Weird Beauty Tips

A friend sent me a link to a list of weird beauty tips from Cosmopolitan magazine. Some of these I’ve heard before, some of them I haven’t. Here are a few of my favorites! A dab of toothpaste can cure a zit. This one I’ve heard before (but never tried). The beauty experts at Cosmo suggest leaving the toothpaste on for just 15 minutes, then washing it off.

With all that makeup on my face, neck, and hands, I was sure I was going to end up breaking out. Another actress in the show offered me an aloe-based cleanser and skin toner for clean-up. I wasn’t sure if it would help, but figured it wouldn’t hurt. I used the cleanser and toner faithfully every night after the … Continue reading →

Look Fabulous in Under a Minute

Posted on by

You don’t have to spend hours in front of a mirror to look fabulous… here are some quick tricks that won’t cost much, either. You can hide raccoon eyes with the right color of eye shadow. Rich, dark colors create depth above the eye — distracting attention from bags underneath. Light, sparkly eye shadow colors can actually make bags more prominent. Another good way to keep attention off those dark circles under your eyes is to play up another feature entirely. Try a bright, flattering lipstick to draw attention away from raccoon eyes. Use a bronzer to make your face … Continue reading →
