Broken Lipstick Lid? Make a new lipstick lid out of duct tape!

Not all lipsticks lids are created equal. Some lids are strong and well made while others are just plain junk!

I find more expensive lipsticks have better quality packaging. But, I love my low priced lipstick brands.

Those cheap lids can crack and break apart so much, they fall right off the lipstick tube.

I have taped the lids on which is annoying and looks trashy. I have used old lipstick lids that I've saved to replace broken lids. The problem with that is, sometimes you can't find an old lid to fit.

I have another solution for you. Make a new lid out of duct tape! People make all kinds of things out of duct tape wallets, mini purses, picture frames, even hammocks. The list goes on and on. Why not a lipstick lid? That's just what I did and it came out fantastic! I used black duct tape but you could use any color or pattern. I bet animal print duct tape would look super cute!

This is a very inexpensive project. All you need is a lipstick tube, duct tape and scissors. You can also use a ruler if you are not good at judging lengths.

Duct Tape:
Cut 3 pieces of duct tape 3 inches long.
Cut 1 piece of duct tape into a 3/4 inch square.

Directions:
Step 1:
Wrap the first 3 inch piece of duct tape around the lipstick tube sticky side facing out.

Step 2:
Wrap the second 3 inch piece on top of the first, sticky side down leaving about 1/4 inch of the first piece showing at the bottom.

Step 3:
Make a vertical cut in that 1/4 inch overhang.

Step 4:
Then fold it back.

Step 5:
Wrap the third piece of duct tape around the lipstick tube covering the seam from the folded back piece. Make this piece a little tight.

Step 6:
Make four vertical cuts in sticky end.

Step 7:
Fold down the flaps.

Step 8:
Put the square piece of duct tape over the folded flaps.

That's it. Quick and easy peasy. Now you have a make shift lipstick lid to replace your broken or lost lipstick lid! I find it stays on the lipstick tube really well, even in my makeup bag.

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps. They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite. Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
