We often suffer from scaly lips especially during the cold season. The trick is to exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush and slather it with a petroleum jelly. The toothbrush exfoliates lips while the petroleum jelly leaves lips extra soft. Repeat a couple times a day until your lips are no longer scaly.

A busy schedule is one the most perfect excuses that girls use when they start neglecting themselves. How many times have you heard the line “I have no time?” Countless right? But this shouldn’t be the case. Because believe it or not, all you need to stay pretty is ten minutes tops.

Ready? Here we go:

1. Wash, tone, and moisturize. You’ve heard it time and again, but it’s true. Following this easy, three-step secret can help keep your skin smooth, young, and zit-free. And with spotless skin, what would you need make-up for? If you move quick enough, five minutes is all you need.

2. Hair we go. Your hair is there for a reason and it shouldn’t be ignored. If you think you won’t have time to be bothered with it, then take three minutes to clear the tangles and put it up in a neat pony. Too short? Slather on some gel or wax to keep every strand in place. A messy mop of hair with no sense of direction? Definitely not pretty.

3. Pink is it. You’ve already got perfect skin and your hair’s in place. So all you need to complete the look is to swab a bit of color to your lips and cheeks. A lip and cheek tint would instantly give you a healthy pink glow.

Whether you want to admit it or not, Angelina Jolie’s lips make you envious because let’s face it, most of us aren’t born with full, voluptuous pouts and so we try to do everything we can to get that look. Unfortunately, it can be a bit of a challenge and it doesn’t always work out. You either put too much stuff on and you end up looking like a clown, you don’t put enough on, or you just can’t seem to get your pucker to look full no matter what you try! So what’s the trick to getting super full lips without the injection?

STEP 1: STAIN
Go to your local drug store and buy a berry shade lip stain. Start by dabbing it on to your lips by blending it into the inside of your mouth, which is the soft part next to your teeth. Use your ring finger to do this and dab it gently to create a just-kissed look.

STEP 2: STAY INSIDE THE LINES
This is a great trick to help you stay inside the lines with your products as well as to help prevent smudging. Simply apply concealer around your top and bottom lip using a concealer wand.

STEP 3: DEFINE
This is where you concealer does the trick! Pat the concealer in with your finger to set it – this will help with the definition of the mouth as well as creating a fuller lip.

STEP 4: FINISH
Finish off the process by applying a clear, sparkly gloss to your lips. When the light reflects off them, they will appear larger. And that’s all there is to it! Now granted your lips will probably never look like Angelina Jolie’s, but at least you can be proud of your pucker!
