I’m going to sound really shallow when I say this but hey, breaking this MSF was one of the most devastating moments of my life. I actually cried. Sad, I know, but hey it cost me a fair few pennies!
As you have probably already guessed, the first mini montage of pictures is of my MAC Wonder Woman mineralise skin finish in all it’s brand new glory back in March, when it was all still in one piece. All I can at is that I was pretty ‘lucky’ that the highlighter sections didn’t fall out, otherwise, I would have been pretty screwed.
After I had mourned my beloved bronzer, ahaha, memories of numerous ‘how to fix powder make-up’ videos came flooding back! I watched a few & noticed that everyone was using something called ‘rubbing’ alcohol to, in effect, stick the powder back together. I then got all sad again because I didn’t have any of this ‘rubbing’ alcohol & I read somewhere that regular alcohol like vodka doesn’t work. :( Anyway, after sulking for a little while longer, I remembered that hand sanitiser has alcohol in it! YAY! I wasn’t sure if it would work but I thought I would try it anyway, just to see… & IT FREAKING WORKED LIKE A DREAM!!! ^_^ (even though it looks like a smeary poop.)
Moral of the story kids…don’t kick your make-up bag half way across the room when your angry, you will break your stuff! lol
Speak soon <3

Oh I would have cried too! I once dropped something and wanted to put it back together but I didn't know how to do it. I wouldn;t have thought of hand sanitiser! I will next time lol xx
ReplyDeleteDefinitely would have cried too! Glad you fixed it, and the hand sanitiser idea is ingenius! Will definitely keep it in mind xx

Good save, I hate when make up accidents happen like when I close lipsticks without twisting them down -It's a bad habit.
ReplyDeleteI would have also cried - you're not alone! Thats a pretty good trick as it looks really good at the end xxx
