Perfect Fashion Song!

We know that this song is old, but we heard it play recently and thought our fashionista bloggers would love to listen to it. It includes a great singer (Lady Gaga duh!), a good beat, and every famous designer we love! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

New Uses for Old Makeup

Do you have a lipstick that you just can't seem to finish? Or a favorite eyeshadow that you spent a fortune on but it crumbles to pieces after several uses? Here are some ways you can salvage what you already have, without spending more money! Just use some common household items and you can save your favorite products from being trashed.

1. Broken eyeshadows:

All you need is some rubbing alcohol, a tissue, and a coin! First, crush up the remaining bits of your eyeshadow into a fine powder. Then, saturate the powder in rubbing alcohol, but dont make a liquid! Next, place the tissue over the paste and press down with lots of force with the coin flat on the tissue. Lastly, let dry for several hours and voila! You have a re-compacted eyeshadow.



2. Old mascaras:

There is really no way to re-use this product once it's dried up however you can clean off the brushes and use them as eyebrow brushes.



3. Cracked blushes:

If you would like to do the same to the blush as the broken eyeshadow, that is one solution. However, blush can be ground up into a loose powder and used the same way! Or if you prefer, you can mix the powder with some clear lip balm and make a cream blush.



4. Old half-used lipsticks:

Create a lipstick palette! Cut tthe top off of lipsticks using floss. Put color in a compartment and use a lip brush to apply! Mix colors to create your own shade.



We hope this helps with your beauty on a budget! If you have any other good ideas for old makeup, please share!

Whether you go straight or curly, up or down, long or short, you need to be sure that your hair matches your dress. If you have a busy patterned dress, go simple for your hair.

Updos

There is no right or wrong way to do one of these! Play around with some different styles to find which looks best on you. Try adding braids, curls and twists. You can go for a messy bun, or a sleek, pinned-back look. Try some of these:

Simple long hair

If an updo isn't right for you, try loose waves or curls. You can add to this look by pinning back a section, doing half-up half-down, or adding some braids.
