Beauty Tip of The Day & A Giveaway

Cucumber EyesImage by melodramababs via Flickr

I am sure many of you have noticed the Beauty Tip of the Day widget here on Ramblings. I've really enjoyed having the widget on the site, as I feel it has a lot of good tips to offer. My favorite so far has been No Excuses:

Getting home late from the party and too tired for your normal makeup removal routine? Stash Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelette in your bedside table for fast and easy makeup removal…you don’t even need water. They have an exclusive cleansing system, with oil- and dirt-trapping fibers, that works like a magnet to remove up to 40 percent more make-up than other leading towelettes to keep you looking your best. One less regret in the morning.

I am very bad about going to bed with my make up on. Now my Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes are on my night stand, so I always have a way to scrub my face. I also keep a package in my person for cleaning my face after I finish working out a Curves. My face is looking great!

So, check out this cool widget for great tips on skin, nail, hair care and more. I am always learning something. I know lots of moms who don't spend much time taking care of themselves, but these easy tips make fussing over yourself a bit easy as can be. I am all about fast and easy when it comes to beauty, I just don't have time to fuss. Thanks to these tips, I can look good in a flash!

What are some of your favorite beauty tips? I have a beauty product assortment from Unilever to give to one lucky winner. All you have to do is leave me a comment telling me your favorite beauty tip. That's all there is to it! Deadline to enter is Friday 11/13/09 at 11:59pm CST. Be sure you leave a way for me to contact you if you win.

Good luck!

I want to win this, my favorite beauty tip of all time is you are never to young to start moisturizing.

Michele November 9, 2009 9:16 PM

Thank you for the giveaway. I like the tip where you can moisturize your lashes with vaseline.

Ginny November 9, 2009 10:16 PM

I love the tip to leave q-tips out for guests during the holidays. What a great idea so woman can touch up make-up, I love it!

Janette November 9, 2009 10:20 PM

I like to make a scrub out of sugar, olive oil, and aloe. It's great for the face and body, feet especially.

GroverFamily November 9, 2009 11:17 PM

Tami November 10, 2009 12:56 AM

my fav beauty tip is-put conditioner in a spray bottle and use as a detangler. no need to buy 2 products.

sweepmom November 10, 2009 5:36 AM

When applying mascara, start with bottom lashes first to prevent smudging.

buzzd November 10, 2009 6:44 AM

Always use moisturizer with spf15 to keep your skin looking young.

vboackle November 10, 2009 6:59 AM

i love the tip about never being too young to moisturize,i will pass this on to my 11 year old grandaughter.

cdziuba November 10, 2009 7:30 AM

cdziuba@aol.com I like to slather my hands with good body lotion, and then slip my hands into cotton gloves and leave them on as long as possible for deep hydration.

Lower Mitten Kitten November 10, 2009 8:12 AM

My favorite beauty tip is to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night and drink plenty of water. Doing both, of course is easier said than done.

April,  November 10, 2009 10:10 AM

I like the tip to not stay in the shower any longer then 10 minutes so as to not dry out your skin.

teenytig@sbcglobal.net

Linda,  November 10, 2009 11:40 AM

I never use soap to cleanse my face. I've only found a foaming cleanser with feverfew in it that cleanses and doesn't irritate my rosacea.

Joy November 10, 2009 12:00 PM

I have used proactiv for years now. My looks is always soft and pimple free. I love the stuff. Thanks. magic9505@embarqmail.com

Lynette November 10, 2009 12:52 PM

Lemon water in the fridge for a mid day spritzer. Just a light spray on my face to cool off and feel fresh again.

mogrill November 10, 2009 1:06 PM

I like to use Avocado and Sugar as a sugar scrub for my face...it leaves you so soft. Thanks for the chance.

That baking soda can be used for acne. Thanks for the contest!

clynsg November 11, 2009 7:52 AM

I like the idea of mixing the ends of your lipsticks with vaseline to make a lip gloss.

clc408 November 11, 2009 8:15 AM

I've noticed a big improvement in my skin when I moisturize right after my shower.

kdkdkd November 11, 2009 9:43 AM

use a q-tip to soften the line of your eyeliner for a more nautral look

1stopmom November 11, 2009 12:25 PM

Making a beauty emergency kit is my favorite tip. I am going to make up one later on today.

onestopmom@hotmail.com

Aileen November 11, 2009 4:10 PM

My favorite beauty tip is to make sure you use a humidifier in the house. When your skin and mucus membranes feel really dry it may be there is not enough moisture in the air.

bison61 November 11, 2009 4:35 PM

At night I put Vaseline on my dry feet and a sock & in the morning I have softer feet!

Beck78 November 11, 2009 5:00 PM

My beauty tricks have all been learned from my mother - always wash your makeup off before bed (I cheat and keep makeup remover cloths handy), moisterize your hands, face, elbows, and feet, and always brush your teeth. And DO NOT go to bed with a mask on (dad hated that)!

Kiara,  November 11, 2009 5:31 PM

My tip is to lightly use Vaseline on your lips to keep them from getting chapped.
austma7@aol.com

fluggy November 11, 2009 7:23 PM

Wash your face in cool not hot water to help keep wrinkles away

:) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)

bekki1820cb November 11, 2009 8:52 PM

Vaseline for my lips! I also used when my son has an occasional bought of diaper rash. Thanks for the chance! bekki1820cb@gmail.com

randio November 11, 2009 9:53 PM

Vaseline is the bargain a woman can have. You can take eye makeup off with it, moisturize, tame wild eyebrows, soothe chapped lips you name it, it does it!

heaventrees November 12, 2009 2:52 AM

My favorite tip other than nearing sleeping in makeup, is to apply warm honey to your face, let it stay on about half an hour and rinse off. It leaves your face moist, soft and smooth.

Carol EL November 12, 2009 4:32 AM

I use Vaseline Petroleum Jelly at night as a moisturizer. jelly15301@gmail.com

Jean November 12, 2009 5:50 AM

My favorite is to slather my feet with lotion, put socks on,and go to bed

Erika*Coffee November 12, 2009 10:13 AM

Make sure that you are doing the same beauty routine to your neck and chest that you are to your face...washing, moisturizing, powder, etc.

wendy November 12, 2009 11:46 AM

My favorite beauty tip is to use q-tips as makeup applicators when the original ones become too old or too dirty.

Charity November 12, 2009 11:49 AM

I like to only shampoo my hair at the top and then condition the bottom. I have thin hair and it helps to not weigh the hair down. Please enter me in your giveaway. I would love to win this!! Thanks!!

Drink lots of water, take vitamin E, and use a nightly moisturizer.

Melodic Mom November 12, 2009 12:38 PM

My tip is to use a damp eyeshadow applicator on black eyeshadow to create a softer eyeliner look

Hope November 12, 2009 1:50 PM

I try to take shorter showers, and also use cooler water when showering.
onepilgrim86(at)yahoo.com

Nancy November 12, 2009 2:26 PM

One of my tips for dealing with dry, cracked feet is before going to bed, slather Vaseline on them and put socks on. You will be amazed how much better they will be in the morning.

Ruby November 12, 2009 4:44 PM

My favorite tip is applying moisturizer as soon as I get out of the shower.

sharonjo November 12, 2009 5:43 PM

To look younger don't use liquid eyeliner. You need to use a pencil eyeliner 1 shade lighter than your mascara. Thanks! senekers@comcast.net

elizabeth p,  November 12, 2009 6:39 PM

I believe in the theory of 8s. 8 glasses each 8 ounces plus 8 hours of sleep equal better skin! I am queenesperfect at yahoo.com

electricisland,  November 12, 2009 7:25 PM

tip, moisturize before applying makeup.

Kelly November 12, 2009 7:51 PM

My favorite beauty tip is to protect your hair from heat! Once I started using a heat-protecting spray before drying my hair, I noticed my hair is now always super soft, easy to style, and breaks a lot less. :)

Julie November 12, 2009 8:44 PM

To keep my hands smooth-at night I put Vaseline on my hands/cover with socks

aunteegem@yahoo.com

Brooke November 12, 2009 9:44 PM

With the cold weather here already and using the heater I love this tip... To keep skin soft and healthly use a humidifer to lock in moisture at night.

Jaime November 12, 2009 10:50 PM

fave tip is getting your hair to look fuller by parting it in a new place
copperllama at yahoo dot com

Erica C. November 13, 2009 12:29 AM

I am pretty basic. I wash my face morning and night, and always use an oil-free moisturizer afterwards. I've had great skin since.

kakihara November 13, 2009 12:33 AM

This sounds harsh but believe me it works magic--if you had a late night and have a big day and look tired--take a big bowel put in water and some ice cubes --hold your face in the water for as long as you can--it works wonders!!!

Anonymous,  November 13, 2009 2:25 AM

I learned that keeping my eye cream in the fridge really helps with those puffy bags!

Thanks for the giveaway,

amyd November 13, 2009 6:30 AM

use a wide toothed comb after shower to get rid of knots!

Lower Mitten Kitten November 13, 2009 9:46 AM

The purpose of this comment is to leave you an email for my earlier comment...in case I win. Thanks.

My favorite tip is to get plenty of sleep to enhance your beauty.

charity/ccboobooy November 13, 2009 11:49 AM

My tip: Use cream eyeshadow as a blush replacement. It works very well. Thanks

Pamela S November 13, 2009 12:38 PM

My favorite tip from their widget has been to mix the last of lipstick with a bit of vaseline to make your own lip gloss rather that just throwing the lipstick away. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

Hotsnotty2 November 13, 2009 12:47 PM

I learned that you can moisturize your lashes with vaseline! Thanks!

Happi Shopr November 13, 2009 12:50 PM

mix equal parts olive oil and granulated sugar for an inexpensive facial scrub.

trinitygsd at yahoo dot com

marthajane November 13, 2009 1:26 PM

I slather my feet with Vaseline and put thick white socks on before bed. I wake up in the morning with noticeably softer feet when I do this!

Pamela November 13, 2009 2:57 PM

My beauty tip/mantra:
drink plenty of water, exfoliate, moisturizer must have broad spectrum SPF protection.

annalene November 13, 2009 3:12 PM

I have oily skin so moisturizer isn't always my friend. I use Q tips to apply toner or moisturizer to any areas that are dry or need exfoliation. Helps to concentrate the product in problem areas.

Reeva November 13, 2009 5:46 PM

moisturize right when u come out of the shower to lock in and maximize the moisture

Sher November 13, 2009 6:29 PM

My favorite beauty tip and something I do daily, is to keep a bottle of lotion in the shower to moisturize while your skin is still wet..it helps to hold in the moisture!!

Tammy November 13, 2009 7:02 PM

If you run out of shaving cream you can use hair conditioner instead!

Jinxy and Me November 13, 2009 8:15 PM

My favorite beauty tip is to stay out of the sun and if you are in the sunscreen use a high SPF!

FDP 4 Life November 13, 2009 8:17 PM

wash your face in the morning and in the evening, when you brush your teeth, and drink water

kngmckellar November 13, 2009 9:22 PM

My fave tip is to put vaseline on your feet and put socks on. It really helps.

Atreau November 13, 2009 10:37 PM

To make my skin glow, I apply honey, remove with warm milk then wash as usual.

Nancy S. November 13, 2009 11:48 PM

I use a moisturizing spritz as soon as I get out of the shower. It's quicker than lotion and it absorbs immediately.
