5 unexpected beauty secrets

Here are some random beauty tips that I'm a big fan of!

1) Clutch space is limited - but whatever you do, make space for Q-Tips
Many of you fashion junkies probably already know Q-Tips are an essential beauty tool (I think their slogan is something like that, actually). I didn't always realize their power. On a night out, even with primer and waterproof liner, eye makeup can need an adjustment. Your fingers are usually too big or not precise enough to do these delicate touch-ups. Keep a single Q-Tip, some gloss and some translucent powder in that teeny tiny clutch and you'll be good for the night when it comes to makeup touch ups.

2) Spraying your face with hairspray will set your makeup! 
Yes, crazy and seemingly not too healthy, but true. Only do this before a big event. I heard this tip came from Jersey Shore..ugh. But it works, promise.

3) When going for volume and saving on time, putting rollers on only the top layer of your hair will do just fine
I love big, sexy hair, a la Kim Kardashian. But I'm also a busy girl on a schedule (like all of us, right?). So, When I blow-dry my hair, I just separate my wet hair into 2 parts, and clip the bottom part, blow-out the top and then put rollers and move on to the bottom. Once the bottom is blown out, I leave it and move on to my makeup, and once my outfit is on, I remove my rollers and voila! Plenty of volume.

4) Vaseline is a good eye soother
My girlfriend who is crazy about eye makeup told me to rub Vaseline on my eyelids after I remove my eye makeup. It totally helps soothe them and makes them less puffy from all that rigorous rubbing (think waterproof eyeliner AND mascara...UGH).

5) A toothbrush is seriously one of the very best hair tools ever!
Good-bye ugly little flyaways, just takes a little hairspray and a good old plain toothbrush. And hello? It's cheap. Don't use your toothbrush that you brush your teeth with, lol.
