99p Brush cleanser & Storage!

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?

Lipstick of the Day - Pink blush

Hello my lovelies!

So as an alternative to the usual FOTD
I thought I would start doing short and sweet posts featuring the lipstick I am wearing of the day!

Pink blush - Rimmel







Apolagies for the very posy pictures haha



Pink blush - Rimmel

This is such a gorgeous colour
A bright bubblegum pink - Somewhere along the lines of MAC's Saint Germain & Viva Glam Gaga

It has a lovely creamy sheer texture so is a sheer step into the big bold world of bright lipsticks!

What do my girlie's think?
Has anyone tried pink blush?

Chanel Chance - Zara Dupe

Hello Dollies!

As a fellow beauty blogger, I feel it is my most important duty to inform you of cheap dupes!

We all love a cheap alternative, especially if it is a Chanel alternative




Chance by Chanel is my all time favourite perfume, but at £60 a pop I use it sparingly and it doesn't get much love!

When I was having a little browse in Zara I came across this beauty
Zara Collection




I am not exaggerating at all, it smells exactly the same and lasts a really long time! And it is only around £13!

It's such a distinctive scent and it is perfect for nightime, I definitely recommend this!
I carry this around with me at all times and smell of Chanel as often as I please!

Hope this helps anyone who loves the scent of Chance!

Does anyone else know of any amazing dupes they'd like to share?

Cult Item - Eye makeup remover

Hello Dollies!

I am thinking I am going to start a regular series of posts on my blog
Featuring my most loved,iconic products and cult items

These are the products I will always buy again and again and that I think everyone should know about!
Sound good?

So let me start with .... The best eye makeup remover you will ever get your paws on!

Botanics - Soothing Eye makeup remover





This is amazing!

It never ever irritates my sensitive eyes, and is hands down the best and quickest at removing waterproof mascara
So easy and you literally just wipe your eyes a few times with this on cotton wool, no more excuses for not taking eye makeup off!
It contains Icelandic moss to hydrate and calm skin
It is only £2.99 and will last you two months at least!



I think what makes it amazing, is the oil in the product, it is what makes this remover so silky and allows removal of eye makeup with no rubbing!
As you can see it is a separate layer, and once shaken up it blends with the other liquids
Fear not , it does not leave eye lids extremely greasy and I often use it to clear up mistakes as I am doing my makeup

I have nothing bad to say about this at all
Get it now!


What do you girlie's think?
Good idea for a series of posts?
Has anyone tried this, I hope you are all on the positive bandwagon with me!
