Brushing Up With… Brush Cleaners!

She’s BBAAACCKK! Yes, in-house beauty junkie, Beautylishus is back with two reviews on two different brush cleaners; Essence of Beauty Brush Cleaner and ELF Brush Cleaner. Keep reading to see her opinions!

Essence of Beauty Brush Cleanser: I’m a Essence of Beauty product fan so when I saw their brush cleaner on the wall I just had to try it! However, I was a tad bit apprehensive because the price was $10.00 for a drugstore brand, but I just sucked up my frugality and went ahead and bought it. When it was time to actually test the product I had hopes that it would be a good quick clean process but I was mistaken. The cleaner did clean the brush, but it wasn’t as fast drying as I would have hoped. The brush smell isn’t very pretty. Somewhat on the strong side. Think of a mixture between a flowery perfume and bleach and that’s what the smell is similar too. The thing that I really did like about this product is how there was no trace of makeup left in the brush. It completely clean and cleared out my eyeshadow brush fully pigmented with mac’s chrome yellow shadow! This product is a pretty okay product to just have, but if I were to skip it during checkout, I most definitely would.

ELF Brush Cleaner: When I received this product in the mail, I didn’t think too much of it because its made by the budget $1 cosmetic company ELF. after realizing that it was apart of their “pro” line, I became reeeeeeally excited  because their black label “pro” items have yet to fail me. This cleanser is a must have because it not only smells good but by the time you are finished cleaning (by brushing the bristles back and forth across a dry fabric) it dry and ready to be used. It also left no trace of color. It’s quick drying,good smelling inexpensive product! This officially stays in my kit. You should have it in your stash also!

How To Wear A Maxi

https://www.katebridal.co.nz/collections/long-bridesmaid-dresses-nz

The maxi dress is back and hopefully here to stay! It is defiantly a must have in your wardrobe, not only for summer but for glamourous nights out and even weddings!.  The dress is available in several different styles and sizes. All women can pull off a maxi dress, you just need to know how to wear it. Here are some tips on how to wear your maxi dress.
Perhaps when we imagine the classic maxi dress we picture a floral or batik pattern dress from the seventies connected to the hippie movement. Well, the dress has developed since. If your maxi dress is of that similar seventies fabric, accessorise with big jewellery and lots of it! Wooden necklaces and bracelets, large earrings and hair bands or headscarves go well with a maxi dress. Wear a pair of flat sandals to add to that laid back look.
There is a variety of different styles of maxi dresses. Choose one with big floral or other colourful patterns for the beach, it will turn many heads. If you are buying your first ever maxi dress and feeling a bit insecure, buy a one colour design in, for instance, black or purple. You will be able to wear this in everyday use, dinners out and nights out, shifting between flats and heels, and jewellery. Heads up girls, be careful when wearing a maxi dress on a night out on the town, so you do not trip when dancing!
Do not avoid these beautiful dresses if you do not classify as a six foot tall model, they come different lengths and sizes. Nicole Ritchie and Eva Longoria are two maxi dress queens who do not let their height stop them.
The online department store, very.co.uk offers a large selection of formal dresses in different styles. They also sell different brands of shoes and fashionable jewellery which you can use to accessorize with.
