4 make-up products that have second uses

With all of the fancy beauty lotions and potions out there, it’s easy to spend a small fortune stocking the beauty cabinet, however, these common beauty products can be used for more that one thing. Prepare to save your hard-earned dollars.

1. Lipstick

Lipsticks can also be used as blush and bronzer by simply dotting a small amount of the product along your cheekbone. A lipstick turned blush/bronzer/highlighter makes it easier for you to experiment without having to spend more money on fiddly products. 

2. Vaseline

Use it as a lip balm, an overnight skin replenishing treatment (great for holidays, camping/hiking trips as well as all other times when you don’t want your precious skincare products melting and jumbling inside luggage and backpacks), a make-up remover or mix it up with loose eyeshadows or blushes for a budget friendly highlighter.

3. Lip balm

Apart from its original purpose of soothing, moisturising and preventing chapped lips, this magnificent product work wonders for dry hands as well as that unsightly side effects of a cold – also known as chapped nose.

4. Conditioner

Hop out of the shower while leaving conditioner soaking in your hair for a cheap, moisturising hair treatment. You can also use conditioner as a silky smooth shaving cream.
