5 Alternative Uses for Hairspray

COMMENTS

Hairspray is one of today's most famous hairstyling solutions. But did you know that, apart from preserving your many gorgeous hairstyles, hairspray has quite a number of alternative uses also? In this post I'll share 5 of these uses you probably never heard of, so read on.


1. Zipper Stiffener - Zippers have a tendency to unzip by themselves, especially if you're wearing a tight pair of jeans. Avoid this embarrassment by applying hairspray to your zipper. It will harden the zipper teeth's grip and lower the chances of an accidental exposure.

3. Fur Remover - You know how hard fur is to pick up when on the floor right? Well, to make things way easier, spray a good amount of hairspray on some tissue and scrub it on the scattered fur. It will capture them for sure!


4. Insecticide - Sick of flies, mosquitoes and other flying insects? Douse them with hairspray. The spray’s active ingredient will stiffen those insects’ wings and limbs, rendering them dead or at least paralyzed.


5. Ink Mark Remover - Hairspray’s sticky base, when rubbed, can fade ink marks off of fabrics and furniture. Spray it on the ink blots and blotches then scrub them with a rag or a toothbrush. Moments later, those stains will be no more!

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life."

Interview with: Krystle Karee

Ashleigh: When did your love for makeup begin?

Krystle Karee: Well it's something I've loved ever since I was young....I was always fascinated by it.

Ashleigh: How did you get started in your career of becoming a makeup artist and what tips do you have for others who aspire the same thing? 

Krystle Karee: I had a friend who was a young artist by the name of Delicious. She had a magazine photoshoot so she asked me to do her make-up because she realized I had a knack for it, so I did, and someone who worked at Bigyard at the time named Pansy suggested I go and get certified because she saw the talent and said she knew I would do well. The tip I have for an aspiring MUA is, talent speaks loudly so just stick with it, work on your craft, and find creative ways to promote yourself.

Ashleigh: What is the toughest part of your job?

Krystle Karee: Toughest part would be the long hours on my feet 

Ashleigh: What’s a typical day like for you?
 
Krystle Karee: My typical day starts out with a red bull and making sure my son gets fed and taken care of, and if I don't have a shoot to go on, I'm in front of my computer working on either my personal projects or whatever freelance graphic design projects I have.

Ashleigh: What celebs have you been working with recently?

Krystle Karee: Well I have recently done some work with Timberlee, Zj Liquid, Keida and Ishawna.

Ashleigh: What are your favourite makeup/cosmetics brands to work with?

Krystle Karee: I personally love Mac products, and on the more reasonable end, I like L'oreal H.I.P stuff also because of high pigmentation.

Ashleigh: If we peeked inside your makeup kit what would we find?

Krystle Karee: A bunch of palettes with my name on it, some Mac brushes, a ziplock freezer bag filled with H.I.P foundation, then you would get lost inside.

Ashleigh: What’s the one beauty item you can’t live without?

Krystle Karee: Lipgloss because a chapped lip is not a good look.
 



 Ashleigh: What is your favourite make-up tip that can be used by all women?

Krystle Karee: Just dap a bit of vaseline on your eye before you apply your eyeshadow.It helps the colors pop.

Ashleigh: What’s next in your career?

Krystle Karee: Well I'm a visual communicator first, then a make-up artist, so I have recently gotten into video directing, and so I'm just working on getting some more music videos out. You can find my make-up work in some of those videos like the ones done for Keida, and a promo video with Timberlee and Liquid.  My main focus is just working at bettering my craft and growing.

Ashleigh: Where can we find your work and contact you?

Krystle Karee: I have two fan pages on Facebook.

Hey readers, check out what this gorgeous 2011 Miss Jamaica Universe contestant Peta-Gaye Simpson's 10 beauty must-haves are!


1. Aloe Vera Gel - I use it everywhere!!! Skin and Hair... It's a great alternative to using the harsh gels and mousses on my hair, and for my skin its great if I have a blemish on my face or if I get sunburnt.

2. Neutrogena Naturals Lip Balm - I love this product because it doesnt have any harsh chemicals or dyes, and seeing that this is something that I use more than once a day I can appreciate that. And it's not greasy ♥

3. Clinique True Bronze Bronzer - This product is awesome because it gives me a nice natural sun kissed look when I use it, and the fact that its a pressed powder, it definitely makes it easier to use (controlled).

4. Maybelline Define-A-Line Eyeliner (Ebony Black) - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this eyeliner. Very smooth application and goes on nice and dark and lasts forever!

5. Covergirl Exact Eyelights mascara - This is a great mascara that I wear almost everyday, its not heavy at all, and it has light reflecting elements that are specific to each eye color and emphasizes it.


6. Shea Butter Socks from B&BW - I sleep in these every night (even though all the shea butter has prob washed out of it by now) I wake up in the mornings and my feet feel silky smooth and soft... It's like a "blankie" for my feet. LOL

7. Victoria Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss (Passion Fruit Pop) - This super yummy lipgloss is my fav! It gives the right amount of shine and looks good over any lipstick I wear.

8. Ecotools Lash & Brow Groomer - I love this product not only because it keeps my eyebrows nice and groomed, but also because of how it was made, using sustainable materials and it even comes with a nice handy case :)

9. Goody Slide Proof Black Bobbies - Ever wear bobby pins and they end up sliding out before you get to your party/event? Well it used to happen to me ALL THE TIME before I found these. Trust me they won't go ANYWHERE!

10. MAC Studio Fix NC45 - I love this because its a powder and foundation in one and its not heavy at all ♥
