Wet n Wild Where's the Party Holiday 2012

UPDATE 11/30/12:
I figured out how to share photos through flickr, very time consuming I must say, still going to see if I really did reach my photo limit.

Shimmer the Night Away

Drinking a Glass of Shine (all matte)

And the long sought after Sparkle til Morning

I did it!  I got my hands on the elusive Sparkle til Morning palette from Wet n Wild.  I had gotten Shimmer the Night Away earlier and didn't need to buy Drinking a Glass of Shine because I already own I Heart Matte.

Here are the swatches!

womp womp.....

Oh no, apparently I have reached my limit on photos.  Until blogger fixes this issue because I'm pretty sure I didn't reach my limit yet, I will link to my YT videos, which I normally don't do.  Please check out this recent video for swatches.

How to get your white haired makeup brushes white again

In this post I will show you how to get your brushes from looking like this

to this:



I find white haired makeup brushes are probably one of the hardest things to get clean and look like how they did when you first got them.

All you need is some type of shampoo and olive oil.

This is the process in picture form:

This isn't a quick process because liquid foundation really gets into the brushes and since this was the first time really cleaning them out the right way I found I had to repeat the process quite a few times.  But it was well worth the effort.

Here is another set I cleaned the same way:

The only problem I ran into is when I go to use the makeup brushes, some of the brushes can be a little oily.  You can fix that by dipping your brush into powder and that soaks up the oil.

I found this solution by researching on the internet and this seemed to be the consensus on how to get the brushes to their original white and this is proof it works.

How to make your furry rug back to normal after washing

I had to wash  my furry rug from Ikea because it got dirty and a washcloth was not going to cut it.  I did not expect it to come out the way it did.

So I started to comb it out with a brush.

It was a long process and I needed to get the fur out of my brush pretty often.

This is the finished result and it's almost as good as new.

Update

I have neglected this blog and my YouTube for the past few weeks and I apologize for that.  I haven't been inspired to make posts and videos.  Some of you might know that I live in NY and Hurricane Sandy hit the NY/NJ area like nothing I've ever seen before.  I was very lucky and my family and friends are safe.  But many families have lost their homes and that's so mind boggling to me because this area has been my home since I was 6.  There is a lot of devastation but NY (also NJ and CT) will rebuild again.

Please donate anything you can whether it be money, clothes, toiletries, services, etc.
