Every once in awhile I come across a product that completely changes the game for me. Sometimes it’s a mask, sometimes it’s a concealer, sometimes it’s a lipstick, sometimes it’s something a little less sexy than that, but still game changing all the same. Daiso Detergent For Puff And Sponge is a mouthful, but I almost feel like such a longwinded name is warranted after the way it blew me away.
Diaso Detergent, (as I’m going to refer to it from hereon out) is a very inexpensive, but very, very, very effective cleanser for brushes and sponges. I could sit here and wax poetic about exactly how crazy this stuff is (as in crazy effective) but nothing I can say can show you how amazing this stuff is as well as a picture can. So behold!
Here we had my disgustingly filthy duo fibre brush. This brush was stained all to hell from years of blushes and highlighters. It had been washed time and time again and just would not come clean. It was my toughest brush to get clean and I mistakenly assumed it was just stained forever.
To use the Daiso Detergent, you simply pour a bit in a clean bowl and swirl the brush around in the cleanser, then rinse with water. That’s it!
With the most minimal of effort, I mean really minimal, this brush came snow white clean! I can’t even tell you how disgusted I was that I had been using that I assumed was a ‘as clean as it can possibly get’ brush all this time! I promptly went through and cleaned every damn brush I owned, quite an undertaking as I have probably a hundred makeup brushes I’ve collected over the years. This detergent is beyond the holy grail for me. I want to sing it’s praises from the mountain tops. I don’t think I will ever buy another brush cleaner again, this is it for me, I’m totally committed! I’m throwing away my little black brush cleaner book. I’m deleting my other cleaners’ contact details off my phone. I’m putting a ring on it!
I am rarely able to explicitly tell you guys to ‘GO BUY SOMETHING NOW!’ because not everything works for everyone, but with something like this, I say GO BUY THIS NOW! Seriously though, if you’re looking for a brush or puff cleaner (it also works great on my BB cushion sponges!) I implore you to give this one a try. It’s great stuff and at such an amazing price point, you cannot go wrong!
Five out of five turtles, with an extra turtle for taking the top spot forever and ever and ever.

It’s officially official, we wrote a book! Like an actual one, that you can hold, and buy, and that would look so incredibly cute on your coffee table.
I’m going to take the words from my co-author and soul sister Kerry (Skin & Tonics), and let her give you her take on it before I put in my two cents 😀
One area where Coco and I were particularly fortunate is that we were given full control over the book’s content and design. Being given design control is not typical in the traditional publishing industry, so this was a really big deal for us! Coco art directed the photoshoots, and I handled the layout and information design. We both developed the cover design. The finished product is a beautiful, glossy, full-color, hardcover. If you don’t want to wait for November to order it, you canpre-order it on Amazon and receive it the day it’s released (November 3, 2015).”
I’m so excited to introduce you guys to this book. It’s coming out in Nov, but like Kerry said above, it’s available on Amazon right now for preorder, which you can also access via the link on the sidebar of the homepage. I’m so proud of everything and I’d like to give a special shoutout to the stellar team we put together to bring you this baby. Truly, it was a labor of love, and I think you might love it just as much as we do.And like I said, it’s going to set your coffee table off so very nice 😉
I’m convinced Whamisa can do no wrong. I sat down to try yet another of their superb mask offerings and once again I was thrilled. The Glow Recipe website does the best job of giving this mask a proper run down so I’m going to paste their description for you here and then give you my thoughts on it.
“The Gist:

How it works:

Our Insight:
Long before sheet masks became a staple in Korean skincare regimes, geishas would boil water underneath flowers and herbs, then capture the steam on a piece of kimono silk, which they would then apply to the face. Today’s sheet mask is a little more high-techs. The best sheet masks now transcend fabric masks – the new trend is innovative gel-mask forms.
This gel mask is Glow Recipe team favorite. We recommend applying the liquid serum inside the mask packaging before placing the mask onto the skin. The best part is the sensorial experience as the mask reacts to skin’s temperature to adhere seamlessly to the facial contours and maximize the benefits.”
First of all, the hydra-gel is so neat! It’s like a solid paper thin sheet of jelly. It’s super wiggly-wobbly and a lot of fun to put on your face. Take care when removing it from it’s peel back packaging, it’s slippery and easy to drop if you’re not paying attention. This mask is absolutely brimming with essence and that essence is brimming with stellar skin care ingredients. My skin loves ferments so I’m always happy to have them in all the products I use. The effects of this mask are immediate in that your skin comes away plumper, fuller looking, and fabulously hydrated. Like I said about it’s sister, the Whamisa sea kelp mask, the effects are like that of getting an expensive facial. I see no difference between how my skin looks and feels after this mask followed by my other Whamisa products and how it looks and feels after a facial. It’s a better investment in my opinion!
I stuck this guy in the fridge and the cooling effect was amazing! It was as refreshing as a cold shower after a hot yoga session. In fact I’m just going to refer to this as my after yoga shower in a package from now on because this thing is bliss! I cannot wait to use these masks this summer. I’m just so impressed with them. As a matter of fact, the day after I used this, I had an insanely hectic day, and I wasn’t able to do my usual daytime skincare routine. When the day was finally over and I got a chance to start my nighttime skin regime, I was pleased to discover that my skin was in the same condition it would have been had I not skipped everything! This mask from the day before was enough to carry me though 24 hours of neglect and helped me retain plump moisturized skin! I promptly ordered 6 more of these, because damn, what more could I ask for in a mask.
Glow Recipe has curated yet another absolute must try from Whamisa. At $9 it’s steeper than a regular cotton and glycerin mask, but again, you’re getting what you pay for here, top notch ingredients and no potentially acne triggering or irritating fillers. This mask is easily gets 5 out of 5 turtles plus one for being exceptional. Order yourself a few and stick them in the fridge next to your veggies and other good for you stuff!
