Beauty Tips

Lately I've found so many brilliant beauty tips on pinterest, blog posts and the #bbloggers twitter chat.  Here are a few of my favourites:

• Pop your finger between your lips after applying lipstick to remove excess & to stop it ending up on your teeth
• If your gel eye liner or cream shadow has dried up, pop it in the microwave quickly for a few seconds to make is as good as new!
• Instead of buying a separate brow palette, check which brown shades of of eye shadow you have that might work for you (I love Faint from the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette)
• Check TK Maxx for high end products at a bargain price
• Put bobby pins in your hair with the bumps facing down to keep them in place for longer
• Make the most of loyalty cards to save points and eventually treat yourself for free
• Beauty freebies with magazines are a great way of trying a brand without committing to a full size product/purchase
• After you have applied your lipstick, hold a tissue over your lips and lightly dust translucent powder over the tissue to make it long lasting
• To make your eyes look brighter and more awake use nude eye liner in the waterline, curl your lashes and use a light shimmery eye shadow in the inner corner
• To make sure your perfume last all day apply it behind your ears, at the base of your throat, inside your wrist, inside your elbow and behind your knee
• Coconut oil has so many uses - buy some!
