How Often do I Clean my Brushes?
This is just a quick little post to talk to all of my Lovelies about cleaning your cosmetic brushes!
Okay! So over the past few weeks/months I have been experimenting to see how long I could go before I felt like I needed to clean my brushes. (Now I know the time for me could be different for you, but I am going on the basis of using the same foundation and concealer brush every day - seven days a week.) The brushes I use are the EcoTools ones and they are pretty great, though if you are after an airbrushed look then I suggest looking at another brand.
There, just a little review for you to get you started! :)
I have found that cleaning my brushes every 5-7 days works pretty well for me, though I will admit that by the end of the time period my brushes have become a little stiffer and courser to work with but overall they are still useable. I guess this means that I can either wash them on a Friday so they are all nice and lovely for the weekend or I can wash them on a Sunday night and have them fresh and ready for Monday morning.
FYI I do use an all natural liquid hand soap to wash my brushes in because it is soft on the bristles but also cleans them really well. If you would like me to tell you more about my brush cleaning methods let me know, either on here, Instagram or Ask.fm. All of which have links all over this blog.

Revlon Nail Enamel Top Speed - Metallic (860) REVIEW!!
Okay my lovelies!
I was at the Myer Stocktake Sale when I stumbled across this beautiful silver glittery nail enamel. Just because it was on sale I bought it (bad Georgie, BAAAAAAAD!!). Anyway! I will point out that I honestly did think it was going to be one of those glittery enamels where you have to apply 4 or 5 coats before the whole nail is covered and looking good, but to my surprise this isn't one of them.
I won't lie, I have been in love with most Revlon Top Speed nail enamels these past few months, but I was just wary about working with a full glitter polish.

PRICE: $15.99 (on sale from Myer $7.99)
RATE: 8/10
COMMENT: I think I will be using this enamel quite a lot during winter as well as in summer because it is so pretty and reminds me of a disco just because it is so shimmery and bright.

Info on May Duds
This month I won't be doing a May duds because I don't have any products that I am not loving! WOO HOO!
May Favourites!
Hey lovelies!
It's about time I did a May favourites and this time I have some amazing products to show you gals and guys! This month I have decided I would do a Food and Music favourites! This is just a tester to see how well it goes, if you guys don't like it let me know!
Each item has Australian prices and the store in which I purchased them from.
Makeup:
- EcoTools Flat Foundation Brush - Priceline ($10.99)
In all honesty I have had this brush for about a year and a half but I never really used it because I was really into sponges at the time. But now that I have less time to get ready in the morning I have been really loving my Flat Foundation Brush. The bristles in this brush are so smooth and soft against my skin (for synthetic bristles these babies are so amazing and smooth), not to mention there is absolutely NO shedding! I use this brush six out of seven days a week and I regularly clean my brushes so I feel like I kinda know what synthetic brushes are good and what are a bit dodgy.
Whenever I feel like this brush has gone to makeup brush heaven I will be repurchasing this amazing brush!

- Yes to Carrots Hydrating Shower Gel 500mL - Priceline ($12.99)
Okay so I have kinda sensitive skin (especially my legs!) and its probably due to the fact that I have been shaving my legs for aggggges! Anyway I am pleased to say that I have found my new favourite shaving gel! Now I know this is a shower gel and NOT a shaving gel BUUUUUT it is seriously the most perfect shaving gel! (I am saying this as someone that cannot even use Organic shaving gels because they cause me to get a massive rash that hurts so badly!)
You would think this gel would smell like carrots, but it doesn't have a carrot-y smell or anything even remotely carrot related. Personally I really do like this shower gel because I can use it as both a shower gel and a shaving gel. The consistency of this gel is thick but not too thick, its just the right consistency for a shaving gel.
I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out, it is so perfect and until my skin gets used to it and starts rashing up again it is the perfect shaving gel.
- Yes to Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes - Priceline ($9.99)
So I have been using a liquid makeup remover for a few years but recently I ran out of my usual one and to my sadness Priceline didn't have any in stock! I thought I would mix it up a bit and try some towelettes just until they got more liquid back in stock. But now all I can do is thank them for making me try something new! These towelettes are so beautiful! They smell so good! It's almost like you could just take a bite right out of them! They just smell so fresh!
Yes to Cucumbers Hypoallergenic Facial Towelettes comes in a pack of 30, but in all honesty you only need one wipe to do your whole face and remove all of your makeup! These little babies are also excellent when you just want to re-fresh your face (like when you come out of the gym and have been sweating up a storm, just wipe your face with one of these and let it air dry! It will result in your skin feeling fresh and clean.)
Food:
So I have been a little bit sick in May and as a result have been through quite a few different brands of cough lollies/lozenges!
- Strepsils Cool (instant cooling sensation with double antibacterial action) - $
Right now I am in love with the Strepsils Cool lozenges! Not only do they taste okay (kinda like tea tree oil but not as strong) they also work! I won't lie and say they totally work and cure your sore throat, but they do a pretty decent job and keep it calm for a few hours.

A beautiful song by a beautiful boy. It really does make you realise how precious life is and to not let something so big and scary as cancer be the reason you only just start living.Thank you Zach, this song is very inspiring and beautiful. I do honestly hope you fly a little higher.
