Homemade lip scrub!

So, in the interest of saving money I made my own lip scrub...!
It is very easy to make and there is a very good chance you all have the ingredients needed, in your house this very moment!
Let's start off with what you are going to need...


1. Vaseline(I used the traditional vaseline and a pea-sized amount of Vaseline "Rosy Lips" lip therapy).
2. A tea spoon of sugar (I mixed white sugar and brown sugar)
3. Something to mix the ingredients with. I used a small wooden stick but you can even use a cotton bud if you want.
4. A clean & sanitised container.
p.s. The Christmas decorations in the background are optional ;) :P

Now on to the process:
Firstly put some vaseline in the container (approximately enough to fill 2/3 of the container). I added the pea-sized amount of the pink vaseline to change the color of the scrub and give it a pleasant rosy smell.

Then add the sugar in the container and mix the ingredients. Make sure all the sugar has been incorporated into the vaseline. Your scrub should look something like this:

And you're...DONE!
For tips on how to use it just ask me...!
Hopefully you'll find this useful and very easy to make.

Greetings my dear followers ;)

Holiday special Vol I

Hello my lovely followers!!!!

I have a look for you today!I created this for the holiday season. It is pretty simple really and quite wearable especially if you skip the glitter eyeliner.
This is what it looks like!Please bear in mind that my camera is not an HD one so the colors look somewhat muted.






What I used :

ELF corrective concealer for under the eyes
Urban Decay Primer Potion
A frosty white e/s on the inner half of the lid (I used Heartbreaker Cosmetics "It's magic" form the New Love line)
A taupe e/s on the outter half & in the crease (I used a taupe from my NYX "Champaign & Caviar" palette)
On the outter corner use a darker color of your choice(I used "Socialite" mineral e/s by ELF)
Blend it with a tapered/ blending brush (I used MAC 217) so that it looks seemless.
Add a black eyeliner of your choice and create a slight cat-eye (I used SLEEK dip-it liquid liner).
Then I used a Collection 2000 Glam Crystals Dazzling gel liner in No1 "Glitz". I put this on my bottom lash line.I also dragged it towards the outter corner to meet the black eyeliner.
Last but not least curl your lashes and add your favorite black mascara (I used Maybelline's Last Stilletto Volume).

I hope you like it and I'll definately come up with a couple more looks for this festive season including a New Year's eve look.

Have a great week everyone!!!!
