Beauty Hacks You Want To Know

My foray into the world of hacking started late last year when I saw a beauty hack somewhere online, tried it and it worked. I was astonished and I decided to find out others. Getting more for less in the Beauty department can give you one tingly feeling and you just want to go on and on with experimenting. Read these beauty hacks I can bet you never knew of and GLOWW.

- Go natural with your makeup remover by using coconut oil/vaseline. This one is the truth. It works even for those stubborn matte lipsticks. It will not only remove your makeup, it would also moisturise your skin leaving it supple and smooth.

-There's this colour in your eyeshadow palette you'd rather have on your nails? Just crush it, mix with clear nail polish and voila! No expenses incurred, you just got yourself a unique nail colour.

- All that lipstick in and you still aren't doing anything to eliminate dead cells? Give yourself that cute pinky pout by exfoliating either with a soft toothbrush or a DIY lip scrub consisting of sugar, honey, coconut oil/olive oil.

- So you've been defeating the purpose of which you're washing your face by not washing your hands first? Stop doing that and you'll stop introducing more bacteria to your face.

-We all have that lipstick we love but whyyyy does it have to look so intense? Solve this by applying with your fingertip instead of straight from the tube.

- You've run out of nail remover? Just apply clear nail polish to cotton wool and dab it on the nail you want to clean.

- Solve that problem pimple by dabbing some honey on it before you sleep and you'll wake up to see it's not as serious. Honey acts as an antibacterial agent.

- You accidentally bought a foundation that's a tad too dark? Of course, you don't want to throw it away. Just add a bit of moisturiser to help lighten it and you're good to go.

There are numerous hacks out there but I thought to limit this post to only those I've tried. I wrote down a lot I intend to try but procrastination won't let me be. What other hacks work for you? Please let me know and don't forget to use the various share buttons. Happy Hacking!!

      read about it.

      is to sleep on
      your back oh
      and apply it
      minimally.

  4. Yess, the coconut oil as a makeup remover is one that I use. Also, if I'm doing my makeup and I end up smudging my eyeliner, I just use some coconut oil to wipe off the smudge, it works. I've never heard of the dark foundation hack though, thank you for sharing. And thank you for your lovely comment. xx

  9. I have tried the coconut oil makeup remover and it works perfectly!
    I also made my own hair detangler with extra virgin coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil and water. I wrote about it on my blog. Works like a charm!
    Just last night I made my own body exfoliating scrub with extra virgin coconut oil, brown sugar and lime juice. Totally loving it.
    These hacks saves a lot of money and are healthier.
    Thanks for the helpful post, Olaa!

  13. Coconut oil as a makeup remover is the actual truth! In fact, it reduces he harshness of whatever face wash I use after and ensures that my skin is not stripped of all its natural oils.

    Very useful hacks, I'll try the honey one soon.

Life Update: 2018 Birthday Post

I was unsure about the idea of writing a birthday post this year because it's not very timely till I checked the posts of the last 2 years - 2016  and 2017 - and I realized they both went up on the 17th of March, 3 days after my birthday so why not continue the trend? Unlike the previous years, this was quite uneventful as I was in transit for some time, traveling to school to get stuff submitted and then rounding everything off pretty late so that I was unable to travel back home that same day. I had no extra clothing or toiletries so that was annoying but I pulled through nevertheless. I have a ritual of getting myself something but so far, I've not really seen what I'm interested in. A God sent person got me a book I've been looking to get my hands on for quite some time now and I was too happyyy! I'm definitely going to update this post with pictures of it later on. I'm really excited and looking forward to all what God has in store for me thi

Quick Life Update : The Abusive Relationship I Am In

I trusted him completely but he broke my heart and still is in the business of breaking it. His promise to always be with me Everywhere I Go was alas a lie. He said that only to catch my attention and make me his. He gave me mouth-watering packages that offered me less for more but it turned out to be a façade. I'm tired and frustrated. I can't carry out my normal routine with all he's been doing. I trusted him just this once and he disappointed me. I never should have promoted him from the zone I placed him in initially. I remember all the times I heard people complain about theirs and I was always relieved I wasn't in their shoes but guess where I am now? I guess that's what life does. Sit in a corner and laugh at you. Nice job. He looks so attractive on the outside but deep down, there's nothing exciting about  him. A big fat façade. I miss the things I could have been doing if I hadn't made the mistake of trusting him too much. His favourite colour is

Wedding Day Thrills : 6 Things I Look Forward to & 3 That I Don't!

Hey guys, I've not posted in a while. Isn't it nice how that screams consistency? Lol jokes. I promise to do better. I was watching TV the other day and came across this 'It's my wedding' program that showcases all the activities couples go through in prep for their wedding day. I remember being insanely attracted to all the Ovation magazines with wedding pictures when I was way younger.  I was constantly devouring the pictures and you'd think I'd grow up to become a bridal consultant or something close. Life oh Life. My mantra has always been 'I'm looking forward to my wedding day and not exactly to marriage' but who am I deceiving? Lol. I think every girl has their wedding fantasy kept somewhere close for easy editing and all so I thought to share some of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting wedded. •  Pre-wedding shoot : Some years back, this wouldn't have been on the list but with all these beautiful and also hilariou
