Recipe for Homemade MakeUp Brush Cleaner

I usually wash my brushes with baby shampoo but sometimes when I'm doing my makeup. I like using the same brush for 2 different things. I wanted something that would disinfect and clean my brushes quickly. I heard about the MAC brush cleaner but I wanted something cheaper. I didn't want to go around testing different drugstore brush cleaners so I decided to search online for a recipe to make a homemade version. After googling, I found this great YouTube video with instructions on how to make it here. The result? Soft, clean brushes in an instant!


1 cup distilled water

1/4 cup alcohol (70% or 90%)

1/2 tablespoon dishwashing liquid (One that comes with moisturizing agents is even better)

1/2 tablespoon shampoo ( I use baby shampoo)

1 tablespoon leave-on conditioner

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Stir carefully to avoid making suds. Pour into an atomizer and voila! Instant brush cleaner!

Wear Red for Haiti

Show your support to all the victims in Haiti by wearing red. You can also make donations to several charities including the Red Cross and Yele Haiti. These people need all the support they can get.

Hav's Pick for Best Dressed at 2010 Golden Globes

Olivia Wilde killed it! All I can say is wow! While everyone was looking blah, Olivia Wilde turned it up in this gorgeous beaded gunmetal-grey Gucci gown.  She accesorized with a Judith Leiber clutch, Jimmy Choo shoes and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. Her makeup and hair complements the dress perfectly. I definitely disagree with E!'s Fashion Police, when they said the hair was too much. I think it was just right, a dress like this needs a fun hairdo. Wilde is also donating her dress to help out the victims of Haiti, how wonderful!

Christian Louboutin Sequin Pumps

I am a shoe freak and I fell in love with these as soon as I saw Sarah Jessica Parker rock them in the January issue of Glamour magazine. These shoes will make any boring outfit a little more interesting. They're priced at $473, a little pricey but I am going to start a fund for these shoes. That's how much I love them.

NYX Lipgloss W/ Mega Shine Review (reposted from 12/27)

Happy Holidays! This is a blog post being sent from my phone so I apologize if it's a little sloppy.

NYX lipgloss w/ Megashine in Plush Red.

So this is a review for NYX's Lipgloss w/ Mega Shine in Plush Red. It costs 2.29 and I must say I like it a lot. It looks great on all skin tones because both my best friend and I have very different skin tones and it looks nice on us both:

My best friend, Kathy.

I like that it goes on like a lipstick and the color's highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. I would reccomend this lipgloss. It comes in a variety of shades, I just reviewed this shade in red since I didn't like the other colors (there was a very limited selection).

Pros: easy to apply, long lasting, nice shine, good for all skin tones, true to color

Cons: a little sticky and kind of hard to find (NYX products are rare in the area where I live)

Thanks for reading!
