Superdrug Haul #2

 

As you all know I can’t resist shopping, especially for new make-up.  I went to my local Superdrug and got some goodies.  Recently I am loving Superdrug for bargains because they stock MUA which I love right now.

As you can see I went a little lipstick mad.  It is hard to find MUA lipsticks in stock in my local Superdrug and went I saw these five beauties I had to buy them. I bought shades (Left - Right) Pouty Pink (Matte), Scarlet Siren (Matte), 1, 2 and 3.  They are all highly pigmented and only £1 each! A full blog post on my MUA lipstick collection and storage is coming soon. 

I have always been a fan of bright lips but I've always shyed away from colour on my eyes.  I want to get out of my comfort zone and try something new so I bought some non neutral eye liners, both of them was a £1 each.  I bought a liquid eye liner in shade 2 and a Intense glitter eye liner in Jade Jewel.  Both will be used in tutorials soon.

On the way out I was walking towards the till and I bumped into a little sale box full of goodies. I could not resist these, everything was 50p each! I have never tried GOSH make-up before so I'm not going to go into depth about these, so look out for a full blog post on these beauties. 

Are you a fan of MUA or GOSH make-up? what are your favourite products?

How to deep clean make-up brushes

I don't think anyone enjoys this beauty chore but it has done. Cleaning my brushes is something I do on a monthly basis, sometimes weekly depending on how much I wear make-up. Brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria, and no one wants an increase of blackheads and acne. This is my inexpensive way on cleaning my brush collection. 

Cleaning your make-up brushes is quick and easy, All you need is;

• Shallow Bowl

• Brush Shampoo, Baby Shampoo or Hand Wash

• Sink

• Cloth/towel 

Optional;

• Brush Guards

• Anti-bacterial Wipes

Instructions:

• Begin by running your brushes under lukewarm water, rinsing out all of the residual make-up. Try to focus on the actual bristles while avoiding the part of the brush where handle meets the head, as this can loosen the glue over time

 

• Squirt a pee sized amount of shampoo/hand wash on your hand, swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up lather

• Rinse the brush tip under running water once again. Repeat steps two and three until the water runs clear from the brush

• Lay your brushes flat on a cloth to dry

• Add brush guards to keep bristles in place (optional)

I tend to spot clean after every use should be a regular part of your beauty routine. Not to mention the fact that quality make-up brushes can be expensive. So learning how to properly clean them is one of the best ways to protect your investment.
