I have a couple of beauty secrets, and I can't wait to read some more from you girls!

1. Drop some visine on blemishes to reduce redness

2. Rubbing your hair with dryer sheets helps get rid of static

HTH!

My secret is really not much of a secret but I try to drink tons of water each day. When I do it keeps my skin pretty clear.

When I go tanning I use sunblock on my face to prevent wrinkles.

I use self tanning lotion on my face everyday before I put on my makeup

Shhhhhh....

Good one!!! I want to add to it, lol! Whether I go to the beach or the tanning salon I add sunblock just under my eyes to reduce dark circles!

Mine is simply that I do not sit in the sun and tan. At all. And I make sure that my moisturizer has SPF in it. My skin is very healthy because of this!

I do the visine trick too. I also put chapstick on my finger and rub into a small dry spot on my face. And, when I have chapped lips, I will use chapstick until it turns flaky and dry. Then, I use a toothbrush to brush my lips and it smooths them out. (Also makes them a little more pink and yummy looking).

Not sure this is a secret, but on the days I don't wash my hair I brush baby powder through it. My hair gets really greasy looking but its not good to wash every day so this helps me go a day without!

Kate Somerville - EradiKate Acne Treatment. Put it on pimples when you feel them coming out and it ususally prevents them. It has a strong sulfuric odor though, so I always use it before I go to bed.

That visine trick sounds like a good one, I can't wait to try it!!

I am not very beauty savvy, but I will share one trick that I learned backstage while doing community theatre....

Line the inside of your eyelids (the water line) with white eyeliner and the outside of your lids (above/undneath the lash line) with your regular liner color (black, brown). It will make your eye pop because the white makes them look bigger!

I also use this trick if I didn't get enough rest and I have sleepy eyes, it makes me look more awake. Also curling your eyelashes helps you look more awake also!!

I guess that's why someone else's tip is getting enough sleep. I need to work on that!

I have a lot of baby hairs that really stick out everytime I blow dry my hair. I use the clear mascara to comb them down. I also use the clear mascara to keep my eyebrows in place. It works.

Haa, I use FH's axe hair gel stuff for this, works great- but my face smells like a man!!!

gonna get me some clear mascara!!

I just tried sally hansen salon effects for the first time and LOVE them. They look like those minx manicures that Katy Perry and GAGA use, but way cheaper and easy to do at home.

They're a little loud for wedding day, but the polish lasts about 2 weeks w/o chipping, so they're very convenient!
