Life in the beauty world can be so hard. There are so many products and techniques, not to mention how pricey it can be. Below are a few tips and tricks to help you survive the beauty world.

1. Heat up your eyeliner

By warming up your eyeliner, it allows for a smoother application. Resulting in instant gel liner.

2. Matte Lipstick

By using a colored powder or translucent powder, you can give your favorite lipstick a matte finish.

3. Tame your brows

This easy hack can tame all those sparse eyebrow hairs. Spray some hairspray on a spoolie brush and comb through your brows.

4. Coconut oil for makeup remover

Coconut oil is a great, all natural way to remove your makeup. It goes on so smoothly and it is gentle on your skin.

5. Baby powder for longer lashes

By dusting on a layer of baby powder, it gives your lashes extra length. By alternating from powder to mascara you can create perfect lashes.

6. Fast drying nails

After painting your nails, place them in a cold bowl of water to speed up the drying process.

7. Matte nail polish

Add a pinch of corn starch to your clear topcoat to get a matte finish.

8. Long live the mascara

When you think that your favorite mascara has seen its last days, think again! Add a few drops of saline to your mascara to bring it back to life.

9. Fix broken eye shadows / other powders

Fixing your broken powder is easy with this tip. Crush the remaining powder up, then add some rubbing alcohol. Finally, press the wet powder down and let it dry. Boom, good as new!

10. Fix oily hair

If you ever run out of dry shampoo just grab some baby powder. It is cheaper and it works just as well.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
