Hey guys! I know being naturally beautiful is no problem for all of you. But, if you're like us, you need a few beauty pick-me-ups from time to time. And we know that those can get pretty pricey at times. But, we have learned ways to take care of some of your beauty needs with three drugstore staples. These products are a bargain and have multiple uses. Enjoy and stay beautiful!!
Product #1: Cotton Swabs
1. Desmudge: Dip one in makeup remover to erase goofs.
2. Create a cat eye: Use one to stretch liner up and out.
3. Soften a lip-liner edge: Run it over the outside of the line.
4. Tame heavy eyeliner: Or just perfect your work.
5. Do a bedroom eye: Apply eyeliner, then remove some.
6. Lighten up: Dip it in illuminator to highlight cheekbones.
7. Camouflage darkness: Dab brightening powder under eyes and around nostrils.
8. Remove fake lashes: Saturate a swab in makeup remover; wiggle across the base of the fake to peel it off gently.
9. Hide zits: Dab powder over concealer to keep it in place.
10. Get your money's worth: Dig a swab into any almost-empty jar of precious product. Every penny counts!
Product #2: Toothbrush
1. Get rid of flyaways: Dab hair gel on the bristles, then smooth along your hairline.
2. Exfoliate lips: Wet the brush, and gently rub over lips.
3. Whip up a face mask: Use it to mix ingredients and apply.
4. Groom brows: Spritz the bristles with hairspray!
5. Dye brows: Dip it in hair color, and brush through brows. (Leave dye on for 3-5 minutes.)
6. Try a laid-back 'do: Spray hair with dry shampoo; back-comb with the brush.
7. Clean Under Nails: Skip the expensive nail brush and go for the cheaper and just as effective toothbrush.
8. Fix mascara: Nix globs.
9. Remove hair-color stains: Dip the brush in shampoo, and gently scrub around your hairline.
10. Brush teeth: Duh...
Product #3: Petroleum Jelly
1. Glossy eyes: Put a small amount over shadow—or even on bare lids—for chic shine.
2. Boost lashes: Dab on lashes and brows before bed to keep them supple and strong.
3. Moisturize lips: All day.
4. Protect skin while coloring hair: Apply around your hairline to prevent staining.
5. Soften cracked heels: Coat feet at night, put on cotton socks, wake up smooth.
6. Chisel cheeks: Pat a (tiny!) bit onto cheekbones.
7. Nourish nails: Massage into cuticles to soften them.
8. Undo foundation overkill: Tap it along skin to break it up.
9. Sooth cold-inducing chapping: It beats fancy creams for the dry skin around the nose—those can sting.
10. If you don't use jelly: Make a flavored lip gloss. Mix with Kool-Aid!
