DIY Makeup Brush Cleaner

For the most part I use my makeup brushes every single day to apply my bareMinerals makeup to my face!  I do have to say bareMinerals brushes are NOT my favorite brushes because the hairs tend to fall out ALL the time as I'm applying and I don't enjoy having to brush my clothing off every time I apply makeup.

Recently I have starting doing makeup for photographers and some clients here and there in the salon and needed a cheap and easy way to clean my brushes I use on myself and my brushes for my clients.

Lots of bacteria and skin cells can harbor in those brushes and need to be cleaned at least once a month if not every couple weeks!

This recipe seems to do the trick and leaves your brushes, clean, soft and smelling wonderful depending on the flavor of soap used!

Here is what you will need:
1 Tbs white vinegar
1 Tbs dish soap of choice
2 C water (second cup for final rinse of brushes)


Mix together vinegar, soap and 1 cup of water in bowl and use solution to soak brushes for a couple minutes. Finger through bristles a bit, not too rough, but enough to help get remaining makeup out.  Once fished dump cleaner in sink and use 1 cup of clean water to do the same. Take brushes out and part dry with towel. Reshape and lay flat to dry for a good 24 hours.


Enjoy your clean bacteria free brushes! 

Glamour Makeovers

Last weekend I had the opportunity to be apart of a glamour photo shoot!  I definitely was not 
the one modeling, but was able to do the hair and makeup for these beautiful young models!  These girls are not only beautiful on the inside, but gorgeous on the outside and sometimes as women, and young girls we sometimes don't realize how our differences are what make us individually beautiful!  I hope you enjoy these couple pictures I have, I think they are just stunning!  Thanks Lily and Jenny for making this happen for @whitneyhuntphotography and myself!  If anyone reading this would like hair or makeup done for any reason let me know, I'd love to make anyone feel more beautiful!

BedHead Hair Wand

I decided to try out this new BedHead hair wand by Tigi today! Pretty impressed, though it takes a bit of extra time to wrap your hair! My favorite was the glove... It definitely came in handy considering I struggle doing my own hair sometimes!  Have you use this brand or something similar???? What do you like, or dislike about your wand?

What makes you different makes you Beautiful

I have been thinking lately my job as a hairdresser is to make EVERY single person that sits in my chair feel beautiful by the time they walk out of my salon!!!! That is a BIG task and let me tell you…every day I try my hardest to do so!
 I know we all have days where we don’t feel like we have it all together and we end up comparing ourselves to others around us. We tend to find reasons to put ourselves or others down because of these differences.  I know thoughts cross our minds that we don’t look a certain way or we may not have the perfect body with the most gorgeous hair, but all of these “different” things about each of us are what make us all unique and beautiful in our own ways. It is okay to be different.
I hope that we will all come to realize this. Different is good! I wish we all can make the best of what we have been blessed with and be comfortable in our own skin. People recognize confidence, and I tend to think confidence is beauty. I hope we can all realize we don’t have to look like everyone else, or do the same things to make us feel a part, or in style. Our differences are enough and make each of us beautiful!
