Tuesday Tip: Don't PUMP that wand

Why you shouldn't pump your mascara wand...

You've seen your mom do it when you watched her out her makeup
on...maybe your aunt or even your theater teacher....

Pumping the mascara wand in & out of the tube does two very bad things....
One- it dries out your mascara faster. You're pushing oxygen into the
tube and making the mascara dry out faster. You should replace your
mascara every 6 months (although I can't seem to make it more than 2
per tube). This action makes it dry out even faster.

Two- The oxygen you just pushed down into the tube is creating a
breeding ground for some gruesome bacteria.

Swirl, scoop but do not pump that wand!!!!

Tuesday Tip: Mascara Smudges

Mascara Smudge....
We've all done it. We are in a rush & all the sudden, we swipe that mascara past our lashes & mascara is everywhere. Our first impulse? Grab that toilet paper or cotton swab & wipe quickly....but then it just smudges more. Even more frustration!!! It's so aggravating & time consuming to fix your eye makeup & then re-do the mascara & liner!


Next time you decide to have a mad dash morning, you'll be prepared! Just wait until that mascara dries, grab a Q-tip (I prefer the cosmetic kind with a point on the end) & simply wipe away! Works every time, on regular OR waterproof mascara. It usually flakes off the skin, not even really taking off your foundation, concealer or powder. If you see that it has taken some off, dab a cosmetic sponge with foundation or powder over the area if you rubbed to hard.

Hope this helps you in your next morning rush!
