The Internet Is Going Crazy Over Folks Microwaving Their Beauty Blenders.

There's  a  new  craze in the fashion world right now and this latest viral tip has really piqued my interest. The latest craze involves the ever-popular Beautyblender, a sponge tool used to apply foundation and other complexion-oriented products. The blender's porosity soaks up not only product, but also dirt, bacteria and other microbes.

While some users shared success stories after using this tip, others tried and failed. Whether it was forgetting to add water or having the setting too high, some people were pretty angry that

DMX Gets One Year In Prison For Tax Fraud.
