how to: repair a shattered eyeshadow

While stumbling on the internet I found a really helpful how to. It may be a fun thing to do if you are snowed in the house like I am right now! It will help you preserve your sanity and hard earned dollars. Do you ever break your eyeshadow? Like, drop it on the ground or shatter it? It's heartbreaking, especially when you've forked over serious money for the good stuff. I've thrown away hundreds of dollars in makeup because I've shattered it doing who knows what.

I'm here to tell you how to repair it!

What you will need:

• shattered eyeshadow
• coin
• rubbing alcohol
• tissue
• butter knife
• medicine squirter
• plastic bag or plastic wrap

Step 1:
Place the shattered makeup carefully into the plastic bag holding the plastic carefully over the top.

Step 2:
Hold the plastic tightly across the top of the eyeshadow and with the back of the butter knife smash all the remaining bits of eyeshadow into a fine powder.

Step 3:
When the eyeshadow looks like this, you're ready to go. Pull the eyeshadow out of the plastic bag.

Step 4:
Using the medicine squirter, put a couple squirts of rubbing alcohol into the broken eyeshadow. Make sure the eyeshadow is completely saturated with the rubbing alcohol.

Step 5:
Now put the tissue on top of the eyeshadow and put the coin on top of that. Press down with all the force in the world. You're re-compacting the eyeshadow, so don't by shy.

Step 6:
Enjoy your new eyeshadow!

Isn't that awesome! I've just did it on my M.A.C. blush.

Boyfriend Blazers

If you think sharp suits are just for men, think again! A boyfriend blazer is the perfect cover up solution for those chilly days...Not to mention you can wear it with skirts, pants, jeggings & dresses. Get the celeb look quick and easy by pairing it with denim bottoms & a solid white tee.

We have the most amazing boyfriend blazer in black and khaki color right now [below]. It allows you to move freely and feel comfortable while being super stylish.
