worst beauty habit: Buying too much makeup. I can’t help it because I love the colors and playing with brushes!

best beauty habit: strict on skin care and air drying my hair (and then…putting on lipstick)

I clean my brushes every night if they have been used. (I clean the big fluffy blushes with Johnson&Johnson baby shampoo and the small ones with MAC brush cleaner (the small ones meet the baby shampoo sometimes too).

Worst beauty habit – I pick at my face a lot and tweeze like it’s going out of style.

Best beauty habit – I’m really nice to my hair. I condition a lot and deep condition at least once a week. I hardly ever blow dry it, either, and only use good hair tools.

Cleaning my brushes – Umm…it depends, since I don’t wear makeup every day. Face brushes after 2-3 uses (unless I use crazy different blush colors, then it’s immediately after use) and eye brushes depend on what colors I use (regular neutrals, 2-3 uses, bright or bold colors, immediately after I use them)

Your best beauty habit: I clean my face and remove my makeup religiously.
How often do you clean your brushes: I clean all of them about once a week. I clean my foundation and eye liner brushes daily though to prevent the spread of bacteria.

How often do you clean your brushes: I clean them every few days, so there’s no color mixing. I shampoo them about once a month.

-Your worst beauty habit: once in a while going to bed with makeup on…If you listened to my spouse, I should add that I also buy too much makeup & beauty products but, personally, I don’t believe that there is such a thing! It’s all necessary 🙂
– Your best beauty habit: I have several: I do body & face scrubs 2-3 times/week, deep facial masks & deep hair treatments 1/week, I religiously wash my brushes 2-3 times/week. I always apply sunscreen on my face (with or without makeup), and I use good products for hair and skin and let my hair air dry (I blow dry my hair maybe 6 times/year at most! I keep it for emergencies).
-How often do you clean your brushes: 2-3 times/week.

Your worst beauty habit: picking at my blemishes!
Your best beauty habit: thoroughly removing every single trace of my makeup before sleeping
How often do you clean your brushes: depends on how often I use them. If I don’t use them, I don’t clean them. But if I do, I’ll clean them at least once in 2 weeks.

Your worst beauty habit: I hug my brushes. Ya know when you hold it like a pencil with your fingers close to the bristles. I’m trying to relearn how to hold them. Also, I obsess about my eyebrows while I do my eye makeup hahah

Your best beauty habit: Keeping up with my eyebrows I guess. My obsession is good for something I suppose. Oh and I always take off my makeup before I go to sleep. Very important.

How often do you clean your brushes: At least once a week. 🙂 I love cleaning my brushes hah

Worst – Spending too much on makeup and then leaving the house bare faced. Such a waste!

Best – I never go to bed with make up on.

How Often – Any brushes used in creams or liquids get washed nightly. Shadow and Powder brushes, every Sunday.
