We all keep so many beauty products in our makeup boxes or in the bathroom. Some of those products can be used for only one specific use. But, many others, as listed below have multiple purposes. Having them in your home can make your life easier as well as cheaper. One beauty product with multiple uses is always a win-win situation.
Here is a list of some of the most common beauty products with multiple uses:
Lip Balm
Most of us know that lip balm is used for keeping your lips soft and smooth. What we do not know is that lip balm can be as well used to soothe cracked cuticles, prevent blisters, minimize the mess when dyeing your hair, or even erase mascara smudges. You will be surprised to discover all these alternative uses of lip balm as well as other beauty products that will make your life easier.
Hairspray
Hairspray is one of those beauty products that have multiple uses. There are plenty of valuable things you can do with it, besides fixing your flyaways or keeping your waves strong. One of them is to spritz your bobby pins before you put them in your hair. This way you will keep them in place throughout the day. Another one is to spray your tights before you put them on. That will prevent runs at your tights. You can also use your hairspray to make your nail polish dry faster. All you need to do is to spray your fresh-painted fingernails and voila they will dry faster than ever.
Vaseline
Vaseline is one of those beauty products that is a real multitasker. You can use it in so many different ways, which makes it one of the must-have products in your bathroom. Use it to keep lipstick off your teeth. Looking for some super-effective way to define and add volume to your eyelashes? Vaseline is the solution! You can also use it to relieve razor burns. Or, to make your hair more glowy by masking the split ends. Keep it close to you any time you need to give your matte lipstick a glossy finish.
Toothbrush
The toothbrush is not one of those typical beauty products because its most common use is more related to oral health than beauty. But, we considered it wise to mention it here because of its bathroom storage place. And, its multipurpose ability. Besides washing your teeth and keeping a healthy oral routine, you can use a toothbrush in many other ways. Keep a few inexpensive toothbrushes in your bathroom to gently exfoliate your lips. Or, use them to separate and fan your lashes. You can also use a toothbrush to re-dye your hair roots.
BB cream
BB creams are one of the most popular face beauty products. However, it is one of those products that you can use in multiple ways, despite keeping your face skin well looking. One of its alternative uses is to apply a bit of BB cream to your legs when wearing skirts and dresses. That will help you highlight your leg’s definition, making them look longer and shimmering. You can achieve the same effect as previously mentioned if you apply BB cream around your collarbone when you are wearing tops with lower necklines.
Mascara
We all know that mascara is used to give your eyelashes more volume. But, if you are tricky enough you can transform your mascara into sn eyeliner as well. All you need to do is to place your mascara wand at the base of your lashes. Now, instead of sweeping up, try to move the wand from side to side. This will create an artfully smudged eyeliner effect without even using your eyeliner. One product, several uses! Win-win!

Coconut oil is best used as a beauty product for hair care. It is the basic ingredient for most hair masks. But, it can also be used as a moisturizer which can help nourish your eyelashes. All you need to do is to use a clean mascara wand and apply a bit of coconut oil to the lashes. That will keep your lashes moisturized and strong. Coconut oil also helps promote lash growth as well.
Concealer
Jas it happened to you to run our foundation? It has happened to most of us. Sometimes we simply forget to misplace it, and then suddenly when we need to use it, we find out that we are run out of it. Do not worry at all if you get into such a situation. You can use other beauty products for the same use as foundation. Concealer is one of them. All you need to do is to apply a bit of concealer to the back of your hand and then mix it with a bit of moisturizer. Now, take the face brush or a face sponge and apply the mixture to your face skin, Voila!
