How To: Make your bikini look amazing all summer long

 
 

Check these out, too...

Ah, swimsuits. We live in them every single day during the summer (even it’s just to dash around in the sprinkler!), but all that wear ‘n’ tear can do a number on even the best bikinis. Here’s how to save some cash and keep that suit in tip-top shape all season.

Tip #1: Rinse your bathing suits after every wearing
If you’re only in the water for a little, it’s easy to convince yourself that your bikini is still clean, but that’s because you can’t see the harmful chemicals building up from chlorine. So don’t take the risk—rinse your suit after every wearing.

Tip #2: Gently squeeze your bikini to remove extra water
Rather than wringing or twisting your bathing suit after swimming, gently squeeze it to avoid ruining its sweet shape.

Tip #3: Hand wash your suits in cold water
Using detergents and washing machines can trash the shape and fabrics of your fave bikini. As much as it’s a pain, treat your bathing suits well by gently cleansing them either by hand or on the lowest washing machine cycle.

Tip #4: Let your two piece dry naturally
To ensure that your bikini maintains its shape, lay the pieces flat to dry or hang them up rather than using a dryer. Unfortunately, the strong heat from your dryer can destroy the fabrics in your bathing suit so always air-dry them instead.

MODMODMOD What makeup would go with dull green eyes? They're not hazel but they are like a greyish green so what could I do with makeup to make them more green? Thanks!

 

Hey girl. Try a smoky eye, it's both flattering at mysterious.

I'm trying to change the pic on my profile but when I hit submit changes it stays the same. What am I doing wrong? And I have green eyes so what makeup would bring them out because they're kind of a dull green Thanks




Hey babe! Your profile is private so I can't change your profile pick, but if you report yourself I can go on and remove it then you can put in a new one. Try a lilac colored shadow, don't go overboard or you'll look funny. But purples and golds will bring out the green in your eye wonderfully! Also, try using a purple or green eyeliner. xoxo

I need to find wedges for school, I'm starting high school this year, and I wanna boost my height a little bit, but I want it to be an appropriate heel height. Where can I find them, and how high should they be? Thanks Smile




Hey girl, that's a tough call. I'd keep it to three inches at max. Try Payless or even Urban Outfitters.

xoxo

I hate how the butt of some of my swim bottoms gets all saggy after a lot of use...but oh well, another reason to go shopping for a new bikini I guess.
