Are there any beauty tools that you never use?

Are there any beauty tools that you never use? Ones you own or ones you've looked at and thought, "I'd never use that!"

Rant & Rave: Dry Shampoo

Rant & Rave: Dry Shampoo

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Dry Shampoos!

my answer: The SMELL! They're often SO strong and cloying that it makes it hard for me to use them. I love that they extend time between a wash if you don't have time/are lazy.

What would you like to see improved with products as we head into 2015?

What do you do with packaging?

What do you do with packaging?

What do you do with packaging? Cute or interesting boxes/bags? Velvet bags? Do you keep them, reuse them, or toss them? Share!

I recycle just about everything that I can, otherwise I pass on to friends and family. I have maybe 10-20 velvet pouches from each brand that has them, but I never use them,...
