DIY: How to De-pot Lipsticks

So many lipsticks, yet so little space. Learn how to make room for all of your favourite lip candies by following 4 simple steps.




First things first! Here are the materials you're going to need:
      • A lipstick (of course!)
      • Toothpicks
      • A stainless spoon (something you won't miss, since you can't use it again)
      • A candle
      • Stackable glass container (where you'll put the melted lipstick)

Et voilĂ ! A more compact home for your lippies!



TIP: 
Take out the label from the bottom of the original lipstick tube and stick it to its' new glass container so if someone asks you what brand and shade you're wearing, you'd still know where to look for it.



I hope you find this DIY helpful. If you know more ways and techniques on how to de-pot lipsticks please so share it with me by commenting below.

DIY: Dip Dyed Acessories

Do you have an old piece of jewelry or accessory that just doesn't look as cool as it did before? Don't toss it out just yet! Not until you try dip-dyeing all of them!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

STEP 1: Dab some white polish on the sponge.




STEP 2: Dab the white polish all over until it covers the whole jewelry, it will serve as a base coat so the next colors you apply will show up better.




STEP 3: Apply the first color. You can choose whatever shade you want to use. If you're planning to use 3 or more colors like what I'm doing, it's easier if you apply the 'transition color' first, which goes right in the middle part. In my case, it's purple.




STEP 4: Dab/paint on the rest of the colors on both sides. 



And voila! 
A new piece of jewelry!
