Get Glossy

This is always super annoying. There's lip gloss left in the tube but you just can't get the rest out. (This can totally work for mascara or anything else that's gel-like!) Boil a cup of water for 5 minutes in the microwave. Drop your tube in for a couple of minutes. The heat will loosen up the product that's stuck to the tube or bottle so that you can scoop it out.

Wet Nails?

Coating your nails in cooking spray will help them dry crazy quick. Just don't use any garlic flavored ones--unless you're into that sort of thing. ShutterStock.com

Ice Ice Baby

If you don't have cooking spray, sliding your nails into a bowl of ice water will leave your nails COMPLETELY dry and any of those messy mistakes on your skin will have fallen off! ShutterStock.com

Worse Than A Headache

If you're breaking out an aspirin mask will help shrink and heal your zits in a few minutes. Grab a couple of aspirin, pour a few teaspoons of water onto them and they'll begin to dissolve. Rub the paste on your face and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash off and bask in the results! ShutterStock.com

Zit Attack

Toothpaste can be a great spot treatment for acne, just steer clear of the gel ones. Arm & Hammer tends to make the bests toothpastes for zits. ShutterStock.com

Tame The Frizz

If you've skipped a wash or your hair is super frizzy, rubbing a dryer sheet over those wild strands will tame them and make your hair smell AWESOME! Amazoncom

Oil Slick

This is pretty invaluable. Instead of over-washing your hair, if you rub baking soda or baby powder onto your scalp it will absorb all the oil. ShutterStock.com

Exfoli-Tape

If your lips are super flaky, scotch tape is your friend. Just put a few pieces on your lips and pull off the dead skin. Your glosses, stains and lipsticks will go on super smooth. ShutterStock.com

Bad Breath

Eat a banana or yogurt. Both help to reduce odor-causing compounds in the mouth like hydrogen sulfide and ketone. ShutterStock.com

Flintsone Feet

Instead of dropping dollars on a pedicure, if you coat your feet with Vaseline before bed. (Wear socks to skip the mess!) Your feet will be smooth as a baby's butt. ShutterStock.com

Get Funky

Sprinkle baby powder into your shoes. It will deodorize and absorb any sweat from your feet. ShutterStock.com

Girl, You Shinin'

Everyone's face gets a little oily by the end of the day. If you don't have oil blotting papers a sheet of toilet paper will do the trick. Trust us, it will be transparent after blotting your T-Zone. ShutterStock.com

Green Thumbs

I love costume jewelry but green fingers can be a little weird. Paint all your fakes with clear nail polish and they'll stay silver forever. ShutterStock.com

Not Just For Salads

Olive oil is awesome for removing makeup, especially stubborn makeup like waterproof mascara or long lasting lipsticks. Put some on a cotton ball and gently wipe off the day. Plus, olive oil is rich in vitamin E and vitamin K which is awesome for the skin. Just be sure to cleanse your face after as usual. ShutterStock.com

Nails On Fire

If you don't have a nail file on hand the black strip on a book of matches is a great makeshift file. ShutterStock.com

Get Those Natural Curls

No curling iron or rollers? You can easily roll your hair in strips of paper bag. You're hair doesn't have to be wet and there's no heat necessary. Check out this awesome tutorial. ShutterStock.com

Wrinkles Be Gone

I've never owned an iron, but that doesn't mean my clothes don't get wrinkled! Boil some water in a tea kettle and use it the same way you would use an electric iron. ShutterStock.com

Pants Don't Fit?

Winter is coming and if you're like 99% of the population you may be inclined to put on a few extra pounds. That's totally normal (cold weather makes us crave fats, mmm!), but there's no need to shell out cash for new jeans. Put a rubberband through the buttonhole and hook the other end onto the button. Just wear a long shirt so no one can see your MacGuyver work. ShutterStock.com
