On the Internet, there are a lot of ways to become even more beautiful and make your daily work of becoming a princess easier. However, not all of them work.

We are in website surprised at some strange beauty life hacks, but we admit: they can really be useful.

Beer for hair health

  • To do this, dilute the drink with water in a 1: 1 ratio and rinse your hair with the resulting composition after washing. By the way, blondes are better off choosing light beer to avoid discoloration.
  • Also on the basis of beer can be prepared hair masks.

Baby powder for the effect of false eyelashes

  • Paint over the lashes with mascara in one layer.
  • Arm yourself with a cotton swab and apply baby powder to your lashes.
  • Then re-cover your lashes with mascara. Voila! A simple and inexpensive option to achieve a false eyelash effect.

Concealer for a new lip contour

It doesn't matter if you naturally got a fuzzy lip contour or you think your lips are too tight for dark lipsticks... Here concealer will help out.

  • Outline the lip contour with concealer, as if "erasing" the natural line, and blend the product.
  • When it is dry, use a bright pencil to draw a new outline, slightly going beyond the natural. Try not to overdo it.

Activated carbon for whitening teeth

  • Put an activated charcoal tablet in a glass, add 5 drops of water. Knead so that there are no lumps left.
  • Apply the mixture to your toothbrush and use it to brush your teeth to whiten them.
  • This procedure should be carried out no more than 2 times a month: frequent brushing can increase the sensitivity of the teeth!

Red lipstick to urgently hide under eye circles

To quickly hide very dark circles under the eyes, when one concealer fails, beauty bloggers advise this technique:

  • Careful not to injure delicate skin, apply red lipstick to the "arches" under the eyes. Shadingwithout bringing to eyelashes.
  • We apply concealer in two layers, each of which we shade, and let the product dry. Powder.

Thread for perfect shooters

Nose contour fork

To visually change the shape of the nose and make it more sophisticated, modern girls use contouring, highlighting the bridge of the nose along its entire length with a light shade, and the wings with a dark one.

  • Use a fork to keep the lines straight and symmetrical.

Regular pencils as eyeliner

If you really want bright summer arrows, but you don't have a cosmetic pencil at hand, you can use a clerical pencil.

  • Place pencils for drawing in a glass of hot water for a while.
  • Then take out and bring them in your eyes.

Lip balm instead of highlighter

Often girls are in no hurry to buy a highlighter, but use other cosmetics instead. Quite justified: for example, shimmery shadows easily cope with this task. Another "inhabitant" of the cosmetic bag - lip balm - also proved to be suitable for this. The only negative is its stickiness.

Dishwashing sponges for perfect curls

Typically, a foam sponge is used in the kitchen for washing dishes.

However, you can find many other uses for it in everyday life.

The sponge will help both during the move and during repairs.

The main thing is to know how to use it optimally.

1. Transportation of fragile items

To prevent fragile items made of glass, crystal and ceramics from breaking during transportation, put a few foam sponges between them.

2. Flower care

Place a foam sponge on the bottom of the flower pot and cover with earth. This trick will create optimal conditions for growing plants. If you overdo it with watering, the sponge will absorb the excess moisture and retain it until the ground dries up.

3. Removing varnish

Use an empty pill bottle and chunks of foam sponge to create a unique nail polish remover. Pieces of sponge should be tightly packed in a bottle along the walls, pour a little acetone and lower your finger for a couple of minutes.

4. Toy furniture

Toy furniture, which is easy to make from pieces of foam rubber sponges, is a great idea for joint creativity of parents and children.

5. Fragrant secret

Apply your favorite perfume or a couple of drops of essential oil to a piece of sponge and place it in the corner of your closet or dresser. Things will quickly become saturated with aroma and you will always be fragrant.

6. Knee pads

With the help of an elastic band and two sponges, you can build simple knee pads that will come in handy when cleaning the house or garden.

7. Comfortable handle

Wrap the handle of a broom, mop or shovel with a sponge so that no calluses will form on your hands after prolonged use of the tool.

8. Slots

Autumn is the time when you need to take care of the warmth of your home. Dishwashing sponges will help to get rid of drafts, with which you can plug the cracks in the frames of wooden windows.

9. Cleaning dishes with a narrow neck

Wrap the bamboo stick with a foam sponge, secure with a rubber band, and use the resulting bottle and can cleaner to clean narrow-necked bottles and jars.

10. Curlers

In fact, kitchen sponges are the same curlers, only of a different shape. Therefore, if you want to curl your hair, and there is nothing suitable at hand, use it.

11. Germination of seeds

Dishwashing sponges are excellent at retaining heat and moisture, making them a great place to germinate your seeds.

12. Furniture protection

Sponges are the first helpers in the kitchen. Foam, melamine, cellulose - each of them is indispensable for cleaning and washing dishes. Only? It would be a crime to limit their potential to such a narrow field of application. Today you will learn about ten extraordinary possibilities of an ordinary sponge. 10 lifepacks with a dishwashing sponge, although they will not save the world, will significantly improve your life. Get the most out of the sponge!

1. Healthy "microflora"

  • By the way, did you know that the sponge should never be left wet? In a humid environment, bacteria multiply rapidly. Dry the sponge after each use. Washed and wrung out, it can be put on its feet using a regular stationery clip, which prevents moisture from entering and absorbing.

2. Disinfection of the sponge

  • Disinfection can help extend the life of the sponge, which is the dirtiest place in your kitchen. Place a wet sponge in the microwave and heat at full power for 1-2 minutes. Important: it is strictly forbidden to heat a dry sponge in the microwave. Fire hazard.


3. Ice pack

  • If you freeze a sponge in a bag with a fastener, in case of bumps and bruises, such an ice compress will save you from pain and even prevent bruising.


4. Mobile refrigerator

  • And a few sponges frozen in sealed bags will turn any backpack into a mobile refrigerator that will prolong the life of the food put in it and keep the drinks cold.


5. Paint brush

  • The sponge can support the degree of inspiration by turning into a paintbrush. Cut the sponge into pieces, and clamp the pieces with office winders. Brushes are ready for creativity.


6. Nail polish liquidator

  • Today, jars with foam inserts have been invented to remove nail polish. If you put it in such a painted nail, you will get a clean one. A similar "gadget" for a manicure can be made for three kopecks from a small plastic or glass jar, a dishwashing sponge (make a cut with a clerical knife in the center) and nail polish remover.


7. Pedicure Finger Separator

  • Not only to remove, but also to apply varnish on nails is more convenient with a sponge. Special separators were invented for a pedicure, but what a hassle to look for. A sponge cut into pieces will do the job just as well.


8. Suede brush

  • They say that it is difficult to care for suede. This is not true. The colorful bricks we use to wash the dishes are perfect for cleaning suede. The hard side of the sponge perfectly brushes off dust and dried dirt.


9. Soap dish

  • What could be more disgusting than the look of soap soggy in a soap dish? This will not happen if you put the soap on a sponge instead of a soap dish. Excess moisture will be absorbed, and the soap will retain its aesthetic appearance.


10. The second life of a foam sponge

  • It is known that sponges quickly take on a well-worn look. Prepare a saline solution with 1 liter of water and a quarter cup of salt. Soak a sponge in the solution and let it sit overnight. You won't know in the morning!


Even something as simple as a sponge has good potential. The versatility of its use is really surprising, so I propose to study the most useful life hacks!

Always ready!

Cut out a recess for soap from above in the soft part, then it will always remain dry, without limping at the edge of the sink. Or we make an incision on the side and put a piece of soap inside, so you can take a sponge and immediately start washing the dishes or the sink.

We keep in the freezer

They wet the sponge, put it in a bag and put it in the freezer for about a couple of hours (or overnight). After freezing, we get the perfect compress for removing bruises and swelling after bruises.

And in this way we will also obtain a refrigerant that will save the products during long-term transportation! It is very convenient to take on picnics and trips to the country.

We remove varnish quickly and easily

We take an unnecessary jar with a tightly screwed lid. We put the dishwashing sponges there so that they lie tightly. Fill the top with nail polish remover. Now it is enough to lower your finger and rub it against the foam rubber with your fingernail!

From time to time, of course, you need to change the sponges, but this is much more convenient than fiddling with cotton pads, especially when it comes to varnish with sequins.

We wash the microwave

The microwave oven is used every day, slowly but surely becoming covered with grease, persistent stains, and getting an unpleasant odor. A very easy method based on the principle of a bath will help to get rid of this.

  1. We moisten the kitchen sponge well with water.
  2. Squeeze dishwashing detergent onto it. We are not sorry! We need a lot of foam.
  3. We put it in the microwave.
  4. We turn on the minimum mode, make sure that the foam rubber does not melt! As a rule, it takes about 30 seconds to clean.
  5. Open the door, take the same sponge and wash the oven walls.

The steam softens the stains, helping to clean quickly.

We clean blinds, batteries and fans

How many nerves were spent flushing each plate! Now I am sharing the idea, in my opinion - it's brilliant!

We take ordinary kitchen tongs, make a small incision in the sponge. We get an excellent device for cleaning hard-to-reach places from two sides at once!

What to do with a narrow jar?

To wash a narrow-necked jar, cut the sponge in half. We cut each part from the end and insert a magnet there. Apply dishwashing detergent to one half, lather and place in a jar. We drive the other half along the outside of the can. The magnets will attract, and we can quickly and easily wash away all the dirt!

It is best to use cellulose sponges. According to experts, they are more hygienic.

We erase

The stores sell expensive cloths for washing, but it is not at all necessary to spend money, it is better to do this:

  1. We take a bucket with a lid or container, a pack of sponges.
  2. Pour water into a container, add your favorite fabric softener.
  3. Put the sponges, close the lid and leave in the bathroom on the shelf.
  4. During washing, we take out one thing, wring it out and put it in the drum of the washing machine.
  5. After the end of the cycle, we return our "worker" back.

The method removes static electricity, lint and plaque, prevents shedding and saves the family budget!

We wind the hair

The famous blogger Charmi Jane wrapped her hair on her lips, securing it with elastic bands, and got luxurious curls in the morning. I can assume that in ordinary life this can be useful only if curlers or a curling iron suddenly disappeared from the house.

Essential oils

We all know that the foam surface, water, and food debris are great colonies for many pathogenic bacteria. It is recommended to change the sponges every week, but during use it is necessary to properly care for them. There are many ways, but my favorite is the use of essential oils. Someone drips to the surface, someone prefers to make a solution of vinegar with oil, leaving a sponge in it overnight. I think the second method is safer! Vinegar is an excellent disinfectant, and oil kills germs and gives a pleasant aroma.

The result is the TOP of the 9 coolest tricks that will be useful to every housewife! Of course, I won't say for sure about the curlers, but all the other life hacks have been tested on personal experience - I recommend!
