When it comes to Beauty and Style, it seems like there’s always so much to do. You have to look nice, smell nice, have the chicest items, great skin, and so on. And all these mean you have to spend a lot of money.

But do you, really? There are ways you can look good and stay on top of your beauty game without breaking the bank. Ready to see?
Maximize Your Mascara
Of course, you know mascara is the secret to your long and lovely lashes. But when it starts getting dry and clumpy, you throw it away. You don’t need to do that anymore.

You can revive it by adding saline solution – the same kind you use for your contact lenses, yes. A few drops will smoothen the clumps and your mascara will go back to normal.
Revive Your Foundation
You would agree that you spend so much money on beauty items because you’re quick to throw things away. Your foundation can also get thick and dry but don’t give up on it immediately.

Add a bit of your face moisturizer and mix them together. Your foundation would be as good as new and would also be so great for your skin because you need the moisturizer, anyway.
DIY Lip Scrub
Another thing you must know when you want to save money on beauty products is that you have to make some things yourself. And one of them is your lip scrub.

All you need is sugar, honey, and coconut oil. Mix and gently rub them on your lips, the way you use your normal scrub. After a minute or two, rinse off with hot water and your lips will be as soft as a baby’s bum.
Use A Toothbrush For Your Hair
Now, don’t get so shocked, I don’t mean for all of your hair, I mean for those baby hairs that are always sticking out. Spray your toothbrush with a bit of hairspray or gel, whichever you prefer.

After that, gently brush in those hairs to add the finishing touches to your look. A toothbrush is the perfect size to do that without interfering with the rest of the hair.
Use A Spoon For Your Winged Liner Perfection
What do eyeliners gain in making you feel as though you don’t know what you’re doing? You have the perfect wing in mind, but the reality?

You can get it right with a spoon. Place the tip on the outer corner of your eye and draw a straight line. Secondly, place the spoon on your eyelid and connect the tip of the wing to your upper lash line. Fill in the space after.
Heat Up Your Eyelash Curler
Your Eyelash Curler tends to do a better job at curling when it’s heated a little. You can use your hairdryer to blow some heat on it or you can let the radiator in your room heat it up. Just make sure it’s not too hot, so you don’t burn your eyes.

The curls also last longer than normal when you heat up your curler before use.
Make Your Own Face Masks
Who said you can only treat your skin when you go to a spa? You can have a spa day in the comfort of your home. Get some avocado, honey, and oatmeal, these are known natural ingredients used for the skin.

Mash up those avocados and mix them with honey. Add oatmeal and mix again till it forms a paste and your face mask is ready. Just spread it around your face and rinse off with warm water after 10-15 minutes.
Shave With Conditioner
You know how Conditioner makes your hair soft and easy to comb? That’s the same thing it does with hair on your skin, only this time around, you’re not combing.

When you run out of shaving cream, conditioner can come in very handy. Rub it on your skin and do your shaving the same way you do with your shaving cream. It actually moisturizes your skin and adds thicker protection from the razor blade.
Use Denture Tablets
What for, you may ask. For those annoying nail polish stains that don’t seem to come off your fingernails till you use a nail polish remover.

If you’ve run out of nail polish remover, this is an excellent replacement for it. Just drop 2-3 tablets in a bowl of warm water and they’ll start to fizz up. Put your fingers in and leave for about 5 minutes. Nail polish stains won’t be able to survive that.
Makeup Brush Cleaner
You know you have to wash your makeup brushes. But your normal soap and water is not doing a great job at getting those product residue out. What do you do? Grab your olive oil.

Mix olive oil and soap on a plate and swirl your brush around it. The oil will melt those sticky residues and the soap will remove them. Quickly rinse and put on a clean towel to dry.
Use Vaseline
This trick has spent some time with us but do you use it? When you want your perfume to last all day without re-wearing it, simply use Vaseline. Rub the Vaseline around your pulse points and spray your perfume there.

Vaseline gives a sticky base for the perfume to stay so the scent does not fade away quickly. This will definitely save your perfume from running out easily.
