How I Wash My Make Up Brushes!

Hey everyone!

I'm going to show and talk about how I personally clean my make up brushes and what works for me. I know many people have different ways and use different things so I thought I'd share mine. Obviously I'm no expert so haha. Cleaning brushes is such a boring job but when they're all nice and clean after it's literally the best feeling!!
Washing your brushes regularly is important so you don't keep spreading bacteria from your face and to the brush, which can cause break outs of spots on your face which nobody wants.

These are the brushes I was cleaning when doing it this time around.


So the first step is to wet your brush under lukewarm water, make sure you're holding the brush downwards as you don't want water going down into the brush, it can make the bristles fall out.

After your brush is dampened, put some of your cleaning product onto either the back or palm of your hand. Today I was just using a hand wash as I had no shampoo left. Don't worry if there isn't enough you can always add more if you think it needs more, obviously more is needed for bigger brushes.

Next, grab your brush and start to swirl around in circular motions on the product, remember to keep adding a little water onto the brush to lather the product up getting more dirty product out of the bristles. 

When you've finished doing this, squeeze out all of the water and dirty product into the sink. I actually find it fun to watch it all drip it haha!! Knowing all that dirt has been in my brush disgusts me!! Keep adding a little water aswell to make sure you're getting it all out of the root of the brush.

Ta-da! After these photos I cleaned the rest of my dirty brushes!  When all your brushes are clean it's time to let them dry, it's best to let them try overnight to really dry them. When letting them dry, try to let the bristles end of the brush face down onto some toilet paper or a towel, this makes the dregs of water come out of the brush to thoroughly dry it.

By the morning your brushes will be nice and dry ready to use again!

Thanks for reading :)

Zoella Beauty!

Hey everyone!

So last week, Zoe Sugg aka Zoella brought out her new beauty range of products! I've been so excited for these products ever since she announced about them.

When they finally came out they literally sold out SO quick it was unbelievable tbh, so I waited a few days before I could order what I really wanted from her range. I bought the blue eyes make up bag/pencil case which was £8 and the bath soak/shower cream which was £5, I also wanted to buy the body mist but it was sold out so I'm gonna buy that at a later date. :) The make up bag is such a good size because it can even fit brushes in there and most make up bags cant because they're too small so I'm loving it already! It's so cute. And also the bath soak smells absolutely DELIGHTFUL! Seriously it does. It's like a really fresh floral scent, when it arrived in the post I couldn't stop sniffing it haha, so weird.

I really love to watch Zoe's Youtube videos, she's such as great person!
