Clean Makeup Brushes–Quick & Easy

Hi Girls, admit it … we all have been lazy to clean our makeup brushes according to the recommended routine … yes yes we all are busy in our routines and cleaning brushes becomes a hassle as you have to wait for your brushes to get dry and that means you wont be able to use them until then.

You either have to buy expensive makeup brush cleaners to do the job or you can make your own diy  brush cleaner which I will share in another post for the more elaborate cleaners  : ) but here I am going to share a quick and easy way to clean your makeup brushes and guess what, the brushes don’t take any longer to dry as well.

This simple trick uses only one item; a simple hand sanitizer. You just have to put a drop on the brush you want to clean, and start rubbing the brush on a clean paper towel or a cloth towel. Keep doing it until your  brush rubs clean. This usually doesn’t take any more than two drops. Since hand sanitizer has rubbing alcohol in it which evaporates quickly your brush is dry earlier. Also due to the antibacterial nature of almost all the hand sanitizers, your brushes are automatically cleaned from all the germs and dirt.

My video here shows this whole process. Do check it out and share if you like it. Watch in HD for the best results.

DIY - Makeup Stuff holder

I love DIY projects and reusing stuff which normally people throw away.
Recently I came across an idea and simply loved it. I practically implemented it and want it to share with all of you. The best thing is that it makes use of the item that we throw away ... Yes ... Tissue Paper Rolls. People hardly save these and throw these away as soon as a new tissue roll is required. But hello, you can use these rolls for a number of DIY projects; so you better start saving them up. Let me tell you what you might need for this project:

1. Tissue Paper Rolls. As many as you want
2. A cardboard tray - I used a shoe box cover (recycling here too)
3. Wrapping Paper - Any print that you like
4. Glue/tape
5. Scissors

• The first step is to cut the wrapping sheet in equal sizes to cover the tissue paper rolls completely and then glue the wrapping sheet to the individual rolls. You can use different prints for the wrapping sheets but I used the same sheet on all of the rolls
• After that you can wrap the tray/shoe box cover with the printed sheet as well. I did not cover mine as it was already a very good print so I didnt feel like covering it.
• After this I glued the tissue rolls on the shoe box cover and placed them in a regular pattern.
• Let it dry overnight and TA-DA !!! you have your very own makeup stuff tray with holders the next morning.

I am in love with this creation and I have many more ideas to use these cardboard rolls in. Will be sharing with you !!
