LIPSTICK LONGEVITY photos + post by amy nadine, graphic design by eunice chun How could I not share with our TBD family my favorite trick for keeping clients’ lip colors on all night, long past the red carpet? Some steps may seem a little odd, but they’ve worked for me for years, so I confidently know that they’ll work for you too. Here’s all you have to do: STEP ONE: Apply lipstick or matte lip pencil over the entire lip area. My favorites are Bite Beauty High-Pigment Pencils {she’s wearing Poppy above} and Tarte Matte Natural Lip Stains (Fiery is also an amazing matte red} because they’re formulated like matte lipsticks but with easier precision. STEP TWO: Blot with a tissue by folding it in half, opening your mouth, placing it in between your upper and lower lips then pressing down. STEP THREE: Load up an eyeshadow blending brush with loose or pressed powder {translucent works best and if you want to invest in the most finely milled powder that feels like silk, this one is my favorite}.

You grab your camera to capture the glorious mess, then set about cleaning it all up. But what do you do with the mushed up chunk of lipstick left in the tube? Or what do you do with your lipstick when you’ve accidentally mashed it with the lid? It should come as no surprise that The Tightwad Gazette has a solution for you: I’m loving this idea! I keep large amounts of coconut oil on hand at all times. This process is so simple! lipstickcoconut oilempty containers (*I used little sample jars I received from a department store beauty counter.

Yogi’s Daily TO DO List Lifestyle Published on March 14th, 2012 | by Guest Contributor Self-transformation, reinvention, or just dropping a bad habit don’t happen overnight. This month’s theme at Modern Hippie Mag is adventure, transformation and evolution. But instead of sharing my adventurous and transformative stories in my life, I would like to share with you my every day TO DO list that has allowed me to reinvent myself. Most of my daily reinvention rules come from the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Give thanks to the Universe (or God if you call it that way) for allowing you to wake up another day and for all the blessings in your life (family, friends, work, food on your table, love, health…). Question to you: what is on your daily to-do list? Namaste. Image courtesy of Jennifer Morales was born and raised in beautiful Veracruz, Mexico.
