MAX FOR YOUR CASH

Store makeup and nail polish in a cool dry area.

Keep caps on tight to prevent melting or color separation.

A LITTLE DAB WILL DO

All you need is a quarter size of moisturizer no matter what your skin type. Anything more is a waste of product and money.

Use your toothpaste dry. It will work more effectively and you’ll need less.

USE YOUR FINGERS

Apply a nickel-sized dose of foundation with your fingers. Using a sponge wastes product since the sponge will absorb some of the foundation.

THE LAST DROP

Store remaining makeup upside down to get the last bit out. Do the same with shampoos and body treatments.

Apply nail polish thinner to an almost-empty nail polish bottle.

Dilute the last quarter of shampoos and conditioners with an equal amount of water.

Fix a BROKEN LIPSTICK by heating it with a hair dryer. Then reattach it and store overnight in the refrigerator.
