Tight-wad Beauty Tips with Pyper

To whiten fingernails, soak your fingers in warm water with a denture tablet in it.

Get the perky nipples you always wanted. Let SaintPeter nurse on those bad boys. Or double your money back.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Not your fake ones. The real ones. That yellow-ish color is unbecoming.

Okay, well, lemme do some random ones that I can think of right now.

Makeup: It's all about the lipgloss. Cheap, pretty, appliable without a mirror. Who needs a twenty dollar stick of lipstick?

Making breasts look larger without surgery: I'm an expert. 1) Get a slightly padded bra...don't overdo it! Bras that stand up by themselves look fake. 2) Tissue paper doesn't work. Trust me. 3) Wear shirts that are loose around the bust...no need to emphasize what you don't have. 4) Horizontal stripes are your friend.

Hair tips: Curly hair is easy to cut yourself, because it's naturally uneven in length. For less breakage, don't brush hair while wet. Mousse is always the same, no matter how expensive or cheap it is.


Whew, that's all for now girls.

A little shading and accenting with makeup can do wonders for your cleavage.

Horizontal stripes can make you look fatter.

Suave is actually a good brand for quite a bit of stuff. I'm more picky about the conditioner because my curly hair needs extensive moisturizing and detangling.

Clarification: If you are concerned about looking chubby, but want the illusion of a bigger bust, try a shirt in a solid dark color with horizontal stripes only around the chest.

Hair removal: 1) For shaving, that Gillette Gel for women with all kinds of frangrances. Mmm, wild berry. 2) A new product called Veet Mousse works even better than Magic with zero mess, but breaks my tight-wad rule at five bucks a can. The can lasts for maybe two rounds on the legs. Only for special occasions or bikini line.

Thanks Phrodeau........
but this is the advice from the Tight Wadded One.......Pyper.

Right First Letter, wrong letters afterward.

Well, you're welcome then.

I thought you might've made a typo in the title.

Pyper.........


I worship at your cheaply pampered feet.

LOL

I'm off to shower with my massive bottle of cheap refreshingly scented Spanish bath gel for stinky Spanish men. Buenas noches.

I'm sad that because my name isn't Pyper I'm not allowed to post tips to this thread. Do you think you could make an exception for me, Siren? I promise you won't be disappointed with the tight-waddedness of my beauty tips. I have some good ones.

Where do you buy Veet Mousse? And why is it better than Magic?

Okay, one last question, just for lavy. I used Veet Mousse in Spain, and recently saw it advertised here. I haven't looked for it yet, cause I still have my Spanish can.

It's better than Magic because 1) it sprays on, therefore no mess because you never have to touch it, 2) it comes off under warm water with a sponge, no scraping, and 3) I've just found it works better at eliminating hair.

Go for it sweetie.

Lets learn what you know.

Cool. OK, here's one recipe you can make at home that works as well as Tend Skin, the anti-shaving bump preparation. I improvised this recipe after reading the ingredients on the label (primarily Salicylic acid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Dimethicone) and it works just as well as the real deal, but it costs about 50 cents to make rather than 15 dollars a bottle. I've already been the guinea pig for this experiment, but you might avoid it if you have ultra sensitive skin, or use it less often if you feel dryness or irritation. (Tend Skin comes with the same advice, incidentally)

First crush a handful of regular aspirin (10 or so) as finely as you possibly can. A mortar and pestle works well, but putting them in a ziploc and bashing them with your rolling pin is good too. When you have a fine powder, dump it into a small jar and pour in a few splashes of Isopropyl Alcohol-- maybe 1/4 cup's worth or whatever will fit into your bottle. Add a few squirts of Dimethicone-based anti-frizz hair serum, and shake vigorously.

With a cotton ball, dab this mixture onto any areas where you have ingrown hairs. The IPA acts as an astringent, and the salicylic acid acts as a gentle exfoliant. The dimethicone moisturizes and protects the skin from the previous two ingredients. The theory is that it creates turgor in the follicle and the hair will pop out after a couple of days' treatment, but I think it's the exfoliant effect, more likely. It does work quite well, in any case.

Beauty product to spend money on: Foundation

Beauty product to buy el cheapo: Eye Shadow

Hydrogen Peroxide will lighten the oxidized oil from small blackheads.

Egg whites beaten until foamy and painted over face and throat will harden into a vicious masque that pulls impurities and tightens pores. Moisturizer well after.

I couldn't help myself. I felt compelled to share.

Freya, our avs are like some weird before and after reversal experiment.

Ha! I have a tightwad hair tip!

For an at home hot oil treatment:

Fill a mug half way with really, really hot water. Fill a sandwich bag up with vegetable oil (how much depends on your hair length). Put el sandwich bag in the mug and let it sit for a minute or two...then proceed to comb it through hair. It gets a little messy and feels gross but it works wonders and makes your hair all perty. Viola!

Here's another tight-wad tip. It might not be a beauty tip, per se, but it does involve the use of an inexpensive beauty product.

John Frieda's Frizz-Ease Hair Serum also doubles as an excellent silicone based lube, on par with the very expensive Eros lube. Their ingredient lists are virtually identical, but the hair-goo costs about $10 less for the same quantity as the Eros. It also comes in a very handy pump dispenser that is the perfect size for purse or pocket. It is super slick, long lasting, and latex compatible, so it won't munch through your condoms. It is also absolutely free of taste or fragrance, so it's OK to use before oral fun. It's good to augment your lubricity without being obvious that that's what you've done.

The stuff gets two enthusiastic thumbs up from me.

[superlittlegirl]

huh?

that is too much work.

I like cheap....but not difficult.

Aww, c'mon. You put three ingredients together and you shake it up. How much work is that? I'd rather spend 5 minutes and 50 cents than 15 dollars on the very same thing. But maybe I'm a more devoted tightwad than you are, eh?
