WHAT SAVED MY BRUSHES!

So the last time after i washed all my makeup brushes, the bristles started falling out!! This freaked me out cause i didn't want to lose all my good brushes...so I searched on youtube for some proper brush cleaning techniques. These two videos combined worked wonders on my brushes! They came out squeaky clean, and so soft, and dried in perfect shape! They're like new again.

I don't have the brush guards so i used this DIY technique below

You should clean your brushes almost every week, not as much with eyeshadow brushes, because your eyelids don't contain as much oil and bacteria. Foundation brushes should be cleaned week, I know some people that clean them after every use; but I never have time to do that. Also what ever you use to apply powder with should be washed quite frequently, think about it,  when you use powder throughout the day it's to blot up oils so over time your brush will be so filled wiht oil and bacteria that you keep puting back onto your face....Ewwww gross right!?

Have a beautiful squeaky clean day!!!

VIDEO! zebra nails

Hello everyone it's time for the video of the week! which is really more just a video whenever I have time to post.

I just painted my finger and toenails with this and it looks fabulos!!! It's really fun to do and not to hard after you get the hang of it, I use a tiny brush to do the small lines, and it came out great!! Don't worry if it's not perfect every Zebra's stripes are different!!!

Whats in for Spring

Spring is such a happy time of the year! It's my favorite season, everything starts growing and smells so fresh especially right after spring cleaning!


But the big question is what is in fashion for spring???? well I'm no expert but i'm gonna tell everyone about some of my favs that are in right now...

1. Nude heels are kind of a staple piece and can pair up with so many things for tons of different looks.
(this is just a picture I found, but these are super cute and I kinda really want them haha)




  2. Strappy/Caged sandal or heel, you can find this style in ether flat or a heel and they seem to be really in for spring.
  















3.Heeled ankle boots, most people think that these are just for spring, but you can still pull them off for spring, try pairing them with tights (try some fun lacy ones ) and a short dress or skirt.... anytime you can extend the season to wear one of your favs GO FOR IT!
There are so many gorgeous makes of this show style I'm just in love with them!


 4. Cardigans!!! Since sometimes it's still a little chilly in the spring, stock up on these, they are great for layering, I personally really like the ruffly ones :D

5. Small floral print.











6. Lace finally lace is making a comeback, and it's a perfect to add a touch a elegance to your outfit, and add the sexiness of showing some skin without bearing it all ;)
7. ZEBRA print!! It's everywhere! and is and will always be "in" for me. 
 Have an awesome day, and if your poor like me have fun putting together amazing outfits in your head! :D
