There are a lot of products out there than are made to clean make-up brushes. More often than not they are fairly expensive, and although there are D.I.Y tutorials everywhere, I just don't trust myself to do it.

As someone who has struggled with skin problems before, I'd been told that I shouldn't use brushes to apply make up as it can spread bacteria. I still do but I have to clean them regularly and it really does help. 

I use a product from Lush (yet again!) that is easy and affordable. It's from their 'fun' range which is mouldable and has multi-purposes. They have a variety of colours and scents to choose from too. At a price of £5, you can't really complain. You get a good few washes out of each one! 

As you can see they aren't that dirty really but I like to keep mine clean. I use a small amount and then add more if I need to. All you need to do is rinse the hot water over both the brush and the soap, then rub the bristles into the mould.  The dirtier brushes always take a little longer but that is to be expected! 

Afterwards my brushes are much cleaner and just need to be left to dry! 

I'll definitely be sticking to these products for my brushes anyway! Hope this helps some of you who are stuck with too much choice.

When I realised I had; yet another, empty shampoo bottle, I just had to write a blog post on it!

It's the I Love Juicy shampoo from Lush. The first thing that drew me to it was the smell, it's so fruity and fresh. It's just a bonus that it's great for oilier hair. According to the packaging, it's makes oily hair bouncy and clean once more. 

I absolutely love it, it leaves my hair feeling soft and is great for maintaining the fresh hair feeling for longer! No more oils! 

Even better still, these huge bottles last forever! You only need a small amount for each wash, so it really is worth the money- it's around the £18 mark. If you are still a bit spectacle though, there are smaller sizes available so if you are prone to greasy hair, I'd give this a go. (So glamorous!)

Let me know if you like it or if you have any other good hair recommendations. I may be posting on some other empty products soon, so keep an eye out!
