Welcome to Thinking Out Loud Thursday where I share something I'm thinking about and invite you to link up and do the same. Today I'm thinking about how I made my cracked makeup good as new!
Last week I took a few days off to just get some things checked off my to-do list that had been sitting there for a while. The list included things like using my spa gift certificate that I had gotten for Christmas in 2019 (eeks!), printing and framing new pictures of our family, and fixing a cracked up eye shadow.
We all have makeup like this, don't we? You accidentally drop your blush and it cracks into a million pieces. We throw an eye shadow container in the suitcase and it ends up all busted up. That's what happened to me. I bought this new vessel of eye shadow and the first trip it went on, my favorite color ended up all busted up.
I had seen how to fix this catastrophe a few times before. But last month when I was reading my Real Simple magazine, there the instructions were again.
The fix is so very simple. Crush up the power into fine pieces and add a few drops of 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. I poured a little in the lid of the container, then tipped it over the powder until a few drops fell. When the powder is moist, cover it with plastic wrap and press.
Now it's your turn - what are you thinking out loud about today? Link up and share!
Fantastic tip! Hope I won't need it but...
