The Beauty Tip of the Day has been available on this site for a couple of months, and some great tips have been shared. My favorite so far: Apply a dab of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to your eyelashes each day. It conditions your lashes while making the tips look darker.
To kick off the Beauty Tip of the Day program, Unilever sent me a box with products from Pond’s, Dove, Vaseline, and more. They also want to give one of these boxes to a Frugal in Virginia reader. The box of products is a grab bag, so the contents will be a surprise until it arrives at the winner’s house!

I have very fine hair so I only shampoo the top part of my hair. It doesn’t weigh my hair down. Then I condition just a little on the bottom. Thanks for the chance to win this:)

For oily hair and you don’t have time to jump in the shower and or time to wash…give yourself a dry wash with baby powder. Put a little bit of powder at the scalp and through the body of your hair – then fluff and/or brush powder out.
I used pre-packaged face wash cloths (like the Ponds or Neutrogena). They come in a package of 30 and I just cut them in half and have enough for 2 months.
Wash your hair every other day.

I take my eye makeup off with gentle, unscented lotion. It conditions my eye lashes & is gentle on the thin sensitive skin around my eyes.

I mix foundation with face lotion and sunscreen. I get a custom tinted mousturizer with an SPF of 30 for very little.
every couple of weeks i “shampoo” my hair with a little baking soda instead of my regular shampoo. It clarifies all of the buildup out and lets my shampoo and conditioner do their job!

beauty tip- when my heels are super dry in between pedis, I’ll put a TON of vaseline on my feet and rub a ton into my heels and put socks on b4 bed. Then in the morning I use a pumice stone or other foot scrubber and everything cooperates nicely and my feet are super nice and smooth!
my favorite beauty tip was cuting the strips from the pillowcase and twisting hair at night to create curls in the morning. my poor hair has had years of straightening and needs a break!
use canola oil to remove makeup before washing your face with your face wash.

I use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to: smooth unruly eyebrows, sooth chapped lips, soften dry hands, and soften rough elbows and feet. It’s almost a one-stop beauty solution in a jar!

My favorite beauty tip that I have used for almost 20 years and I would be lost if they ever took it off the market is using Infusium Leave-In Conditioning Treatment for dry/damaged hair after every shower and right before styling. It makes my thick hair, soft, shiny and much more manageable. Thank you!

I use Bag Balm on my hands at night during the fall and winter to help with the chapping and cracking. It’s the only lotion or creme that really works for me. I wake up in the morning with healed hands.
I use baby oil on a qtip to remove makeup around my eyes.
I put good moisture lotion on my hands, and then slip my hands into gloves and wear most of the day when I’m home and off of work. It really makes my hands smooth.

Apparently a lot of people do this, but I’ve found it very useful to put a bit more lotion than normal on my hands and feet before bed, then wear socks and gloves so that in the morning, they’re soft and smooth!
I have dry hair, so I only shampoo every other day. I also use a deep conditioner once a week.

How to evenly apply liquid foundation so it feels light and looks great… put small amount of liquid foundation on index finger and dab it on your nose, forehead, cheekbones, and chin, then repeat step with your choice of face lotion, dabbing directly on top of foundation, then using your fingers or makeup sponge rub into your face evenly. I hate wearing foundation, and I learned this tip from my sister in law… and not only does it look great but it also feels like I am not wearing foundation at all.

I actually put my hair in a ponytail and just wash the hair infront and above my ears every other day… fresh in the front and the rest is always clean and keeps from drying out too much
I subscribed to your email. Thanks!!
If you are a brunette (like me :) ) and you are running a little late on your next hair dying appointment…use a little black mascara to cover your grey roots! It works like a charm ;) You may also use a hair dryer after applying the mascara to make sure it won’t smudge off.
I am a subscriber to your email! I hope I win ;) Thanks!
I’m a subscriber, and here’s a tip: If you’re dying your hair at home, take some vaseline and apply it to the edge of your hairline (forehead, temples, back of neck, ears) – it will keep the dye from entering your skin, so any slip ups will be easy to clean up and won’t stain your skin!
For easy-to-pluck eyebrows, hold a hot washcloth (wrung out) over your eyebrow for a minute or so. This opens the pores, so it doesn’t hurt as bad when you pluck! Also, wetting down your eyebrows allows you to see them easier and pluck the perfect shape! A lighted magnifying mirror is helpful also!

Apply concealer, foundation or powder to the top of your eyelids prior to any other makeup. It creates a base and allows eye shadows to stay on longer. Also, for lip color that lasts, try using Vaseline with lip pencil. Put on the vaseline first then the lip pencil (use the pencil all over your lips, not to line them) and use the pencil sparingly until you get the hang of it. Finally, for nails use a colored base coat with a clear coat on top. It lasts much longer!
I use lotion every night before bed. Helps for the next day.
I subscribe by e-mail. Thanks for a great blog!
Before I put my lipgloss or lipstick on, I put a bit of foundation on my lips. It seems to hold the color longer and also stays on my lips longer!

My tip is a frugal one: I tear my cotton ball in half before I use it to apply clarifying lotion or astringent. This not only makes my bag of cotton ball last twice as long it also extends the time between purchases of skin care products as you don’t throw a cotton ball soaked with expensive beauty products in the trash
I get 8 hours of sleep each night.
Thanks!

Beauty tip of the day “be yourself” – I think if you are comfortable in your own skin your natural beauty shines through.
My fave beauty tip is to use lots of 2 in 1 products to keep it quick!

My beauty tip is to take fish oil caps and squish them up and use the oil as a face moisturizer. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and glowing. Martha Stewart swears by it. SO it must be a good thing.

I have really curly hair and the best tip I ever got for it was to “twist” the individual curls. Basically while its still wet, just twist your curls together to give them more definition…Changed my life in HS lol
i use q tips to apply moisturizer or toner.. it helps keep the product concentrated on problem areas and also offers some gentle exfoliation!
Regular table salt and sugar make a good/natural face scrub(exfoliator) . I simply put a bit in a small bowl, take it with me to the shower and about twice a week use it after or even while I use my face cleansing bar. This sluffs off the dead skin and keeps my face looking happy and shiny….all for a low cost. This also works for trouble spots like elbows, knees and calloused heels.

I use hair conditioner to shave my legs. It’s cheap and provides a nice smooth shave
