You can literally save yourself hundreds of dollars with this handy, eco-friendly ‘how to save your make-up cosmetics’- tip!  I bet you have some broken cosmetics laying around. You know those special items that you just could not throw out. That might have been because it was your favorite make-up. Or, simply because it’s still rather new and you paid a lot for it.  Not that I use the word make-up and cosmetics a bit inter-changeable.   I’m referring here from anything ranging from compact blush to powder to eye shadow.
