Hey Dolls!
Todays post is about brush cleansing & storage!
So I have never used an expensive brush cleaner, I don't own any lovely Mac or Bobbi brown brushes
So I don't see any need for me to shell out on an expensive cleanser
Here are my dirty brushes - 
I have a variety of brushes from Cosmopolitan & Ruby and Millie to cheap 17 ones and they do me just fine!
A girl simply still needs clean brushes, even if they aren't deluxe ones
I suggest Tesco Coconut shampoo!- 99p for 750ml 
I've often read about people using baby shampoo and I've tried that myself also, but you know I love coconut!
This shampoo has added moisturisers, smells gorgeous and the massive bottle will last you for ages!
It will leave your brushes lovely and soft & smelling delish!
I totally recommend using a cheap moisturising shampoo if you are looking for a brush cleanser!
Just in case your interested?
I wash my brushes twice weekly & my foundation brush three times a week
This really is a must, they work so much better & you definitely have less chance of breaking out
After washing, I just mould the bristles into their original shape and lay them out on a towel to dry! 
On another note
I thought I would share with you something new I picked up the other day and it is a great way to store brushes
Pink heart pencil holder - This is only 99p from Tescos!
Its meant to be a stationary holder and would look so cute on a desk, but It's so pretty and is a fab brush holder!
And how satisfying when your brushes are all clean and fluffy and sitting in a cute holder! 
Hope you girlies enjoyed this post
Do you have any good brush recommendations or brush cleansers?

Shannon - Ahh thanks girly, I can't believe it was so cheap! Thanks for your comment! x
what a great idea! x
I love the shampoo suggestion! I saw the little heart holder the other day in tesco and so nearly bought it! xx
I used to use baby shampoo too, but it's not antibacterial, so I use a gentle handwash with antibacterial agents!

I do exactly the same, use a mild shampoo on them and it works just fine :)
Always leaves them soft and smooth

Anti bacterial soap sounds like it would be amazing also, I will definitely give that a whirl!

The heart container is too adorable! I just use glass tumblers from peets haha, not near as cute! xxx
hahahha soooo funny i saw this little heart pencil holder in Tescos a few weeks back and actually picked it up and bought it along with a few other bits for my daughter's friends birthday present. Literally as i was walking back to the car i said to my daughter 'oh my god i should totally have bought that heart thing for my make up brushes'....but just could not be bothered to go back, and now they don't have any left :-(((
I love that heart container! Very cute! When I wash my brushes I will use either shampoo (anything that works for my hair and I have laying around) or Dove body cleanser. I really want to try that coconut one because I LOVE the smell of coconuts!

Adorable brush holder..i love hearts!
What a lovely brush holder. Looks so cute and adorable. Love it!!! =D
I love the heart brush holder sooo cute!! I got my blusher brush from the Body Shop for christmas. They are a little expensive (I think mine was £12-£15)but they are sooo soft! They're retractable too which means that it stays clean in my makeup bag and I can take it with me on nights out. Love the blog X x
oooo shampoo for cleaning brushes, i am gonna do it (:
Just got your comment on my last OOTD post hun, i'm wearing Snob by MAC - Thought this would be the easiest way to let you know hehe xx
