6 Tips To Keep Your Lipstick Smudge Free

The wearing of dark lipstick hues is about to kick into full gear with the fall season arriving. The biggest issue to tackle when wearing dark colors is the smearing or bleeding that can happen on your lips if you do not apply it correctly. If you want your lipstick to last throughout the day and look flawless then you will have to do a some prep-work.

Here are some tips to keep your lipstick smudge free this fall and winter season.

Step 1: Scrub your Lips: You do not want to apply anything on your lips until you are sure that your lips are smooth. You can purchase a Lip Scrub or you can create your own at home Lip Scrub by mixing a tablespoon of sugar and a drop of either olive oil or coconut oil together and massage on your lips with your finger tips and then gently remove with warm water.

Step 3: Primer: Seal and prepare your lips by applying a thin layer of a lip primer onto your lips evenly. The primer will maintain the lipstick from smearing or bleeding.

Step 4: Lip Pencil: Choose a lip pencil that can blend in with your lipstick hue. This should be applied first.

Step 5: Lipstick: When applying the lipstick apply the color to the inner line of the lip pencil line without applying the lipstick onto the lip liner. This technique will ensure that the lipstick will not smudge or bleed outside of the lip pencil area.

Step 6: Powder: Blot your lips with a tissue and dab your fingertip into translucent powder and gently dab onto your lips to set the lipstick into place.

They say flowers, allow your home and life to bloom with new things. Here is a quick DIY with a little St. Patrick’s Day theme.

1. I prepare my flowers by cutting the bottom tips and remove the leaves.
2. I then create a mock sample of what I want the flower bouquet to look like, I remove it, and save it on the side.
3. I chose to use General Mills Lucky Charms for this arrangement.
4. I place plastic wrap on the top of the small vase to help pour the lucky charms only into the large vase.
5. Once I completed pouring the lucky charms into the large vase, I then place my premade bouquet into the base and add water and flower food.
6. I then arrange the flowers with a bit of love, and then they’re all set.

Conquering my fears …
On our trip to Hawaii, the boys wanted to do excursions - swimming with the Dolphins was on the top of the list. Although I think dolphins are amazing animals I had an internal fear on how this can go wrong. You can’t see it in the picture but I was panicking inside. So HAPPY I had the experience. It was amazing! The staff was extremely supportive throughout the whole thing.
