Work it Wednesday: Beauty Hacks You Need to Know

With the holidays fast approaching, women everywhere will be rushing between the office, the mall, home for dinner & out for holiday parties in no time at all. Which leaves less time to make sure you look your best every step of the way. So here are some beauty hacks that you need to know! 

• Use coconut oil as a conditioning hair mask, before washing your hair that looks overly dry. 
• You can also make your own leave-in conditioner by combining 1 part of your favorite conditioner with 3 parts water in a spray bottle. 
• To tame frizzy hair, smooth a bit of hand cream through your tresses. 
• For static, use a dryer sheet. 
• You can use conditioner in place of shaving cream.
• Use coconut oil on a cotton pad to remove makeup.
• Use apple cider vinegar as a toner, especially on your T-zone if you're prone to breakouts. 
• Blot an oily face with a coffee filter.
• If you have the time, steep two tea bags & place them over puffy eyes for 10 min. 
• Apply Vaseline or coconut oil onto rough & dry feet before putting on a pair of socks & going to bed. 
• Have your perfume last by applying it to your "hot zones" - inside your wrist, at the base of your throat, behind your ears, inside your elbows & behind the knees. 
• For fuller looking lips, add a drop of peppermint oil to your favorite lip gloss. 
• Use a dab of lipstick on your cheeks as a cream blush. 
• Create your own gel eyeliner with an eyeliner pencil & a lighter. 
 • Keep your lip color in place by holding a tissue lightly over your lips & dust with some translucent powder.
• Use a white basecoat to make your nail color pop. 
• Last minute mani? Dip your nails in cold water for 2-3 min. to speed the drying time. 
• Instead of taking all the time to remove glitter polish, use some Elmer's glue as a base coat & just peel it all off. 
• Keep your bobby pins in place by spritzing them with some hair spray first & making sure the bumpy side is to your scalp.
