Let’s say you’re rushing out of the house, you’ve been rummaging through your make-up drawer for over five minutes and you can’t seem to find that perfect shade of lip

gloss that you love. 

What can you do? Break out your jar of Vaseline and look for an eyeshadow shade that’s close to what you want. Put a little bit of

both onto the Vaseline lid, swirl it together with your finger and voila! You’ve got the perfect lip gloss and you didn’t have to stop by a drug store on

the way to wherever you’re going to get it!

Beach waves are sexy. If your hair is naturally straight, one way to achieve them is to plait your hair while it’s lightly damp at night. When you wake up,

touch your hair to make sure it’s completely dry. Then, on a relatively low setting, run your flat iron over your braids, take them out and lightly tease them with your

fingers. You’ll be the envy of all your friends.

Middle parts are in right now. What do you do if you want to wear one, but your hair is super thin or your part is not as prominent as

you want it to be? Pull out your brow powder and use the brush to rub it along both sides of your part. So long as the powder is close

to your hair’s color, no one will ever know the difference.

Feel like wearing your hair extensions but you don’t have time to wash them? That’s what dry shampoo is for! Run it through your pieces and your hair will be

as good as new. Rub your palms with some lavender or jasmine oil and then pat your hair and you’ll be smelling really good the entire day.

Pop quiz. Where is your perfume supposed to go? If you want it to last all day long, apply it behind your ears, inside of your elbows, on your belly

button and behind your knees (we already talked about it being a good idea to put some scent into your hair). Your scent will be strong and sensual from the moment

you walk out of the door until you return home.

Contouring is pretty big these days. If you want to do it in a way that looks natural and doesn’t require a ton of cosmetics, pull out your bronzer. All

you have to do is apply it to your forehead, then your cheekbones and jawline and blend. That’s it.

Wish your lips were fuller? Wanna know how you can get them that way? Apply a little peppermint oil to them. The oil will cause blood to rush to your

lips and that will automatically give them a plumpness. 

Don’t overdo it on the oil; it’s potent. And if you accidently lick your lips, no problem. Peppermint oil is about as

strong as an Altoid. Your breath will be all set.

Sometimes bad hair days happen in the middle of the day. Our curls fall flat, a rainstorm happens or it’s humid as all get out. If you have a couple

of purses in your bag, though, there’s nothing to worry about. Just tie them around your locks and you’ll look like you intended to wear a scarf from the get

go!
