DIY Makeup Brush Cleaner♡

Cleaning your makeup brushes can cost a good bit of money when you have to clean them pretty often. This is an easy DIY you can do at home to clean and disinfect your makeup brushes for way less!


Here's what you're going to need:
1. 1 tablespoon of vinegar
2. 1 tablespoon of dish soap
3. Warm/hot water

That's it! You're ready to start!


As you can see, the water instantly starts to clean the brushes. Swish the brushes around and leave them in there for 4-5 minutes. If you have a lot of makeup brushes like me, pour out and mix up a new batch when the water gets too dirty. Makeup brushes for your face always end up making the water extra dirty!

When they've sat in there for about five minutes, take them out and rinse them with warm water. Pat them dry with paper towels or a dish towel. Lay them flat out to dry for a few hours. I went ahead and let mine dry over night.

After

So there's a cheap and cost efficient way of cleaning your makeup brushes. Hope you enjoyed this post! Until next time friends!~

Katy Perry Lashes♡


My friend gave me these lashes and I wore them for my birthday. I was super stoked to give them a try because I've seen a lot of people wear them and they always looked great!

They have a self applicator on the eyelashes already, so you don't need eyelash glue. Although I'd put some on if I wear them more than once and if I'm going out for a long time and need extra stability. These were in 'Darling' and were definitely darling! I love thick, long doll like eyelashes and these were perfect on.

Here's me wearing them!


It's funny because I even got told that I looked like Katy Perry in the first picture from a relative. I do have similar hair right now, don't I? Look how thick and nice these lashes look! Totally in love.

Gonna have to get more of these. Do you enjoy wearing false eyelashes?

How To Clean Silver Jewelry♡


Hello, everybody! I wanted to share a secret with everyone.. How to clean silver jewelry! I know you guys have some laying around, looking dull and lifeless. Let's bring those back to life so you can start wearing them again!


What You'll Need:
1. 1 cup of boiling water
2. 1 tablespoon white salt
3. 1 tablespoon baking soda
4. 1/2 cup white vinegar
5. 1 sheet of tinfoil (shiny side up)
6. pretty decent size bowl
7. polishing cloth


Directions:
After your water starts to boil, place the tinfoil shiny side up inside your bowl. Adding your salt and baking soda first. Slowly pour your vinegar in. It'll start to fizz but that's normal! Add your water and stir to make sure there's no huge pieces still in the bowl. You don't want it to scratch up your jewelry!


Place your jewelry in:
Softly spread out your jewelry along the bowl. You don't have to do anything else except sit and wait! If you want, you can flip the jewelry over to make sure both sides get exposed to the chemicals.


Polishing time:
Be careful taking them out, they still may be hot! Take your polishing cloth (I used microfiber cloth) and buff it! You should definitely start seeing results as you rub the tarnish off!

This is a cheap and effective way to clean your silver pieces. Hope you enjoy your new shiny jewelry! Until next time friends!~
