Want
to know more? Well, you're in luck because today we're on the hunt for
untapped beauty resources and resourceful secrets and, if I do say so
myself, the process has been fruitful. Click on and see...
1. DIY matte nail polish.
Beauty guru Michelle Phan said,
"If I'm making soup or boiling pasta, I'll put on two quick coats of
nail polish. While they're still wet, I'll hold my nails for three
seconds over the steam coming from the simmering food, keeping them
about 5 inches above the water. Then I watch the magic happen: my glossy
painted nails turn matte-sexy."
2. Want to know one of the simplest ways to avoid/clear up acne?
Wash your pillowcases! Often.
3. Let's just say it ... foot odor sucks.
For a natural approach to alleviating this issue, try a black tea footbath.
What you need to do: boil two tea bags in two cups of water for 15
minutes and then remove them and dilute the tea with approximately 2
liters of water. Let the liquid cool down if necessary, then soak your
feet for 30 minutes. Repeat this process daily. The tannic acid in
strong black tea kills bacteria and closes pores, making your feet sweat
less. Oh, and you might as well add some flowers in to make it even
prettier!
4. BB cream (tinted moisturizer) isn't just for your face...
It works wonders on arms, legs, anywhere really, to cover up scars, bruises, pimples, and cellulite. Try it!
5. So you're on a time crunch and you happen to have puffy eyes...
Well, a little bit of Preparation H will do the trick!
6. Are you a victim of dry lips?
After you soak them with a warm, damp cloth for a few minutes, exfoliate your lips with the back of a Mandarin orange peel.
7. You know when hair dye gets on your head and you think it's just over...
Well, use more of the same hair dye instead of a wet cloth.
8. Here's something super duper simple: paint your nails with an olive tone.
Why? Because it actually flatters all skin tones and perfectly contrasts against fashion colors for this fall.
9. First off, there exists a product that relieves chafing sooo that's awesome.
And two, this gel powder cream is a perfect primer. Like, pores are gone. Holy!
10. Coconut oil really will save your soul.
Honestly. Use it to remove makeup, and you can also use it in place of moisturizer before bed.
11. I can't believe this is a revelation but it is...
...test out foundation on your neck, not your face! Perfect.
12. Out of shaving cream?
Use conditioner! And trust me, you'll probably end up preferring it!
13. Oh, those days when we know we should wash our hair but just don't wanna...
Try baby powder! It smells great, completely stabilizes grease, and makes styling super easy!
14. This might sound a little strange, but what else would you expect from classic Hollywood?
So, it's a known fact that starlets like Marilyn Monroe
and Elizabeth Taylor shaved their faces (yes, shaved) to look even more
flawless. This is a beauty trick that's really catching on and there are
a lot of girls who say it makes a big difference. It sounds odd, but
who knows, maybe it's the exact beauty trick you've been searching for!
15. Want your coiffe to have a little more volume?
Well, all you need to do is sandwich a towel around small
chunks of damp hair and squeeze. This absorbs water but also roughs the
cuticles (which cover the hair strands) so that your hair doesn't lay
flat. Poof! Volume.
16. As summer fades but you want to keep your bronzed up look ... don't even think about a tanning bed!
See how you can get flawless self tanner with barely any effort!
