For hair that has the kind of static you've only seen on Bill Nye
Does it work? My hair is prone to going haywire, and I can't load it up with smoothing products because they weigh down my fine hair. A couple of swipes of this over my head, and my crazy-hair (brought on by pulling a staticky dress on over my head) was gone. Quick, simple and it works.

For midday shiny-face syndrome
Does it work? I feel like a lot of dermatologists are shuddering at the prospect of someone putting Purell on their face. Do I recommend it? Not necessarily (I'll probably wake up tomorrow with flaky skin). But, it worked. In a pinch -- and I mean an absolute pinch where the horror of meeting someone with a greasy face far outweighs your revulsion at putting hand sanitizer on your face -- then yes, by all means go for it. It's a quick fix you probably have sitting in your purse right now. Still, you're probably better off grabbing a Starbucks napkin or toilet seat cover, which work just as well and won't dry out your skin.

For high-heel-ravaged feet
Does it work? Shoes rubbing painfully against your feet can quickly turn a fun night into one where you're hobbling down the street, shoes in hand (not a good look). Well, great news: Applying deodorant to your feet where you think your shoes might rub before you head out for the night will prevent this sad scenario. Editorial assistant Hayley says it last for about four hours. Just make sure you don't put it all over your feet, otherwise you may have a slippery time walking.

We pored over hundreds of so-called "life-changing" beauty tips and makeup tricks to find the most bizarre ones -- and then, of course, we had to test them to see which ones actually worked.
