Spring cleaning doesn't have to be limited to the garage and wardrobe--your makeup bag deserves a beauty overhaul, too. Warmer weather means transitioning to a lighter and fresher beauty routine. We've got 5 simple tips for rebooting your regimen. 

1. Use highlighter. They may not be on your beauty priority list, but highlighters and luminizers are a great alternative to heavy foundations because they conceal redness and hyper-pigmentation. Dab it on places that catch the light (think cheekbones, collarbone) for natural luminosity.
2. Try a new perfume. Even our signature eau de parfums can get musty after months of use. Check out all the new summer scents. A clean, fruity body mist can give a scent that's seasonally appropriate.
3. Double your sun protection. We're always SPF advocates, but the summer months call for doubling our dosage. Haven't tried Susan Posnick's new Brush On Block? The SPF 30 custom-blend is way too easy (and protective!) not to consider. Simply sweep it on and you're set to go.
4. Swap your lipcolor for lighter tones or gloss. We love rich, dark lipcolor, but consider lightening up for summer. Give shiny glosses, nude tones, or lustrous lipstains in spring's pink palettes a try.
5.  Commit to one healthy lifestyle change. This may go beyond the barriers of our makeup bags, but health and beauty are one in the same. If you know you don't get those 8 glasses of water a day, why not try it now? If you're sick of breaking out--and buying yet another 'miracle cream' at the drugstore--incorporate omega-3-rich oils, blueberries, salmon, and nuts into your diet. When health and beauty woes intersect, making a lifestyle change might be the perfect addition to your daily routine.

    Jessica Gisselle / Now this is going to sound kinda funny but here is my lttile list of how to make my lips a lttile more plump (It really works too)1. Try brushing your lips GENTLY with a toothbrush2. When you put on lip gloss put extra on the bottom middle of your lip and the top middle. (This will give your lips a fuller effect.3. Outline your lips with a nude lip liner, then put lip gloss on.4. Try Sally Hansens thin lip collagen boost. Now this does not exactly plump your lips but it gives your lips a fuller look (Especially when you Put lip gloss over it).Good Luck!!Hope this helps a lttile.

    First, find out who to write to someone with auhitrtoy such as director or vice-pres or, at least, manager, of either marketing or customer service/relations type departments. Then, start letter with introduction such as My name is .and I am a student at I am taking courses in .with the hopes of making ..my career when I leave school. Then, explain that you are writing to ask for their help in some experiments you are planning. Then tell them exactly what your experiments are going to be and what results you are looking for. THEN ask if there is any way you could get samples of their (be specific) products. For example, for my experiments to be a success, I would need 50ml of hand cream . You might then offer to send your results to them If it would be of interest to you, I would be happy to send you a copy of the results of these experiments in gratifude for your help. Then you thank them for any assistance you can give me in the success of my experiments . Yours truly .. Now for some really important advice -read it over and over and get someone else to also read it to make sure no spelling or grammar errors don't trust spellcheck to catch them all as it can't nothing turns off business people more than a sloppy begging letter or job resume!!! I know because I was a manager for many many years at one of the world's largest corporations pls trust me on this. Best of luck with both your letters and your experiments.
