This weeks tip is short and sweet! When applying mascara instead of sweeping upwards, sweep towards your nose. This simple change in direction will not only help make the lashes look fuller but will also make the eyes look larger as well.
Let me know if you try it and what you think!

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesdays…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.

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday
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!
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.
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.
Hope you enjoy this weeks tip!

I seriously hate it when I am trying to sharpen a makeup pencil and it keeps breaking!!! (I hate wasting the product in a sharpener!) To prevent this from happening I put it in the freezer 30 minutes before I want to sharpen it. This simple trick helps to makes the tip less likely to crumble and break. If you are going to use the liner right after sharpening just soften it up a bit by drawing a quick line or two on the back of your hand.
I tend to set aside a time to sharpen all my dull liners at the same time, so I will throw them all into the freezer at the same time and set a timer for 30 minutes and then sharpen them all at once

I always tend to apply my foundation and concealer first and then my eye makeup. Unfortunately, this often results in fall out creating what looks like dark shadows under my eyes (not the look I am going for!)
Instead, after my foundation, I have recently been starting with eye makeup and then applying my concealer afterwards. That way, I can easily clean up any eye shadow that falls below my eyes. I also soak a cotton swab or two in makeup remover to have on hand to quickly and easily clean up any of the left over fall out. To finish, I apply my concealer under my eyes for a bright perfect under eye area.

Here is another quick tip for Tip Tuesdays…
Invest in a good matte taupe eye shadow like Urban Decay Buck, Bobbie Brown Taupe, The Balm Matt Patel from the Meet Matte palette, or one of my favorites Taupe from the Lorac Pro Palette. You don’t just have to use that matte taupe eye shadow in your crease or on your eyelids. You can use a matte taupe eye shadow to fill in brows, line eyes, and even blend under your cheekbones for a quick and easy contour.
PS: No affiliate links in this post, just a bunch of links to help you know what types of shadows I am talking about 😉

Have you seen that Biore recently release a Baking Soda Pore Cleanser? You don’t need to pay $7 for the benefits* that you can receive from a $0.52 box of baking soda.
Make your own baking soda pore cleanser by mixing plain old baking soda and water until it forms a paste.
Wet your face with warm water. Dip your fingers into the baking soda paste. Apply the paste to your wet face using a gentle circular motion. Cover your entire face with the paste. Avoiding the eye area. Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel. It is as simple as that.
You can also spruce it up by mixing it with organic coconut, olive, or grapeseed oil or with Witch Hazel.
**Be sure to avoid eye contact!**
