I posted this review/tutorial over a year ago and it is still one of my most popular posts (thanks to Google and thanks to P&G for the lack of adequate instructions about opening that goshdarn battery compartment!).

Last Friday was the very 1st Frugal Fashion Friday where I encourage you all to post any tips, links, pictures, or whatever on my facebook page. Thank you to everyone who participated!

This post is a follow-up to The Magic’s in the Make-up vlog that I posted on Tuesday.
