love your brushes

Do you love your brushes like I love mine??? Well... You should!!!


To love and care for them follow the below instructions and it will help them last for ever and ever and keep your application looking flawless!!!


You will need to buy the below:
1. Baby shampoo
2. Quality conditioner
3. Large hand towel - I actually use a bath mat as it holds more
4. Brush Cleaner - You can get this for Napoleon Perdis and MAC


After each application you should clean you brushes with the brush cleaner - this disinfects them and makes them clean for the next use.


Each week you should wash them with baby shampoo and the big fluffy brushes you should condition as well. Wash each one is warm water and then lay them on the hand towel/ bath mat to dry. In summer they dry in about 2 hours however in winter I leave them out over night.


Because I have a set of brushes I clean mine with shampoo and conditioner after every job so they are clean for the next job I have! So you have no complaining about cleaning them only once a week! I can do it 7 times in one week!!!


Have al lovely weekend!

Should you throw some of your make up in the BIN!!!

Hi Everyone...

Hope this post finds you well... I have had a little of the flu the last week so I have had little motivation to come on here but fear not... I have returned....

Most of you have no idea that make up has a use by date. Using off make up can harm your skin. Use the tips below to help you with your make up products in your bag!

  • Almost all powders are anhydrous (which means they don't contain any water), which is great so that means they can last for a couple of years. 
  • Cleansers and moisturizers - Be sure to throw them in the bin after six months.
  • Multiuse products such as foundation sticks, concealers, lip glosses and creams can spread germs from lips to eyes and cheeks. Wipe the surface before switching areas, and also throw to the bin after after six months.
  • Pencils can last several years  - however you must sharpen before each use.
  • Mascara should be thrown to the bin after three months without fail. 
  • Foundations can last up to a year if you keep your fingers away from the bottle. You can purchase pumps for most foundations now so that will help keep your foundation free of germs.


Handy Hint - Be sure to always store your make up in a cool, dry place preferably not in the bathroom to extend their shelf life!!!


Have a lovely week.
