Sorry I've been gone.... BUT!

Hi everyone!

I'm so sorry I haven't made a post in a really long time, I honestly just haven't been feeling it and was lacking inspiration, BUT I would like to let you in on what I launched tonight - my YouTube channel!

I have been meaning to recreate my channel for almost two years now but just wanted to do it when I felt I was ready to again (hence why I went through with blogging instead at the beginning of this year).

I will be posting every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday nights with the occasional random vlog pop up here and there.

It would mean allot if you could all head over to my channel and like and subscribe and all that stuff! :)



Send me some requests in the comments on my channel or tweet/instagram me your suggestions, all my links are in the downbar.

How To: Cleaning Makeup Brushes

Wanted to know how to clean your brushes without the expensive spray and liquids? Tonight I'm going to let you all in on how I clean mine. Enjoy!.

First off you're going to need 3 bowls, fill one up with 2-3cm of hot water with a drop of washing detergent. The second bowl just fill with hot water, and the third fill half way with cold water and add a few ice cubes into it.

Bowl one

Bowl two

Bowl three

Before you start to clean the brushes with the water, using paper towel or tissues (paper towel works best) brush off most of the excess product onto the paper towel.

All the steps for cleaning your brushes are basically all the same.
Dip the brush first into the hot water with detergent, then before moving the brush into the second bowl, squeeze out (using your hands) your brush.

Putting the brush into the second bowl, swirl it around like in the first step and repeat the same step before moving into the last bowl.

The ice bowl is the last bowl for your brushes to be dipped into and swirled around in.

Once you've finished with the bowls, take another piece of paper towel and squeeze the brush into it taking away left over water.
