Brush Cleaning 101


Oh, thank you thank you makeup brushes. In return, it's time to take care and clean you because you are probably dirty and full of bacteria. 

Here are two ways to clean your makeup brushes:

Heavy Duty
  1. Use a professional brush cleaning spray from a your local or online beauty supply
  2. Start with your foundation and cream blush brushes (these have the most product residue and need the most attention)
  3. Spray solution directly on the brush heads and soak the bristles completely
  4. Rub the brush head back and forth over a paper towel or tissue repeatedly until there is no more product coming off
  5. Spray the rest of your brushes one at a time (i.e. eyeliner, lip, eyebrow brushes)
Gentle D.I.Y.
  1. Pour a tablespoon of any baby or organic shampoo into a small bowl
  2. Add warm water from your faucet so it gets nice and bubbly
  3. One at a time, dip your used brushes into the solution, gently swirling them across the bottom of the bowl to release the product. Keep the brushes in the water as you add each new one.
  4. After washing, let the brushes have a quick soak for 5-10 seconds, no more and no less
  5. One by one, hold each brush under cold water to rinse any remaining product and seal the hairs
  6. Re-mold each brush if necessary by pressing the hairs between your fingers until it’s back to its original shape
Drying Station

Do not dry your brushes in an upright position because the water settles into the glue that’s holding the bristles together at the base of each brush head and starts breaking down the glue over time, causing the hairs to come off when you swipe the brush against your face. So you can either lay your brushes flat or even better, make this quick little drying station in two steps!
  1. Grab a hand towel, a paper towel or a dinner napkin. Fold it in half three times, to make it smaller and to create a “crease,” then unfold it once. Where your crease was, slide anything cylinder shaped under it to create the base of your see-saw.
  2. Balance each brush across the crease so that the brush head is pointing down, but not touching the napkin. Now let them dry completely for a few hours (or overnight).

BB Creams and CC Creams

BB Creams

BB is short for "blemish or beauty balms". It has the anti-aging formulas combine the hydration of a moisturizer with the coverage of a foundation. They treat all kinds of concerns (like fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and oiliness), offer SPF protection, act as a primer for makeup, cover minor blemishes and even out your skin tone. 


CC Creams

CC is short for "color and care" or "color and correct", CC creams are essentially BB creams on steroids. They're designed to offer more coverage than BB creams but still go on sheer, they moisturize better, and they contain hard-core anti-aging ingredients.

What do you think? BB or CC Creams?

Blueberry Beauty


"Blueberries are nutritional and contain powerful antioxidants, which protect our skin by neutralizing free radicals, which can damage skin cells," says dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad. "Blueberries assist in reducing redness for those who suffer from sensitive skin conditions such as rosacea, as well as help neutralize acne-prone skin. In addition, if you have blotchy, dry, dull, or sun-damaged skin, eating blueberries on a regular basis can help leave skin looking clearer, firmer, and more youthful looking."

According to Dr. Murad, you get more beauty benefits out of these health foods by ingesting them, rather than applying them. "The health of our skin is not only affected by what we put on it topically, but also what we ingest internally. This is because topical skin care products only address the 20% of your skin on the surface; the other 80% of your skin is affected by what you eat and drink."

New Blush!

It's been awhile since I had a new color out. I'm on a mission to launch the new blush colors and so far have 1 color. I call this Outrageous Pink as it's the sister color of Pink Blossom eyeshadow ( Pink Blossom is versatil so you can use it as a blush too!). It's pretty much the same color however there's an extra ingredient.

This is a HOT pink shimmery blush. Create a subtle color definition to your cheeks that will add radiance and a glow, for a healthy look you can see. Applies easily and blends seamlessly for natural looking, sheer, soft radiant color that won't streak or fade all day.

This blush is packed with a sealed sifter in a 10 gram jar.
Qty: 1
Net Weight: 2 grams
Ingredients: mica, titanium dioxide, tin oxide, iron oxide, silica, magnesium stearate, zinc oxide

Here is the listing on our Etsy site:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/104199931/mineral-blush-outrageous-pink-pink-blush

Look out for more blush and bronzers colors.
