The Best of Beauty: July 2010

Throughout the next 12 days, I'll be giving you a look back at some of my favorite posts from the past year. Check out July after the jump!

Conditioner as shave gel? Lip balm as cuticle cream? I give you the inside scoop on the best unconventional uses for your favorite beauty products.
