Mix peroxide hydrogen with water to get gleaming white teeth
By looking at red carpet pictures of award shows or movie premiers, you'll notice how white celebrities' teeth are. How do they do it? Perhaps they visit the dentist once a month for a whitening treatment. However, these professional procedures are likely expensive. Write down the hack below, cause it'll make your pearly whites look Hollywood-shiny, and will certainly boost your confidence.

Add some drops of eye solution to your dry mascara to bring it back to life
Finding the right mascara for your lashes is like that scene when Cinderella's shoe fits perfectly. You must have that one mascara tube you swear by that makes you look wide awake even though you've had a poor night of sleep. The problem comes after a few months when this staple makeup product starts drying out and giving your lashes a clumpy look.
Your first instinct is to throw it away and purchase a new one, but someone on the Internet came up with a solution that will revive your old mascara. Simply add some drops of eye solution into the tube and shake it. You shouldn't overdo it, for if you add too many, it will turn liquidy and make you look like a horror film character.
Use panty liners to make your bra more comfortable to wear
Whether it's bra straps cutting into your skin, or a strapless bra that won't stay up, we have the hacks for you. From panty liners to affordable clips, it really is very simple.
Place panty liners on underwire bras for more comfort, use a clip for a cross back hack, and prevent straps cutting into your shoulder by using a cotton pad right under the strap that is causing problems. Just when we thought bras would never be comfortable, there's a way to help!
Split ends can be handled with body lotion
Dealing with split ends can sometimes feel hopeless, especially if you dread those hair salon trips where 'just a trim' turns into much more. Conditioners offer only a temporary fix, but there’s another solution lurking in your bathroom.
No scissors are required! Use body lotion on your ends for a surprising remedy. This versatile product isn’t just for skin, apparently, and works well on hair too. Apply it gently to your ends, and watch as your hair transforms, becoming softer and healthier.
Create big curls with your flat iron and some hair ties
If you weren't blessed with beautiful curls, you must've tried many different techniques to make your hair look less flat. A more voluminous style is the only way of getting your hair out of your face, and it can serve to bring out your features. Purchasing a curling iron is a no-brainer for lovers of this trend. However, you must know how expensive these kinds of hair accessories are.
If you own a flat iron and a few hair ties, your problem is solved. First, section your hair into 4 or 6 parts, depending on how big you want your curls to be. Then, braid the sections and start ironing each braid. Once you're done, leave your hair like that for 30 minutes. Remove your hair ties and you'll have amazing curls.
Use this sweet natural scrub to avoid having dry lips and hands in winter
Few things are more annoying than having dry lips as the temperature begins to drop. Besides, some of the products offered on sale to cure this issue often contain lots of chemicals that shouldn't be applied to your body. The best part is that this recipe contains only natural elements. For this hack, you'll need ingredients that are probably in your kitchen already.
To make this miracle scrub, mix coconut oil with some honey and sugar. It is suggested that the coconut oil is at room temperature. Seems rather tasty, doesn't it? Be careful not to eat it. The sugar is important as it will serve to exfoliate your lips. Just apply this recipe to your dry lips and hands, and leave for 5 to 10 minutes.
Boost hair growth naturally with rosemary oil
This DIY hair rinse has taken the internet by storm and for good reason. Not only is it simple and easy to make, but it's also packed with hair-loving nutrients that can improve the thickness and length of your locks. Here's how to make your own rosemary hair rinse at home.
You'll need 1-2 cups of filtered water, 1-3 fresh rosemary leaves, and 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Start by boiling the filtered water. Add fresh rosemary leaves to boiling water and let the leaves simmer for 15-20 minutes. After the water has cooled, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. While washing your hair, pour DIY rosemary hair rinse onto your scalp and leave for a couple of minutes. For best results, use the rosemary water regularly and consistently.
Switch to a satin pillowcase for healthier hair
You've read about how to get rid of split ends by applying a coat of body lotion, but there's another thing you can do to revive your hair. This next hack includes a product that you use every day and is essential to having a great night of sleep. Maybe you've never thought about it, but the right or wrong pillowcase can modify how your hair looks.
As it turns out, rough fabric pillowcases can cause frizz and damage your hair. If you have this problem, why don't you purchase silk or satin ones? You'll notice the difference and your hair will definitely thank you. Not only are these fabrics soft, but they also don't generate static, which causes all the small tight curls that sometimes ruin your looks.
Save a ton of money and make your own powerful anti-aging face mask
We all dread the moment we see our first wrinkle, and things only get worse from there. But with anti-aging products, we now have some help! While many don't unfortunately work, coconut oil and baking soda do.
It turns out that both kitchen products have amazing anti-aging ingredients, which moisturize and reduce fine lines on the face. Simply combine the two with lavender and oil tea tree essential oils, and gently massage onto the face. Leave it on for 7 minutes before rinsing it off.
Apply Vaseline to the areas where you spray perfume for a long-lasting effect
The first thing you should look for in a perfume is that its smell stays with you for many hours. But high-quality bottles are usually pricey, and, let's face it, even luxury brands can fail you. It's a shame that delicious scents wear off so quickly. Perfume should be applied once and last through the entire day, not disappear by the time you reach a party.
This hack is a perfect solution to this frequent problem. In order for your scent to last, apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the areas where you usually spray your perfume. It is recommended that you apply it on your wrists, behind your ears and knees, and on your throat's base, but you can get creative and spray it wherever you like.
Achieve a flattering butt in jeans with this simple styling hack
Shopping for jeans can often feel like an impossible task, especially when it comes to finding a pair that perfectly accentuates your curves. But fear not, because there's a simple styling hack that can help you achieve the perfect fit and a flattering shape. It all comes down to paying attention to one crucial element: the yoke.
So what exactly is the yoke, you ask? It's the patch of fabric located between the waistband and the back pockets of your jeans, and it plays a crucial role in shaping the appearance of your bum. The right yoke can make all the difference in how your jeans fit and flatter your behind.
Make your drugstore lipstick stay on for longer with a paper towel and translucent powder
Similarly to the last case, lipstick's another item that wears off after a few hours. You might find the perfect red tone or shade of nude to match your skin, but it's useless if the color fades after you drink a glass of water. In fact, if you're attending a party or social gathering, chances are you'll have a cocktail at some point of the night.
For your drugstore lipstick to stay on for longer, place a paper tower over your painted lips. Then, look for your translucent powder, the one you use to set your foundation, and apply some on top of the paper towel with a brush. For the most durable lipstick, apply two coats of powder. Your color will stay intact on your face for the entire night.
Speed up your nail drying time with cold water
Painting your nails is one of those things that requires time in order to be done in a neat fashion. Though applying nail polish makes you look more professional, not everyone has the patience or available space in their schedules to fit a mini home-spa session. It's tough to treat yourself when you need to look after your kids, go to work, or study for your exams.
However, remember this time-saving hack because it will simplify this process. After you've painted your nails with your favorite color, grab a bowl and fill it with cold water. It doesn't need to be freezing, but it's important that it's cold. Sink your freshly painted nails and the polish will dry in minutes. No more need to blow on them and look ridiculous.
Clean dirty makeup brushes using basic face wash
We all know that cleaning makeup brushes is essential for healthy skin and a vibrant face. Neglected brushes accumulate bacteria and can dull your makeup. If you find cleaning makeup brushes a hassle, this hack will make your life much easier
You can easily clean your brushes using a face wash. No need for a fancy one; the basic kind will do. It’s gentle yet effective at removing bacteria and keeping the bristles soft. If time allows, a quick spritz of disinfectant alcohol is recommended
Wrap your thighs with Saran Wrap for a slimmer look
While there's no magic solution for weight loss, some hacks claim to offer a slimmer appearance. The Saran Wrap technique has gained attention online, with a YouTube Guru recently revealing some interesting findings about its effectiveness. Could this be the quick fix we've been searching for?
Surprisingly, the Saran Wrap method can create a slimmer look for your legs, similar to the effects of a steam room. It works by promoting sweating, which removes water and toxins. Simply apply a moisturizer, wrap your thighs overnight, and awake to visibly slimmer legs.
Remove stubborn nail polish with acetone-soaked cotton pads
After you've discovered how to dry your freshly painted nails without wasting time, you'll now find a way of removing your polish really fast. The problem with this process is that people often blame the quality of their nail polish when it doesn't come off that easily. As you're about to find out, the solution to this frustrating issue lies elsewhere.
Neither should the nail remover be the one to blame. Actually, the mistake is not letting the acetone solution you use take its time to work. It should be in contact with your nails for a longer period of time. So try soaking cotton pads in the solution and placing them over your nails for ten minutes. Rubbing them with alcohol seems faster, but it's counterproductive.
Mix cinnamon, cocoa powder, nutmeg, and cornstarch for a homemade bronzer
If you're someone whose skin isn't naturally bronzed, you've probably tried different tricks to make it look as if you just took a trip to Spain. From spray tans to sunbeds, most of these methods require leaving your house or seeking the expertise of a professional. But this following hack proves you can create a tanned look with only four spices.
You probably own all of these already, but if you don't, you'll find them quite easily. Applying a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and cornstarch will give your skin a flawless appearance, and won't make you miss your artificial bronzer. The other women at the party will be surprised when they ask you what salon you went to. Always remember to tell them the truth.
Empty your Tic Tac box to store all those bobby pins you're constantly losing
This next object is arguably the easiest one to lose. However useful they are for getting the hair out of your face or hiding that rebellious lock that insists on leaving your ponytail, bobby pins' tiny size kind of seals their fate. There are probably hundreds lying at the bottom of your purse, under your bed or behind your couch.
Now, with this useful hack, you'll never lose them again. After you've finished eating your Tic Tacs, don't throw away the box. Instead, empty it and use it to place your bobby pins. Decorate it with a fun pattern and you're done. You won't have any more excuses for not finding your bobby pins. This also contributes to the environment, as you're recycling plastic.
Use a silver spoon to create the perfect cat-eye look
Cat-eyes are hands down the most popular eyeliner look, but it's tough to draw a perfect wing on the corner of your eyes, right? Ancient Egyptian women used to rock this look back in the day when there weren't any makeup tutorials on YouTube. So if they could do so, with limited technology and products, so can you. It's only a matter of practice.
To achieve a neat winged eyeliner look, you'll need a silver spoon. Like the woman in the picture on top, place the spoon's handle on the corner of your eye and start drawing the line upwards. It may seem crazy, but you'll end up feeling like you just left a makeup studio. The solution was lying inside your kitchen drawer, waiting to be discovered.
Use old nail polish to make key-finding much easier
This one's for those of you who consider themselves forgetful people, too. The person that loses their bobby pins is probably the same one that gets confused about which key opens which door. In fact, it's more common to have more than one on your keychain, so this confusion is a worldwide phenomenon. Have you ever considered labeling them with paint?
As straightforward as it sounds, it's weird how nobody does this. To identify each key quicker, paint them with different colored nail polishes. Thanks to this, they will stand out in your purse, and you'll be able to associate each place with each color. If you're extremely forgetful, you can keep a list detailing which shade should open which building.
Get rid of last-minute clothing wrinkles with an old hair straightener
While some women begin getting ready two hours before they head to a party, others are more adventurous and enjoy the rush of doing everything last minute, including dressing up and getting their hair and makeup done. But doing this may bring about potential fails, such as wearing stained or wrinkled clothes, or messing up their eyeliner.
If you identify with the second group of women, this hack's for you. When you're rushing from one place of your house to the other, grab your flat iron and plug it in. While you're doing your makeup, use the device to fix those wrinkles you didn't notice on your outfit when you picked it in a hurry. Be careful not to burn it, though.
Nature’s Botox: Try the natural way to a smooth glowing skin
We all know that bananas are good for us, giving us our daily dose of potassium and what-not. But now it's time to turn our attention to its other benefits. Considered 'nature's botox,' a DIY banana face mask can give your face that natural lift.
The DIY firming banana face mask includes half of a ripe banana, ½ tsp raw honey and 2 drops of lavender essential oil (optional). Muddle and stir it all together and apply it all over your face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse well with water after 10 minutes. Repeat 1-3 times a week. We promise you'll go bananas for it!
Put baking soda inside your shoes to remove stinky smells
This one's about to get really disgusting. Many consider this following problem a taboo, but it's important to address it in order to arrive at a solution. Some people find it really embarrassing to take off their shoes or get told off whenever they do, due to their smelly feet. This situation can lead to some very awkward moments, so remember this tip in case you need it later.
To get rid of the yucky smell on your shoes, put some paper towels inside of them. Later, add four spoons of baking soda inside each one. You should leave it like that for the entire night if you want this hack to be effective. The following day you'll have freshly-smelling shoes, and you won't feel self-conscious about taking off your trainers again.
Contour your face by drawing a number three shape with your makeup brush
Contouring serves to make your face look thinner. It can be quite challenging to get this technique right, as it's easy to apply too much bronzer and end up not looking natural. Another popular mistake is getting the areas where the product should be applied wrong. The insane amount of YouTube tutorials certainly help, but they're sometimes too complicated to follow, right?
The image above illustrates a simple way of contouring your face. It's also simple to remember, for it's called the Number 3 Rule. Once you've dusted your makeup brush with bronzer, draw a three on your face beginning from your temple, following the line to your cheekbones, and ending right on your jawline. With this tip, you won't spend hours looking at online tutorials again.
Use coffee beans to organize your makeup brushes
Coffee is the only thing that gets many people through their days without falling asleep. What would you do without it? Probably, you'd be constantly yawning and in a bad mood. As it turns out, coffee beans serve other purposes besides being tasty and keeping the world awake. They can also help you organize your makeup brushes so you can recognize them quickly.
For this hack, find an empty glass container inside your house and pour some coffee beans inside. The quantity of beans depends on the size of your vase, but the key here is that, when you place your makeup brushes, they should sit straight. This way, you'll tell which serves what purpose quite easily. On top of that, your whole room will smell of delicious coffee.
Transform an old T-shirt into your hair's best friend
You must know that using heat to dry your hair can have really damaging effects. Though that solution is quick, overtime, it can burn your hair and leave it looking dry and unhealthy. So you should look for other options to achieve the same effect after you get out of the shower. A towel will do the trick, but sometimes they're all in the washing machine, right?
So why don't you use an old T-shirt you don't wear anymore? Instead of throwing it away, use it as a substitute towel. Simply wrap your wet hair around it like the woman in the picture above and wait for about an hour. Your hair will end up looking glossy and your curls will be perfectly formed. No need to use heat or damaging products!
Apply some black tea to your skin and you'll look like a bronzed goddess
This may seem like a weird use of food for beauty purposes, but you're gonna have to trust the people that tried this tip and succeeded. Black tea is famous because it contains antioxidants and gives its consumers an energizing effect similar to coffee. But the secret behind this tasty drink is that it can actually give a tanned look to your skin.
Look at the difference between this girl's legs. Just boil a few tea bags for twenty minutes and wait for the liquid to be completely cool. Afterward, apply it to your whole body. Not only will you notice the change in color immediately, but you'll also feel your skin softer and moisturized. Next time you go grocery shopping, don't forget to buy this natural tanner.
Make your hair grow faster with rice water
Many of us girls are constantly wishing for hair growth along with that gorgeous sheen. Asian girls have had it for years and now we uncover their secret to getting the same result.
With essential nutrients to strengthen the hair and prevent hair shedding, rice water is deemed to be a miracle hair grower. All you need to do is soak rice water and leave it between 3-24 hours (depending on the rice water), then use it on your hair after shampoo.
Blow-dry your lashes while you're curling them to achieve the effect of having lash extensions
Some mascaras work wonders, but, unfortunately, those women who weren't born with naturally long lashes may still be unsatisfied with the result after applying many coats. Having short lashes might even undermine their confidence. Hopefully, this next tip will be helpful to them. Everyone who's tested this peculiar method of making their eyelashes longer can't stop raving about it.
Grab your blow dryer, turn it on low heat and direct it towards your lashes as you're using your eyelash curler. Like what happens to your hair whenever you strengthen it with your iron, the heat of this device will make your lashes appear longer. Once you're done, apply mascara as you usually do. You'll ask yourself whether you secretly put on lash extensions while sleepwalking.
Use lemon and baking soda to get rid of the dark spots that appear on your armpits after you've shaved with a razor
Waxing is the cleanest way of shaving. However, it can be quite painful and time-consuming. You have to wait for the wax to heat up and melt, and then wait some more to remove the wax strip once it's cooled down. As a result, many women find shaving with a razor a faster and more convenient alternative. But this one, too, has its drawbacks.
Tiny dark spots often appear on your armpits, and they can be a bit of a headache, right? All you need to solve this problem is a teaspoon of baking soda and half a lemon. Squeeze the lemon and mix both ingredients. Then, rub your armpits with this solution once a day. In less than a week, you'll have smooth, clear armpits again.
Have amazing white teeth thanks to banana, strawberries, and more baking soda
Baking soda seems to be the main star on this list. Its benefits go on and on. It fixes smelly shoes, exfoliates your shaved armpits, and now, helps whiten your teeth. Besides, you must've noticed many fruits have proven to be incredibly useful when it comes to improving your appearance. This hack features both baking soda and edible ingredients.
To have incredibly white teeth, mix a strawberry with half a banana and a tablespoon of baking soda. Wait ten minutes before you apply it to your teeth. The next step is to let the mixture sit for two minutes and rinse with water. Remember not to swallow it, as baking soda shouldn't be eaten. Seeing the results of this natural solution will undoubtedly surprise you.
Clean your stained garments by applying a coat of shaving foam
Shaving foam is meant to moisturize your skin, but that isn't the sole benefit this product offers. If you're a messy eater, chances are you've stained your clothes hundreds of times. No matter how close to the table you sit, you always manage to get some stains of food on your garments. Have you considered finding the solution in your bathroom cabinet?
When you've once again stained your favorite shirt, apply a thin layer of shaving foam to the ruined part of your garment. Wait half an hour and throw it inside the washing machine. You won't be able to see the stain once it's done washing. The same process can be done with stained carpets, but make sure to take the carpet's fabric into consideration.
Place tea bags inside your shoes to get rid of unpleasant odors
This hack features two themes you've already read about: tea bags and smelly feet. Tea could be seen as a natural perfume, right? Though this isn't exactly a health benefit, these natural herbs can be used to combat disgusting stenches. If you're an athlete or someone whose body odors aren't the nicest, take a look at this helpful and straightforward hack.
Similarly to the tip involving baking soda, place some tea bags inside your shoes or sneakers and leave them overnight. The bags will absorb your sweat and give your trainers a nice fresh smell. No one will suspect your feet smelled badly in the first place. Just make sure to hide your shoes if you're planning on hosting a house party.
Conceal the bald spots on your hair by covering them with makeup
Like smelly feet, hair loss can be a source of frustration for many people. What some may believe to be a harmless medical condition can actually make its protagonists feel insecure. There are various hair treatments aimed at avoiding bald spots, but these tend to take their time before showing results. If you suffer from this problem, take a look at this next tip.
Find the makeup shade that best fits your hair color and apply it over your bald spots with a brush. You can also try this hack if you want your hair to seem thicker. At the end of the day, many women apply makeup powder to cover bald spaces in their eyebrows. So why not do the same with your actual hair?
Wear your bobby pins correctly with their wavy side facing down
You've learned to create a special storage place to avoid losing bobby pins, but here you'll find out the right way of using them. In all likelihood, you've been putting these pins on your hair since middle school, when you wanted your crazy hairdo composed of hundreds of braids to stay put. Get ready for some groundbreaking news, cause you've been using them wrong all along.
Look at the picture above and wait for your jaw to drop. No wonder your bobby pins fell to the floor after a few hours, right? Also, if your hairstyle didn't make it through the entire day, this is why. The wavy part should've always faced down, so it can grip onto your hair. Now, it's your turn to spread the word.
Use a lighter on the tip of your eyeliner pencil to avoid smudged makeup
You must be aware of the fact that eyeliner pencils tend to smudge more often than liquid or gel liners. For this reason, many prefer wearing the latter products. Still, pencil eyeliners are the only way of lining the inside part of your eyes, bringing depth to your gaze. Also, you can create the best smokey eyes. So grab your eyeliner pencil for this next hack.
You'll also require a lighter. The process is pretty simple: place the sharpened end of your pencil eyeliner above the lighter's flame. Then, wait for the heated tip to dry. It shouldn't melt completely but have the consistency of a gel. This way, your makeup will stay on for longer when you apply eyeliner pencil. Messy eye makeup won't be a problem anymore.
Get fuller lips by massaging them using your favorite face cream
Big lips have recently become a beauty trend, with celebrity Kylie Jenner being the most famous ambassador of this movement. The youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan was really insecure about her thin lips, so she started lining them. Not long after that, she launched her own lip kit with numerous shades of lipsticks and liners. Besides applying makeup, she started getting lip fillers.
There's no need to artificially modify the size of your lips when you can find an alternative natural solution. If you want fuller lips, massage them with your hands from the center to the sides using your go-to face cream. Maybe they won't look like you just got lip fillers, but this way, you'll go to sleep knowing you won't experience any harmful side effects.
Clear your greasy face pores with this lemon and baking soda solution
If you've ever had blackheads on your nose, you know how difficult it is to make them go away. These tiny spots are actually clogged pores that have collected dirt, bacteria, and body oils. Hoping they disappear, you probably tried washing your face in the shower with glycerin soap. Lucky for you, here's an effective hack to free your face of bacteria.
To clear your pores, mix baking soda and freshly squeezed orange juice. Apply to your skin and wait a few minutes before removing the solution. You'll see the results immediately, and your body will thank you. With those black dots on your nose gone, you'll have one less thing to worry about. Why don't you start planning your next home spa session?
Transform oily hair with baby powder as a dry shampoo alternative
Baby powder's primary uses are to soothe rashes on infants' bottoms and eliminate negative body odors. But baby talcum powder has other alternative benefits that you can incorporate into your beauty routine. If you deal with oily hair, you've probably gone through countless dry shampoo bottles without any success. Well, worry no more, because baby powder's here to save you.
This is the perfect dry shampoo substitute. Besides, its effects last longer. To prevent oily hair, simply sprinkle baby talcum powder on your scalp and massage it delicately. You'll be amazed by how quickly your opaque greasy hair turns soft and shiny. Plus, if you weren't blessed with wavy hair, this product will give you volume. What more could you ask for?
Get crafty and create a hair donut with a sock and a pair of scissors
Slick buns are probably among the top three classiest hairstyles. Wearing one instantly gives you the feeling of being a ballerina about to perform in a ballet recital. Also, these are pretty easy to make, right? In less than a minute, you can have a hairdo that's both elegant and effortless. The only downside is how frequently hair donuts get lost.
If you're absent-minded and tend to forget where you leave your hair accessories, make this classy bun using only a pair of scissors and a sock. First, cut your sock and roll it up in the shape of a donut. Then, tie your hair and place your new hair donut over the end of your ponytail. Wrap your hair around it, and you're done.
Sprinkle baking soda on your mattress to repel bed bugs and absorb grease stains
In case you were missing this useful ingredient, baking soda makes its return in this hack. This time, the product will go neither on your lips nor in your shoes, but on your mattress. You must have seen bed bugs hiding on your bedding set at least once in your life. So why don't you call your new best friend to the rescue?
Of course, that's not your local exterminator. To avoid getting stung in your sleep by creepy crawlies, reach for your baking soda and sprinkle some on your mattress. The product should sit there for 24 hours, so consider spending the night on your couch or asking your friends to put you up. You'll see that, besides killing bed bugs, the grease on your mattress will also be absorbed.
Use a razor to remove lint off your old wool sweaters and cardigans
Think about that sweater you bought all those years ago but can't find the courage to throw away. Maybe its unique color suits you like no other, or you love the shape it gives your body. However, annoying lint and fuzz balls have probably taken over its fabric over time. With this next hack, you'll find the perfect justification to keep it.
Look for a sharp razor, preferably one with two rows of blades, and place your old, fuzzy sweaters on a flat surface. Once you've done that, shave in the opposite direction of the lint balls in order to remove them better. The pilling on your favorite garments will be gone in minutes. For health reasons, don't use that same razor on your body.
Master the classic winged eyeliner look by placing tape around your eyes
You may remember that you've already learned how to create a cat-eye with a silver spoon. This hack offers another technique that is just as simple. The thing about winged eyeliner is that it makes your eyes seem bigger, and it's a versatile choice that works for both a first date and a night out with friends. Like red lips and black heels, it's timeless.
To create the perfect, neatest wing, cut some Scotch tape in a triangular shape and stick it on the corners of your eyes. The tape must follow your eyes' natural shape. Grab your favorite liquid eyeliner or eyeliner pencil and draw over the tape. Not only does this tip work wonders, but it's also handy for those days when you're in a rush.
Use tea bags to conceal black under eyes after a sleepless night
Whether it was a job interview, a meeting with your boss, or a coffee with someone you like, you probably went through that one situation that had you tossing and turning all night. What's more, the following day, you woke up to find your eyes looking all puffy, with massive black under eyes that couldn't even be covered by applying ten layers of concealer.
Surprisingly, tea bags can solve this problem. Just grab a pair, sink them in water, and put them inside the fridge. Once the tea bags are cold, place them over and under your eyes and leave them there for ten minutes. On top of making the puffiness disappear, this will help you relax before your big day.
Make your eyes and lips appear bigger by applying white eyeliner
Now that you've learned to create the perfect wing, you can take the next step and buy white eyeliner. It's not the most popular choice, with black eye makeup dominating the market and, probably, your party looks. But it's nice to be adventurous and switch things off every so often, right? Besides, wearing this color will make you stand out from the rest.
You can apply white eyeliner to both your eyes and lips. If you're going for the first option, create a line over your regular black eyeliner. Your eyes will look bigger, and the liner at the bottom will be more noticeable. To achieve the effect of fuller lips, simply outline them with your white eyeliner before you apply your favorite colored lipstick.
Restore jewelry's shine with toothpaste and water
This may sound odd, but jewelry needs to be cleaned every now and then. According to the American Jewelers Association, there are professional jewelry cleaners that offer this service, like laundry workers that wash your garments. But you shouldn't waste your money when you can do this at home, all by yourself. Also, these items are tiny, which makes the work easier.
So grab a cup, and mix some water with toothpaste. The following step is to soak your jewelry items in your toothpaste water for half an hour. Afterward, find an old toothbrush that you don't use anymore and begin brushing your rings and earrings. They'll look like when you first bought them from the store, and you won't have spent a penny.
Easy polka dot nails with a common first aid item
Nail designs aren't for everyone. In fact, they're reserved for a select few who are also extremely talented at drawing, and, most probably, painting Renaissance-looking works of art. What's left for the other mundane nail art lovers? Luckily, there's a simple way of painting like a pro. Check out this hack before booking your next appointment at your local nail salon.
This tip only applies to those wanting to get polka dots on their nails. You'll need two colors of nail polish, one for the dots and the other for the background. Once the first color has dried, simply place band-aids over it and use the little dots as a filter. Those that know you won't believe you've managed to create this amazing manicure style.
Put citrus fruits in your bath to make it feel like a spa
After a long day, nothing beats a soothing bath. But instead of artificial bath bombs, there's a natural alternative that can elevate your bath time. This method not only refreshes but also offers health benefits, all with ingredients from your home.
For a rejuvenating bath, add thin slices of citrus fruits like lemons, oranges, and grapefruits to your water. These fruits not only infuse your bath with a delightful aroma but also help tighten pores and boost circulation, providing a spa-like experience at home.
