The Weapon EVERY Woman Should Have In Her Arsenal

I discovered something awesome in my April Birchbox.

For those who don't know, Birchbox is a subscription service that ships a small box with awesome beauty & fashion samples each month for only $10 (s&h included). The samples are specialty, high-end, and sometimes are actually full-size products. It's a great way to try out lots of beauty products without paying a lot of dough.

What did I discover that's so awesome?!? Hollywood Fashion Secrets Fashion Tape.

When I opened my Birchbox, I noticed the Fashion Tape Assortment Sample Pack, but didn't think too much about it. A couple of days later, however, I was getting dressed in my new lace tank top and noticed that the front kept slowly sliding forward, exposing more of my decolletage than I desired.

Typically, when I have one of these type problems I do one of two things: throw on a tank top underneath or grab a couple of small safety pins and pin the shirt to my bra straps. The whole tank thing wouldn't work under this particular shirt, so I started to grab 2 safety pins when I noticed the Fashion Tape Assortment Sample Pack sitting on my vanity.

I flipped the little package open and was pleased to discover a "smile shaped" piece of Fashion Tape that looked perfect for holding up the front of my top. I quickly read the directions and did a positioning trial run.

The directions state that you should use the tape on clean, oil-free skin. I'd already applied lotion after my shower, so I wasn't sure about whether it would work or not. I grabbed a dry cloth and did a quick rub on my chest where I wanted to apply the tape. I hoped for the best and stuck the tape to my skin. Then I peeled the backing off the other side and firmly pressed my top to the tape.

I half expected it to not work. I'm super pleased to say that it worked like a charm! Even with the lotion residue still on my skin. I kept checking my top, expecting it to stop holding, but it did wonderfully. Happily, it stayed right where I put it.

When it was time to remove my shirt, I was a tad worried about the removal being painful (I was melodramatically thinking of surgical tape being ripped off after an IV). BTW, the directions do tell you not to use the Fashion Tape on sunburned, irritated or sensitive skin. I'm glad to report that it wasn't painful at all. Not at all.

Can you see where the "pull" of tape, shirt & skin right above my pointer finger?

See how the clear tape looks on the inside of my shirt.

I pulled the shirt off and then removed the tape with no problems.
