Spring Clean Your Makeup Bag [Tip Of The Day]

Head on over to handbag.com to know all that you need in order to clear away the makeup clutter! I personally feel the steps are quite relevant without getting too technical on how to know the bad makeup from the good and to clean away the makeup mess.

I recently "spring cleaned" my makeup collection and and ended up with a bag full of products I haven't used- in a long time, won't use, or are as good as new *hides* lol!

It may be surprising but I love how light I feel after that- Alhamdullilah! All those products, not being put to better use is a real shame on my part. InshaaAllah I will be giving them way to family and friends as soon as I am able (after I sanitize them properly ofcourse!).

Tip Of The Day (TOTD)

"النصيحة الجمالية لليوم..أفضل طريقة لوضع العطر حتى يدوم طويلاً هو وضعه على مناطق النبض في الجسم؛ كالمعصمين، داخل الكوعين، وخلف الأذنين. فهذا سيمنحك التمتع برائحة جذابة وخفيفة تدوم طويلاً.

The beauty tip of the day ..

The best way to put perfume for a long-lasting scent is to apply the fragrance on the pulse zones of the body; like the wrists, inside the elbows, and behind the ears. Which this will make you enjoy the long-lasting, light, and attractive smell."

Tip Of The Day (TOTD): Using Toothpaste as pimple reducer?

"Got a pimple before a big event? Dab on a little toothpaste. According to Dr. Frances Jang, a dermatologist at Skinworks in Vancouver, British Columbia, “It acts like an astringent drawing impurities out of the skin.” The paste will dry up the blemish and help kill germs in the affected area. Dr. Jang recommends that users of this quick fix “find a natural or organic toothpaste with minimal addictives. Get an actual paste, not a gel. Apply a small dab to an acne spot and leave it overnight.” Be sure to use a small amount – too much and your skin may become irritated or excessively dry. In the morning, wash away the paste and your breakout should be less inflamed and noticeable." [1]

It works!

I tried it the other day when a pimple emerged near my chin. 

I used an actual toothpaste like the tip asks to, not a gel (if you have used certain Close-Up brand toothpastes, you may understand the difference). The specific brand I used was Sensodyne.

I applied the toothpaste as soon as I spotted the pimple, let it sit on top for an hour or two. And when I came back to wash it away, the pimple was nearly gone! 

This just might become my go-to quick fix for any unwelcome-d guests on my face, lol! I usually would use yogurt as a spot fix but, will mention more about that in another post sometime because I'm still trying to find out what the science behind that trick is. 

Will you try this out? 

Do you already use this trick?
