Brush Bath!

Hi Beauties!

Possible TMI coming up, but I am feeling rotten today: PMS + UTI = serious aches and pains. So I left college early and had a nice long bath :) That pampering made me feel guilty about the state of my room - I currently have a flourishing floordrobe - and whilst looking around in despair I spotted this little gem.

Bobbi Brown Conditioning Brush Cleanser (£10.50)

I bought this ages ago, with my two brushes, but hadn't got round to using it (sheer laziness :p). So I gathered up all of my brushes, took a shaming photo for y'all and got lathering!

Before...

...After!

 

An amazing transformation, particularly for my blusher and bronzer brushes which were, quite frankly, a disgrace. The colour of the foam on my hand showed that! There was one casualty; an eyeshadow sponge from a cheap set fell apart, but other than that, everything was fine :).

The shampoo is clear and has a faint minty scent. It rinses away really easily and also only needs one wash to clean thoroughly which I was impressed by. Now I'm really looking forward to doing my make-up tomorrow morning!

How often do you clean your brushes?

Lots of Love,

Everyday Face

Evening Beauties!

I was feeling really brave/stupid this morning so I thought I'd show you my everyday make-up look, even though I am possibly THE most unphotogenic person in the world lol :/. 

Prepare yourself for some shockers...

Everyday Face

 So, this is me, fresh out the shower, with just Good Things Miracle Mattifier Lotion (£7.99, Boots) and Carmex (£2.69). Now clearly the moisturiser is not right for my skin at the moment; I think I picked the wrong time to switch, just as all the heating comes on and the wind gets harsher, so I will be putting this back in the drawer until it gets warmer again.

My base:

Clarins Flash Balm (£27.50), 

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Foundation (£22.00), 

Benefit Lemon Aid (£16.50), 

Rimmel London Silky Loose Powder applied with Bobbi Brown Powder Brush (£47.00), 

Benefit thrrrob (£23.50) applied with Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush (£33.00),

more Carmex

and Smashbox O-Plump (£20.00). 

Eyes:

The Body Shop Carbon Eye Definer in Black (£9.00),

YSL Exaggerated Lashes Mascara in Deep Black (£22.00)

and spare mascara wand from an ancient set :)!

I like simple eyes for everyday, with natural looking lashes, so I always wiggle the spare wand through them to make sure they're well-defined.

TA-DAH! 

All done. What's your everyday make-up look?

Lots of Love,
