I envy those who can afford expensive beauty products and weekly trips to the spa.
Unfortunately, that’s not always the case for many of us that live on a budget. So it’s completely understandable when people take matters into their own hands and try their luck at beauty DIYs.

I know they can get pretty expensive but somehow I don’t think using a marshmallow to do your makeup really does the trick. Eat it!
8. And if you’re jumping on the next bandwagon of ridiculous beauty regimens this one is right up your alley.
