How to Save Your Make-up Cosmetics

You are here: Home / Accessories / How to Save Your Make-up Cosmetics

January 17, 2012 By Rose Fine Crafts 1 Comment

You can literally save yourself hundreds of dollars with this handy, eco-friendly ‘how to save your make-up cosmetics’- tip!  I bet you have some broken cosmetics laying around. You know those special items that you just could not throw out. That might have been because it was your favorite make-up. Or, simply because it’s still rather new and you paid a lot for it.  Not that I use the word make-up and cosmetics a bit inter-changeable.   I’m referring here from anything ranging from compact blush to powder to eye shadow.

Well, you no longer need to be sad, as there’s no need to throw it away anymore. This step by step photo explains exactly how you can recover your make-up. In essence, what you’ll need is a few drops of rubbing alcohol, a bit of rubbing, and a day of patience. How easy and inexpensive is that?!!

Yippee. I’m so excited. Can’t wait to try this with my gorgeous (but broken!) Guerlain purple eye shadow. I just loathed to throw out such expensive cosmetics.
