spring cleaning // make up brushes

I never think to clean my make up brushes because I just assume I'm using the same make up on them right? But when I start to think about all of the places I've set them down, bacteria on my face, sweat etc, it started to gross me out. I bought this Laura Mercier brush cleaner for $18 because I'm pretty sure this bottle will last me the rest of my life.

Step 1 // Lay out your brushes and throw away any that are too old or that you don't have a specific use for anymore

Step 2 // Take out your brushes one by one, spray on the cleaner, wipe it on a towel or tissue until you don't see anything coming off 

Step 3 // lay out to dry

Step 4 // Put back in a cute container

inspiration

I'm almost 25.. I think it's about time to have grown up girl hair. Mine is always messy or sort of wavy, sort of straight. Inspired by some of these polished, easy curled looks:

desired collection

I've been getting so exited to build up my jewelry box. I don't wear a whole lot right now, but as I get older, I want to dress more sophisticated and with that comes some wonderful jewelry. Loving how cute this vanity set is :)
