Tips to get more out of your beauty products

1) Baby Oil : To be used as a make-up remover or skin softener
Add a few drops into a basin and soak either hands/feets

2) Vaseline : Great as a lip gloss and moisturiser for dry skin
Vaseline combined with matte lipstick = lip gloss

3) Nail Polish : Can be used as a nail polish remover
Apply a fresh coat of polish over the old polish, let it set for a few seconds and wipe off

4) Mascara Wand : Wash an old mascara wand and re-use as an eyebrow brush

5) Fix up a broken lipstick : Heat up the broken piece in a microwave oven in a small container. The heat will melt the lipstick and harden once its cooled. You can use your lipstick again with a lip brush.

6) Old lipstick tubes, thoroughly cleaned, are great for purse-sized pillboxes or for pins.

7) Olive oil added to bath water as a skin softener.

8) Mix some lotion with some vaseline to maximise usage and stretch its value.

9) For eyeshadows that smudge easily -> apply concealer or liquid/cream foundation on the eyelids first, before applying eyeshadow

10) Eyeliner pencils wearing down quickly -> put pencil in the freezer for 15mins before sharpening it

11) Mix sugar with olive oil to act as a body scrub

12) To act as a lip exfoliator
-> use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush the lips lightly every night, before applying a lip moisturiser or vaseline
-> mix a little bit of sugar with honey, rub on ur lips and let it sit for 5mins then wipe off with a warm cloth
