Helpful Tips & Tricks #2

By Carrie Berschman @CarrieBerschman
Hey friends! Today I am coming at you with the second installment of my (hopefully helpful) beauty tips and tricks. These are things I have read in magazines and blogs over the last couple of years and have found to work very well for me, so why not share with you all?! :) 
1// Pluck stray eyebrows every few days (depending on how fast yours grow). This will save you an hour when you finally make yourself sit down and work on them. 
2// Use a lash conditioner on your lashes AND brows at night. You will notice an improvement in their quality! (Try this one by Jane Iredale)
3// Put a clear gloss or a powder highlight on your cupids bow (center of top lip) to create the illusion of a larger top lip. 
4// Use a cream foundation 2-3 shades darker than your skin as a contour. This makes for easy blending and adds dimension to your face in seconds. (Try this Maybelline one here)

Helpful Tips & Tricks #2

Use this as a guide.
Look for an upcoming post on contouring and highlighting.


5// Don't spend money on blotting papers. Use a Kleenex! It does the same trick. :) 
6// Shave last in your shower routine. The steam softens the hairs and will leave you with a smoother result. 
7// If you don't want to spend the money on a beauty oil, try olive (or coconut) oil on cuticles, split ends, dry lips, etc at night. 
8// If you notice any cellulite creeping up, use coffee grounds as a scrub where needed. The caffeine will stimulate the skin cells and will slough off any dead skin cells. 
9// Treat yourself to a no makeup day! Let your beautiful skin breathe! <3
