PhoneSoap For Makeup?!

Hi Friends!

In the midst of wedding season and working on a special project for you guys… I teamed up with PhoneSoap to share with you how I keep all my brushes and products safe and sanitized without any doubt if it is perfectly clean! A true and honest review, of course.

(This post may apply more for makeup artists, hair stylists or salons.. but may also apply to anyone looking to keep things disinfected!) 

I’m sure as you know, working with back to back clients, you need your brushes and products to be QUICKLY safe to use before your next client.

Let me introduce you to this awesome company.. PhoneSoap started as a device to disinfect your phone using UV-C light (because phones carry about 18x more bacteria than a toilet seat…and its on your face..yuck).

They recently came out with larger devices that would accommodate items besides your phone. They thought of makeup artists, and reached out. They were so kind to gift me the PhoneSoap XL, and it is LIFE CHANGING.

Although my usual routine of using Alcohol would clean the bristles and the product would be removed I still was unsure if everything was getting disinfected.

So I wanted to be proved this thing works so we took it to the lab and …….

OH MY GOSH, SOO GROSS. I was actually shocked. I was using “brush cleaning” products!

After I clean my bristles with alcohol to remove the product, I laid them flat in the PhoneSoap for 15 minutes.. and the entire handle and all bristles are completely disinfected.

Like I said, life changing.

Now I place everything in there.. makeup products, hair combs, clips and brushes, clients phones, scissors, and even random items in my house!

Anyway, long story short. If you are in the beauty industry, working on multiple clients daily… this will set your mind at ease. I only share things products that I believe in and I believe in this!

You know I love a good deal so PhoneSoap was so kind to offer my followers 20% off with code: ROSE20 until May 31st!

Ask any questions you have, I would love to help!

Just Enough of Pop!

I LOVE this look. Just enough color and pop to enhance her features and bring out the best… while still looking like herself! Perfect for engagement photos or any family pictures… or for this upcoming holiday season parties.

I found all products a black friday/cyber monday deal so you didn’t have too! 🙂

I hope you have fun recreating this look!
