The little nasty make-up bag caked with broken blush fragments, used q-tips, broken eye brow brush, powder-coated stick of Dentyne… We’ve all been there, right?

Some of us glam divas take vast amounts of pride in our make-up collections.  Colors, formulas, and products for every occasion just floating around with us; we are saddened beyond belief on days when we reach in for just the lip-gloss. Old mascara (which is just BAD BAD BAD for the health of your eyes) and the 87 “Gift With Purchase” lipsticks (different names=same color…hmmmm….) are only slowing our beautification rituals.

Here’s my advice, Vixens…

1.) Throw some of that old crappity crap-crap away, already!!!!!!!  Y’know, make-up is like fish & company; it doesn’t get better the longer it hangs around.

2.) Update your cosmetic carry-all!  I *adore* the clear ones…they make it so much easier to find that MAC Rage after knocking back a few.  On the GREEN tip, wash your old bag with a little warm, soapy water and hang to dry…VIOLA! Refreshed and ready to go.

3.) End your make-up tool denial, dolls.  If it’s ratty, broken, or just generally trippin’, pitch it.  After a certain age, it’s time to invest in some proper tools.  Gal up & just do it.

4.) Have an “heir” & a “spare”.   The heir is your main, everyday, all-purpose, old faithfuls.  The spare is your Friday night, court date, random self-portrait, or cousin’s shotgun wedding stash.

Feng Shui is all about clearing the bad energy out so that the good vibes can flow. Making room for the new is good for the soul…which will show on your face!
