Ninja beauty weapons

(They’re ninjas because they’re things you’ve had all along, but they’re hiding! Har har har… too early in the morning for bad puns? Yah. Sorry, I promise I’m done.)

(Just kidding no I’m not!)

So… here are some of your secret beauty weapons, ready and waiting at your disposal!

Sleep. 

I thought “beauty sleep” was some huge myth — until I pretty much stopped getting it. Now, my sleep schedule’s never been the greatest, but these last few months have been particularly brutal. So, take it from me: when you’re getting one or two sleepless nights a week, you get dark circles. Bags. Breakouts.

Everything bad that could happen, does happen. It’s okay at first, but once you reach that tipping point… yikes. 
So stop partying; stop worrying yourself awake at night; stop whatever it is that could keep you away from a good night’s rest! They’re incredibly important for keepin’ ya pretty. And happy, which is even more important ;)

Umbrellas.
Think about it for a second. Not only can you use your umbrella to attack shifty passerbys, it keeps your hair and makeup in decent form — no matter what your hairstyle is. Straight, wavy, curled, it doesn’t matter. Unless you were born with model!hair (in which case, I hate you) and want to walk around in waterproof makeup 24/7, an umbrella is always a good idea when you’ll be walking around outside and it’s drizzling.

Mascara spoolies.
Aka mascara wands, etc. The point is, these do a lot — you can use them to apply mascara or comb through mascara if they’re clean, taking out clumps and redirecting your lashes. They’re also perfect for combing through your brows, whether you’re setting them in the morning or trimming them at night, and a mascara spoolie whisked through a gel or cream product can create some seriously cool makeup effects.

VASELINE!
Y’all know I’m crazy about the stuff. It’s great for doing pretty much anything in a pinch: hilighting cheekbones, adding gloss to your lips or lids, moisturizing pretty much anything, sheering out lip products and giving them some shine, making perfume last longer, protecting your hairline for at-home hair colouring, soothing chapped skin, adding gloss and texture to short hairstyles, giving you photo-ready legs and arms…

Enough said. Unscented petroleum jelly is the bomb dot com. (I can’t believe I just typed that. But at the same time: how have I not typed it before?!)

Water.
I kid you not; water is good for so much more than drinking.
No, seriously. It does even more than my beloved Vaseline!
A spritz of water helps freshen up any caking base products, intensifies colour as you put it on (foiling), tames and hits “refresh” on unruly hair… heck, you can even use it to re-moisten (some) products that are drying up! And, of course, without water, we wouldn’t be able to get clean half as well, and that just leads to a whole slew of other issues.
Water’s totally underrated, and that’s the truth. Oh, and being dehydrated? Never a good idea. Just one more thing that good ‘ol H20 is good for!
Do you have any “secret beauty weapons” that a bunch of serve functions they totally weren’t meant for? Let us know in the comments — I’m dying to hear them!
