A Few Tips - More To Come!

1. Using a base coat before your actual polish really does make a difference. I used to use nail polish without a base because I thought it didn't do much. Then one day I decided to get one and see if it said what it would do on the bottle. It would usually take my nail polish about a week for it to turn my nails yellow without a base. With the base after a week I haven't seen any yellowing. I don't know if all base coats are the same but the only one I've used and am using right now is the Revlon Quick Dry Base Coat


2. Using baby oil as a make-up remover. I have a friend who is in make-up school and i asked her if I can use baby oil as a make-up remover. She said no because the oil clogs your tear ducts. I've been using the baby oil for a few years now and I don't see any harm in it. It removes the make-up with ease. For those who are worried about it clogging your eyes then just use it to remove your foundation or other cosmetics on your face other than your eyes.

3. Cuticle cream! For those who are like me, I always have to lotion the part of my body that gets wet. I don't mean to make that sound dirty but let me explain. When I wash my hands I always have to lotion my hands right after. Same goes with my face or when I take a shower, I lotion my whole body. My hands, especially my cuticles are the easiest to get dry. I always carry a bottle of lotion in my purse 'cause of it. Though, most lotions I've used doesn't cure my dry cuticles. The cuticles cream I've tried are
Sally Hansen Diamond Cuticle Creme

and

Sally Hansen Apricot Creme

The Diamond one works wonders but I would not pay 11 dollars for something so small. The apricot one is cheaper but I don't find it working all that well. Thank goodness I was shopping around the mall last week and went into Bath and Body Works. I was looking through their lip balm section and I came upon this big container.

C.O Bigelow Rose Salve. The first thing I've noticed are the writings on the side of the lid. Face, lips, cuticles, elbows, and knees. Yes, this is super moisturizing and a bit oily. It's not oily like Vaseline but it does give off a shine. It works very well on my cuticles and other dry patches on my skin. It is around 6 dollars and you don't have to use much product which is awesome. More bang for your buck! I would definitely buy this again when I run out. Does the same job for my cuticles as the Sally Hansen Diamond one and can be used for other parts of your body as well for half the price, obviously pick C.O Bigelow Rose Salve!

4. Tweeze your eyebrows after a shower. It won't hurt as much because the pores will be open.
