Review: Sigma Dry n Shape

Every now and then my brushes need a wash, I usually lay them flat on the edge of the window, so the breeze can dry them naturally. That means they won't have their usual shape afterwards, so I thought it might be time to try something else. This is were Sigma came in.

What Sigma Says: 

Tired of waiting for your brushes to dry after washing them? Wait no more! Introducing the revolutionary Sigma Beauty Dry’n Shape system! 
The Dry’n Shape was designed to completely dry and shape your most dense brushes within 4 to 6 hours, guaranteed. The Dry’n Shape provides the necessary pressure to bristles to quickly and efficiently remove water from every fibre. 
The fabric used to shape the bristles was specially engineered to accelerate water evaporation, resulting in a faster drying time for your brushes. The Dry’n Shape is an easy, quick, and effective way to quickly dry and shape your makeup brushes. Follow these three easy steps for best results: 

STEP 1: Wash your brushes using a mild shampoo or brush cleanser. 

STEP 2: Gently press the bristles to remove any excess water. Place the clean, damp brushes into the Dry’n Shape using the smallest band the brush will fit into. Make sure that all bristles are firmly compressed. 

STEP 3: Wait 4 to 6 hours and your brushes will be completely dry and ready to use! In addition to being completely dry, the bristles will be reshaped to their original form. Your brushes will be perfect for your makeup application!

To allow the excess water to free flow downwards I left the roll upside down and put a tissue under it. According to Sigma it takes 4-6 hours until the brushes are completely dry. Since this wasn't the first time I cleaned my brushes I knew larger sized brushes like the powder brush or contouring brush need some more time. After six hours they were still slightly damp in the middle.

My thoughts: Because the roll holds only 12 brushes I can't dry all my brushes in their (well, right now I only use up to 8 brushes, however this is a downside for everyone who wants to clean all their brushes.)
Furthermore the smaller eye brushes didn't fit so I had to let them dry on a tissue.
I like the idea behind it and for $29/ 47$/ 35€ it is a good deal. Moreover you can also use it as an additional brush roll or for traveling.
