Double-duty beauty hacks that work every time

Being devoted to all things beauty, you’ve probably got products stashed everywhere and are rarely caught in a beauty dilemma. But sometimes, you need a quick trick to save the day. Bookmark these beauty hacks, just in case...
CALM THOSE BROWS
Brows outta control and there isn’t a spoolie, brow gel or brow wax in sight? Grab the closest lip balm you can find and use your fingertips to smooth it over your brows, taming and shaping them as you go. .
We love: Vaseline Petroleum Jelly, KORA Organics Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm
A CLOSE SHAVE
When you’ve run out of shaving cream and can’t possibly go one more day without de-fuzzing, slather wet legs with a dollop of hair conditioner. It works just as well in a pinch.
We love: Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner, Moroccanoil Hydrating Conditioner
LOVE YOUR LIPS
If your lips are looking and feeling worse for wear, and you can’t find one of your 10 hydrating lip balms, nourish them with a drop of facial oil. Simply massage one drop into lips to help heal and repair cracks and dryness.
We love: Swisse Macadamia and Chamomile Face Oil, Kosmea Certified Organic Rose Hip Oil
FIGHT THE FUZZ
Is this crazy weather causing your frizz to get out of hand? Tame flyaways by coating your hands in a very light layer of body lotion or oil and gently running them over your lengths and ends. Oh hey there, smooth strands!
We love: Rosehip by essano Intensive Hydrating Body Lotion, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Moisturising Body Oil
STRAIGHT LINES
If your eyeliner pencil’s broken and leaving the house without defined peepers is not an option, stress less. Just use a dark brown brow pencil instead! The same goes for your brows - a brown eyeliner can double up as a brow definer.
We love: Designer Brands Brow Pencil, Mode Eye Pencil
RECTIFY YOUR ROOTS
Hide visible roots in an instant by grabbing an eyeshadow that’s as close to your hair colour as possible. Dust an old toothbrush in it, then brush it over roots. How easy is that?!
We love: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow, Max Factor Earth Spirit Eye Shadow Pots

Princess diaries! What a classic movie! But definitely the brows tip - they define your face if they're trimmed neatly

using facial oil even my brow oil to moisturise and soften my dry lips. I like the hack about using hair conditioner to prime and soften the hairs prior to shaving these off my legs or even pits. Those shaving creams or lotions does not only come n small bottles ot tubes, they are quite expensive too!

The brows and frizz hacks are interesting. I have heard of the conditioner as shaving cream one before but I've never tried it.

Conditioner is good for shaving legs! Coconut oil can be used as a hair serum too.
