Storing your makeup brushes
For a while now, I have just been throwing my makeup brushes into a bag and hadn't realized how much damage it was causing my brushes. I thought I would share with you how I store my brushes.
The Marilyn Monroe boxes were a gift and I store my brushes in the last box. I keep my everyday makeup in the middle box and small things (cotton buds, cotton pads, swabs, etc) in the top box. I usually keep the perfume I am currently using on top so that it is convenient. On the right, you can see that I try and keep my brushes neat so that they do not lose their shape.

April Favourites
We are already one week into May and I am a bit delayed but these are my most reached for products for April. I decided to make this a monthly feature on my blog because I love reading other peoples monthly favorites posts.
Sun screen may seem to be a strange on my list of favorites but I have found that Cape Towns weather is quite confusing lately. This bottle of sunscreen is tiny. I can pop it in my bag and if I see I require something with a higher SPF, I can just use this. The Stila Tinted moisturizer, in the shade Tan, is perfect for college because it covers quite well and it dries with a matte finish. I am completely obsessed with concealer and I am currently testing the MAC Moisture Cover concealer in the shade NC 35. I absolutely love it and I have no complaints. I have mentioned before that I love Pretty by Elizabeth Arden and I found myself grabbing that bottle every morning. My MAC creme blend blush in Posey is something I use daily because my skin has been dry lightly and a cream blush helps hide that.
I have saved the best for last. My Real Techniques Stippling brush. Real Techniques is not available in South Africa but a cousin of mine ordered this online for my birthday. I know you read my blog, so thank you! I can never go back to using a normal foundation brush now.
Have you tried any of the products I mentioned about? What products have you been using a lot lately?
