Affordable Way to Clean Your Brushes

Hey guys!!

One thing I was never told when I first started with makeup is that you HAVE to clean your brushes because if you don't a lot of nasty bacteria can build up and can affect your skin. I would get breakouts a lot more often especially on my cheeks before I started cleaning my brushes. 

I know not everyone can afford to buy any brush cleaner that will thoroughly clean your brushes. Well I am going to share with you guys an affordable way to clean your brushes using: 


I learned about this on YouTube from Laura Harris and it has made such a difference. She deleted the video so I tried my best recording on my phone hopefully it will be helpful.


Here I show you with an eyeshadow brush. You first wet the bar of soap, draw 8 on the bar numerous times, put the soap under the water to clean the shadow off of it, and just repeat 2 or 3 times. After that you put the soap down and then put your hand under the running water and draw 8 on your hand numerous times under the water and out of the water 2 or 3 times. Repeat the process till the soap is clean when you draw 8.


Here's another video with my blush brush. After you finish cleaning one brush squeeze all the water you can off the brush, fix up your brush to the shape its supposed to be, and put it on top of a towel face down.


Ignore the sucky brushes on here I am working on getting better brushes slowly but surely lol.
I hope I made sense during this blog if not you can ask questions in the comments.

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

Hey guys!!! I love love love the Batiste Dry Shampoo , but before I traveled back in October I had ran out and I didn't have time to buy more. I went into a drugstore and the only thing I found was a Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo so I decided to go ahead and try it out.  I honestly do not like this dry shampoo, but I don't hate it. This dry shampoo will get the job done. It sucks up all the oils in your hair and it will stay like that till the next day. I hate the smell of it. To me it turns me off to a product if it doesn't smell good. Also a couple days ago I sprayed some in and someone told me that one side of my hair is white. This is definitely a product that you need to brush it out after a few minutes of applying it to your hair. The white cast that it leaves behind also turn me off to this product. Overall this is an okay dry shampoo. I will be going back to Batiste as soon as this is done haha. Have you guys tried this product?? What do you think??
