SLEEK LIFE'S A PEACH blush.. It's really cute and since it's so small like it's only 8g it's like half of my palm only! 

So last night I was cleaning my brushes. And let me just share with you how I thoroughly clean my brushes.. Ofcourse there's no right or wrong when it comes to brush cleaning. Everyone have different styles of brush cleaning. I just wanna share mine. 

I start off by getting a clean plate or plastic container, whichever is available, then I would pour in EVOO and I am using an organic one & about 2 squirts of Anti-bacterial soap. I don't really measure, I like to estimate.. Oh well... 

Misture of Organic EVOO & Anti-bacterial soap

a sample of my very dirty foundation brush... eowwww..

dip the brush onto the mixture and then on your palm start sweeping the brush in a circular motion. This is applicable to all the brushes.. 

sparkling clean!

To keep your brush's shape, I use this BRUSH GUARD which I purchased from COASTALSCENTS.COM 

As you can see it has holes in it so the brushes can breathe too. Air circulation is very important. And it's stretchable! 

Kabuki will retain it's firmness in shape and yet it's soft to use!!

Safe and sound.. Brushes from MAC from their TARTAN COLLECTION.

lastly, let the brushes air dry. Place them in a container standing so the water would not go to the brush's ferrule. 

After the first oil & soap cleansing, I would do a second one but this time using a gentle soap this is just to take out the oil on the brushes. We don't want oily brushes now do we?? Haha.. Same, on the palm do a circular motion sweeping of the brushes and then rinse with water.

Take a clean cloth or a kitchen napkin and blot those excess water.. And then using my brush guard, shape and slip the brush in. Dry, bristle down in a cup.

The Brush Guard is a new way to protect the vulnerable bristles of your powder brushes. It is a stretchable, breathable tube which slides over a brush handle onto the bristles. Select the size that fits snugly over your brush's ferrule (the metal part) and will not slide back nor crush the bristles. Get yours now at www.coastalscents.com.

Have a great Sunday Candies!!

Much Love,
