"Last week Petra mentioned a tool that takes the mess out of applying mascara to bottom lashes&amp;amp;#8212;a problem that I&amp;amp;#8217;ve never considered before. And what should come across my desk today? Another handy fix-it for this very issue: Shadow Shields. You stick one beneath your lower lashes before applying shadow, liner or mascara and it magically captures any fallout. Simply peel it off when you&amp;amp;#8217;re done and (voila!) your under eye area is fresh and clean. I put them to the test with gold shadow and black mascara. But at $16.95 for a pack of 50 stickers, they seem a bit pricey. Luckily, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve discovered a free alternative: mini Post-it notes&amp;amp;#8212;they cost you nada when you swipe them from the office supply closet. The only downsides: They don&amp;amp;#8217;t stick as well and they look absolutely ridiculous. Do you have any cheapie beauty tricks? Check me out in Shadow Shields (left) and my cheapie alternative (right). "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
