Remove Glitter Nail Polish, Fast
As glamorous (and useful) as glitter nail polish is, it's very difficult to remove. To make the process quicker and easier, apply a nail polish remover-soaked cotton ball to each fingernail, holding it in place by wrapping it with foil. Let it sit for 10 minutes, remove the foil, et voila -- glitter-free nails.

Spoolies Are EVERYTHING
Whether you take them from your local Sephora, or save old mascara wands, a clean spoolie can do pretty much anything. You can use them to separate clumpy mascara, brush out harsh eyebrow lines for a softer look. Heck, you can even spray one with hairspray and use it for smoothing flyaways.

Blot Your Makeup with a Toilet Seat Cover
Sometimes, you're caught without pressed powder or blotting paper -- so, what's a girl to do? Well, a toilet seat cover will work in a pinch. It's actually pretty ideal for helping to keep your face shine-free, and the smooth texture ensures that it won't smudge your makeup.

Repack Your Broken Blush
There's no greater tragedy than knocking your blush compact off the edge of your bathroom counter, and watching it shatter into a million pieces -- but it doesn't have to be the end. Instead, use this genius beauty hack to repair it. Just save the broken fragments, and mix in a bit of rubbing alcohol. The blush should form something of a paste as you mix it, at which point you can press it into the compact. Then, once it's dry, it's (almost) as good as new!

Don't Towel Dry Hair
Look, it's tempting to give your hair a good scrub with a towel when you step out of the shower, but it can actually aggravate frizziness -- especially if you're letting it air dry. Instead, try gently patting it dry or scrunching it with an old T-shirt or microfiber towel, which will help keep your strands smoother.
