Steps
步骤
Step 1 Save on mascara
1.节约睫毛膏
Buy expensive mascara just once; after it runs out, wash and save the brush. The main difference between mascaras is the wand, not the makeup. Apply new, cheaper mascara with the brush that comes with it, then use your old one to fluff and separate your lashes.
只购买一次昂贵的睫毛膏就可以了,用完之后,清洗并保留睫毛刷 。不同睫毛膏之间的差别在于魔术棒,而不是里面的睫毛膏 。使用新的,更加便宜的睫毛膏和配套的刷子,然后使用之前保存的刷子来刷一遍,让睫毛看上去更加纤长丰盈 。
Tip A dried-out mascara wand also makes a great eyebrow brush.
小贴士:干燥的魔术棒也可以用来刷眉毛 。
Step 2 Make conditioner do double duty
2.护发素也有双重功效
Replace your shaving cream with dollar-store hair conditioner; it works every bit as well. Or use a brand made for men;they're usually less expensive. Get an unscented one if you don't want a "manly" fragrance.
用美元商店里购买的护发素来代替修面霜,效果也是一样的 。或者更加便宜的男士品牌 。如果你不想留下“男人的”味道,选择无香型 。
Step 3 Buy petroleum jelly
3.购买凡士林油
Buy a big jar of generic petroleum jelly. It can serve as clear lip gloss, lip balm, makeup remover, under-eye moisturizer,and foot and hand cream.
购买一大罐普通的凡士林,可以用作润唇膏,卸妆油,眼霜,手脚润肤霜 。
Tip If you have just a smidgen of lipstick left in the tube, mix it with petroleum jelly and use as lip gloss.
小贴士:如果你还有少量口红,可以和凡士林混合起来,用作润唇膏 。
Step 4 Use olive oil
4.使用橄榄油
Use olive oil as a multitasker: To condition hair, rub one tablespoon on scalp, wrap in a warm towel, and let it sit for 20 minutes before shampooing out. For silky skin, pour some into your bath water. To turn it into an exfoliant, just add some sugar.
橄榄油有许多作用:用来护理头发,将一汤匙橄榄油抹在头皮上,用毛巾裹住,20分钟过后清洗 。也可用于光滑肌肤,将少量橄榄油加入沐浴用的温水中就可以了 。如果想要用于去角质,加一点糖就可以了 。
Step 5 Plump your lips for pennies
5.丰盈嘴唇
Plump your lips for pennies by mixing a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or cinnamon with a dab of petroleum jelly and applying to lips. It will irritate them just enough to temporarily swell them.
用一点辣椒或肉桂,加上少许凡士林,抹在嘴唇上 。可以刺激嘴唇瞬间饱满起来 。
Step 6 Waste not, want not
6.不要浪费
Use up every bit of your cosmetics: Get the last smidgen of lipstick out of the tube with a lip brush. Revitalize a dried-out mascara tube with a few drops of hot water. Use a cotton swab to get into the crevices of little pots of eye cream or lip balm.
用光最后一点化妆品:用刷子取出最后一点唇膏 。用几滴热水来修复干燥的睫毛刷 。使用面签深入眼霜或唇膏管中沾取最后一点 。
Step 7 Splurge!
7.挥霍!
Splurge on one or two extravagances. Woman cannot live on cheap cosmetics alone!
可以花多一点的钱购买一两件奢侈品 。女人不能只依靠廉价化妆品生存!
Women spend an average of $471 per year on personal care, while men spend about $193.
