How To : Clean Your Makeup Brushes

October 19, 2015 2 Comments

Hi lover! Yesterday started off as a very lazy Sunday but then I kicked myself into gear and cleaned my whole home. During this cleaning spree, I gave my makeup brushes their weekly deep cleaning and that sparked the idea for this post. Every single time I do my makeup, I spot clean my brushes after I’m done. Then about once a week, I deep clean them. Here is what I use:

Spot Clean: Makeup Forever Instant Brush Cleanser – I buy this at Sephora and it comes in 2 different sizes, a mini/travel size and the regular/full size. I’ve used this product for over a year and I love how practical it is. Once I finish my makeup, I grab a tissue and spritz this onto the brushes and then swirl them until all the product comes off. With just one spray my brushes are clean and dry within about 2 minutes.
Deep Clean: Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castille Bar Soap – I bought this at Target and they have it in a variety of scents, but I like the lavender one. This soap is great to clean just about anything and makes washing my brushes a breeze. I simply rub the brush/beauty blender into the bar and rinse it until there is no remaining makeup. Once they’re clean I lay the brushes on top of a paper towel for them to fully dry overnight.

How do you like to clean your brushes? I hope this post helped you! Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.

Jewel Tones

Outfit Details: Shirt & Skirt – Forever 21 / Shoes – Steve Madden / Purse – Tory Burch / Bracelet – Swarovski / Rings – Mark by Avon Products / Earrings – Old

Hi lover! I am so excited the weekend is here so I can just relax and have fun. I don’t have any plans yet but I know it will be a great one. The day I took these pictures was same day I got my hair cut. It’s hard to tell because my hair still looks long (thankfully) but I just got some fresh layers added to the front and a trim in the back. A behind-the-scenes story of these pictures is that my boyfriend and I were driving and came across this beautiful, enormous field of grass. He suggested it was probably a golf course but I didn’t really believe it until the next day we went back and there were golfers playing lol!

This outfit is one of my new favorites, mostly because of the color.. jewel tones are my current obsession. I bought the shirt and skirt together at Forever 21 a few weeks back. The shirt is really just a t-shirt but since the color matched perfectly with the skirt I loved the look of them paired together. I know closer to the holidays I will wear a fancier blouse with this skirt so stay tuned for that!

I hope you have a lovely weekend lovers. Do you have any plans? Thanks for stopping by!

Thursday Treats 06

Hi lover! My Thursday Treats series is making a comeback today! Here are a few items I’ve been loving lately…

Makeup Geek Z-palette: Z-palettes are empty magnetic palettes where you can store any makeup item that is in a pan (eye shadow, blush, powder, contour shade etc.). These palettes come in different sizes and colors and this design is from the brand Makeup Geek and I just love it! Right now mine holds 12 eye shadows and 4 blushes, all from Makeup Geek. I bought it online here.
Earthbound Farm Organic Raisins: Ever since I was little, I loved eating raisins as a snack. These are the best ones I’ve ever tried! Lately I love adding them to tuna or as a salad topping.. delicious! I bought them at Publix.
Andalou Naturals Body Lotion in Mandarin Vanilla: I’ve been using this lotion for the last month and it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated. It absorbs quickly and the citrus scent is so nice especially to wear throughout the day. I bought it on sale at Whole Foods.
Ofra Cosmetics liquid lipstick in the shade Miami Fever: This lipstick was created by KathleenLights, a beauty vlogger on YouTube. She is an amazing woman and she posts consistently 3 times a week, I love her videos!! The shade of this lipstick is so unique, it’s a warm, deep orangey shade. It’s sold out at the moment but will be restocked at the end of this month. I bought it here.

What are some products you’ve been loving lately? I’d love to know and try them out. I hope you have a happy and stress-free day lovers!

Work Wears : Blues & Tartan

Outfit Details: Shirt – Zara / Skirt – Target / Shoes – Steve Madden / Purse – H&M / Watch, Bracelet & Ring – Michael Kors

Hi lover! We are half way through the work week and I always like Wednesdays for that reason. 🙂 In these pictures I’m continuing the blue trend from yesterday’s makeup post. I wore this outfit to work a few days ago and I love the tartan print of this skirt. I also liked how well it paired with some closet staples: a chambray top and nude heels.

This week I’ve been trying something different by setting a daily goal for myself (aside from a short, daily to-do list) and so far it has really helped me to stay focused and motivated! I’m going to try it for some more time and give you an update on how it helps my productivity. I hope you’re having a great week and that all your goals are met. Thanks for stopping by lover!

Secret Garden – Makeup Geek Look

October 13, 2015 3 Comments

Hi lover! I can’t begin to tell you how obsessed I am with this teal/emerald color. I know I’m really smitten by a color when I’m drawn to it in clothing, home décor and makeup. What’s funny to me is that for the last two years my favorite color has been mint, turquoise blue. So now that my favorite is this deeper, jewel-toned blue, I’m realizing I have a thing for the blues.

The first color I placed right above the crease was Nectar from the Lorac Pro 2 Palette. To give some depth, I put Coquette from Mac directly in the crease and blended the two shades for a smooth gradient. All over lid is my shining star, Secret Garden duo-chrome eye shadow by Makeup Geek. This color is probably my favorite of all the duo chrome eye shadows launched last month by Makeup Geek.

What is your favorite bold color to wear as eye shadow? Mine is definitely blue but I also love olives and purples. I hope you have a magical day lovers, thank you for stopping by!
