Dish sponges don’t last super long with all that bacteria jumping, at the chance to grow.

But, lengthen the life span by washing with soap, rinse really well, and put into the microwave (as long as they are metal free) for 30 seconds.

This will kill the bacteria and give new life back to the sponge.

Nail polish remover can be tall and unable to stand upright in a drawer or cabinet. A good way to store nail polish remover, is to put it in a sealing sandwich bag. It will keep the nail polish remover from damaging anything, if it should happen to leak.

Storing other items like clippers, nail file and cotton balls along with it can be a great way to keep items all together, and make it already for traveling.

There actually is a right way and a wrong way to cover up blemishes, on the skin. If using a liquid foundation, don’t smear it on, pat it on by allowing air to combine with the makeup, it  gives a more natural appearance.

If you are trying to cover up a specific area, using a coverup stick, concealer or liquid foundation is effective for most. Apply to your finger or applicator and blot into the blemish. It gives a longer lasting camouflage to the area.

Remember, if you are using your fingers to apply your makeup, the shelf life of the makeup lessens, rather than, using an applicator. (Help lengthen the life of makeup, by washing hands first before applying)

If you are having trouble with foundations and cover-ups effecting your skin in a bad way, try going with a more natural product like, the one’s that green and glam has to offer.

(SIDE NOTE: If you have kids, it’s inevitable, your girls will probably  play with your makeup. They have Eco Princess line of organic and natural play make up products, for girls. So teach them, that the earlier the young faces learn proper skin care, the longer, great skin will last throughout their lifetime.)
