Brush care

What's up guys ?
Today I was really struggling to come up with ideas for a new post, as I was thinking about this I looked over at my dirty brushes and realised that they needed a clean. so I thought I would talk you through my personal brush care routine and why you need to wash your brushes on a regular basis.

Why do I need to wash my brushes ? 

when your applying your makeup your brushes pick up dirt and germs from your skin and face. Then when you are putting your brushes back on your skin they are putting the germs back onto your face ( one of the reasons you get clogged pores and spots ! Eww !) I know this fact sounds disgusting but unfortunately it's extremely true. That's why you need to wash your brushes regularly. 


How regularly should I wash them?

Well it depends on how they look and by this I mean if they are CAKED in makeup then they definitely need a wash but if you think they are all right you can leave them for a bit. I usually wash my brushes at least every week to  2 weeks as I don't wear makeup that much. if you are a person who would wear makeup every day then I would definitely stick to a routine of washing your brushes every week. I know that one of my friends washes her brushes every Sunday, which I personally think it's a good idea to get into a habit.


How do I wash them? 

To wash my brushes I use my sink and all I do is just put them all in lukewarm water with normal hand soap and leave them to soak for about 2 minutes. After that I then pick each brush  and individually massage soap through their bristles as it gets any leftover makeup out and makes them look so much cleaner then all I do is ring out any excess water and leave them on the radiator to dry overnight. Usually this takes about 12 hours for them to properly dry out.


 I hope you enjoyed that little q and a on how to wash your brushes if you would like any more information on anything said in this post please leave a comment below. Remember to check out my Instagram ( @b1tsandbeautyy ) where I post reviews and beauty related posts. Also makeupwithmolly and I are having a giveaway when our instagrams reach 500 followers if you would like to check that out.

Lots of love and hugs

Makeup Collection - Rimmel London ( collab with Makeupwithmolly )

What's up Guys, 

So this is my First Blog Collab with Makeupwithmolly ( hopefully their will be many more to come) and we have decided to show you guys some of our collections !! So without further ado here is my Rimmel London makeup collection <3



So as you can see this is my favourite brand ever and especially for base makeup ! My life goals is to own every single piece of Rimmel London's collection lol ! 

1st - wake me up foundation ( £8.99 from UK drugstores) this is my absolute favourite foundation ever. it has really good coverage ( as I find with every foundation from Rimmel London) the anti fatigue works very well and I wear it for school as it makes my skin look good ! I have school photos on Monday so this is a must for Monday ;) 

2nd - Stay Matte Powder ( £4.99 from UK drugstores) I have this quite light but I think most powders are light. I like this powder but don't wear it in the summer with foundations as it feels like to much to wear. again it's really long lasting and good coverage.

3rd- apocalips lip lacquer ( £5.99 from UK drugstores) this is so pigmented but I don't really enjoy lip lacquers as I didn't relalise when I was buying it but it's very dry and not very long lasting. 

4th and 5th - soft Kohl eye liner (£3.99 from UK drugstores) I have it in grey and green and I personally wear grey more as it goes with more outfits and looks ! But they are very good .

6th - Match Perfection Foundation ( £6.99 from UK drugstores) this is a really nice foundation as well it more liquids so it's easier to apply and looks more natural than the wake me up foundation. I really love the coverage and the way it's long lasting. 

7th- Matte BB Cream ( £7.99 from UK drugstores) i wore this more when i was first discovering makeup as it a moisturiser and foundation so it's not as heavy as foundation ! I do really like this product though .

8th - sun shimmer bronzer ( £5.99 from UK drugstores) again I really enjoy this bronzer but compared to my NYC I find this bronzer quite shimmery and shiny. I used this a lot in the summer as it looks quite nice in pictures ;) 

9th - wake me up concealer ( £5.99 from UK drugstores) this is a really good concealer with anti fatigue and vitamin C. I always buy them a shade lighter so it brightens up it under my eyes to make my skin look brighter. 

Thank you very much for reading this remember to check out the rest of the collab Makeupwithmolly's makeup collection :: http://makeupwithmolly.blogspot.co.uk

Who am I ?

whats up guys,
So you are all probably wondering who I am so I thought in this blog I would explain who I am and why I set upmy blog !
So firstly my name is Sarah and I am from the United Kingdom I am still in school and really enjoying it ! I have been watching youtube for about 2-3 years now and reading bloggers blogs and it's something that makes me excited and happy when I think about it. That's why I am here ;)
The reason I am doing a blog is because  it's my passion but also I want you guys to feel what I feel when I read people blogs or watch their videos.

Today was actually quite a nervous day for me as I had just set up my Instagram account and I wanted to tell my friends so I did and to them I probably came across funny and confident but inside I was like omg they are going to think I am so weird or a loser ! But they all reacted well and I was so pleased and it really boosted my confidence levels so that's why I set up my blog today as well because now I feel more confident with expressing myself and doing what I want to do !!

Alrighty I'm going to wrap it all up by saying. Thank you very much for reading my previous post I really appreciate it and I hope you enjoy my blog as much as I will enjoy writing it
Big hugs
Sarah aka B1tsandbeautyy xx
