They can be used for so much more than getting rid of redness. Put 6-7 drops into your mascara when its starting to dry up to give it a few more days of use or dip your eye shadow brushes into them before picking up your shadow to add serious color pigmentation and hold.
2. Don't be afraid to mix your products
Feel free to get creative with your beauty products.
- If you are you going for a more subtle look but want more coverage than your BB cream provides, mix it with a pump of foundation. You won't feel like you have a bunch of product on your face, but you won't bee makes either.
- Is your skin looking extra flawless but you don't wan a go bare faced? Mix some primer with your BB cream to even out that skin tone.
- If you want to give your skin a nice glow for a special occasion, add a few drops of illuminator to your foundation. Just want a glow without a full face of make-up? Mix some illuminator with your moisturizer.
3. Greasy hair be gone
If you're like me and your hair gets greasy easily, only put conditioner from the shaft of your hair to the ends, leaving it out of the roots and scalp. This will keep it from getting greasy the day after you wash it.
4. Dark circles hate salmon-hued concealers
Mix a salmon-hued concealer with the one you already put under your eyes, to coverup harsh dark circles with no fuss. If you don't want to go spend money on yet another concealer, salmon lip stick works too, just dab it under your eyes before you apply your concealer.
5. Lemon Juice is more than delicious
Suffering from dark elbows or knees? Cut a lemon in half and rub it on the areas your concerned with once a day; follow up with moisturizer and watch that darkness fade.
6. The microwave is a beauty tool
Microwave your body lotion for 5-10 seconds, making sure the oils don't separate and that it isn't too hot; this makes it work twice as well in combating dry skin, especially in these cold winter months.
7. Olive oil and laundry detergent? Yes please!
Use this mixture to deep clean and condition your brushes at home. The laundry detergent breaks down the oil in foundation, while the Olive oil keeps the brush hair conditioned and soft on skin. Make sure you reshape your brushes before you set them down to dry.
8. Bye, Bye puffiness
Freeze your used green tea bags and place them under you eyes to get rid of any puffiness. Allow them sit for 5-10 minutes and watch them work their magic.
9. Butter your own body
While there are great body butters available in stores, the ones with good ingredients are usually pretty expensive. Go on any bargain website (I like Amazon.com) and order yourself some 100% natural and organic fruit or nut butters. Any combination is amazing, but I like to get Mango butter, Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Coconut Butter, Aloe Butter, and Avocado butter. Empty the containers into a large pot on low heat, melting each one slowly before adding the next. Once all the butters are melted together completely, put it in the fridge to chill. After it has cooled off for about 20-25 minutes, use a mechanical whisk and whip it up. You can put the new whipped body butter deliciousness into the original containers, and now you have a ton of great quality product, at a bargain price.
10. No shaving cream? No problem.
Shaving cream is one of those products you run out of at the worst possible times; like while your in the shower about to shave your legs. Don't fret though, there are tons of substations that work as well if not better. You can use some regular conditioner, baby oil, or my personal favorite, baby oil gel.
