Fleur at Robinsons Malolos

As of the moment this is my favorite store at Robinsons Malolos. Why? Because they have lots of kikay stuff!!!

My sister was looking for new tops and the choices are pretty limited here. Then we went in the Fleur shop for the first time and my sister had to drag me back out XD.

First of all they have alot of cute tops and sweatshirts which I really love.

Then this section made it even more interesting! There are only a limited selection of make up brands you can find at watsons and in the department store and then there's etude house but it's just not enough :(

They sell make up brushes! BH Cosmetics PHP1500 and Real Techniques brush sets and some others too. <I had to practice a lot of self control to prevent myself from buying another brush! (>_<)>
They have lippies like wet and wild megalast and colour pop.
They have a lot of elf products from blushes to eyebrow palettes.
They have wet and wild color icon eyeshadow palettes and blushes.
They have BH Cosmetics It'sJudyTime Palette!!! And other blushes too.
They have brush guards and egg brushes.
They even have Rimmel Stay Matte Powder too bad they didn't have the transluscent shade anymore :( They only have 2 pcs. left with shades of buff beige and true beige. <i think?>
And the prices are really affordable! It's almost as if you bought it on online stores.

So I ended up buying these in the end. I love the sweatshirts! They're so comfy! Blue with Hearts PHP350. Gray PHP440. Very cheap compared to others.

BH Cosmetics It's Judy Time Palette - PHP1050
Elf Eyeshadow Primer - PHP125
Wet n Wild Megalast Lipstick in Spiked Rum - PHP219
Brush Egg - PHP100
Brush Guard 15pcs. - PHP200

I know! Don't judge me! It's hard earned money and I deserve it! ^_^

I was planning to buy it online so imagine my surprise of seeing one here!

I'm sooooo excited to try this!

"Natural is beautiful but makeup is glam"

Elf Eyelid Primer. Elf is known as a drugstore (hence affordable) brand with good quality. So I want to try this along with my new eyeshadow palette! ^_^

I was really happy to see wet and wild megalast lipsticks in the flesh. You can research the swatches on the internet but seeing it first hand is still the best.

I bought the shade Spiked with Rum which I think fits me. I just hope it really lasts long. :)

Egg Brush! My sister immediately grabbed one and made me pay for it. <she cleans my brushes so I have no say on the matter>. I was expecting it to be a little bigger but it's actually cute sized.

Yay! Brush Guards! to of course protect the brushes and keep them in shape. :)

Check them out at 2F Robinsons Malolos. You can also check them on facebook Fleur Concept Botique.

DIY Brush Cleaning Board and Drying Rack

I hate cleaning brushes! XD Every weekend I take my brushes home and my little sister would clean it for me. I don't even know how to clean them properly before she told me.

But then I started getting into brushes and when you try to search for brushes online a "how to take care of your brushes" page always pops up.

When to clean your brushes?

You should clean your brushes at least once a weak. But if you're using liquid make up you might want to clean it after use so bacteria won't build up in the brush and cause you to break out the next time you use it.

What should you use to clean your brushes?

You can use a shampoo and conditioner or you can buy a brush cleaner. I recently just learned you can also use a mix of antibacterial dish washing liquid and cooking oil so the brush doesn't dry out.

How to clean them?

Soak the brush in water, and then in the cleaning agent of your choice.

Then swirl the brush in your hands or use a brush egg/mat until the dirt comes of then rinse.

The brush bristles should always be facing down the entire process so the water doesn't go up and losen the glue that keeps the bristles together. So you also have to hang them upside down.

Now that that's out of the way, we go to the DIY Cleaning Board and Dry Rack.

You can buy them online or at some stores but if you're stingy like me try making the DIY. :P

 Brush Egg @ Beauty Cosmetics PHP100 + shipping fee

Brush Tree @ Beauty Cosmetics PHP950 + shipping fee

Brush Rack @ Miss Bella PH PHP180 + Shipping fee

Or you can make a DIY. For the brush cleaning board, all you need is a glue gun with glue sticks of course and any plastic board of some sort.

Here I used the cover on a box of crackers.

Then I drew dots and lines and curve patterns on the cover with the glue gun. And there you have a brush cleaning board.

It doesn't look as pretty as a brush egg but it does it's job pretty well.

For the rack I used some rubber bands and an old oval template.

 Then I used the cracker box to hold it up.

You can adjust the rubber bands so that the brushes fit.

Again it doesn't look pretty but it works. You can probably make them more presentable. Creativity is your limit. 

I didn't spend anything for these since I just used materials I found at home. It pays to be creative. XD I hope this helps. :)
