Electric Make Up Brush Cleaner | Amazon Best Buy


So, as everyone in lockdown, I'm finding things to do when I am not working or doing housework. I purchased this back before we moved house (blog post to come on that)

When sorting out my dressing room I came across the package again and decided to give it a go. 



Now I don't know about you, I am horrendous at washing my brushes regularly. Generally choosing to buy new ones instead... bad I know - I am determined to get better at it, especially now I have this little gadget! 

I found this one back in April and there are loads to choose from, so I don't think it necessarily needs to be this one specifically as I'm pretty sure they all do a similar job.

It didn't come with makeup brush cleaner but I generally use Johnson's baby shampoo which works a treat and it super cheap, although if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

The product came with 7 adaptors, one of which with 8 sizes in and as yet I haven't come across a brush that hasn't fit one of them. What I will say is, I have been trying to ensure I use one slightly smaller so it holds it tight and doesn't fly out, covering me in dirty soapy water... which definitely didn't happen... 

Below are some before and after pictures that I remembered to take and I have to say, I didn't think there would be an issue with the cleaning aspect, but the drying I was extremely impressed with. 
The wand has two speeds, the first for cleaning and the second for drying. One thing I have been doing is taking it out of the bowl to use the drying option. (It doesn't say to do this - I just found it helped the drying process) 

                        


I am having to clean my flat brushes manually, but with it only being a couple of my massive stash, I don't mind!

I would love to know how you clean your brushes and what you use.

Much Love as always,

Miracle Tablets | Lifestyle


I have been dying my hair for about 18years now and will be the first to say that I don't take great care of my hair in between. I can go months without haircuts, get easily bored with the colour and have used more home dyes that I can count. With my wedding being next year, I realised I needed to buck my ideas up.

I have stopped using heat on my hair unless necessary (sometimes you need to dry your hair if you're like me and your washing days don't align with plans you have made!)

I am still on the look out for a decent hair mask as so far the ones I've tried haven't done much...

My hair is in the best condition it's been in ages... bearing in mind it's bleached... and I think it is all down to these tablets!

 Now, I've always been a massive skeptic when it comes to things like this, but after hearing about them from a friend after they had done wonders for her hair, I thought I'd give them a go. After all, what did I have to lose?

I ordered mine from Amazon but I'm sure you can pick them up in other places too and the ones I chose are the Solgar North Atlantic Kelp Tablets.

                                           

Apologies for the stock photo, but where I am now getting to the end of my pot, the label has peeled so much that you wouldn't be able to tell what they are! 

You get 250 tablets in a pot and take one a day. I'm not brilliant at remembering I won't lie... so I try and take them in the morning with my other pills.

Since taking these; my hair is healthier, longer and looks in such better condition.

The below picture was about 2 months before I started taking them.

   

This next picture is my hair now - I have also started bleaching my hair again as you can see, but my hair is no where near as elasticated as it has been in the past when bleaching and I can only think it is down to these miracle tablets!



I love them and tell everyone I can to get them because I truly believe they are a miracle. Have I said miracle enough times?

Now that the countdown is on for my wedding, I want my hair in the best condition possible. 

Do you have any wonders like these? I may be a true convert...

Much Love as Always,

Amazon Haul


I decided to do a little bit of shopping on Amazon over the weekend, just to get a few bits.

Now, I know I'm really old... as I've been told many times at work today once receiving my purchases!

Haul, Shopping, Amazon


First up, I ordered a Label Maker and some tape for it. It is a Dymo Junior one, and the tape I have is white on black.

I use my old Birchbox's to store a lot of my make up and never know what is in what, meaning I spent ages trying to find what I need.

So first port of call will be to label all of these.

It comes with one roll of tape within it and I also purchased three more as I knew once I started I wouldn't want to stop!

We are also moving soon so it will be handy to label boxes to know where things have to go.

Next up is a Wrapping Paper organiser... I know, I know...

I am a little bit Monica and have ribbons, bows, tissue paper the lot! I wanted somewhere to put it all along with my wrapping paper and this is perfect!

Lastly, I picked up these magnetic false lashes. Having heard both good and bad things about them I decided to pick some up to have a go.

It's my birthday party on Saturday so I will try them out then and let you know how I get on!

What have you brought recently?

Much Love,
