Beauty Tip Tuesday

In beauty we all get excited to try new products and buy the latest makeup, but the truth is that you can save a bunch of money by using these tricks that have been around forever.

What are some of the easiest and most useful beauty tips out there? I compiled a list of some of the tips that you may not know about or have just clearly forgotten about.

♥ Believe it or not our skin craves different things depending on time of the year. So change up your beauty routine based on the seasons. In the winter, add more moisturizing creams and in the summer ensure you are using a lot of SPF.

♥ If you happen to run out of nail polish remover, you can remove it by applying a clear top to the nail and remove it with a cotton ball.

♥ Using a product with witch hazel or azulene helps prevent getting ingrown hairs. When you do get one adjust the hair with a pair of tweezers. Whatever you do, do not pluck it out because that will only make the ingrown hair regrow in the same direction.

♥ Shave your legs or underarms in the shower after standing in the hot water for a few minutes. This helps open up your hair follicles and will soften hairs so they are less coarse.

♥ Use hairspray and a spooly to set your brows, instead of going out and buying a special product to set them in place.

♥ DIY acne fighting spray. Buy an empty spray bottle in the travel section and fill it up with some bottled water and a bit of tea tree oil. It is good to refresh your face and even set your makeup while it fights acne.

♥ Many know that you have to replace your mascara every three months, but if you want it to last longer fill it up with a bit of eye contact solution to prevent from drying...Also a good tip is to opt out for a new tube and make sure to keep the tube tightly sealed.

♥ Use an oil-based makeup remover even if you have oily skin type. Using an oil-based product can actually improve your epidermis' condition, the reason is because over-cleaning stimulates the sebum glands, which causes skin to over-produce oil. Using oil-based products will have the opposite effect.

15 Beauty Tips

There are endless beauty tips, in the world of beauty to keep you looking great. Below are some tips that I would love to share and if you have any that I did not mention please feel free to share.

1. Always wash your makeup brushes, to fight against potential bacteria and breakouts.

2. Want to get voluminous hair in the morning? Tie your hair into a loose high pony tail. This lifts your hair off the scalp, resulting in more height at the roots.
3.  Manicure with shimmery shades, your manicure will last longer because of the stronger resin.

4. Key to a really good fake tan is to exfoliate correctly before application. It gives a clean, smooth and even base for the product to work properly.
5. Finish your nail lacquer application with a horizontal stroke at the top to seal the polish and prevent chipping.
6. Use a lipstick as a cream blush.
7. Can't seem to hold the volume up in the crown area? Try crimping pieces of you hair underneath and spray hairspray. Let it dry then brush through it as usual.
8. Use two different face cleansers. A heavy duty one in the evening and a milder one in the mornings.

9. To make your lips appear fuller, take a white eyeliner or white eyeshadow and highlight the cupid's bow. I do this all the time in my makeup routine.
10. Have oily skin like me? Well take some napkins and take them apart where you have two small pieces and blot your face with them. It's free and it works just like blotting papers.
11. Run your eyelash curler under hot water or blast it with a dryer before using it to get a curlier result that lasts. Perfect for those night outs where you want to look your best.

12. Mix in a bit of your favorite foundation onto your moisturizer and voila you have tinted moisturizer.

13. If you have fine baby hair, dry shampoo would become your new BFF. Even after washing it spray a bit onto your roots to give a lift that lasts all day.
14. If you get yellow nails after wearing dark lacquers, try scrubbing with a nail brush and whitening toothpaste.
15. My all time favorite beauty tip, is mixing your lotion with a bit of olive oil or baby oil for baby soft an all over soft sheen.
