Just googled the London brush soap, very tempted to get it! I hate washing my brushes and always delay it, maybe this would help!

I'm getting the soap especially while it's on sale … LOL!
10 bucks shipping cancelled out the discount

I didn't care for the shipping charge either. These better be some damn good brush soap. I ordered the Lemon and Coconut Milk.

I hope you both like it! I used to use mild shampoo, and I'd have to rinse and rinse and rinse to get the suds completely out. I hated cleaning my brushes because the process took so long. With this, it's easy. I normally use Lavender, so I ordered another Lavender and a Natural with the sale going on. I figured it was like free shipping. So now I guess I'm a hoarder of makeup AND brush soap. lol!

yea, I am a bit pissed at TF too.. lol

SSmoke, and Black Orchid (that's gone bad already) about 16 months -- but again, I travel a lot and the heat of where I go, planes, trains and all sorts of smelly places lol -- these make them turn faster.

the textures are gorgeous and the colours too.
Thank you for mentioning this! My Black Orchid has already started to smell like crayons, which shocked me given how much it cost. I have cheaper lipsticks that don't have this problem.

I adore my TF$ brushes and especially the cream foundation brush! I've always used the cleanser from the London Brush Company: http://www.londonbrushcompany.com/collections/all/products/brush-shampoo-natural It gets them clean and white again, which always amazes me. The thing I like best is it rinses away so easily. It's very similar to the Becca brush soap that everyone raved about but became so hard to find. This one from the London Brush Co. comes in a variety of scents (I like the Lavender). Until Jan 1 there's a 25% off code: CELEBRATION. I so love this stuff!! Just found a review for it: http://www.makeupjunkienikki.com/2012/09/london-brush-company-brush-soap.html HTH
Is this similar to the Beautyblender solid cleanser? I have not tried it. But it has a lot of good reviews on Sephora.

I bought the BB solid cleanser but it's so overpriced! It cost £12 on Amazon UK. I got another brand at the same time, Da Vinci soap for cosmetic brushes, or something along those lines. I got the small version which is around the same size as the BB one and costs over half less. They do a large version which is also cheaper. It did a great job of cleaning my brushes and left them feeling super soft.

I have today depotted the BO and kept the casing.. will plant an oldie but fave lippie in it for summer. lol. Later on will fill up with a cheapo vampy one.. Casing is why I pay sometimes since I already have the product in a horrid sample/tester.

so, BO is gone.. no more BO and will never repurchase any shade this deep at such a steep price. NYColors, Mahogany and many others give a similar effect for 1/500th of the price.

Brown and gold packaging . I recall seeing Deep Mink , Coco Ravish, Black Orchid and several others . Lost Cherry gloss, lip lacquer in a whitish tube but goldish color, a few nailpolishes, traceless foundations (none that matched me ) and they had lots of TF fragrances . I only picked up up a deep blue cream es Noir Absolute For Eyes from TF for myself .
 
Oops, I didn't even realize I wrote black. That's awesome about the amount of product they had. It was be so amazing if they had discontinued quads, there are a lot of those I want.

After all this talk about black orchid, I nervously got mine out to wear today. Much to my relief, it was fine. I always use a lipstick brush for TF lipsticks. Do you think that makes a difference?

No... it's the black pigment which makes it go rancid. It's not stable.

Application method is not causing it. Glad yours is ok tho.
