Cleanser - Eye Shadow Brushes
Soap - Sponges and Foundation Brushes
My favourite method of cleaning my brushes is to us a sponge. I first started with a proper beauty blender soap which made cleaning my miracle complexion sponges so much easier. Once that ran out i picked up some standard body soaps and they work just as well. I find foundation brushes wash really easily with soaps as the foundation can build up on the brushes which can be stubborn to remove. The best thing about this method is that you can find packs of soap for basically nothing in B&M or Home bargains!
Shower Products - Majority of Brushes
This is definitely the cheapest option and gives my brushes the best clean out of all the three. I like to do a big clean with all my brushes when I use this method so I don't tend to do it too often as it can be time consuming. When I do use this method I feel like a new women after I am finished. I usually wet the brushed under a running tap and then swirl them around in a handful of shower gel and run under running water again until it runs clean. This can be super quick with eye shadow brushes but can take longer with foundation brushes. This is my favourite method to wash my brushes and for just £6.50 these products can last for months and months even if you washed your brushes once a week.
As you can see i have a lot of brushes to wash... Which method do you prefer to use? Do you have any cheaper alternatives?
Just because I write a blog about beauty and makeup doesn't mean I know everything about makeup and doesn't mean that I can do all the tricks which I certainly can't. I thought it would be good to make a list of all the things I can't do just for fun.
1. Winged liner
I am so rubbish at winged liner it is really embarrassing, my attempts are so funny. It takes me hours of watching YouTube videos and reading beauty books to even attempt to do them and they still done work out every time. I think we all share a bond on this one.
2.Applying blush without looking like a drag queen
It doesn't matter how lightly I use my hands when handling blush, I always look like a drag queen with it on. I've never found a colour that suits my skin perfectly and look good with my bronzers so I tend to avoid them.
3. Keeping up with fake tanning
I have loads of different fake tans in my cupboards in my bedroom and I absolutely love the look of wearing fake tan but after I've applied it once... I forget/can't be bothered to do it again and before I know it, I am pale again. I then don't bother with fake tan for a few weeks until I start the process again.
4. Doing anything with my hair other then clipping half of it up
I am so lazy with my hair! I do have an excuse at the minute with work but even when I am not at work, I tend to not style my hair at all. The most I do most days is clip it up just to get it out of my face. My straighteners are feeling pretty unloved!
5.Applying more then 2 eye shadow colours at one time
I love a good golden shimmer eye shadow over a matte base for a day to day look. When it comes to adding more colours into the equation I tend to end up ruining what I have already done so that's another thing I tend to stay well clear of.
