ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus and cosmetic brush for reducing bacteria. The apparatus includes a sterilized cosmetic brush in a re-useable enclosure, wherein the re-useable enclosure is designed to be used during the entire life span of the cosmetic brush. The re-useable enclosure shields the sterilized brush from bacteria during shipping and sale display. Once the apparatus and brush are purchased, the re-useable enclosure and the bacteria resistant brush handle prevent the growth and spread of bacteria to other brushes. Finally, the apparatus prevents bacteria spread and growth within the re-useable enclosure by not allowing the brush and handle to touch the inner surface of the re-useable enclosure.
