Clean Your Brushes!!!!

I can not stress enough how IMPORTANT it is to clean your brushes ladies!!! If you do not clean them on a daily basis, especially your foundation and powder brushes, they collect bacteria which causes breakouts and builds up dirt and dust on your face. EW! So the proper way to clean your brushes are as follows:
~You'll Need:
-A Sink
-Water
-Baby Shampoo
-Non Scented Anit-Bacterial Handsoap.

The First thing you'll want to do is rinse off all of your brushes in warm water. Make sure you don't get the whole brush wet, just get the brissels wet, if you get the whole handle wet it will loosen up the glue and your brush will fall apart.

Next you'll want to take a quarter size amount of baby shampoo in your hand and dip the brush into the shampoo and rub it in circular motions. Then you want to rinse that off and repete until there isn't any product on your brush.

Next do that same thing but instead of using the baby shampoo use the anit-bacterial handsoap. This will kill all the germs on your brush. Do not repete unless you feel it is needed.

Then hang your brushes upside down to dry, if you leave them brissles up or lay it on its side the extra water on the brush will seep it's way back into the brush and move towards the glue holding the brush together, which will cause your brush to break or the brissles will start to fall out.

Hope this works for yous, because it sure works for me!! :)

Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

Ok so It's 11:25 at night and I'm bored so I thought I'd do a review on the Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation. I've been LOVING this foundation lately!! I have a very oily complexion and it's very hard for me to find a foundation that looks good on me all day long. This foundation has to be my second favorite foundation. (first being 24 hour stay foundation, i think it's by maybelline?) Anywho this foundation is my life saver!! It stays on all day long, and all i need is a quick refresh of the Stay Matte Translucent Powder and I'm good to go. The only thing about this foundation is it's not very good with coverage, it's a tiny bit sheer, but it's awesome for days when I dont feel like wearing alot of makeup. I just can't say anything that will describe how much I adore this foundation!! It never makes my face look extremly oily during the day, and when my face does get oily during the day I either like I said blot it with oil blotting paper or I refresh it with powder and it still looks fresh!! I give this foundation a thumbs up!! Maybe two thumbs up!!! :)
