How to make your own Makeup Brush Cleaner

**Credits to Enkoremakeup (youtube) & Femalenetwork.com

Mix the following to create your own makeup brush cleaner :

1 cup purified or distilled water
1/4 cup Isopropyl Alcohol
1/2 tbsp household detergent (dishwashing liquid soap)
1/2 tbsp hair shampoo or baby shampoo
1 tbsp spray-on leave-in conditioner (spray-on liquid)

Maximize use of your makeup

According to the website, here's the lifespan of some makeup items:

1. Lipstick: one to two years
2. Foundation: one year
3. Eyeliner: six to 12 months. It can last longer but make sure the tip is sharpened and clean before you use it.
4. Eye shadow: six to 12 months
5. Mascara: three months. It easily breeds bacteria.

What's inside my makeup kit..

Every week I rotate all my makeup products para hindi sayang.. hehe
