Stylish DC Super Hero Girls
My kids have fallen in love with YouTube, and who would blame them. They can watch a huge variety of programs, on millions of channels, on the go. It is super convenient, and way more entertaining than watching the TV these days. They watch a lot of nursery rhymes, they know most of their favourite nursery rhymes by heart, and they have got me subscribing to all of them now, lol. Not that I am complaining though, YouTube keeps all of us very busy, and the kids are learning quite a lot from these channels as well. So it is entertaining but educative, if you get my drift….
We recently came across the cool DC Super Hero Girls cartoon series, and my daughter has fallen in love with it. She repeats what the girls say, copies the poses and loves their costumes as well. I like to stare at her, whenever the series comes up on YouTube, her eyes light up, and I can tell she worships the ground these girls walk on.
Now I can’t complain really, because I like all what this cartoon series represents. Apart from their stylish fashion sense, this action-packed girl power cartoon series features a dynamic group of Super Heroes on their journey of discovering the power of their unique abilities and friendships. I love how dynamic the characters are, from strong and fearless to edgy and fun; there is a character for every child. You can watch the YouTube videos, and see for yourself. I am sure you will be as intrigued as we are. Good to see super hero women every now and again, showing up for us girls, all over the world.

Product Review: Estée Lauder Makeup Brush Cleaner
I recently came across this Estée Lauder Makeup Brush Cleaner some weeks and I was eager to try it on my makeup brushes. I aim to clean my makeup brushes once a month, or every 6 weeks. I hardly wear makeup during the week, so I don’t see why I should clean my makeup brushes every week as recommended by the professionals.
I have used MAC Brush Cleanser religiously for years, so when my last bottle ran out, I was happy to try another brand, and Estée Lauder came to mind. One of my beauty resolutions for the year is to try out as many beauty brands as possible, so I am happy I am going ahead with it. I got this bottle from Debenhams, and I am loving it so far.
This professional makeup brush cleaner promises to gently and thoroughly clean, sanitise and condition makeup brushes, both natural and synthetic.
How the brush cleaner works –
Dampen it, then apply Estée Lauder Makeup Brush Cleanser to brush hair. Use your fingers to work into a lather.
Rinse well, then blot excess water with a paper towel and reshape the brush.
Lay brush flat to dry. Place at edge of table or counter with bristles pointing out to air-dry completely. Avoid drying upright, which can cause bristles to spread and handles to crack.
Well I put makeup brush cleaner to test, and here are my thoughts:
PROS
- It is super affordable. A 235ml bottle goes for £12.
- I love the packaging. It comes with a spray head, which makes application easy, and avoids unnecessary spillage.
- It cleans the brushes throughly. My makeup brushes, especially the foundation and concealer brushes, were in desperate need of a good clean, and this Estée Lauder makeup brush cleaner fulfilled all its brushes. My brushes looked brand new after a good few sprays of this Estée makeup brush cleaner.
- This product is easily accessible at Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser, Amazon, and Estée Lauder.co.uk
CONS
None
I can’t fault this product at all. I will defintely be buying it again, and I recommende it to all the makeup lovers out there. This Estée Makeip Brush Cleaner will leave your bushes looking and feeling brand new. It does it says it would do on the pack.
