I'm ready to unload some the best secrets and tips that even your salon professionals use.
Of course they would like for you to buy their products and will tell you they are the best in order to make the sale, but I'm pretty sure they're not being honest in telling you what products are really on the back bar in their salons.
As a frugal person myself, I've always shared my secrets with my clients. I earn my living selling my services, not products. Here a few for you to enjoy!
1. To dry nail polish in a hurry, spray nails with PAM cooking
oil Spray.
2. Olive oil can be added to bath water for a skin softener.
3. Toner/Astringent -- Use witch hazel instead. No need to dilute -- use full strength. You can also rinse with a splash of Apple Cider Vinegar after cleansing -- it balances out the ph of your skin.
4. Cut back on the amount of shampoo you use. Do the same with toothpaste. The manufacturers want us to use more, so we buy more.
5. Keep your pantyhose in the freezer, and they will last longer.
6. For great lotion, mix one-part lotion with one-part
Vaseline. It works better than plain lotion, and, depending on the cost of your lotion, you can stretch its value.
7. To prevent hair pins from falling out, bend one prong in a "V" about halfway up and insert in hair. It will stay.
8. Old lipstick tubes, thoroughly cleaned, are great for purse-sized pill boxes or for pins.
9. Use hydrogen peroxide as an inexpensive nail bleach.
10. For an excellent facial, mix dry oatmeal and water into a paste and spread on face. Lie down and let it dry. Wash off with warm water.

Here are 12 Free Beauty Tips : Makeup And Cosmetics
Use these 12 free beauty tips to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your choice of
make-up and cosmetics:
1. When shopping for lip color and eye shadow, put a clean sheet of white paper in your
bag. New lip colors can be tested on the paper along with a strip of eye shadow. You can
then examine the colors in daylight outside, away from the artificial lighting in the
store.
2. Fragrance: Use two light formulas together to lock a scent in rather than a heavy
application of one fragrance which can overwhelm those close to you. Using a scented body
cream and then lightly spraying with an eau de toilette or parfum of the same scent will
still result in a long-lasting effect.
3. Just use regular cold cream to remove oil-based makeup.
4. Make your nails seem more slender by applying a dark nail varnish down the center part
of the nail being careful not to take it right to the edge of the sides of nail.
5. When testing the color of a foundation and you are already wearing a foundation, use
the areas on your neck or inner arm. The skin tone in these areas matches the face more
closely than the hands and a better judgment can be made.
6. To find the best spot to apply blush, smile widely, take note of where the cheek rises
to a round shape. This lifted part of the cheek is the best place for blush to look
natural as a flush will often color this area of the cheek.
7. For concealer to last many hours, be sure to apply it in small amounts at a time in two
or three layers. This technique guarantees long wear.
8. With oily skin, avoid toners that contain alcohol as these can dry out the skin and
block impurities beneath the surface. To avoid over drying the skin use toners containing
AHA's. They help to smooth the skin's texture.
9. Every so often gather all the make-up you have from various places and do an analysis.
Be ruthless and throw out anything over two years old, that has a musty odor, that is
messy or runny, where liquids have separated, or anything that is dirty or falling apart
such as sponges and brushes. By optimizing in this way you can purchase new supplies where
needed and keep your make-up kit in top condition.
10. If you have oily skin, use very little moisturizer or, if possible, none at all. Too
much moisturizer on oily skin can cause makeup to slide away.
11. If lip lines are a problem, apply lipstick vertically instead of horizontally.
12. When removing makeup, take a Q-tip which has been dipped in a non-oily remover and run
it over the eyelashes to take off any remaining mascara.
