[FACEit] pore cleansing strips are too expensive



The deep cleansing pore strips we've been purchasing can be made from two simple ingredients.  These strips are great, but they cost about $8 and only contain 6 strips.  Wether you don't feel like spending the money on them, or you'd like to try something new, here's a recipe I found so you can make them yourself.  All you need is unflavored gelatin and milk.  If you ask me, they work even better than the store bought strips I've tried.
The best part about the homemade strips is that you don't have to stick to one small area of your face, you can do whatever places on your face need it.  Heck, you can do your entire face if you'd like!  And like the strips, as you peel it off you can see all the junk stuck in the gelatin.  After you follow the instructions apply the solution fast because it dries quicker than you think!

[FACEit] you can never find the nail polish color you're looking for in that bag

Make yourself a nail polish rack to make your life easier.  If you have a decent size nail collection you know you can never find the color your looking for.  You just keep digging through it and shaking it around until you finally give up and dump the whole bag onto the floor.  Then, after you find the color your looking for you have to pick them up and put them all back in the bag.
Try making a homemade nail polish rack.  It's cheap, easy, and fun.  All you need is some cardboard, hot glue, and duct tape.  This tutorial explains it all...and the best part, you can change the pattern or color whenever you get sick of it!

[FACEit] you can make many beauty products for less money than you pay for them at the store

You can make your own exfoliating scrub, which is less expensive, and better for you!  Store bought exfoliating scrubs often have chemicals in them that can be harsh on your skin and harmful to the environment anyway!  All you need to start is vanilla, olive oil, salt, and sugar.  This isn't the only thing you can make yourself to save money though.  Here's a site that tells you how to make homemade beauty products like eye liner and shave oil in just a few simple steps.

[FACEit] there is a cheaper, less harmful, and less expensive way to remove unwanted hair



Who wants to go to the salon to get waxed when it's so expensive and painful?  When they do a bad job it's even more disappointing.  You can buy the home waxing kits but for all of us that have tried them, you already know most of them do not work that well or they are too expensive, and the constant need to purchase wax and waxing strips gets pricey too.  Don't you wish you could make a better wax?

I found this recipe online to make your own sugar wax.  I tried it myself and was so impressed with the results!  It took me about 30 minutes to make and I didn't even have to go to the store to buy any ingredients.  All the recipe calls for is suger, water, and lemon juice.  The homemade wax has lasted me longer than any store bought wax, it was way less painful, and it's much better for your skin!  And you know those jeans that you haven't worn in months, that are just taking up space in your closet?  You can cut them up and use them as waxing strips!  (The link explains it all)
