WIN !! Pebble Grey Mirror RRP £398 & Boots Voucher worth £50!

Did you know, it has been found that British women keep their makeup up products for 6 years past its expiry date, incredible I know! 

To make women more aware of this, I was contacted by Pebble Grey, who are a bathroom mirror and cabinet specialist company. Pebble Grey are trying to make women realise that even though it can be painful to part with your favourite mascara or primer, out of date products can become a breeding ground for bacteria - not what you want to be rubbing into your face! In the image above are the products I'm chucking out after years of sitting in my make up bag!

To help solve the problem Pebble Grey and Pretty Delicate Layers will be allowing one lucky winner the chance to win a brand new and exclusive bathroom cabinet worth an astonishing £398! - but on the provision that they use this as a chance to part with their 5 year old bottle of moisturiser and crusty old lipstick - and spring clean their cosmetics!  We will also offer a £50 Boots voucher to help the lucky winner restock on all their favourites (courtesy of PebbleGrey)!

Show us your spring cleaned products & #springcleanmymakeup

Here is what I would want to wear if I was invited along. I absolutely love this two piece number from Topshop, it’s my ultimate favourite!

MAC Brush Cleanser- Review!



Hi everyone, I’ve been looking forward to doing today’s post because I really love this product, I think it’s a little gem! If you regularly read my blog you’ll know I'm more of a fashion focused blogger but I do like to add the occasional beauty or lifestyle post, it’s always nice to mix things up. I picked up this brush cleanser when I was in MAC last year, I was only after a bronzer at the time but this had caught my eye a while before and when the MAC beautician demonstrated this with the brushes she had used on me I knew I wanted to buy it and try for myself.

I think it’s really important to clean makeup brushes, I do wish I cleaned mine more often than I do but I never have the time, ideally you should clean them after every use, but realistically I’d never have time in the mornings! So I tend to do them once/twice a week using this and then clean them thoroughly every two/three weeks. 


How I use 
  • Apply to a cotton pad or tissue by just pouring over a few drops of this brush cleanser
  • Get your brush and using circular motions begin to clean off your dirty makeup- you can really see this working
  • Repeat the process with a clean piece of tissue/cotton pad until no more makeup comes off of your brush
Pros
+ This has lasted me for about 6 months and I’ve still got some left
+ Quick and easy way to clean brushes
+ You know when your brushes are clean because you won't see any more makeup on the tissue
+ Brushes dry within minutes after using this
+ Makes your brushes feel as good as new
+ Easy open cap
+ Disinfects and conditions brush fibres to make them last longer

Cons
- Have to use quite a bit of tissue/cotton pads because if you use the same piece for too long it starts to get all bitty
- With delicate brushes you can lose a few bristles

Overall
I really find this cleanser works and leaves brushes in great condition for the next use; makeup applies better once brushes are cleaned. I would definitely buy this again; it is such good value for money and last ages, I personally love it! 

Does anyone else use this product and find it amazing, quick and easy? Or have any other products like this they would recommend for brush cleaning?
