BEAUTY TRICKS ON A DIME

While the rich and famous have a team of beauty experts, prestigious plastic surgeons and access to rare products, the rest of us has...uh...we have blogs :O)  From each other, we learn tricks here and there to keep ourselves youthful, delightful, and beautiful!

These beauty tricks are not unknown.  But they are the ones I truly believe in and practice all the time.  They are inexpensive, fun to do, and most of all, they work!


Trick #1: de-puff eyes with a frozen spoon

I always keep a metal spoon in the freezer.  In the A.M, when my eyes are puffy, I just lay the spoon on my eyes.  When the cold metal touches the skin, it quickly rids of the puffiness.

Of course, a frozen tea bag works too.  But who has the time in the morning to soak a tea back in hot water and then wait for it to get cold?

Trick #2: Full, shiny hair


Mayonnaise, an age-old trick for full and shiny hair, works!  It may be a messy and smelly, but my hair always turns out full of body and shine after using mayonnaise on it.  I just lather it on my hair for 10 min and wash.

Trick #3: Honey as a face mask

Not only does honey taste good, it contains a lot of moisture.  That's why I rub honey all over my face as a mask.  After it washes off, my skin feels as smooth as silk.  What a great and cheaper alternative to a pricey face mask?

Trick #4: Take vitamins for long, lush lashes


This one is tried and true, and I am swearing by it!  When I was pregnant, I was unable to take vitamins due to severe nausea.  While other pregnant ladies had luscious mane, mine was dull and brittle.  


Now that I am no longer battling constant nausea, I started taking chewable vitamins.  What a difference they make!  Not only is my hair looking better, my lashes are growing at lightning speed!  


You can wipe on all the miracle mascara you want, but I'm going to take my vitamins!  Because beauty really does come from within.

Trick #5: Moisturize with a little vaseline

Sure I was curious enough to overspend for a tiny bottle of eye creme.  But somehow I always come back to my jar of vaseline.  

To moisturize, I dab vaseline on the crow of my eyes, my lips and even my cracked heels at times.  Vaseline may be cheap, but it never fails to moisturize.

So there you go!  Tricks that are both beauty- and budget-friendly.  Try them and you might save a dime, or two.
