My Make-Up Brush Cleaning Routine

I have looked around for so much information on how to wash make-up brushes. But I have discovered a very simple routine which I swear by.

First of all, cleaning your make-up brushes is a very important part of your skin care and make-up application. It is vital to do your make-up with clean brushes. I have to admit i

t, I don't wash my make-up brushes every week, but this is because I wear make-up only on the weekends, so every other weekend I will give them a clean.

I have also purchased the make-up brush cleanser from No7 for my brushes, it is a very good product, but for some reason I don't feel like it's cleaning the brushes up to my standards and my liking. I have only used this product once, i don't use it anymore so I will probably be selling it on my Depop which I will probably post it up on our Instagram page or I might even do a small post about it on here.

Carrying on, I have a small set of make-up brushes. Most of them are Real Technique brushes, but that's because I received one set as a Christmas present from my brother ( I obviously asked for it!). I do have a Bobbi Brown eye shadow brush, an eye shadow brush from Marsk (received it in my October's GlossyBox), Primark kabuki brush (I'm in love with it) and the rest are Real Techniques. Oh! I forgot.. I do own a blusher brush from The Bodyshop and Avon however I stopped using the one from the Bodyshop at the moment, no particular reason, I just use the Avon's brush instead. I love both of them, but at the moment I'm having more of a relationship with the Avon brush.

So moving on to the actual reason I am writing this post, is because I want to share my make-up brush cleaning routine.

1. I get a huge salad bowl and fill 1/3 with warm water.

2. I then pour about 3 table spoons of Baby Johnson's shampoo and swirl it around so it foams up just a little bit.

3. I drop all of my brushes into the warm soapy water and leave them to soak it up for about 5 minutes.

4. I have recently purchased a Brushegg to give my brushes a more deeper cleanse, so I start swirling each brush onto the Brushegg bumpy bit. I use the bigger part of it for bigger brushes and smaller part for smaller brushes.

5. Once all brushes have been given a really good cleanse I rinse them under warm water.

6. Once all the brushes are free of the soapy water, I dip them in any conditioner or hair mask and leave it in for about 10/15 minutes, to give that very soft bristle feeling.

Giving my brushes a very good 'hair' treatment like I would give my own hair.

7. I then rinse the hair mask/conditioner with warm water and I make sure that I drain 90% of the water out of the bristles.

8. I lay them out on a dry towel and leave them to dry out over night.

9. Once they are dry, they are good go and be used to apply our make up.

So this is the routine for cleaning my brushes. I have cleaned them this way many times before and I have never been disappointed. Anyone can try this at home and if you ladies don't like it, use another routine. It's OK!

Thank you for reading this post, I hope you found this very useful and I will speak to you all later.

Until next time, girls!

No7 Product review!

Hello Loves,

So today I am going to tell you why you should get up run to boots or superdrug and get these amaizing products that I am going to tell you about.(it's on offer 3 for the price of 2)

I am still a beginner when it comes to skin care and No7 products and I am still experimenting to find the products that most suit my skin and me.

Over time I collected few of the vouchers from boots so I decided it was time to go and treat myself for the summer! So ladies lets get into the review shall we!

First is an eye makeup remover.

If I get lazy I just use wipes that also removes eye makeup,but most days I try to really work on my skin and try to nourish it and that's why I decided to splurge if you would call that and get a bit of an upper brand eye makeup remover this specific one is oil based (which I did not read before using it) so you only need few drops on your cotton ball to take off all your eye makeup off. 

Now oil based products are tricky to learn how to use but once you get the hang of it you will love it.Oil based formula works in a way that it will cover your used product "mascara" and the oils will break down the product and that's when you can easily slide the cotton ball across your eye and the makeup will just rub off onto the cotton ball leaving you makeup free.But what i discovered soon was that the remover totally did almost nothing I had to rub the cotton ball on my eyes for a while and most of the mascara was still on the lashes it also made my eye area sticky and itchy, so I guess I would say try it if you have vouchers and can get this product for half price because it is defenetly not worth the full price.

Next we have a cleanser for sensitive skin as I mentioned before skin care is still new to me so I have never had much experience with it but I swear with this product my skin changed it became much softer, smoother and almost blemish and pimple free! So I was so happy with this product and I would defenetly recommend.

Last but defenetly not least is the soft and gentle toner which is an amazing product it is gentle and I think alcohol free it also has a very subtle fragrance to it.It removes every dirt or makeup particle with a gentile wipe and works wondets for my skin type (which is combination).

Thank for reading

Clean Make-up Brushes!!!

Hey Girls,

I am very excited about this product and cannot wait to tell you about it!

Sooo.. I have had make-up brushes for a long time now, w7, Body Shop and now Real Techniques, but I guess I have never cleaned them very thoroughly and I used to use make-up remover to clean it. WRONG!!!

From the moment I purchased Real Techniques make-up brushes I just wanted to treat them right and have clean brushes regularly. Being smart enough I have rummaged through the whole drug store until I found THE make-up brush cleaner and of course it was from No7!

When I got home I instantly went up to my room and got out my make up brushes and started the process. I am not sure if all make-up brush cleansers work the same way, but the way this No7 cleanser works is by soaking a cloth or paper towel with the product and running the brush across the soaked cloth or paper towel. You will instantly see the result and they are amazing! Don't forget to wait for the bristles to dry before applying make-up with it.

Review, comment and follow! :)
