Different uses for products
what products do you use for a different reason than they were meant for?
For example, Prep H is for hemriods, but works great for under eye circles.
I read on another forum that Monistat antichafing gel works just like SmashBox Primer. So I bought some today, and it does work very well for a primer, and much cheaper.
What ar your favorite strange beauty products or uses?

HA nothing comes to mind right away but i'm laughing while i try to think of the first people to come up with THOSE alternate uses.
"Hmm I have Prep H but don't want to put it on my ass. I want to put my hemorrhoid cream below my eyes instead!!"
and antichafing gel as make up primer, that's awesome and really weird. :D:D

I'm so in love with this concept that I just popped out and bought some!

I know everyone knows this but shampoo or conditioner as shaving lotion. I notice when I use conditioner guys think my skin is SOOOO smooth (and I haven't put on lotion the past couple of times.)
aspirin as face scrub or mask.
oregano oil pills (pop 'em open and apply) for zits (works way better than the tiny bottles of anti-zit products from the department stores)

Also shampoo to clean makeup brushes.
Toothpaste on pimples.

Oddly enough... Almay eye-makeup remover... when dabbed onto your eye lids (before makeup is applied) makes your eyeshadow last for EVER!

OTC external yeast infection cream to clear up sun spots

I mix one part baking soda with 3 parts water in a spray bottle and use that to clean my hair instead of shampoo. Just sprayed at the roots. Works surprisingly well and doesn't dry my hair out. I've actually been able to wear my hair curly for the first time in years after doing this.
Green tea bags over the eyes to reduce puffiness and make my eye skin nicer.
Sweet almond oil is a nice moisturizer for the face and the ends of hair (just not too much).
I'll sometimes add a spoonful of brown sugar to body wash to make a scrub if I'm running low on the apricot stuff.

Monistat antichafing gel is great as a primer. Has the exact same ingredients as the smashbox primer.
Re: Different uses for products
I need a home remedy for dark undereye circles. Anyone?

Lipgloss for the shiny cheek effect. I have tried that and it works great, you just can't over do it.
