Wash Those Make Up Brushes

Okay, I got to admit it, I'm kinda lazy when it comes to washing my brushes!! Whee.... oh my, what an admittance.  Okay, okay. So today, being the gungho me, I washed my car and also I washed my brushes! They are like next to me right now (with my powder brush looking so cacated ok)

Since they've taken their bath, they are pretty spretty clean now.. woo hoo! I know, I have very little brush right?? I'm like eyeing a couple now from Etude House and The Face Shop since there's sale!! Whee!! Alright, alright.  What I really want to share with you is the stuff that I use to wash my brushes.  What do you use?  Do share with me yea.  As for me, I saw this cute and dandy find at Daiso (they've got such great collections! dontcha agree??)

Used my mobile to take it, I know the picture's not to clear, but hope it's good enough for ya.  Initially, I thought what it was, since it was placed near those puff and stuff.  I mean, I was like thinking, why is there a detergent placed so near the make up stuff? Blurz...Having a closer look shows that it's actually for puff and sponge!  Since I use sponge for my compact powder, I thought it would be a good buy.  Hey, come on, for RM5, of course I'd grab it for sure!  Anyhow, I figured, since it works for puff and sponge, it should work for brushes right?  And viola, it totally removes those make up stuff from the brush! I got quite a shock too!! I tend to use dark colours to line my eyes, sometimes eye liner gel, sometimes dark coloured eye shadows.  So those yucky stuff actually got off onto my hand!  Ew... but after that, my brushes feels so soft too!  I have this foundation brush from Elianto which I bought previously and I thought, hey it would be good to wash it as well... and there's like heaps of gatherings of the foundations that got off my brush onto my hands whilst I washed it.  Just to make sure it's clean, I wash my foundation brush twice!!! Phew... now I'm not scared that it's dirty dee.

Anyhow, I've read that it's advisable to wash the brushes like once a week.  But since I don't use make up everyday, I figure every 2 weeks would be fine for me.  Let's hope I don't get too lazy!!!

Oh by the way, I have a lot of hauls recently! I think my shopping ants are biting me, I'm once again itchy!!! With the sales, I'm eyeing some stuff from The Face Shop, Etude House and Ianti!!! Will share with everyone once I do get them.. yippeee

Breakouts!

Oh my gosh! I'm actually having very bad breakouts on my face! I really want to cry dee.  It doesn't seem to be dissipating!! It's been like this since before CNY and now it's lasting till today.  A few days ago, I thought it was getting better, but looks like I'm cheated by my own skin coz there are fresh ones poking out today! I'm super duper sad! Time for me to find out about pimple/acne products to use on my face....ergh! hate this!

Sale Again!

It was just weeks before that Etude House's sale has ended, and now it's back on! It's even greater than the earlier sale.  A lot of their BB items and make up stuff are on 50% off.  I consider them quite good deal since their stuff aren't that expensive in the first place (ranges below RM50).

What's more, a few walks away, I find that TheFaceShop is also having sales.  I think the bargains are quite good deal if it's something you don't want to miss out.



What interests me are the masks available.  In both shops, their masks are selling less than RM10 with 20%!! Oh my gosh.... I saw a variety of masks.  What's interesting is that TheFaceShop has a number of masks that is of herbal origins.  Meaning, instead of mixing it yourself, you can apply a mask with herbal proportion in it for the nourishment of your skin.  I think that's quite cool!  With the price sitting at RM9.90 prior discount, and at RM7.90 after discount, it's definitely a good grab!  I saw this Mung Bean mask at TheFaceShop! I read that Mung Bean helps with those who have breakouts.  Mom told me that it has "cooling" effect, thus I won't be surprised if it does.  It's uber cheap ok!! RM6.90 prior discount, and RM5.50, it's a definite grab for me!! Sigh, my poor face suffered a bout of breakouts recently after so many years... totally at lost with it.  So now, hopefully things will go back to normal with all the masks and stuff I'm plying on my skin to ensure the breakout disappear.

I think the sale will continue to "spread".  I'm actually waiting to see if Nature Republic will have a sale!  Shall keep ya all updated... keke... meanwhile check out those shops ya!
