Many times we misuse items that we use on a daily basis. Many things have an easier way that we can use it. Post an interesting use for something or how it’s meant to be used. I’ll start:

Cupcakes. You have a big brown cupcake with a beautiful white cream swirl. You don’t really want to start on top, eat the whole cream and then eat the cupcake. Sooo you break off the bottom of the cupcake and put it on top of the cream and you have a yummy sandwich. In every bite you have cake and cream. Mmmm

Use lipstick as cream blush, or blushes as eye shadows

I never understood the second part. Who wants pink eyelids unless you’re trying to look as if you’re crying or have an eye infection? Good way to put off overly amorous coworkers, maybe.

Either stipple lightly on your skin and blend with your fingers or a sponge, or rub your finger on the stick, dab your face and blend with fingers or a sponge. I don’t like this method as you tend to drag on your skin, but then I don’t care for stick makeup, period. Still, in a pinch...this lasts longer than pinching.

It really depends on the shade of blush. Certain shades can make blue eyes pop.
However, blush isn't guaranteed eye safe.

Only creamy satin or gloss lipsticks work. You just blend a tiny amount out. It's usually better just to get a blush though, because there are plenty of good cheap brands.

I use a couple of dots of my Maybelline 24 hour lip gloss for blush on Friday. If it comes out too dark I put a little cover up on top (sure to wear off) & don't wake up so pale.

When drinking from a can turn the part that opens the can around and stick your straw through it, it will hold your straw in place rather than it rising up from the bubbles.

Step on plastic cups before you sweep them so they don't roll away.

I heard that using foundation under lipstick will make it last longer

So.. Life hacks..

Use bread tags or washi tape to mark what the plugs are connected to on the other end

A cupcake paper will catch ice pop drips before it makes a sticky mess on hands

A slice of bread in your brown sugar will keep it clump free and soft

Use a mesh bag so sucks don't get lost in the laundry, or just buy the same style in bulk

Also, not all life hacks will work for you or even make sense. Don't sweat it. Take what works and leave the rest

Bronzer is a perfect eyeshadow shade.
Highlighter is great on the lids.
But blush?!!? Really?!!?!

if you cut down cereal boxes on a slant, you can use it as a paper file/magazine box.

When I grew up; shoeboxes were perfectly fine to use instead containers in drawers to hold stuff like socks.

just heard to put Terry rubbers over opening of oil bottle to catch the drips

my mom used vinegar or salt in wash machine to avoid colors to run

When I was growing up we put clear nail polish onto a run on a tights to prevent it from running further

Maybe she's talking about a peachy beige toned and not a very pink blush?
