LIPSTICKS: sanitize and organize

Always-always disinfect your lipsticks if you plan on using them on other people, even if it was just one swatch on your hand. This is also a good idea if you have been using your lipstick while being sick.

Here is how I do it:

Step 1
Wipe the lipstick down. Some people even cut a top piece off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2
Take a glass and fill it with 90% alcohol.

 

 

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Step 3

Dip your lipstick into the alcohol. Hold for 30-40 seconds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Step 4
Wipe it down again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Let it dry naturally

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And voila, your lipstick is safe to use!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I chose these wearable and universally flattering shades of lipsticks for my kit and depotted them into small round containers from a crafts store (beads section).

 

This is a mixture or Rimmel, Jordana, Wet'n'Wild, PUPA and Art Visage.

I sprayed the knife and a stainless steel palette with alcohol, cut lipsticks into chunks and smashed into the pots. Nothing fancy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looks cute, though. And it is also very convenient.

 

I hope that was helpful!
