how to clean & dry make up brushes

I have seen many videos and blog's on this topic.. In this post I am showing it how I do it... It's almost the same as every1's method...

So lets start of in cleaning the brush

Items needed to clean the make up brush...
1. a plate (any kind)
2. anti bacterial dish washing liquid soap (using anti bacterial will kill the bacteria, if any present in the brush bristles )
3. olive oil (any kind, just like our hair the make up brushes bristles also need conditioning.. this will keep the life of the brush in good shape )
4. the dirty brush :-)) depending on size of brush we decide upon the quantity of soap & oil.. I'm cleaning my mac 129 which is a powder brush.. So I use depending on that.. It's important to use equal amounts of both soap & oil.. Now putting the soap & oil on the plate side by side & then taking the brush I mix both of them together.. I move the brush in all possible directions so that all the bristles are coated with the solution.. Now I move to my sink area.. Wet my palm & again clean the brush by just taking the brush and paint my palm kind of motion.. By doing so the brush comes in contact with just a bit of water, the solution is getting more smooth so cleans even more precise... Also massage the bristles with fingers...

Next I place my hand below the running water and again do the same method my painting my palm.. Moving the brush in all directions.. Hence all the bristles come in contact with the water and gets cleaned through out..

NOTE: Always keep the brush in downwards direction.. You don't want the water entering the handle.. Water will remove the gum which is inside the handle, the gum holds on to the bristles and prevents it to shed to much..

After the wash is complete just squeeze the bristles very lightly to remove excess water.. Now we dry the brush by placing an absorbent cloth on a flat surface and moving the brush on it... Repeat the same process by moving brush in all directions.. I test the wetness by placing in on my wrist... I can feel the dampness a bit.. Which is OK.. You have to air it for at least a full night, depending on the climate...

Items needed to dry the brush
1. a tall glass
2. two paper clips (any material)
3. rubber band take the clips and bend them like this now take the rubber band and wrap it around the brush handle like so take the clips and hook it to the rubber band as you can see I have moved the rubber band closer to the bristles... adjust the rubber band depending on brush handle & glass height.. now we place the brush in the glass make sure that the bristles don't touch the bottom of the glass leave it over night to dry and check in the morning I take the brush and just brush the back of my hand... I do not notice any shine, i feel the smoothness of the brush, I notice that its clean...
so mission to clean and dry the brush is complete.. :-))





When I 1st started to clean my brush I completely blew the proportion of soap & oil.. Due to which my Eco tool brush bristles got a bit oily..

Image before brushing my hand after brushing my hand with my Eco tool brush noticed the shine... I suggest that you try to clean your non fave, non expensive brushes 1st until you get the hang of it... :-))

review of "STAY ON EYELINER" by Street Wear

"STREET WEAR" is a registered trade mark of REVLON company..

PRODUCT INFO :
COMPANY NAME : STREET WEAR
BEAUTY RANGE : "STAY ON" Long Wear & Waterproof Eye Liner

According to the company:
This eyeliner is for long wear, it does not smudge / fade off, and is water proof...

According to me:

PROS :
Retractable design... Operate it by twisting the handle below in clock and anti clock wise.. Don't need to sharpen it... Easy to apply.. Shade is really pigmented... Easy to carry in purse...

CONS :
Applied it on my waterline and in just a few blinks the product started to fade away... Cannot apply on the eye lid, its not smooth enough hence wont be able to get a perfect application evenly.. Difficult to blend the product as its not smooth nor creamy.. In eye corner it started to smudge and clump up... God I looked awful.. Had to keep wiping it off... Its not even water proof.. All in all what every the company claimed that this product does, not even 1 came true for me...

HOW TO USE THIS :
Usage is very easy... Just remove the cap, twist for the product to come out & apply..



SWATCH :
sample test - drew 2 lines...

for the right side line, I just gave a lit rub with dry finger.. for the left side took a drop of water on my finger & gave it a light rub...
as you can see... both the lines have faded or smudged away...


PRICE : Rs. 250 /-

NET WEIGHT : 0.35g

PACKAGE :
In a slender plastic retractable pencil, with a cap.. Love the way its done...

mini haul: MAYBELLINE

Went to see harry potter with my movie friend... Ya I have an old friend of mine and we just met up to see movies in the theater...

Did a bit window shopping after the movie and then as we are girls..... How can we just go home without doing a bit shopping :-)) ...

So I got some beauty stuff from the Maybelline counter in Forum Mall, Bengaluru...

They had only plastic bags and I said NO to plastic, so they gave it to me in this Loreal paper bag...



I bought lipstick















Lip liner - colour sensational, no 750 choco pop....





The right side is just the lipstick... Left side swatch I have applied the lip liner and on top of that I have applied the lipstick...

Mascara


Then I was actually hunting for the Dream smooth mousse and Dream satin liquid foundations... Did not find them... So I settled for dream matte mousse.. I bought this from Shoppers Stop situated in Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru ...
Had same bag problem here... So I just carried it in my hand till checkout....

A small swatch on my wrist.. An they have blended out very nicely....




Hope you all like it... :-)) ...
