Learn How to Repair Broken Eyeshadows, Blush and Foundation

You just bought that fabulous metallic eyeshadow you've had your eye on for the last month... A week later ...It's fallen on the floor in a big powdery mess. Oops! If you're anything like me, this is a common occurrence in your household. Don't you hate it when you buy new makeup and it breaks faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious? Okay, maybe not that  fast. But here's a quick easy way to fix that problem.

WHAT YOU NEED

• Sandwich baggy
• Tiny spatula, if you don't have one improvise! Use the opposite end of a spoon
• Rubbing alcohol
• Paper towel, tissue, or piece of fabric
• Quarter

 STEP ONE
 Place the baggy over the broken eyeshadow.

 STEP TWO
Take your spatula and break the eyeshadow even more. This sounds counterproductive, but the smaller it is ground up the easier it is for it to stick together again. Make sure your hands and spatula are clean!

STEP THREE
  Now for the rubbing alcohol. You can do this a few different ways...The most effective method is to use some kind of dropper to apply the alcohol. I didn't have one of those lying around the house so I used a tiny spray bottle. Don't drench the eyeshadow in alcohol but it needs to have enough to make it pliable. A clay consistency. You be the judge

 STEP FOUR
Take your paper towel/fabric/tissue and gently press it over your eyeshadow to form it back into place. You can wrap the quarter up in the paper towel to really get a nice form. DO NOT place the quarter directly onto the eyeshadow unless you want it to be filled with germs!

 Yours will probably look a little better than mine. It's difficult to form an eyeshadow trio back in to place =)

 Now that you know how to fix broken shadows you wont ever have to deal with a messy makeup bag again. Yay!

Leave Your Skin Glowing With This DIY Pumpkin Mask

Fall brings pumpkin spiced lattes and pumpkin pie, so why not treat yourself to an at home pumpkin facial? This wonderful gift from mother nature is rich in vitamin A which helps repair the skin and stabilize the production of collagen. It's naturally hydrating and great for all skin types!

 WHAT YOU NEED

• About 4 tablespoons pumpkin puree (not the pumpkin pie filling with a bunch of added sugar)
•  2 teaspoons of honey
• A splash of milk, buttermilk, or whipping cream

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. If you used whipping cream try using the electric mixer for a few minutes to really add thickness to your mask. Apply to freshly washed skin for about 15 minutes. I could really feel the hydration in this mask. I will definitely be trying this one again.

Forget the expensive facial. Have your skin glowing using only 3 ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!
