You may remember my recent post last week about using Dove soap and a gentle wash cloth to wash off your makeup.  Well this week’s tip is something just as simple yet I think it is another great tip…

Use Dove soap to wash your makeup brushes.

You don’t always need to spend a ton of money on fancy brush cleansers.  While I do have several brush cleaners that I enjoy using For years I have been simply using Dove soap to wash my brushes.  It is very effective at removing makeup and cleaning my brushes without ruining the brushes.

I keep my Dove soap for my face and the Dove soap for my brushes separate, I store both of them in a plastic travel container.  It helps to keep the soap clean and fresh, while preventing it from drying out.  While I enjoy the shea butter to wash my face with, the original is my personal favorite for cleaning my brushes.

Let me know if you try it out and what you think!

No Gym No Problem

No Gym? No Problem! #48

Usually around this time of year with the holidays and colder weather it is tough to stay motivated to workout and eat right.  You know I love my girl Jessica Smith!  She is so encouraging and has some really great workouts. I love to use weights and build my muscle’s strength.   When using the weights, do whatever works for you.You can either use one set of smaller and larger weights like Jessica does, or just a set of smaller weights, or if you feel more comfortable just your own body weight.

Do you have 30 minutes to improve your health and wellness? Yes, You Do! No Excuses, Just do it! Remember to keep good proper form, warm up before, and stretch after you exercise!

MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE Review and Swatches

~Weekly Product Highlight~MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE

A while ago my sister gave me this little quad of Foil Eyeshines. They didn’t work out for her, so she figured that maybe I could try them out.  That is a great thing about makeup, a product that doesn’t work for one person can be a winner for someone else.

MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

The shimmer effect and beautiful colors of these foil eyeshines are outstanding!  While they can be worn on their own, I always wear it with a primer or a base like the Milani ShadowEyez Eye Shadow Pencils.

At first look in the pans I thought the shadows would a metallic shimmer, but once applied it actually comes across as a glittery finish. Despite all the glitter, they dry quickly with a smooth texture.  They have a similar texture and feel as Colorpop shadows…a little bouncy and wet, yet not really wet… that totally clears things up doesn’t it.

I have heard some people complain that for them these shadows wore off quickly or creased.  Or like for my sister just didn’t work out.  The website does say “Reapply as needed”,  seriously though, who wants to have to reapply eyeshadow through out the day?

Personally I have worn these for more than 8 hours and it still looked beautiful.  I think it just depends on your skin type and how oily your eyelids are.  I found them to be a great success.

The applicator it comes with is not the typical foam tip type that most shadows come with.  Instead it is more like a small rubber spatula.  I don’t really find that it works well, so I just apply these shadows with my finger tips.

These quads are available in 4 different shade combinations: neutral, rose gold, purples and blues.  I have the color quad 02 ROME Lush Lavenders & Smokey Purples.  These are available for $9.99 at most drugstores.

What does the Milani Website have to say about the MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE

“A next-level eye glimmer with a foil finish that lights up the eyes. More shine than shadow, Milani Fierce Foil Eyeshine glides smoothly across lids, leaving a buildable sheen that looks beautiful worn alone or on top of eyeshadow for extra intensity. Create endless looks, highlight, define, color and accent your eyes. Available in four expertly curated palettes named after Italy’s starriest cities.

Tap applicator onto color and glide over eye, starting close to lash line. Blend and build with applicator or fingertip to create a luxurious look. Reapply as needed. A little goes a long way!”

Have you tried any of these MILANI FIERCE FOIL EYESHINE?  What did you think?  Did they work out for you?  Did you find them to be long wearing or have to reapply them?

Tip Tuesday #41

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

Tip Tuesday: Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

This week’s tip is something so simple yet I think it is  great tip… Use Dove soap to wash off your makeup. 

dove soap | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

You don’t always need to spend a ton of money on fancy facial cleansers.  For years I have been simply using Dove soap with a gentle face cloth to wash my face.  It is very effective at removing makeup and cleaning my face without stripping my skin.  Dove soap can also be used around the eyes without causing too much irritation.

I keep my soap in a plastic travel container to keep it clean and fresh.

While the original bar is wonderful, I have been recently using the shea butter scent.  I find that all of the different scents work well, but the original and shea butter are my personal favorites.

Let me know if you try it out and what you think!
