I’ve used a cheapie vibrating cleansing brush for a while for physical exfoliation and hardcore make-up removal purposes, but Remington’s Revitalise Facial Cleansing Brush is the first rotating brush I’ve tried – it actually both rotates AND vibrates.

I painted this ladybird design using Furless Bitch, a solid black, and Sea Siren Cabin Fever, a bright red creme.
