Ashley @ Night's Top 5

Hello All

Recently Cosmo (aka the Holy Grail of Womanhood) has come up with a list of legendary beauty tips that actually work. These tips are the ones your mom or grandma may have suggested, but you just never believed they would work. Well, Cosmo has tested these tricks and made a list of 30 tricks that actually work.

I, being the fashionista/diva that I am, have personally tried some of these home remedies and have composed a list of my Top 5 FAVORITE Beauty Tips - Fact NOT Fiction.

5) Perfume your brush: OK ladies, you've got to admit our hair usually smells pretty awesome. Just our shampoo alone smells great... but we tend to spray ourselves with perfume after our luxurious bubble baths. Why not spread the love... to your hair!? If you spray your perfume on your brush and run it through your luscious locks, your hair will smell AMAZING all day long! Who doesn't want that?

4) Use green tea for your splotches: Ever get puffy spots around your eyes/face? If you take a green tea bag and steep it for a bit, let it cool, and press it on your face- it can work miracles! The antioxidants in it actually make the puffiness disappear!

3) Shave your legs with your conditioner: We've all been there - run out of soap/shaving cream and need an instant fix. Well the conditioner not only gives you the lather you need, but the soft silky legs you desire! Next time you're headed out on a big date, give it a whirl ;)

2) An Egg-Whites Mask: If you're looking to give your face a little UMPH, go into your fridge and break open an egg or two. Separate the yolk and apply the whites to your face. Yes, it's a bit gross... but if you leave it on for 5 minutes and then rinse, your face's moisture will be restored!

and my #1 Fact NOT Fiction Beauty Tip is...

1) Toothpaste kills the zits: I don't know how many times I've heard this one, but IT ACTUALLY WORKS!! If you've ever had your confidence ruined because of an unexpected visitor showing up on your face, LISTEN UP!! When the pimple appears, put a dab of toothpaste on it. Let it sit for 15 min to absorb the oils... and BAM!! (ok it's never instantaneous, but it's a lot faster and less painful than other methods). So give it a whirl... I swear by it!!
