DIY Spot treatment: Aspirin Spot Treatment


I'm back !! Sorry for the lack of content lately but i was off getting married and that took up every minute of my spare time. But i'm back now and i wanted to share with you this little trick i learned while trying to keep my skin perfect during the run up to the big day. 

All you will need is:
  • 3 or 4 Aspirin
  • Small Bowl
  • Warm Water
  • Cotton Buds



Place the 3 or 4 aspirin in a small dish 


Add a small splash of warm water




The aspirin should start to dissolve. Give them a stir until it develops into a paste.
Use the cotton buds to add the pasts to the blemishes. Leave for a couple of hours or if possible over night for really big blemishes.

If you try this please let me know how you get on. I loved it and will never buy an expensive spot treatment ever again. They tend to just dry my skin out and leave me with marked skin for a few weeks. 

Do you have any secret emergency skin fixes ?

Dry n Shape: Sigma



The Sigma Dry' n Shape:  Anyone else seen or tried this ?

I don't k now about you guys but i HATE washing my make-up brushes. They take forever to dry and they are just never as good as new.
This new contraption from Sigma promises to quickly dry and shape your makeup brushes in three easy steps and in less than 6 hours.



STEP 1: Wash your brushes using a mild shampoo or brush cleanser.

STEP 2: Gently press the bristles to remove any excess water. Place the clean, damp brushes into the Dry’n Shape using the smallest band the brush will fit into. Make sure that all bristles are firmly compressed.

STEP 3: Wait 4 to 6 hours and your brushes will be completely dry and ready to use! In addition to being completely dry, the bristles will be reshaped to their original form.  Your brushes will be perfect for your makeup application!
