Spring Cleaning

It seems that in one way or another everyone is getting into the spirit of spring cleaning. One of the simplest and most productive things to clean out is a make up bag. For starters keep staples that you use year round, and replace seasonal products, that will go bad or out of style sitting at the bottom of a draw or make up bag. It is only necessary to keep the make up that you are using on a regular basis. One of the biggest mistakes that women make is not replacing mascara regularly, every three months. When it comes to lip gloss it is always good to have a nude shade on hand. It can be worn alone or used over another deeper color. But it is important to get rid of glosses after one year, because the color pigments will begin to separate. Also when you come across opened and used lips balms keep in mind that they are beauty product that is the most exposed to bacteria, and the easiest and least expensive to replace at any drug store. It is a good idea to always have a pack of oil blotting papers in any make up kit to keep your skin looking fresh and not oily even in humid or sticky weather. Once you have cleaned out the old products consider picking up an “eyebrow grooming kit”. They are available at all different price points and typically contain a small slanted brush, and tweezers, and two shades of brow powder, and a wax to set the powder and shape the eye brows. Just like the make up that they contain make up bags themselves can get old and worn. To reward yourself for cleaning and parting with some of your favorite products pick up new bag at sephora.
