Pampered People’s Stacy Cox is back to save us from our office beauty 911s with affordable quick fix tips!”

| Item | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Fabreeze | Deodorant Faded | Spray a bit onto a paper towel & run under your armpits |
| Dryer Sheet | Hair has fly aways & Frizzies | Run the dryer sheet over your hair to tame wild pieces |
| VaselinePink Highlighter | Lips need color | Mix w/ a little blush or apply a pink highlighter to lips & smooth it out w/ a dab of Vaseline |
| HairsprayVaseline | Nails Look Dull | Hairspray can make them shiny in an instant. Massaging Vaseline into nails and cuticles can work too. |
| Paperclip | More Hair Drama | Open up a couple paperclips and shape Them into “V’s”. They will look like big jumbo bobby pins and you can secure hair up in bun fast. |
| Black Sharpie | No EyelinerNo Mascara | Use a black Sharpie, just be sure you have a steady hand otherwise you may live with the look for several days. |
| Vaseline | Clean up any makeup mess | Use a moist towelette and Vaseline or a tissue to “erase” makeup that moved around during the day. |
| Book of Matches | Frayed Nail | Use the sandpaper side of the match book to file down a chip in your nail. |
| Olive OilBanana Peel
Salad Dressing |
Scuffed Shoes | Dampen a paper towel and remove any dirt, then apply a few drops or olive oil or rub a banana peel over your shoes to polish them up quickly |
| Staples & Tape | Seat of pant rippedHem came undone | It’s not the classiest move, but a few strategically placed staples on the inside seams may save you from ultimate embarrassment. For hems use masking or packing tape for best results |
| Paperclips | Fly away collarsForgot collar stays | Grab two paperclips and they will sub in nicely for missing collar stays. |
