If you want to make the whites of your eyes look extra bright and pop, instead of lining your eyes with black or brown, use a navy blue or deep plum eyeliner.  Just as a blue toned lipsticks will make you teeth look whiter, a navy or blue toned eyeliner will have the same effect on the whites of your eyes.

Two of my favorites are Marcelle Waterproof Eyeliner in Mulberry  or Indigo for $12 each or the INFALLIBLE Silkissime Eyeliner in plum $8.99.

I love to wear long dangling earrings!

It is so annoying to be looking amongst your jewelry for the perfect pair of earrings and only being able to find one of them.  One way I keep all my earrings organized and easy to find is with buttons.  I insert the earrings into the button holes and have a simple yet ingenious way to keep my earrings together and organized.  Now whenever I am looking in my jewelry box for a pair of earrings they are already together and easy to find.

Baby wipes are not just for babies!

If you are a mother, you will already know all about this tip, I am not telling you anything new, but baby wipes are amazing for so many things. One of my favorite things to use baby wipes for is removing my makeup.  Since the wipes are made for delicate baby skin they are also great for the more sensitive skin of the face.

I usually get the scent free and sensitive skin ones.  Not only are they  gentle, but also efficient at getting the job done.  Also, baby wipe cost so much less than the wipes that are specifically labeled as “makeup remover wipes”.

This weeks tip has nothing to do with beauty or makeup, but it is still a great tip!

I was using my microwave the other day and what I was heating up exploded all over the inside.  So gross and so annoying to clean up.  This weeks tip is a simple way to effortlessly clean your microwave.

Look at how gross and dirty the inside of my microwave is! Yuck!

Fill a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Put the mixture into the microwave and heat it on high for 10 minutes.  Let it sit in the microwave for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove the bowl and wipe down walls, top, bottom and door of the microwave.  (Be careful when you take the bowl out, it will be hot!)  The steam from the vinegar water mixture will have loosened everything from the inside of the microwave making it quick and easy to wipe clean.  It is like magic!

This weeks tip is short and sweet!  When storing your makeup remover wipes keep them upside down instead of right side up.  This simple change in direction will help to prevent the wipes at the top from drying out while the ones at the bottom remain extra wet and saturated.

When it comes to face makeup, no one wants to have a cake face!!!  Let’s be honest, sometimes it happens despite the best efforts!  This weeks tip can help to cut down on mid day makeup cake up.

When I want to keep my face looking fresh throughout the day I will reapply some loose face powder.  To prevent the powder from becoming cakey on my face, I always blot off the excess oil first.  Doing this simple step will prevent the powder from sticking and clumping to the oil and instead will give you the fresh face you are looking for.

You don’t need special blotting papers or sponges! I find that gently pressing a paper napkin or paper towel to my more oily areas does the trick perfectly.  One of the best paper napkins to use for oil absorption comes from Starbucks!  Those little brown paper napkins do the trick perfectly!  Whenever I am there I grab a handful for my purse.

I HATE chapped lips!!! I cannot even handle when my lips are dry at all!  If you want to exfoliate your lips quickly and easily without using a messy scrub you’ll love this tip…

Simply apply a thick layer of moisturizing lip balm to your lips and let is sit for a good amount of time.  I will usually apply it after I brush my teeth when I first wake up and go about my morning routine.  Then using a clean dry wash cloth, put your finger into the cloth making a little glove over your finger.  Using circular motions rub the balm off your lips exfoliating your lips at the same time.  The texture of the wash cloth will work as an exfoliator without having to use any other product.  Keep in mind that the lips are a very delicate area, so be sure that you don’t rub too hard!

I hope that you enjoyed this tip!

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday.

This week I am going to be talking about…Multi Masking!

Tip Tuesday Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I don’t know about you, but all the parts of my face are not created equally!  It is kind of annoying!  While my forehead and cheeks are very normal my nose is dry and my chin always seems to be the place to break out.

This is where multi masking comes into play!  Using a few different types of face masks as the same time you can get what each area of your face needs.  By applying a clarifying mask to my chin and a moisturizing mask to my nose and a soothing mud mask to my cheeks and forehead area, I am giving each each part of my face what it needs all at the same time.

Tip Tuesday FORMULA 10.0.6 multi masking | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

There are so many great masks available!  I really like the Formula 10.0.6 mud masks. I’ve seen them at both Ulta and at Walgreens.com. They’re great and only around $6-7.  Added bonus they smell great and the packaging is super cute too!  I also recommend  the Queen Helene line of masks two of my favorites are the  Grape Seed Extract Peel Off Masque and especially the Mint Julep mask.  These are both less than $4.
