Makeup Brush Cleansing

Hello, my loves! Today I wanted to post a trick I've learned about cleaning makeup brushes. I know there are a ton of brush cleansers out there, but this is more of a DIY deep cleanse for your brushes that I do weekly! Keeping your makeup brushes/sponges clean attributes greatly to your skin's overall health. I've begun double cleansing my brushes, just as you would double cleanse your face: First, you cleanse with an oil {I use hemp oil} and you then follow with any cleanser {I use organic baby shampoo, but I've had to use my Aleavia prebiotic cleanser as of late since I haven't gotten around to buying the baby shampoo!}

Date Night Makeup Idea

Hello, loves! Today I uploaded a tutorial of this look on YouTube, and I'll share that below for anyone who would like to watch {subscribe to my channel please!}. I wanted to share this look for those of you who enjoy reading about them more than watching a tutorial! My prep steps have changed a bit, I no longer use the Foreo Luna Mini. In fact, I returned it because after a few weeks of use, my skin seemed to have some type of reaction, to the silicone I'm guessing. So, back to old fashioned cleansing for me!

Program: 6 samples for $25 {+ free shipping, but samples are sized rather small in my opinion}

Popular brands offered: Kjaer Weis, Tata Harper, Ilia Beauty, Alima Pure, RMS Beauty, Vapour Organic Beauty {see previous blog for brand review}, & W3LL People just to name a few! Their product selection is incredible.

Aurora Beauty: Sample Reviews

So yours truly has recently been going a little overboard on ordering samples {it happens}, but I wanted to take the time to review each item in detail from two of my top online green beauty boutiques: Spirit Beauty Lounge, and Aurora Beauty. Both of these green beauty sites offer great sample programs, with some incredible non-toxic brands across the board! Today, I have reviews of samples I purchased from Aurora Beauty, and can I go ahead and say I was super impressed with the company's personal thank you note? AND they included a surprise coupon code for my next order!

All brands sold by this online boutique use "only organic, natural, ethically wild-crafted, fair-trade, and cruelty-free ingredients" & their products "are packaged in biodegradable, recyclable and eco-friendly packaging." You can shop worry free with this lovely company! Not to mention their sample program is very affordable -
