Keeping your makeup brushes clean

As I was putting my makeup on today, I glanced down at my brushes and knew it was time to clean them. I usualy wipe them off everytime I use them with a makeup remover, but that just doesn't seem to do the job just right. It doesn't take much time out of your day to clean your brushes and it's a good thing to do often. After many uses makeup gets trapped in your brush and the bacteria starts to seep in, which can cause acne and believe it or not your makup doesn't go on as smooth. here are some easy steps to follow!

You will need:

1 cup of hot water

3-4 pumps of soap ( I like to use dial)

1 towel ( that you don't mind getting stained of course)

How to:

1. Dip your brushes in the hot soapy water, let soak for 2-3 minutes.

2. Use towel, and move brushes back in and forth, not too rough until you see the old makeup appear on the towel.

3. Repeat step 1 & 2, a couple more times.

After your brushes should look new again!you can do this 1-2 times a week if you are using heavy makeup. If you dont use your makeup every day and it's really light makeup try to clean them every 2 weeks. You can also buy a brush cleaner at any retail store or makeup counter.

If your makeup brushes look like this I would suggest cleaning them ASAP!

clean brushes always makes a clean face happy!

Makeup After Bedtime

After a long day of work, school and errands I can't wait to climb into bed like most people. As for us ladies we can't always hop right into bed, washing off your makeup is very important. Falling asleep with your makeup on causes you to break out with pimples and blackheads, as well as waking up with puffy eye's, and chancing of a stye occuring in your eye. For you ladies who don't know what a stye is, they can form on the outside or inside of your eyelid, it often looks like a lump, with a white or yellow spot that looks much like a large hard pimple. These can last for a couple days and often cause some swelling and pain. You cannot, I mean cannot use any makeup around your eyes while you have one or you will spread the infection.

Going to bed with your makeup on isn't always good for your face but as well as your pillows. Believe it or not when you lay your head down on your pillow with that all that makeup on from earlier it rubs off onto your pillow. Even if it's only for one or two nights you should change your pillow cover, with old makeup on your pillow this will cause you to break out even after washing your face. I know must of us girls cant stand those nasty pimples are annoying blackheads on our beatiful faces! Here are some tips on what to wash your face with and what to carry with you if you don't make it home that night!

For an affordable price: Equate Facial Cleansing Towelettes

Mac Bulk Wipes

These are a little more expensive( $26.00) but these work amazing and are sooo durable

As for face wash anything you use that suites you should work, as long as you remember to wash your face in the morning when you wake up and at night before you go to sleep.

and also don't forget to always put a moisturizer or face cream on your face after washing!
