How to Make Use of Beauty Product Fails & Unwanted Gifts?

You don’t feel like throwing away cosmetics which turned out to be the wrong choice? Have you received a gift you don’t want but you feel too embarrassed not to accept it? Luckily, there are simple ways to make use of failed shopping or unwanted gifts. Check how to give a new life to your beauty products.

Lip balm

It is not exclusive for lip care. It contains lots of nutrients you can use in many situations. A protective balm is cut out for smoothening and moisturising the nail plate. Try applying it to your lashes to nourish them and increase shine. Use a cotton bud or mascara wand. You may as well upgrade your eyeshadow with a lip balm – mix them well and apply to the eyelids.

Mascara

What can you do when a mascara goes dry? Don’t panic, use your brain! Put a tube in warm water and let the mascara go back to the right form. You can try pouring eye drops, a toner or flower water into the bottle too. This way you make the product last around seven days longer.

Hair products

If a shampoo, conditioner or mask doesn’t fulfil its function, use it in a totally different way. Shampoos replace shower gels, hand soaps or detergents for washing clothes by hand. Surprisingly, a hair conditioner can replace your shaving gel or even work better than a traditional shaving product.

Old lipsticks

What can you do when a lipstick dries off and you don’t feel like throwing it away? Apply it with your finger – the product changes its consistency thanks to the warmth of your body and skin. You can also try moving the product to a bowl and warming it up. If you have a few lipsticks which are almost out, you can mix them and get one unique color.

Sunblock

It is second to none when speaking of sun protection. If summer is long gone but the sunscreen is not, don’t get rid of it. You won’t be able to use this one next year because it will lose its qualities but why don’t you use it as a body lotion?

Blush

You can add some loose blush to slightly warmed lipstick or cosmetic vaseline. The mix will enhance every makeup and skin type. You can use a blush as an eyeshadow too.
