At-Home Bronzer
Want to add a golden, sun-kissed touch to your face but don't have any bronzer? No problem. Just mix together the following spices from your kitchen: cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cornstarch, and you'll be glowing like you just vacationed in St. Tropez.
Split Up
If you're overdue for a trim, coconut oil can help hide split ends in a pinch. Rub a small amount between your fingers and smooth the ends.
Sugar Scrub
Make your own lip scrub with items you already have in your pantry. Stir together a tablespoon of brown sugar, a teaspoon of honey and a dash of vanilla. Apply to your lip in small circular motions, and wipe away for soft lips.
DIY Lip Balm
In need of some moisture on your lips but want some color rather than just a simple glossy effect? Mix together a little blush and petroleum jelly on the back of your hand, and you now have a custom color for your lips.
Easy Off
Glitter nail polish is always fun, but removing it is definitely not. Paint a thin coat of Elmer's glue on your nails and let it dry, then apply your glitter polish. When it comes time to remove, the glitter polish will just peel off.
Brow Groomer
Need to put your wayward brows in place? Use clear mascara to keep the hair in line, using short strokes in up and out motions.
Breath Savers
Need to freshen your breath in a hurry? Take a big bite of a lemon wedge to kill stinky bacteria.
Root of the Problem
Desperately need to hide your roots, but can't get to the salon today? Take a matte eye shadow in a shade that matches your hair and a wet eyeshadow brush. Lightly brush the color with quick strokes on the grays, and you're good to go!
Tea Party
Are your eyes looking tired and puffy? Place tea bags soaked in cool water over your lids for five minutes. Look for herbal formulas or green tea with caffeine for an extra boost.
Lip Service
Looking to get a plumped pout the natural way? Add a drop or two of peppermint oil to your lip gloss. The menthol will give your lips a boost. Warning: It may sting a little!
