5 Cool New Ways to Use the Beauty Stuff You’ve Already Got

If you’ve got any of the following, please raise your hand: flatiron, lip gloss, hair elastic, face mask, blow-dryer. OK, so that’s pretty much everybody (you can put your hands down now!). Here’s how to put more pennies in that piggy bank instead of being tempted to buy another product: Make the stuff you already have pull double-duty!

Here are three of our favorites tricks for repurposing a product:

1. If you’ve got…lip gloss:

Pretty your pout and use it to prime your lids to make eyeshadow last longer.

2. If you’ve got a…hair elastic:

Make a super-stylish pony, or keep your makeup bag organized—group your glosses, pencils or brushes together. No more rummaging around in the black hole (otherwise known as your purse).

3. If you’ve got a…flatiron:

You usually straighten with it, but make curls by clamping a skinny flatiron around a small section of hair, rotate once and glide down to ends. Continue in small sections all over until you’ve got a head of pretty, beachy waves!
