ordered extras to have on hand. The scent is mild and it hasn’t caused breakouts for me. Strongly recommend.

3. H Hailey 5/5

   Long-lasting and impressive capacity

   I cleaned dozens of brushes and several sponges and the bar barely diminished. It left brushes soft and smelling pleasant. Quality and longevity are excellent.

4. G Gabriela C. 5/5

   A favorite for restoring brushes

   This cleaner brought my brushes back to their natural color and is more effective than other shampoos or gadgets I’ve tried. It’s easy to use and long-lasting; I’ll buy it again.

5. K Kmac2038 5/5

   Handles heavy pigments with ease

   I use very pigmented theatrical and drag makeup and this little bar removes color fast. A quick swirl or a rub on a textured pad removes lipstick and deep pigments; I test on a white cloth and see no leftover stain. Very impressive for intense work.

6. P PRGirlAngel 5/5

   My new go-to for frequent cleaning

   The soap stays put during cleaning and makeup lifts out quickly. I can clean every other day with ease — fast and dependable. I’ll keep buying and recommending it.

7. J Jessica 5/5

   Small bar, big cleaning power

   This bar wipes away makeup in one or two passes and often eliminates the need for a textured mat. I expected less from the brand, but this surprised me with its performance and convenience.

8. D Diane C. 5/5

   Cleans thoroughly while preserving bristles

   The water-activated bar cuts through pigment and buildup without leaving brushes dry or brittle. My sponge looked refreshed and my brushes stayed soft. The travel case is handy and it’s far less messy than liquid cleansers. Wet, swirl, rinse, squeeze and air-dry — simple to use.

   Keeps tools clean and gentle to the touch

   The formula lathers well and removes oils and residue without leaving greasiness. It’s effective yet gentle, and a small amount lasts a long time. If you clean regularly, this is an easy routine addition.

10. J Jane G. 5/5

    Prefer this over liquid cleaners

    Switched from liquids and haven’t looked back — it’s neater, easier to travel with and works great on sponges and brushes. A little goes far; feels like it will last a long time. Highly recommended.

11. J J 5/5

    Quick and reliable cleaning

    Cleans both brushes and sponges rapidly and with good results.

12. M McJeeee 5/5

    Powerful cleaner that preserves delicate fibers

    It removed oil-based foundation from a stubborn nylon brush that I couldn’t fully clear before, and it didn’t harm a fragile, decades-old mink eyeshadow brush. Very effective without being harsh on delicate fibers.

13. A Amanda Ferr Santos 5/5

    Very convenient and efficient

    Perfect — cleans well, is super easy to use and very practical for routine maintenance.
