Keeping Mold-free Brushes

Sasha Manuel — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:32:58 +0000

If you grew up thinking that putting makeup is just a simple process of grabbing a brush and putting on colour on your face then you’ve got to read this post about keeping brushes mold-free. Yes. Mold.

One of the things you really need to know about this whole beauty thing is that a whole part of it is skincare. Makeup is simply to enhance and/or create a look, different or otherwise. And brushes you use to apply the makeup needs to be clean since these touch the area that is most sensitive (and not to mention most taken care of), the skin on your face.

Phoebe Ramos of Swipe Some Gloss has shared ways on how she keeps her brushes mold-free. She shared three methods, you get to choose which one is most appropriate to your needs.

Method #1: Use Cinema Secrets brush cleaner.

Method #2: Use undiluted 70% isopropyl alcohol.

Method #3: Shampoo, rinse, disinfect, and drain very well.

Method #3 has photos to illustrate how the process goes. I recommend a look, so, you’d learn how to take better care of your brushes.

DIY Beauty: Facial Masks

Sasha Manuel — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 20:03:59 +0000

Good news to ladies who either are thrifty or too busy to go and make appointments for facials, I’ve come across a DIY Beauty idea that offers quick and easy steps in achieving that firmer, fresher and smoother skin and not to mention, can help reduce wrinkles! Two great things about this idea are that the ingredients can be easily found in your kitchen and that you can be sure that they’re all natural, too.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon fresh milk,
4-5 drops olive oil,
Flour (just to make the mixture thicker, easier to apply)

Instructions:

Mix all ingredients well.
Apply evenly on face.
Let it dry.
Rinse off thoroughly.

I recommend using a toner afterwards and a night cream before going to bed to maximise the experience.

You only need a facial once (twice at the most) per month. Imagine doing it at your most convenient time. Cool, yeah?
