My Lucid Intervals' Anniversary Makeup Contest (Look Fab Even on a Budget)

Ohh Surprise!!!! Nope, the giveaway is just one part of my thankful treat to my beloved readers. I know all of us do not have that luck in joining giveaways with random mode of selection so I thought of doing a makeup contest as well. Did you know that I started out in the blogosphere as a mere contestant in various makeup contest? Oh yes! I would join all the contest locally and internationally and I love showing my creativity! This is how I started. Ohhh this blog post brings me a lot of memories. I did flower makeup, disney characters and all the themes you could think of! haha So, I was talking with my very good blogger friend and asked her what will be the best theme for my contest? She told me to do the 500 pesos makeup challenge with a twist! I, however, do not want my readers to buy new products for their entries. 

For this contest, you have to create a Glamorous (Red Carpet Worthy,Miss Universe Inspired, etc.) Look with budget friendly makeup. Make sure that each product you will use will NOT be worth more than 500 pesos. Blog or do a youtube video of your look, take a picture of the products you use and try to list down their prices. The lower, the better :))  On your blog post do not forget to provide the link of this contest and my giveaway http://www.mylucidintervals.com/2013/05/my-lucid-intervals-huge-anniversary.html.

ELF Brush Shampoo Review and How I Dry My Brushes

An anti-bacterial brush cleanser for thorough cleaning in-between makeup applications. Disinfects brushes to provide a fresh and clean application every time. Washes away traces of dirt, makeup, oil and debris from your brush while conditioning the hair to provide a clean and soft application for every use.

Back when I was in lawschool, cleaning my brushes was such a breeze. I would usually do it once a week. Now, with a full time job, cleaning my brushes became a hassle and a burden. I even thought our maid how to clean my brushes. I am not very particular with the product I used to clean my brushes. Often, I use laundry bar, dishwashing fluid, shampoo or  even body wash.  I prefer using a laundry bar because it incredibly gets all the gunk and oiliness from my brushes and it removes all the stains. 

This is my very first time to use a product specifically designed to clean the brushes. The product came in a clear liquid gel form. It has a faint scent that I cannot describe accurately because I am plagued with colds. I intently read the directions and followed it. 

I have tried using it on my flat top brush. After two tries of washing it with the shampoo,can you see that it did not remove the dirt at all?

Sadly, this ELF Shampoo Brush does not work especially with brushes that have oils due to liquid  foundation or bb cream. It somehow cleansed the brushes that I used with powdered products but does not remove the stains completely. This shampoo does not suds up very well. As evident on the above picture, it did not create even the slightest soap foam. 

Just a quick tip for drying your brushes! I noticed that placing them in a standing position with the bristles pointing down on a towel makes the drying process faster than laying on the towel. It drains all the water from the brushes and even on the ferrule (the metal part) very well.

I know a lot of you will say that laundry bar is not a good brush cleaner, so please, if you have any recommendation, I would love to hear it!

Have a blessed weekends to all!
