How to wash your Make Up brushes

As requested I am going to explain how to wash and care for your make up brushes. 


You should be washing your brushes after every use, but who has the time for that!! Cleaning once a week is a good way to keep them in top shape and working best!  Washing brushes is very simple! 


1) Wet the bristles of your brush (don't get water in the part of the brush that connects the bristle to the brush.  Over time this will end up loosing the glue and your brushes will come apart)


2) Using a mild shampoo, cup your hand with a small amount of shampoo and spin your brush until all the make up is out. It may take a couple of times to get everything out depending on how often you wash and what color you have used. 


3) Using warm water rinse off the brush and reshape the bristles. 


4) Lay your brushes flat. Its best to let your brushes lay over the sink so that the water can drain down. 


5) Once dry, re-fluff and use!


Never store your wet brushes with the handle down!!!  




HOW TO STORE YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES:





There are many ways to store your brushes. The most common is a make up bag or a brush case. Both are perfectly fine.  If you are worried about your bristles getting out of shape, than a brush case is best due to the individual slots. A creative way to carry your brushes and keep them for getting messed up, is use an eye glass carrying case!! Another way to keep them at home, use a cute glass container with glass pebbles and stick in your brushes (handles down :))

Super Soft Hands

As you all may know, washing your hands drys your skin out! A easy way to help that is to make sure you moisturize every time you wash your hands, after doing dishes and what not! A good over night remedy for dry hands (and feet for that matter) is to put on your favorite hand cream (creams are heavier and thicker than lotions and will do better to  moisturize your skin) and put on your favorite cotton gloves (or socks!). When you wake up, your skin will be super soft!!!

A good hand cream is Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Hand Cream.

Eye Lashes

Do you apply mascara everyday or almost everyday? Some mascara can really dry your lashes out. Need a good way to keep them looking great all year long? Very simple!!!  Simply apply a thin layer of  vaseline for longer and thicker lashes! It will only take a few seconds at night. Simply put the vaseline on a q-tip and run the q-tip over both top and bottom lashes and go to bed! Wash it off in the morning! With in a couple of weeks you will start to see the difference!!


Dry Winter Skin

Ladies, do you suffer from dry winter skin? Even in winter we need to care for our skin, face and body. I know you are all exfoliating your face on a regular basis. But what about the rest of your body? It is important to exfoliate your body and keep it well moisturized  as well. An easy efoliant anyone can make at home is, 1 cup white or brown sugar and 1/2 cup olive oil or baby oil. mix well! This is a very basic recipe. You can get very creative and add different smells like lemon, or vanilla!  Don't forget to moisturize as soon as you get out of the bath or shower. You can use your favorite cream or for extra soft skin use baby oil!  Dont forget your elbows and feet!!
