Well, if you think that those have one single use, then you’re in for a pleasant surprise because all of your cosmetic products are excellent multitaskers that can help you with things you never expected.
For example, did you know that lipstick is a better blush for your cheeks than an actual blush, that hand cream can do a great job as a shaving cream alternative, or that lip balm can tame flyaways and smooth your frizzy hair ends when you have no hair gel or hairspray on you?
This list is here to show you the alternative uses of your beauty products that you probably never considered before but might actually love to try.
#1 – Lip balm/hand cream for stray hair

When you have a bad hair-day but have absolutely no hair product on you like hairspray to tame the hair strands sticking out in all directions, what do you do? Don’t say that you just leave it like that!
It’s alright because now you have lip balm and hand cream as your lifesavers.
Here is what to do:
Apply a small amount of lip balm to your fingertips and smooth your ends down. If you’re using hand cream, rub it between your hands and gently smooth stubborn split ends.
If you haven’t tried these tricks before then today is totally your lucky day!
#2 – Lipstick for cheeks

No blush? Not even a little bit?! Take out your pink or red lipsticks, apply it to your fingertips and gently tap your cheeks. Or, apply it directly to your cheeks and blend with a stiff brush to get the lush rosy cheeks you want.
Opt for matte lipsticks like Coral lipstick rather than glossy lipsticks that would make your face look oily or even get smudged and make you look like a clown!
Also, don’t overuse lipstick on your cheeks or you might turn into an actual clown!
#3 – Mascara for eyebrows
