    Thanks for that-I've got them on my labia often, some of them are permanent I think-just turned into thick lumps of skin (They're tiny but they still make me feel ugly)

    I do that too

    A little peppermint or cinnamon oil is excellent for making your lips look luscious and plump. It's used in many 'plumping' lip glosses.

    If you're too tired or lazy to wash your face at night, keep make-up remover wipes by your bed. One swipe, and you're done!

    Clear mascara can be used to tame fly-away hair. My bangs used to drive me crazy sometimes, but not anymore!

    I recently decided I want to start going the 'no-poo' route in regards to shampoo and conditioner. Partly because I hate having all those chemicals going on my hair, and also partly because good conditioners and shampoos ain't cheap. I've heard a lot of rave reviews about using baking soda as shampoo and vinegar as conditioner, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.
    Today I tried out the vinegar as conditioner for the first time. I took a rinsed out honey bottle (with the squeezy cap) and mixed 3 parts vinegar to one part water. When I got in the shower I poured enough on my hair to saturate it like any normal conditioner, let it sit for a few minutes, and rinsed it out.
    There's only the faintest pickle smell that apparently goes away completely once your hair is dry, and you can add essential oils to it to combat that. I showered half an hour ago and my hair is already nearly dry - compared to hours later when I use conditioner (because I never blowdry my hair). So far I'm pretty impressed, plus it's WAY WAY WAY cheaper!

    DIY bb cream: mix a dab of your regular face moisturizer with a tiny bit of powder mineral foundation. It tends to dry faster than plain moisturizer, so you have to apply it a little quicker to avoid streaks - just as you would do with certain types of regular liquid foundation. Of course, the more foundation you put in, the more coverage you have... basically, you can make anything from a sheer tinted moisturizer to a thick concealer
    This is great if you don't want to put chemical on your face (assuming your moisturizer is chem-free, that's it) but you don't like powders on your skin.
    I love the result, plus it's really cheap. Most mineral foundations are quite inexpensive and you only need minimal amounts, so a sample jar would last forever.

    Not a makeup tip but I make sugar wax.
    1 cup sugar
    2 tbsp lemon juice
    2 tbsp water

    Now, you combine them in a pot, on medium heat and turn it down when it starts to boil, to low heat and let it simmer until its a nice amber color. Don't let it get darker than amber, and actually I find it to work great if I just let it get to maybe a ginger ale color. Then I pour it into a microwave safe container, wait for it to cool a bit then I use it.

    I only use it for pubes because it really doesn't work well on fine hairs (face). Rips any thicker hair out though. Anything left I get with tweezers. Also, water dissolves it so if you get any in your eyebrow, etc just put a wet rag on it and it wipes away. Also leave the sticky pot and any sticky utensils in water for a few hours and it'll dissolve all of it.

    Won't work for everyone but if you're very tired and it shows on your eye area, wear the thickest longest lashes possible, ppl will only think it's the shadow from the eyelash. I personally love it but only use at work.

    Recently discovered sea salt spray, best thing in the world.

    Spray expensive perfume info a no scent lubriderm bottle, life changing.

    If you've been crying/ not sleeping get those round makeup tissues for removing makeup, get them damp and put them in the fridge for cold eye compresses. Your eyes will look normal after a few.

    Not too original but if your moisturizer has no pump, use a q tip to grab your moisturizer. One swipe is usually the perfect amount for the a single application and you toss it. No bacteria and perfect measurement.

    Oh, also, if you use sunless tanners, when you're done applying get a wet rag and whitening toothpaste and scrub off your palms. It gets it all off quickly and you don't have to scrub your palms raw with an exfoliater (which never works anyway)

    I think everyone who use oils should see this page, it tells the pore-clogging likelihood, so when you're shopping for oils look at this page to not make a mistake such as using coconut oil on your face.

    My beauty tricks,
    I use coconut oil for dandruff, I use a thin teeth comb, and apply while shaking off the dead skin cells.
    For acne or spots, I use tea tree oil.

    ^^^
    I think what it's comedogenic/clogging and what's not it's really subjective... coconut oil doesn't clog my pores, shea butter does if I use it on a regular basis... aloe vera gel also makes my pores really dirty (I think it's the xanthan gum in it, more than the aloe per se). Mineral oil and petrolatum are the worst things ever imo!

    Apple cider vinegar toner for pimples and fine lines. 2 parts water and 1 part vinegar. I swab it on my face every night before bed and then sleep with it on. I used to have bad breakouts and since using the toner it isn't a problem anymore and it helps fade old acne spots. It also happens to work on fine lines. I used to have forehead lines, but somehow the toner has taken care of that too. It stinks, but it works wonders without drying my face into leather like some acne treatments...

    I thought I had naturally very very oily skin, but then I stopped using intense cleansers. They dry your skin out too much, and your skin knows. Your skin always knows. And it will compensate by producing a shit ton of oil throughout the day. I use Cetaphil's moisturizing cleanser now and my skin is fine for the first time ever. I see that some of you use olive oil. I don't know if I'm ready for that jelly.

    Tonight I tried something new. I used urban decay's eyeshadow primer, not their normal foundation primer (which I tried and didn't like), over the parts of my face that need foundation. My logic was, the purpose of eyeshadow primer is to make powders stay put even with all that oil and movement of your lids, so why wouldn't it work for powder foundation? And it did work. Incredibly well, actually. If this doesn't break me out or anything I will put it into my regular beauty routine. It looks NATURAL even under fluorescent lights, even if I get in really close to the mirror and look for signs of unnatural skin-ness. And it just lasted for twelve hours, eight of which were spent sweating in a strip club.

    Don't try it with liquid foundation though. I tried it with liquid instead of powder yesterday, and it was just a mess.

    Apply Desitin diaper rash cream after shaving to stop razor bumps on your bikini line. Amazing. And when you're putting black liner on your lower lash line, pack black eyeshadow over it. It makes it last SO much longer. For winged eyeliner, I find it easier to use a (cheap) liquid liner for most of your eyelid, and then use an eyeliner pen to draw the actual wing. So much easier, and there's basically no difference in looks.
