Lost your luggage on a trip? Have no time/money to replace a product you used up? Simply need an easier way to go about things? I feel your pain and that is why I have built a list of helpful beauty hacks I have learned over the years. These things do wonders for me when I'm in a pinch and I hope they will do the same for you!
- Use tweezers to separate mascara-clumped lashes (but be careful not to poke your eye out!)
- Use a teeny tiny bit of hand lotion as a smoothing serum on fly away hairs
- Brush your lips with your toothbrush to get rid of flaky skin
- Use sugar and a little water as a face/body/lip scrub (or replace water with olive oil for a more moisturizing option)
- Use an oil (olive, almond, coconut, etc.) as a face/body lotion or hair mask
- Double your lip stick as a cheek tint and vise versa
- Use concealer two shades lighter than your foundation as a highlight
- Use tea tree oil on pimples to dry them out
- If you don't have tea tree oil use mouthwash
- Wet an eye liner brush and dip it in a dark shadow to create the look of gel liner
- Use petroleum jelly ("PJ", as mentioned in a previous post) as a brow gel
- Use baby powder to rid unwashed hair of grease
Best of luck,
Catie
