Hello Zag ladies! Here are a few of my favorite beauty hacks that will make your body and your budget happy!

 

1. Warm up your mascara by putting it in your bra to get rid of clumps!

2. You can also eliminate clumps in your mascara by mixing in a little bit of contact solution.

3. Grow stronger and fuller eyelashes by applying Vaseline before bed. This will not only condition the eyelashes, but the part of the eyelid that attaches to the eyelashes as well!

4. Apply Vaseline to your feet before bed along with comfortable socks as a conditioner.

5. Add a little bit of cornstarch to a glossy nail polish for a matte finish, instead of paying for an official matte top coat.

6. Throw your hair up in a t-shirt for 10-15 minutes after you shower. This helps to save time and free up your hands to get other stuff done! Drying your hair with a towel can also absorb too much moisture and cause dry, frizzy hair.

7. Wash your hair in the sink if there’s no time for a full shower. This is especially good for the mornings when you’re running late!

8. Place Vaseline on pulse points of your body before applying perfume to make the scent stick better and last longer! Less reapplying throughout the day, and you still smell fresh!

9. Rub coconut oil into your nails to make them stronger and shinier. Coconut oil prevents nails from becoming brittle and developing infections.

10. Use blush as eyeshadow if you want an earthy tone on your lids.

11. Mash up a strawberry with baking soda to whiten your teeth. Apply the mixture to your teeth and let it sit for five minutes, then brush your teeth with toothpaste.

12. Make a face mask out of 1 teaspoon of egg whites and 1 squeeze of fresh lemon juice to help with oily skin. Egg whites are useful in shrinking and opening pores, as well as drawing excess oil from the skin.

 

And voila! You are as beautiful as ever! Comment your favorite beauty hacks you think everyone should try!
