Which means, there is always that last minute adrenalin inducing rush to look smashing I’ve got some damage control tips to take you from panicky to pretty without leaving the house or busting your budget? Enjoy!

Last minute beauty fixes

PROBLEM: Can’t find your eye shadow.

FIX IT: Grab some food coloring from the freezer.
Mix it with a little baby powder till you get the color you want.

PROBLEM: Chapped lips.

FIX IT:  Rub petroleum jelly on your lips.
Scrub gently with an old toothbrush or towel.
Rub on a tiny amount of jelly again and slide on the lipstick!

FIX IT:    Pour very warm water into a bowl.
Add a few drops of olive oil.
Add a bit of shower gel.
Soak your feet for five minutes.
Scrub soles with a pumice stone and moisturize.

PROBLEM: Drab nail color.

FIX IT:       Mix your old nail lacquer to get your very own signature hue
If it’s gooey, just add some clear polish.

FIX IT: No need to force it off, just buff the nails and paint over them with a dark shade of nail polish.

I hope these bail you out of sticky situations so you can have a swell time.
