    1. *Scrub away* chapped lips and excess flakes with an inexpensive lip exfoliator made with sugar, vitamin e, shea butter, avocado, grape, and jojoba oils to nourish that pucker back to perfection.

    2. Remove dulling components (leftover shampoo, hairspray, etc.) that are getting in the way of an effortlessly shiny mane by using Neutrogena's anti-residue shampoo.

    3. Know every detail of your makeup palette — both before and after you apply it. There's a place for everything, and once you get the hang of it, you will look like an *artiste*.

    4. Drop a little bit of primer oil into your matte full-coverage concealer for a more dewy *glow*. Plus, now it's easier to blend and looks more like your natural complexion!

    5. Put your ~foot down~ on hefty spa bills and learn the process of a quality pedicure, yourself. All it takes is a little exfoliating, moisturizing, and of course, polish.

    6. Start from the inside out with Care/Of, a personalized vitamin regimen that'll cover all bases from shinier hair to healthier skin. Extra vitamin D? Yes, please. Fish oil? ABSOLUTELY.

    7. Learn a ~smooth~ approach to makeup with a pore-erasing primer. It'll blur out any unevenness and leave your skin nice and moisturized (but still feel lightweight all day).

    8. Pamper yourself for with a slew of face masks that are loaded with skin benefits. Each are packed with vitamins and collagen that'll leave you feeling extra-perky and your wallet still full.

    9. End your (probably expensive) quest for the perfect ready-made foundation shade and put matters into your *own hands* with a bottle of shade-adjusting drops.

    10. Skip the hairdresser's $$$ method of repairing damaged hair and turn to a keratin-infused shampoo and conditioner set.

    11. Gain some pearly whites without dropping too much green with an inexpensive yet effective charcoal powder.

    12. Wash away breakout-inducing grime from your brushes in no time with a silicone cleaning pad. It's fast, easy, and extremely helpful in the long run (au revoir icky gunk).

    13. Treat yourself and your tired tresses with an easy DIY hair mask. Tldr: TWO ingredients = countless hair tosses.

    14. Try out new beauty trends without blowing money on each and every one (I don't need to tell you it adds up!). Instead, subscribe to Birchbox and sample high-end, newly-released products every month for a whole lot less.

    15. Say farewell to puffy eyes (why don't I just s l e e p) with gold and snail hydrogel eye masks. Yes, they sound like they'd cost an arm and a leg, but they DON'T and will make you look like you actually know what hydrating and resting is.

    16. Wake every bit of your body up with a coffee and coconut oil scrub to tighten and refresh skin (it also just smells really, really good). Bathe, lather, admire, repeat.

    17. Conquer breakouts, fine lines, and dull skin (oh my!) with a seriously-popular vitamin C serum that's also packed with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to improve clarity and brighten skin.

    18. Remove your makeup and improve your skincare at the same time with moisturizing cleansing facial wipes. Not only are they 98% all-natural, but they restore dry, damaged skin thanks to hydrating coconut oil.

    19. Avoid using your fingers while applying makeup (hello, pimple-causing bacteria) with an incredibly-soft makeup brush set. Not only will they feel like heaven on your face, but will create a practically airbrushed effect.

    20. Pay attention to your products' expiration dates! Sometimes you use them for way too long, but even worse you throw them out before you need too! No more wasting those precious dollars.

    21. Discover entirely new uses for your groceries by making all-natural face masks. Avocados with oatmeal would taste weird together, but actually make a great team for moisturizing dry skin!

    22. Perfect your cat eye and avoid eyeshadow fallout with minimal effort thanks to adhesive shadow shields. Raccoon eyes? I don't know her.

    23. Create a nightly regimen that feels as lavish as it is effective with a set of cult-favorite Pixi skin care products. Yes, I DID wake up like this, because my evening routine does it all.

    24. Master the art of contouring (yes, you can) with a guided contour and highlighting kit. It'll take you by the hand and give you step-by-step instructions on how to bring out those cheekbones.

    25. Hydrate on the go with a soothing face mist that'll (lightly) shower you with rose water and aloe so you feel fresh and rejuvenated even on the grossest days.

    26. Confront your pesky blackheads with a set of oil-absorbing nose strips that'll tell pores to get their act together once and for all. All you need to do is stick 'em on and go to sleep.

    27. Glow up your routine (for cheap!) with nothing more than a little gentle exfoliating by using a brightening facial scrub.
