1. Make your Mascara last longer

Mascara is one of the most frequently bought beauty item.

Hold on to it longer by sitting it in hot water to get the clumps out and then adding a couple of drops of Eye Drops to thin it out. The hot water trick works for  the dried clumps and the Eye Drops thins it out.

2. Save money on liquid foundation by applying with a brush instead of a sponge

Yes the sponges are trendy and an easy way to put on foundation, but fingers and brushes can work great as well. Sponges soak up liquids.

3. Prevent Compacts from Breaking

You put blush or powder foundation in your purse for re-application and when you go to retrieve it, it is broken and product is every where. To prevent compacts from breaking in your purse, put a cotton ball or round inside the compact. This will give it a cushion for the inevitable falls.

4. Make your own Body Scrub

Scrubs are nice, but you can make your own with brown sugar and honey. You can also get creative and add oils.

5. Don't buy items without looking over what you already have and being innovative

Use Eye Shadows as highlighters and eyeliners. Finish and pan items before purchasing another similar items. There will always be the new next thing, don’t get sucked into the hype. Use what you already have.
