Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner Review

Hello Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by!

Today's post is dedicated to Cinema Secrets Professional Grade Makeup Brush Cleaner. 

I bought this product at IMATS Toronto 2015 in September when I went with April. I had heard of this product before but I don't think I'd ever seen a demo or anything. Anyways, I bought it at one of the booths for $40CAD. It was the most expensive item I bought. I tried it out a couple of days after I got home, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!! 

It's such an intense cleaner, and you need the tiniest amount per brush. I either fill the cap with the strongly vanilla scented blue liquid, or I spray some on each brush that I filled a little travel spray bottle with. 

I then rub my brush on a towel. Usually a dark coloured one so to not see the staining, but for this post's purpose, I used a white one. One of my favourite things about this product is how fast it dries. It's basically automatic. I'm not kidding. I've used it in between eyeshadow shades while getting ready going from one shadow to the cleaner to a different shadow in a matter of seconds and I've never had an issue. 

Check out this photo demo. I used my dirty bdellium tools brush for this demo. I had purposely dipped it in a dark eyeshadow to show how well the cleaner works.

See what I mean??

It's amazing stuff!! 

I'm so glad I bought this cleaner, and I just pray it lasts until the next time I go to IMATS. Unless I can find it elsewhere in between now and then. 

That's all for today!! Thanks for stopping by!!

Holy Update Batman!

WWWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW

How dare I leave for so long eh????

To be fair, I've been actually posting on my YouTube channel pretty consistently.  So if you haven't checked that out, you should go watch my latest video! https://youtu.be/ppUAXwrF3og 

So what the hell have I been up to you ask??

For starters, I got a job again. I was off work for about 5 months thanks to Target Canada leaving the country. I went back to work almost 3 months ago now. I'm actually loving it this time around. It's at a place called Fred's Farm Fresh. I worked there last summer for almost a month and was miserable because of all the hours I was working in a week. I didn't spend any time with my family and I didn't like that so I had to leave. I was offered the job back with the BEST schedule, so I couldn't refuse and I really do enjoy going to work every day now. 

Wayne and I moved. If you recall, our previous landlords sold the house we were living in for 2 years. We're in a big house now but are more miserable than before because our landlord is a piece of shit and our rent is astronomical. So we've been struggling a little. And I believe we have decided that the next time we move it will be because we have bought a house. Because paying more than the actual value of a mortgage per month to someone else and I will have nothing to show for it at the end of our tenancy is bullshit and I don't like it. 

Moving on. 

I'm still absolutely very deeply into makeup. As I said, I've been posting on my channel consistently lately. I've also been doing makeup for friends and family and such lately that I'm kind of starting the process of getting my name out there. I even have an opportunity to do makeup for models for a fashion show in Windsor this upcoming weekend. My sisters friend actually thought of me for the job. I'm nervous but excited and anxious to do it. I don't think I'm nearly qualified enough but I've already agreed so I better get my shit together before Saturday hahahha. 

On the makeup front, I have been thinking to switch this 'lifestyle' type blog to being strictly makeup oriented. Since I do my makeup pretty much every day, I think I'll be able to post some selfies with descriptions of what I use on a day to day basis or at least a few days a week. And I'll be doing more product reviews. As much as I love all things makeup, there are still plenty of things that aren't my favourite and I feel like I should start sharing my opinions on all of this. Plus it will give me more of a niche in my blogging style. 

At this point I'm just thinking in text form. I'll stop boring you now haha. 

 

I hope you stick around to learn my opinions and to see pretty pictures!! 

Thanks so much!! 

April Hangouts!!!

Hi Everybody!

This post is dedicated to hanging out with my beautiful friend, April!!

We hung out a couple weeks ago, and it had literally been a month since the last time we saw each other. This poor girl works two jobs, usually averaging 65 hours a week, so she barely has time to sleep, let alone make plans with friends. But I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon with her, and it was awesome :)

We went to a 'business' type meeting involving my sister for an hour or so, and then we went back to her house to hang out and talk and catch up and have a couple beers! 

She's so cute!

Friends help friends open beers :) 

Mmmmmm :)

Enjoying our beers on her patio!!!

What we're drinking: Desperados. Tequila flavoured beer. Made in Amsterdam. Figure that out.
#spokeswomen! It's honestly the best tasting beer I've ever EVER had!

I truly love this girl, and I can't wait to hang out with her again. When school starts and she has less on her plate, I hope to see her at least a little more often. *whispers* just a couple more weeks..... just a couple more weeks*

Be Wonderful :)
