Pantyhose to the rescue

So, you're getting ready, you've got your outfit on already and darn it all ... you spill some powder on yourself. Before surrendering and changing your outfit, try rubbing it with some pantyhose. But, more importantly than make-up, pantyhose are great for getting white deodorant stains off of clothes. I got this tip from Giella, a friend of mine who has her own make-up line (my favorite product is that she can match any old favorite lipstick/lip-gloss).

I rarely wear pantyhose (and even when it's required, I avoid it like the plague — tall boots with skirts, pants, etc.) Despite my hatred for this undergarment, I always have some on hand because it’s the easiest way to get rid of make-up stains, and because I’m the kind of person who saves bad white wine for possible red wine stains.

So, a few weeks back, I was packing for my friend's wedding and saw that my rehearsal dinner dress had white pit stains (I'd had it tailored but forgot to have it dry cleaned as well). Pantyhose to the rescue!

I think this is an awesome tip for Organic Freedoms because they're the least likely to have a morning routine set-up to prevent make-up from getting all over your clothes. But, as I'm a Classic, I'll say that this has happened to me before because I often don't want to get dressed post make-up as it might smudge, etc.

Now if only someone had a trick for when you're brushing your teeth and dribble toothpaste on your outfit ... ooh, I just had an idea. I think tomorrow's tip might work on that kind of stain. Stay tuned!

Best for Organic Freedoms but Good for All

You can also get the deodorant marks out by simply rubbing the fabrice together into itself. I learned this from my loved ones involved in NYC Fashion Week.

This morning I was kicking myself for not adding to today's tip that you can also use the fabric on itself to get off random smudges and deodorant marks! Thanks so much for posting.
