My Top 15 Must Know Beauty Tips!

These are just a few things from my ever-expanding beauty tip jar in my head that really stuck out to me, and I feel like every girl should know. Some might be obvious or well know, and others might not! I hope you find these as helpful and useful as I do :-)

Oh, and these are in no order, they're all equally as helpful!

1. When doing your nails with a light color (such as white, mint, other pastels) or with a particular streaky formula, put a coat of matte polish in between your first and second coat. This will give it a streak-free and professional look.
2. Put a little baking soda in your toothpaste; It does wonders whitening your teeth without busting your wallet!
3. Use honey as an anti-inflammatory face mask.
4. Make a quick sugar scrub out of a spoonful of sugar and whatever soap you have at the sink/shower!
5. Nails yellow after a mani/pedi on too long? Soak in lemon juice for 5 minutes. It will take the color away.
6. For those of you that use faux tan spray/lotion; if it gets on your hands, use toothpaste as a soap. It will take the stain out.
7. If your in a hurry, use the cold setting on your hairdryer to set liquid eyeliner and mascara. Even your liquid foundation if you don't set with powder!
8. Mix up 1 avocado, 1 cup black coffee, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 tablespoon of sea salt for a cellulite fighting, body brightening, moisturizing shower scrub.
9. Keep lipsticks as well as nail polish in the refrigerator for a clean, more opaque look. It will also keep them from drying out.
10. Mix 1/2 cup milk, 2 Tbsp olive oil, and slice one whole lemon to put in a bubble bath for a brightening, skin renewal wash. The milk and acid from the lemons will get the dead skin particles off, while the oil restores moisture. The lemon scent also reduces stress.
11. If you have really tangled hair, start bushing gently from the ends and work your way up the head. This reduces hair loss and pulling.
12. Never put mascara on your lower lashes! It casts a shadow, making your eyes look very small.
13. If you are getting age spots on your hands, use facial brightening crème. It will do for your hands what it does for your face.
14. Buff your nails, then use a shiny buffing block on them before applying nail polish for a longer lasting manicure.
15. Even out streaks from self tanner with a lemon juice and baking soda scrub.
