Cleaning My Makeup Brushes

Today I decided it was time to clean my brushes, I know your supposed to clean them every two weeks, but it’s more of a monthly thing for me.  I going to share my tools and techniques for cleaning makeup brushes. I have a Sigma brush cleaning mat that I use with Beauty Blender solid cleanser to clean all my brushes and sponges.  I lather my brushes in the solid cleanser then wash them with the mat.  I love this mat because its divided up into sections to clean and rinse face brushes and eye brushes.  Once the water runs clean I squeeze the excess water out of my brushes and lay them on a towel to dry.  This process cleans my brushes and also leaves them feeling soft and almost new.

Colour Pop Eyeshadow Review

On Thanksgiving I did a post where I mentioned Colour Pop’s collab with No Kill Los Angeles , they have two eyeshadows in the shades Cat Nap and Puppy Love available here.  I ordered both and they are so pretty.

Cat Nap is on the left, Puppy Love is on the right.

The two shades are gorgeous, they have great pigmentation and look so nice together.  Cat Nap is a super shimmery pink-gold color and Puppy Love is a less shimmery lighter pink.  The best part is definitely that all proceeds go to NKLA, check out their website to see other ways you can help and visit Colour Pop to grab these beautiful eyeshadows.

October Favorites

Hey guys, I know the first week of November is almost over, but I really wanted to do a favorites post so here it is.

The first thing I’ve been loving is a Bath and Body Works candle called pumpkin pie.  It smells like everything fall and it’s amazing. Sadly I’m almost out, but I’ve really enjoyed it and the holder I bought for it is so cute.

 I bought some MAC pigments in copper sparkle (left) and  old gold (right). They’re both so pretty and versatile and I’m definitely considering expanding my little collection.

I’ve also been using the Benefit goof proof brow pencil in shade 4 every single day.  Just like the name says it’s nearly impossible to mess up, It’s easy to blend and remove if you get it in the wrong spot.

And finally I have recently discovered the best makeup remover I’ve ever know: Garnier’s micellar water.  It takes off every kind of make up so easily and the big bottle will definitely last me a while.

That’s it for this months favorites, check out my instagram and twitter for more content.

Halloween!

Hey guys I know it’s been awhile since I’ve posted (midterms and things) so I thought I’d share my Halloween with you. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to be Drew Brees or a mermaid, so I decided to be Drew Brees as a merman. I got a lot of strange looks, but I had a lot of fun doing the makeup for it. I also carved a pumpkin, made pumpkin spice cupcakes (recipe here) and watched The Ghost and Mr. Chicken with my family, it was a lot of fun.
