For many, many years, I’ve avoided dual-ended brushes.
I don’t like it when the other end gets dirty and squished in the container.
And for many, many years, I’ve used individual disposable spoolies to groom my brows.
But since I’ve been busier, I started buying more brushes.
More brushes means less time spent washing them frequently.
More brushes meant more eyebrow brushes.
However, the brushes at KKV only had these dual tip ones.
(I’ve stopped buying expensive brushes. Tell you why in a future issue.)
So, I had no choice. I tried a couple.
And I was smitten.
Forget about crushes.
I’m committed.
I haven’t realized how much time I could save by using just this brush!
I know it sounds exaggerated.
But for someone who continuously refines her systems to shave 5 seconds here and there, this is a big deal for me.
Instead of drawing my eyebrows, putting the brush down, reaching for the spoolie, grooming my brows, then back to the brush -
I just flip.
Draw brows. Flip. Brush. Flip. Refine. Done.
That’s it.
Such a ridiculously small change, but it made my routine feel smoother.
And lately, I’ve been paying more attention to things like that.
Not necessarily the things that save me hours.
Sometimes, it’s the tiny things that remove one unnecessary movement from something I do every day.
Five seconds here. Ten seconds there.
One less thing to reach for. One less thing to wash. One less thing cluttering my space.
It doesn’t sound like much until you realize how many little steps we repeat every single day.
And apparently, after years of refusing to buy dual-ended brushes because I didn’t want one end getting squished in a container, all it took was being busy enough for me to reconsider.
Now?
I’m converted.
Will I replace every brush I own with a dual-ended one?
Absolutely not.
But for my eyebrows?
Just flip.
Sometimes, making life a little easier really is that simple.
