Beauty Quickie: How to Remove Glitter Makeup

Glitter makeup… it is all fun and games until little bits of cosmetic confetti keeps dropping into your eyeball! We understand, the look itself is indeed stunning. Moreover, it is becoming even more sought after due to coming back “en vogue.” Models, Instagram socialites and renown mua (Makeup Artist) Pat Mcgrath are leading the fabulous sparkle charge. However, what happens once the fun and music ends? Removing glitter makeup after a night of slaying can be a real pain in the rump. Therefore, what is the method for easy glitter removal?

How to Remove Glitter Makeup

Shine bright like diamond… for hours and days. If you have ever attempted to wipe away or wash away sparkly eye or lip makeup you may have been in for a surprise. Yes, most likely a good 90 percent left your face, but the other 10 stayed around for the after party.

Easy removal begins with a good base. Before applying glittery eye or lip makeup be sure to swipe on a base of Vaseline first. Once your base is in place then you can get glitzy! Clean up any excess sparkly makeup using Scotch tape in order to give your eye or lips look a more clean finish.

Moreover, at the end of the night you can once again let Scotch tape come to your rescue. Use the tape to pick up any glitter bits. Now one might say, “Can’t I just use one of my trusty makeup removal wipes?” Oh you can but a wipe will most likely just move any particles around instead of wiping them up and away. So then, remember dolls use a good base as well as some tape and you can escape any glitter makeup removal issues.

Get Your Man Right: Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

From the day they are toddlers young boys are constantly told, “Tuck in your shirt!” Why is that? Of course, its because for one mom knows best, but also it just looks posh. That smart lady knew that in order to accomplish a neat and tidy look, her son needed his shirt to remain tucked. Nice looking, yes, but extremely comfortable, not always. That is where the ingenious brand, Untuckit comes into play. They are bringing sexy back, without sacrificing comfort.

Get Your Man Right: Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Boys as they get older grow out of many things. Toys, shoes, various video games, crushes, yet the desire to be comfy never fades. Untuckit solves this little issue for your MCM with a collection of shirts that are fashionable and look good even untucked.

This thought alone will make any guy want to pop a bottle and make it rain. Here is more good news… these are shirt designs that work in causal settings as well as formal. GASP! The key here is all about the fit. If the fit is too big, your guy will look unkempt. Furthermore, if it too tight, well, sausage party anyone?

Untuckit shirts fall at just the perfect length. We are actually HUGE fans of the length because it works for comfort reasons as well as accessibility. The hem of the shirt will fall right around the pockets above where the zipper ends. Since most guys do not carry their valuables in handbags like us women do; they will love this aspect a lot. The shirt is an acceptable length without getting in the way of reaching for something like a wallet or chapstick.

Untuckit -Shirts Designed to be Worn Untucked

Here are a few our styling tips for guys. If your guy loves the thought of rocking the untucked look with denim he should opt for a dark rinse. A darker rinse jean is universally flattering. It instantly creates a more slimming effect. Untuckit boasts so many different designs your guy is bound to find a shirt that matches his personal tastes. Also, if he sticks to the darker rinse it will be easier pair.

Moreover, if he chooses to wear a jacket make sure that the hem of shirt does not extend past the length of his coat. If it does it will make his ensemble look messy and kind of disheveled. Keep these things in mind and you will definitely Get Your Man Right.

Do you ever wish you could just give your skin a drink? There are many reasons why dry skin can suddenly occur. For instance, during wintertime the air contains less moisture thus vacuuming up any hydration in your skin.

L’Oreal is here to save the skincare day. This year get your hands on the L’Oreal Hydra Fresh Genius Water. A mist that contains thousands of water bursting bubbles. This product is apart of a complete system designed to give you watery-smooth skin all day long.

Our girl Maria Borges has been tapped to star in the brand’s 2017 ad campaign. Borges hit up social with the awesome news stating, “Bon jour! Kicking off 2017 with a new campaign for L’Oreal Paris!” Immediately, the love began pouring in because the campaign photo is absolutely stunning.

Borges is no stranger to L’Oreal skincare; she uses the products freely and shares the wealth with her girlfriends. Moreover, on Instagram Maria was seen using L’Oreal’s clay mask. Nevertheless, if you ever go to purchase them remember that the three different masks serve three different purposes. Here’s a cheat sheet:

  • Black: Detox and Brighten
  • Green: Purify and Matify
  • Red: Exfoliate and Glow
