Hi Guys,
It seems like lately I’ve been reading some of the greatest beauty tips. I see them all over the place: in magazines, online, on TV, etc. And since we’re all in this game of looking gorgeous together, I figured I’d start a new segment here at The Lounge. Please join me in welcoming our new baby: Beauty Tip Friday – Random Tricks to Make You Fabulous! Some of these tips may be brand new to you, and some you may have heard, but forgotten about. In any case, I hope you find them fun and useful.
I’m so excited about this new series and I hope you love it. If there’s something you’d like me to feature, just drop me an email and let me know! 
Enjoy!!
Random Tip #1 - Extend the life of your lipstick. Apply your lipstick with a lipstick brush, rather than straight from the tube. You’ll use a lot less lipstick this way and will have better control over where the color ends up on your pout.
Random Tip #2 - Keep your mani chip-proof and fresh. Apply a thin horizontal swipe across the top edge of (and slightly underneath) your nail at the end of each coat. This keeps the polish from pulling away from the tip as it dries, which can lead to chipping troubles.
Random Tip #3 - Control fly-aways with a dryer sheet (or hand cream if no dryer sheet is handy). The lightweight softeners in dryer sheets can smooth your hair’s dry cuticles and tame it down in a hurry. If you should happen to discover the horror that is fuzz-head while you’re at school, bust out some hand cream, warm it between your palms, and smooth it gently over those unruly strands. Voila!
Random Tip #4 - Save money on shampoo. Believe it or not, your hair will be just fine with less shampoo, rather than more. Since shampoos are now more concentrated than ever, you really only need about a quarter-sized dollop to do the trick.
Random Tip #5 – Keep your nail polish fresh and thin. Storing your polish in the fridge will stabilize its ingredients and keep it from becoming too thick and gooey. (This is an especially good tip with warm and humid weather fast approaching!)
