Bath Time for My Babies!

 Supposedly, you need to clean your brushes once a week, please let me know if I'm not the only one who doesn't get excited to clean their brushes, at all! I am way too lazy and busy to do it weekly, so instead, I do them once in two weeks! If you are one of those people who has full make up on every single day, then I recommend you to do this ritual weekly, but if you're like me, who still hangs on with light coverage and basic make up, I'm pretty sure we'll get by just alright with washing our brushes once in two/three weeks! 

Anyways, I'm here to give some tips on how you shall bathe your babies!

1. Get your self a small bowl filled with warm water. Make sure the water isn't too hot as it may harm your baby. I personally use my Body Shop's Shower Gel to wash my brush as it leaves them really soft and fresh afterwards. I have heard that baby shampoos and a few Dove products are also good choices to clean your brush with! 
2. Pour just enough amount of gel into your water, you'll know whether it's enough or not once you stir them together in step 3.
3. Get the soap and water to mix and see whether they're slimy enough on your fingers. (You don't want the full on guey and thick potion, they should be just enough to make your fingers slimy)
4. Sway the head of your brush in circular motion but do not let the water touch the aluminum part of your brush for it's common knowledge to know what happens to wet aluminum after a while. 
5. One thing that people usually do when they're done with their brushes is to let them stand and dry. This is actually very damaging, because the water that sits on the brush's head would later drip down to the roots and mess with the glue that holds everything together. You then wouldn't be able to keep your brush for a long time. So instead, get a towel and rinse all the brushes. 
6. Let your babies lay naked out there until the wind dries them naturally. (;

SO, to wrap up, never let the water drip on the aluminum part of your brush and roots, rinse and let them dry naturally and do this at least once in 2-3 weeks! This is the Real Techniques - Samantha Chapman Core Collection Brush by the way. Since I'm currently traveling, I find it easy to just bring this, because almost everything is included in this collection! I love it! Better reviews on them later, maybe! For now, I hope you're happy I've shared how I clean my brushes! Let me know if there's more tips on how to do them!

Pretty City & Finnish Junk Food

A few days. ONLY four more days left here. I don't know how I feel about this at the moment. All I know is that there's only so much this small city has got to offer, and I have just so little time to try getting all of them ticked. The weather has changed somehow drastically in these past few days. The wind blows a lot harder, everything is a lot colder, the sun sets earlier and takes longer to rise. There are days that I really don't want to go out unless I have to. There's no excuses when we've got this little time though! We went out pretty late as I went to bed really really late the previous night (technically earlier morning) but we did get to go to a few places though! I tried the famous Hesburger and got chicken nuggets, which was lovely.

How's your week been? 

Mine's been a little heart-breaking, fully exhausting, nerve-wracking and packed.

I've been very moody for some reason, sometimes I'm all "YES! Living life at the moment! I'm so excited! Yes!" but then again there are a lot of moments this week that made me just want to bawl my eyes out. I guess it's because I've always been that girl who stays inside her comfort zone in terms of traveling and all that, once I'm settled, it's really hard for me to leave it. BUT I NEED TO. So I'll try as hard as I can to be positive. That's be my resolution for the upcoming month. (:

How's your week been?

More Nail Polish! (Rimmel's I ♥ Lasting Finish)

So, I've been very disrespectful to my wallet and accidentally got a few more things that I probably don't need. I actually need to consider going to those shoppaholic meetings. Huff.

Anyways, RIMMEL'S I LOVE LASTING FINISH was on sale 2 for 3, so I got these pretty colors. In terms of colours, I actually thought that the two colours seemed similar at first, but they only had these three colours so I just took em all. They are actually quite different when you put them on, no. 026-Hot Chick is a lot pinker and darker, while no. 271-High Energy is more like orangey-pinkish color, very fresh. No. 046-Shout Out Loud is a dark green polish that I've never had before. I actually had this green one on for a week and it matches my boring everyday autumn clothes.I personally wouldn't call this "Lasting Finish" if I were Rimmel. The green one that I had on chipped after only a few good days. Its lasting power is nothing close to the previous Rimmel Polish that I had purchased. I guess that's kinda why they're a lot cheaper. If you put base coat and topcoat maybe they would last a bit longer though! 

 I had on the High Energy one today and I couldn't bare erasing it, so I asked my friend, (the lovely) Tanya to model them for the swatch below. (Thanks Tanya!)

If you ever tried Rimmel's nail polish, do let me know which one you think is best out of all their nail products!
