I love discovering new beauty techniques to work with. Nowadays, beauty bloggers are experimenting with all different sorts of products and makeup. Have you heard of bloggers using hard boiled eggs as beauty blenders? While trying out these cool trends seem like fun, there are 5 tricks in specific I absolutely swear by.

Beauty Trick #1: Apply concealer in triangles under your eyes

Dark circles are inevitable. Something I discovered a few years ago before contouring blew up, was to draw triangles underneath of my eyes with concealer. This brightens up the entire face and is really effective in covering darkness underneath the eyes.

Beauty Trick #2: Wet eye shadow brushes

Before applying eye shadow, dampen your eye shadow brushes. A wet eye shadow brush makes the colors appear much more vibrant on your skin.

Beauty Trick #3: Exfoliate lips with a toothbrush

This is great to do before applying lip colors because it wipes away any dry skin and creates the perfect canvas! A toothbrush makes a great exfoliator for your lips and make them smooth and supple

Beauty Trick #4: Apply two different mascaras

Falsies can be irritating, and aren't necessary for a day-to-day basis. Instead of using falsies, try layering your mascaras. Currently, I use Benefit Roller Lash along with L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Volume Building Mascara!

Beauty Trick #5: Prime face with color corrector

Before applying my foundation, I apply a green primer to cancel out the redness. This creates a smooth, and even base for my foundation. I use Correcting Primer- Redness Reducer in green by PUR. Of course there are many different shades suitable for different skin types.

These beauty hacks can make a huge difference in your routine without making any drastic changes. Happy blending!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
