QUICK TIP

Wash your make-up brushes once every 2 or 3 weeks to make them last longer and eliminate any icky, germy residue caused by cosmetics residue. Use a little bit of shampoo or brush cleaner (bareMinerals has a good one) under warm, running water and very important: lay flat to dry (on a double layer of paper towel) while giving them back their shape.

Brushes: Sonia Kashuk available at Target

Inexpensive Holiday Make-Up

If there's someone who knows how to look expensive without breaking the bank it's Andrea Pomerantz Lustig, contribuiting beauty editor at Glamour magazine. On a live Facebook chat she had Monday, she answered my question and recommended some awesome holiday palettes and kits for the girl on the bargain who wants to look like a million bucks!

Thanks Andrea! Those are great suggestions. There you have it! Which one will you get first?
