What to Do with Your Expired Cleansing Water

Do you know that cleansing water or micellar water only last 6 months after opening? As a big fan of cleansing oil, I rarely finish a bottle of cleansing water. Plus, most of them comes in a big bottle, which is kinda waste if we threw it away just like that. So, I have came out with an idea to use the expired cleansing water until the last drop.

How? Use the expired cleansing water or micellar water as a makeup brush cleanser! It works like magic.

I have been using my expired micellar water as a makeup brush cleanser for a few times, it works perfectly everytime. Look at my blending brush which is so dirty with the eye pigment and even mascara and eyeliner, it just took a few seconds for the dirt to be removed. 

How?

1. Wet the bristles with lukewarm water.
2. Pour the expired cleanser water into a container.
3. Soak the tips of the bristles in expired cleanser water and stir gently.
4. Rinse the bristles.
5. Squeeze out the excess moisture with a clean towel.

6. Reshape the brush head.
7. Let the brush dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of a counter, thereby allowing it to dry in the correct shape.

[Review] Althea Make Up Tool Box

As a beauty junkie, I love to explore into different makeup brands, tools and cosmetic products. It was so lucky that I have managed to grab a box of Althea Make Up Tool Box not long ago, which is a total steal as there are 8 items inside the box. The products inside worth RM 551 in total but it was on 78% discount so one only needs to pay RM 116 for a Althea Make Up Tool Box. Where else could we get this super deal? I believe only at Althea, which is the No. 1 digital destination for all things K-beauty - shopping, lifestyle, and trends.

As usual, the Althea Make Up Tool Box was delivered to me in perfect condition. All items were wrapped carefully inside the box, thanks Althea team for the effort of packaging to make sure we received the products in tip top condition.

So, back to the products inside Althea Make Up Tool Box.

First, clean our face with B&SOAP Black Block and B&SOAP pore cleansing brush. B&SOAP Black Block contains charcoal extracts that effectively removes the impurities including excessive oil or makeup residues. While the B&SOAP pore cleansing brush has soft, micro fine bristles that sweep away pore-clogging impurities, leave our skin cleansed up every day. One just need 3 minutes to deep cleanse without bare hands. Your skin will thank you for the cleaning and you will see a healthy skin with this practise.

Secondly, apply skincare products with pobling mini Ion Applicator. The silver and pink mini ion applicator is so cute and easy to use, it just need one AAA battery to operate. Just use it for 5 minutes every time and you could really see a huge different. Skincare absorbed better and my skin is softer and smoother after using this with my skincare products.
