Being a jewelry lover is not an easy task.

Do not despair and learn to untangle your necklaces with these 5 ways

1. With the help of a needle

You need:

  • A needle
  • A flat surface
  • Good lighting

What you’re going to do:

  1. Once you find a flat surface with good lighting, place your collar on it and grab a needle.
  2. Carefully insert the needle into the center of the knot. Slowly move the needle to create space inside the knot. With this you are going to loosen the chains a lot. Be careful when maneuvering so as not to puncture yourself.
  3. Once you have more space, try using the needle to undo the knot completely. Gently pull the loops away from the center. Be very patient.
  4. Repeat this process until you can completely clear the knot.

2. With tweezers

This option is only in case of emergency. If you’re on a trip or all you have on hand is your makeup bag, use your tweezers to untangle your necklaces.

Need:

What you’re going to do:

  1. Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
  2. Very carefully, seriously very carefully, grab and separate the individual loops or chains that are causing the knots.
  3. Once the knot is loose, finish untangling with your fingers.

3. Hot water and dish soap

Only in case your jewelry is very fine or stainless steel, you should take this option into account. It is forbidden to do it with fantasy jewelry.

Need:

  • Hot water
  • Dish soap
  • A flat surface
  • Probably a needle
  • Good lighting

What you’re going to do:

  1. Soak your necklace for a few minutes in warm water and dish soap to help loosen the knot.
  2. If the chain is very tangled, gently rub the knot between your fingers.
  3. Once the knot is loose enough, you should be able to undo it with your fingers. If you can’t, try using a needle (repeat the steps we’ve already given).
  4. Dry gently with little touches.

4. Use baby oil

Believe it or not, baby oil is a great solution to untangle your necklaces. Like soap, it helps the chains loosen without the need to apply any external force.

Need:

  • Baby oil
  • Swabs
  • Hot water
  • A flat surface
  • Good lighting
  • Maybe a needle again

What you’re going to do:

  1. Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
  2. Dip a swab in baby oil. Use the swab to apply the baby oil over the knot, this will loosen the chain.
  3. For difficult knots, take your time and gently rub the knot between your fingers to loosen it. Use a needle if needed to help you.
  4. When you’re done, rinse the collar with warm water and mild soap. Gently pat dry.
  5. With talcum powder

This method can be a bit messy, so be prepared. Talc serves to make the loops easier to separate. It can also help prevent your chain from being damaged by friction.

Need:

  • Talc
  • Warm soapy water
  • A flat surface
  • Good lighting
  • Again, a needle

What you’re going to do:

  1. Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
  2. Sprinkle the talcum powder directly on the chain, anywhere there is a knot.
  3. Gently rub the knot between your fingers to loosen it (use a needle if necessary).
  4. Once you’re done, rinse the collar with warm water and mild soap and pat dry.

Upgrade Your Clean Girl Look With White Wine Energy Makeup

Published on by Lee1 Comment

If you are not ready to bid farewell to your summer glow, we’ve got some exciting news for you – you don’t have to. We’re all about embracing our natural, effervescent skin and letting it shine all year round. While the Clean Girl aesthetic has gained popularity, it’s time to take it up a notch with what TikTok is calling “white wine energy.” Matching your makeup looks to your favorite drink is nothing new, and creator Zoe Kenealy recently shared her take on embodying the essence of a glass of chardonnay within her makeup. With a focus on achieving fresh, dewy skin, this white wine energy makeup is perfect for your next night out.

The goal behind this makeup look is to recreate the clean, bubbly aesthetic that a refined glass of wine exudes. Thus, this all starts with a flawless, glowy base. Stick to cream and water-based products for a more natural look. When it’s time to contour, don’t be afraid to go all out – you want that post-summer glow to be front and center. A combination of the Fenty Beauty Contour Stick, followed by a sweeping of Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer will sculpt and warm up your face. Here’s a pro tip: Zoe utilizes a tinted lip balm as a blush base. It not only adds color but also creates a gorgeous shimmery effect. Then, layer a light dusting of a powder-based blush to make your cheeks pop.

By now, your skin should already be glowing, but that doesn’t mean our work is done. Using clean fingers, pop a pearl highlighter on the highest points of your face including cheekbones, brow bone, and nose bridge. Since this makeup is on the neutral side, you can complete your look with any lip color combination. If you’re unsure, a pinky-nude never fails. Just be sure to top it with a lustrous lip gloss to complement your glowing complexion.  

This white wine energy makeup look is so good that you’ll want to celebrate with a glass or two!
