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.

Wiggle Your Mascara Brush
If you give your mascara wand a good wiggle at the base of your lashes, you'll get a better payout. It'll help your lashes look thicker -- some even say it makes them lush enough that you can skip your eyeliner altogether! And as long as you're taking a little extra care with your mascara, make sure you're coating both sides of your lashes for even more volume.
