10 Tips and tricks.




This are my 10 tips and tricks, just things that make my life easier.

1.Prevent skin from being stained by hair dye.
If you have ever died your hair dark colour then there is a high chance that you ended up with hair dye staining your skin. To prevent this in future apply some vaseline or thick cream around your hairline and on your ears. Once you washed your hair take some tissue and just wipe it off.

2.Dry, damaged hair? 
Olive oil is your friend. Wash and dry your hair and then apply some warm olive oil. Leave it on for about and hour, or as long as you want, then take some mild shampoo or baby shampoo and wash it off, finish of with some finishing serum or something that contains silicones, they will seal the moisture in your hair.

3.Powder on top of liquid=as good as cream.
Cream products have better staying power than powder products, but if you ever run out off your favourite cream blusher on bronzer then you can apply your powder blusher/bronzer on top your foundation, but make sure you will blend out any hard edges.

4.Milk of Magnesia as primer.
If you suffer from oily skin and you want your face to stay matte for a whole day then Milk of Magnesia is a great primer. It might sound absolutely ridiculous but Milk of Magnesia is a top kept beauty secret of some of the greatest make up artists, also it helps with acne.

5.Baby powder as finishing powder.
It might sound crazy, but baby powder makes an amazing setting powder, especially if you suffer with oily skin, it will absorb the oils and leave your skin matte all day long. Make sure that you use an unscented baby powder.

6.Face cream makes a really good hand cream.
If you have any face creams that you don't use anymore, you can use them as a hand cream.

7.Home made coffe scrub.
This is my favourite scrub ever, I use it on my body and face. All you have to do is get some coffe and add a bit of warm water and you have a all natural coffe scrub. No harsh chemical and you don't even need to go to the shop to get it plus it smell so good.

8.No brush cleanser?
If you ever run of brush cleanser you can use a hand sanitizer to clean your make up brushes.

9. Mineral foundation looking dry and cakey?
If you ever use a mineral foundation and you notice that it looks dry and cakey then use damp sponge like beauty blender or just a regular make up wedge to apply it instead of a brush. Just pick up some foundation with the sponge and stipple.

10.Too lazy to apply a body butter/lotion?
I have to admit that I can never be asked to use a body butter. Instead I use a baby oil after I get out af a bath, I just apply it on damp skin, let it absorb for about a minute and then patt dry my body. Your skin will be smooth as what the baby oil was made for.
