Make your own makeup brush cleaner

Tight on money and still looking for a decently priced brush cleaner? Well here is what you need...

1 cup of water

1/4 cup of rubbing alcohol (higher percentage the better to kill bacteria)

1 Tbsp of leave in conditioner

1/2 Tbsp shampoo

1/2 Tbsp of dish soap

Mix slowly to avoid bubbles do it's easier to pour into a storage container. I'm order to use cleaner... Pour small amount into bowl. Take the brush that you want to clean and swirl it in cleaner. You will see the cleaner changing colors... That's the makeup coming off!!! Then rinse in Luke warm water, fix the hairs so they aren't all over the place, and place in towel to air dry. Don't stand brushes up! You might have to repeat cleaning and rinsing depending on how dirty the brush is.

Now you can keep your brushes clean and bacteria free. Saving you money and saving your brushes! :)

I bought these from sephora... And I love them! They are what the artists use on Zooey Deschanel to give her that light and fresh natural beauty look. Zooey doesn't wear a lot of makeup to begin with... So the MUA likes to use alot of products to enhance her naturally beautiful skin. The products that they use are listed below..( the NARS iiluminator in orgasm that I bought isn't on the list, but its a great highlighter for that natural glow and compliments the orgasm blush *yes it's called orgasm haha*)

There is also this really great website I came across that shows outfits "Jess" wears in the show... Where you can get them, and where you can get the more costly alternatives. It also shows outfits that Zooey is caught wearing all over town! Pretty cool site if you love her and her style like so many girls these days!

Summer Makeup

Summer is almost officially here. The humidity can be a huge damper when you are trying to look your best. Keep your makeup light and sheer but still get the coverage you want... By using a tinted moisturizer! You can buy your perfect shade or make your own by mixing your facial moisturizer with your liquid foundation. For all those bare mineral users out there... Mineral foundation works just as well, if not better. The advantage of making your own tinted moisturizer is that the shade is already perfect and you can adjust the amount of coverage you need... Simply by adding more foundation or more moisturizer. It leaves your skin looking fresh and dewey, without feeling heavy and caked on. Perfect for the warm summer months ahead of us! You can also add a touch of powdered bronzer to match your sun kissed tan skin!

I use "say yes to carrots" facial moisturizer and MACs "Studio sculpt with SPF" foundation. MAC also makes a very light moisturizing concealer called "select moisture cover".... For those days where you want coverage without putting makeup all over your face. Another hot product I see is a favorite among makeup artists... Is Laura Mercers tinted Moisturizers.

Hope this tip helped and saves you money at the same time! :)

Product Review

Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

I bought this mascara because Kandee Johnson had it on her favorites video of 2011. So I figured I'd try it our, cuz she usually knows best.

Result: longer, thicker lashes with absolutely NO CLUMPING!

Please remember to always curl your lashes before applying mascara, so that you don't pluck all your lashes out. And makes sure your curler is clean!!!

This mascara was like $11... It was a good buy... But if I'm gonna be spending that kind of money on mascara... I'd rather spend it on MACs plush lash mascara. It gives the same results, but with much fuller lashes.

Hope this helps :)

Magenta lips

Magenta lips are huge this summer!!! To create this look I used a magenta liner from "MAC" as well as a discontinued pink color from their hello kitty collection. But I found almost the exact same color made by "Rimmel London" Which you can find by the link below.

(http://m.ulta.com/mt/www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2225509&productId=xlsImpprod1880075&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80058#details)

This look is flattering on all skin tones, and it just looks even better with your sun kissed skin. I posted two pictures of this look, because lighting isn't always accurate. The picture using the flash shows the real, almost neon look that you get combining these two products.

You can always find a lipstick with a similar color to this look... But instead of going out and buying a brand new lipstick... I used what I had to create my desired look.

Hope you enjoy your new magenta lips!!!


Mmmmmuuuwwwaahhh!

Product Review

I just got these two products and they work like magic!

Biore stopped making my face wash that I reviewed on an earlier post. So began the dance of fash washes in order to find the right one. I literally tried 5 faces washes til I found this one. They were all either too drying ir left a filmy feel on my face... And bo one likes that!

St. Ives green tea face cleanser. It's very gently on my sensitive skin so it doesn't over dry, yet it's strong enough to kill the blemishes. I noticed clearer results in about two days. I highly recommend this product!

I also have an issue with dark spots, where I get a lot of blemishes. Mostly on my cheeks. I used the dark spot corrector from garnier... And the very next day... I saw lighter skin. I only use it at night because I have combination skin and if I use too much lotion I get oily.

Both products get two thumbs up!
