Trouble Staying in the Lines?

Like me, do you have trouble staying in the lines when painting toenails and fingernails?  If so, next time use a bobby pin to clean up the edges.  Simply dip the end of your bobby pin in nail polish remover then trace along your cuticles to remove excess color.

Tissue Paper Your Wand

Want to un-clump your mascara wand? Use tissue paper to wipe it clean. It cleans well and doesn't leave lint on the brush like a facial tissue would.
I try to keep a small scrap of used tissue paper in my makeup drawer. Currently, I'm out. This post will serve as a reminder for me to go in the attic and get some down!
