I decided to order these after washing my MAC 217, mainly because all the hairs seemed to splay and not sit right, this however did not effect how the brush worked as was as good as new just didn't look as appealing to the eye! So I ordered from the official site HERE and they shipped from the US and in GBP it cost me £5.36 inc shipping, which took about a week. Pretty good if you ask me. The company advised that they had been shipped and kept me up to date, we all like good customer service!
I ordered the Variety Pack, which included 1 Shadow/Liner (ex. small), 2 Blush (small), 2 Foundation (medium), 1 Powder/Kabuki (large). So I have these around my MAC 217 (yay!), Sigma F25, Lauren Luke Pencil Brush, Eco Tools Powder Brush and the final one around a cheap Accessorize Blush/Contour Brush.
I washed all these last night, put the guards over (by pulling up from the handle and over the brush hairs) and left them to dry. I checked them all this morning and they look great and all have their shape back much better than if let dry without.
Would give these a BIG thumbs up and would highly recommend them. We can spend a fortune on our brushes it's only fair we look after them and this will only increase the longevity of the brushes - In my opinion!!
**UPDATE**
After Evelyn aka Welldressed25 asked if using these guards made drying time quicker, I thought I would try this out. So around 1.30pm this afternoon I washed my Sigma F25 in the usual way to keep test fair (using baby shampoo) I then placed the guard over brush and left the house. I got home around 5pm and no lie the brush was 95% dry. I usually wash my brushes at night and then let them dry overnight but I do believe this does help. This is not a small eye brush, this is the tapered face so has various different length hairs and shape. I couldn't tell you how this works but hey if it does then all good!!
