GOLD CHOKER STYLE NECKLACE

I have recently been loving this Choker Style Necklace from Polyvore. Although styling necklaces with a hiaab isn't exactly something new but this necklace sits perfectly with my  hijab and doesn't budge at all! Another thing that i love about this necklace is that you can literally style it with any hijab you want, and it will still give off the same elegance as if you were to style it without a hijab. I would 100% recommend this necklace! Go get it!!


 *Details of the price and full necklace name are on my instagram photo*

6 EASY STEPS ON CLEANING YOUR MAKE UP BRUSHES

Keeping your brushes clean is the most important thing you can do when you're a make up user. Dirty brushes means a dirty face, and a dirty face leads to major breakouts and acne! If you haven't been cleaning your brushes, then start now!! Here's my way of cleaning my brushes and i get perfect results.


YOU WILL NEED:
- WASHING UP LIQUID
-OLIVE OIL
-BOWL/PLATE


1) STEP 1
Get the bowl/plate and mix the washing up liquid and olive oil. Then get your brush and swirl it in a circular motion to make sure it's extra clean.

STEP 2
Continuing with the circular motion, use the palm of your hand to remove all the access dirt.

STEP 4
Run the tap water on COLD (this removes the dirt quicker) and use your fingers to clean the brush.

STEP 5
After you properly cleaned your brush, you get some tissue and wrap the tissue around the tip of the brush.

STEP 6 
Finally place your brushes upside down (so all the water drips) in a cup of your choice and let it sit there overnight. You should always make sure you do not let the brushes sit upwards because this lets the water sink back into the brush and makes the hairs lose.


And you're done! New brushes, squeaky clean! 
I hope this helped you :) leave comments below and tell me what you think x
