How I clean my makeup brushes?

Assalamualaikum and hey!

I don’t know why but right now I am obsessed with makeup! OMG. This is not good. I’m going to starve as long as I found the ideal eyeliner. Hahaha. Just so you know, its been like 2 months since the day I get my hands on my very own makeup brush set from Ronasutra. I am so excited that I can’t control myself playing with the bristles and admiring the packaging. The top used brush are the big powder brush and the kabuki brush. Both are amazing. From the mineral powder foundation, pressed foundation and the blusher, I used these two babies without any hassle.

2 months sounds like a blink of an eye but for the makeup brushes, it is time to take their very first ‘shower’. Hahaha. I’ve been meaning to purchase The BrushEgg to help the cleansing process but on second thought, I guess it is not necessary. Yesterday, I came up with a new alternative.

By using a new hair comb, I managed to get the BrushEgg ‘texture’ to clean up my brushes! It is super easy, simple and time saving. Don’t forget how much money you can save by doing this. Haha.

Since I posted this video on Twitter, some people asked what type of soap I used in this video to clean the brushes.

17475_0a137f52-6c96-11e4-9fc8-9ebb4908a8c2

This is the Bioglo Goats Milk Facial Cleanser.

  • Soap-free with pH balanced formula that forms a luxurious, creamy lather.
  • Specifically formulated with the mildest cleansing ingredients, it gently removes excess oil, makeup and impurities without stripping away skin’s natural protective barrier.

Actually, this is my old facial cleanser that I’ve been using years ago but I stopped since it didn’t work effectively on my combination skin. Who would’ve thought that it can be used again for different purposes? I think this is the most perfect cleanser for makeup brushes because of the mild cleansing and soap-free. You can buy this at Cosway.

My babies are all freshen up! Clean and smells good! Thank you for reading and hope it helps. ❤

Ronasutra again?

IMG_1023.JPG

Ronasutra is the best local mineral based cosmetics of all time. I’m not buttering them up but this brand? They do know how to roll. More information on my previous post HERE or their website.

Who would have thought such a small investment could lead to something bigger? It was all of a sudden and was like some sort of a dream maybe? I’ve purchased a set of their items which was during the Merdeka Crazy Sale last year,  wrote a review about it, posting it on their FB page and then BAMMMM!

A surprise gift? This ought be good. So, I emailed and they replied.

OH MY GOD! Yeah. I can choose whatever Ronasutra’s items worth of RM150. I was freakin’ excited, of course! Now, I can see in a clear picture where opportunities can come easily to you, starts with small things. Alhamdulillah. This was so unexpected. The review I posted before was really an honest one and I wrote that casually. Just like the things I like to do when I’m bored and this is unplanned.

Want to know what I redeemed?

Ronasutra Cosmetics Review

Assalamualaikum ladies!

Remember my longest review on my precious Kokuryu Super Summer Cake Powder? Did I manage to blow your mind? I hope it did. On the other hand, have you ever heard of the brand Ronasutra? If you’re Malaysian, I bet you do. It is one of the best and popular local brand. What I love the most about it is they are 100% mineral based cosmetics. I don’t want to brag but you must see this through.

ABOUT

Ronasutra is a range of mineral based cosmetic that is created to meet the needs of consumers today who are looking for an alternative to the usual face makeup available in the market today. It is suitable for all skin types, especially for problematic and sensitive skin.

With formulation that are safety-conscious and free from harsh chemicals, those with sensitive skin will get relief from blemishes, excessive skin oiliness and congested skin once they switch to Ronasutra Mineral Makeup.

Awesome right? Actually, 3 years ago, I managed to get my hands on the Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation and Powder which is basically a loose foundation. Mine was in the shade 04 Honey. My honest opinion is the powder really helps in my skin problems as in oily skin and a few severity of acne which also a little bit sensitive towards chemical products. Alhamdulillah for that because my skin gets better afterwards. It also lasts for like 5-6 months. Unfortunately, I was unable to maintain to use it because it is pretty steep for a student like me.

This year, I finally stand a chance to try it again! Ronasutra had organized a Merdeka Crazy Sales for the Independence Day last month and yeah, it was crazy. Crazy enough to get my head in dilemma. A few cosmetic sets were extremely cheaper than ever!

Wow. I was in shocked when I saw this on their FB page. I kept asking myself which sets I want to buy and it drives me crazy. Hahahaha. I’ve always wanted to try their retractable Kabuki Brush because well, I don’t have any makeup brushes so why not I bought the entire set? Finally, I picked Set 1.

The original price was hell. RM109 was too much for me. Hahaha. RM43 was quite reasonable since they included the Kabuki Brush. The original price of the brush is RM48 itself so I didn’t wait any longer and start to google so I get more information about the set. Luckily, Z managed to buy it for me since the sales was in Shah Alam.

Taraaaa! This is mine! *cry. I was super excited to try this out especially the brush. Hehehehe. On the first day of my new semester, I tried this out and Iove it! Lets check out the details and the packaging.

The overall packaging of the set was normal and good for me.

I don’t have a chance to try this sponge but my first impression is it is high in quality, soft and flexible also it is in a small size thus, it can fit within the powder container. The texture also seems blendable and easy to dab on the face. For this set, I get one sponge.

Descriptions

How to use?

  1. Dip sponge in some powder and dab the powder all over the face.
  2. Then, smooth and blend using the sponge or Ronasutra Kabuki Foundation Brush for Sensitive Skin

Retail price : MYR6

MY TESTIMONY

As per usual, for review, there’s no filter for this photo. I only applied my face lotion/moisturizer and the Ronasutra 5 colour set on top with the kabuki brush. My face looks glow and matte without any shiny and oily skin area especially on the T-zone. The loose formula naturally absorbs the oil on my face thus it lasts 8-9 hours! Even at night, my skin still looks fresh like I put a new coat of powder. Seriously, I love it.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT?

  • Made from 100% natural earth minerals.
  • Free from talc, oil, paraben or any synthetic formula.
  • Long-lasting.
  • High UV protection.
  • Anti-bacterial.
  • Safe to be worn during sleep.
  • Halal.
  • Buildable formula.
  • Easy to blend to get full coverage.
  • Able to control excess oil and sebum production on the skin.
  • Enhancing the skin’s natural colour.

WHAT I DON’T LIKE ABOUT IT?

  • Loose powder sometimes can be a bitch ; spilled everywhere.
  • During application, I need to hold my breath to avoid any powder inhalation. Hahahaha.
  • The clear twist compartment can be really difficult to work with.
  • The sticker at the bottom of the container is really disturbing as I cannot see the different 5 shades.

All in all, two thumbs up from me. 🙂

Other products for Ronasutra brand are :

  • Ronasutra 2-in-1 Mineral Foundation & Powder (8 shades)
