If there is one thing, that we have in common with the people at BuzzFeed life -panel, as an abiding love for cats GIFs-it's an appreciation for hacks (post-Fitness-Studio Beauty-Hacks, Back Hacks, the list goes on).This month we're collaborating with the site to bring you ideas, so you can hack the holidays, Beauty-weise. In that let-make-things easy spirit, the BuzzFeed editors shared with us some of their lazy girl beauty hacks.
1. Mix a little peppermint oil into your lip gloss to give your lips a plumping boost.
2. scrape out every last drop of foundation/bronzer / shine, before you schelp back to the store.
3. Use a white or light colored eyeliner, to really pop your eyes (or hide, how tired / hungry you are).

4. If you accidentally buy a foundation, which is too dark, by putting a bit of moisturizer, to your mix can help you, she enlightens.
5. To get the most out of your mascara, stay in your bra for a few minutes, to warm it up. It will work magic on your lashes and curl that much better.
6. If you don't want to, that your makeup, to move an inch, to spend $ 11 on some Ben Nye last seals. It is one constitutional sealer, the pros use, to make up sweat off or sliding off your face, and basically holding your new BFF, if you plan on walking, dancing or running or doing something super active.
7. Use the one and done philosophy: If you only have a short amount of time (or energy), either play, up your eyes or your lips, not both. And if you don't feel like it, crazy with your eyes, a quick comb of an eyebrow brush and a swipe of mascara can usually do the trick.
8. If your flaky, clumpy mascara last longer, mix in a little contact solution. But if you want to have had it for longer than three months, throw, no matter what. You do not need / wants an eye infection.
9. Too lazy, to wash your face at night? Keep face towels by your bed. SkynIsland, Josie Maran, Ole Henricksen and Burts Bees all make awesome and easy-to-carry wipes.
10. Wanna fight swelling? Go to sleep. Sleeping propped up on two pillows instead of one can help, to reduce swelling, by leaking fluid from your face. Literally. That's it.
11. Want your shiny lipstick, a matte look, without buying a new tube? Dab on some concealer before application. It'll be dull just like that, and it will also keep your lipstick on longer.
12. Treat yourself to a healing foot treatment, while you sleep. Apply peppermint moisturizer or petroleum jelly to your tired and cracked feet, and then on some convenient ones, throw padded socks. And head to bed. That's it. Wake up with softer, smooth feet.
13. Add a little cornstarch to a mirror finish, to give a matte finish.

14. To make your hair look thicker immediately, brush a little eye shadow on your side.
15. if you do not want, to bother with fixing and refixing your hair all day long, Spray your bobby pins with hairspray, before you put them in.
16. Save so much time by drying your hair with a t-shirt, instead of a towel.
17. Make dry shampoo your BFF. For those, those in between forget-it-i'm bang-snooze days again. Dry shampoo will help, Her hair look ok and not a walking ball of pizza grease. Give Amika Perk Up! Dry Shampoo a go.
18 Screw-showers just wash your roots in the sink.
19. If you really don't feel the hair, just stick them in a pretty turban or scarf.
