Bounce Dryer Sheets – Tames Frizzy Hair on the Fly

The easiest way to always make sure to tame fly-aways and frizz while also making your hair smell delicious is Bounce Dryer Sheets – simply run one through your hair in the morning then store it in your purse for later and you will have frizz free hair all day long!




PAM Spray (non scented) – Makes Your Skin Look Dewey but not Greasy
I cannot stress enough that you need the non-flavored/scented kind or else you will end up smelling like a roasted Turkey – but after a good tan and shower, just spray a light layer on your hot bod and your skin will look dewy and shiny but not greasy. The other effect PAM tends to have it to help define your muscles so the more muscular you are the leaner and more defined you will look.




Preparation H – De-puffs Puffy Eyes
Use the cream under your eyes for puffiness – Do not use the oily one, because the oily one for some reason makes the under eye bags look worse.
* Raw potato slices and green tea bags also work well for this.




Baking Soda – De-streaks Tanner
If you find yourself streaking (not glowing) after applying self-tanner, put some baking soda on a loofah, and scrub away the stripes.
* You can also use baking soda with a few drops of lemon, mix it up and make a paste out of it, put it on the pimple – pimple zapped! Of course Visine and Toothpaste always work too!




Cream Rinse – Stops Razor Burn
Shaving with conditioner softens the hair so it’s easier to shave off and makes legs feel amazingly silky.




Freezer – Makes Eyeliner Go On Smooth
If the tip of your eyeliner pencil crumbles and smears on your lids, store the liner in the freezer for 15 minutes before use so the tip is firm and goes across your skin smoothly.
* Storing nail polish in the fridge is another great secret to keeping polish smooth when applied. Frosted nail polish will not separate. However, if it has hardened or is gummy, place the bottle in a pan of boiling water. The polish will be like new.




Vinegar – Makes Hair Shiny
Mix one part vinegar with four parts carbonated water, and soak dry hair. Leave on for 15 minutes before you shampoo to lock in shine and combat dullness.




Petroleum Jelly – Makes Lashes Lusterous
An easy way to draw attention to your eyes without putting on a pile of makeup is to comb petroleum jelly lightly through the tips of eyelashes to get a sexy, subtle sparkle.
* Brush a little petroleum jelly through your brows with a toothbrush or eyebrow comb and you can define and hold yoru brows in place.




Powder – Makes mascara Go On Better
Powder eyelids before applying any eye makeup. It creates a base for eyeliner or eye shadow and can sometimes be worn with nothing else for a little bit of color. It also seems to somehow prime eyelashes for mascara.




Fabric Softener – Best Leave In Conditioner
It’s very strong, so be sure to dilute it. Suggestions: 1 cup water, 1/2 cup fabric softener.




Aspirin – Fixes Dandruff
To help relieve dandruff, add 30 plain aspirin to a full bottle of your regular shampoo. Apply and rinse as usual.




Pepto Bismal – Makes a Great Facial
Rubbing Pepto-Bismal on your skin is a better facial than peel off masks. Seriously – it can make your skin feel and look fantastic.
