DIY Lip Scrub

Now i know that we've all been there, with dry and chapped lips, so I think once in a while it's good to exfoliate them. I'm going to tell you a DIY which is much more affordable than other lip scrubs and is just as good. Keep reading for this amazing lip scrub.

This is lush lip scrub in bubblegum and the one on the right is our home made one.

What you'll need :

* sugar( white or brown), this is a very good exfoliator

*oil ( coconut, olive, sunflower etc.) makes your lips soft and moisturised 

*honey, also very moisturising

*cinamon( optional- for added flavour,or colour)

*container ( mine is an old lip balm jar)

*spoon for mixing

Now depending on the size of your container and how dry or moisturised your lips are ,you roughly estimate how much of the ingredients you put in. For example if you have dry lips then you'll put more oil and honey but if you want more exfoliation then apply more sugar.

Just add some sugar into your container, and add some honey.  

 

Now add in any oil ( I'm adding some sunflower oil, with vitamin E)' and stir.

Now this is optional, but if you like the taste of cinamon you could add it, which will give it a slight taste and a hint of colour.

If it's too hard ,be sure to add more oil, but if it's too soft add some more sugar.

And there you have it ,your very own freshly made lip scrub. Just apply to the lips and massage with finger, or for even more exfoliation use an old toothbrush. This is a great idea for gifts, just add a bow and..... Wow!

After add your favourite lip balm and enjoy your luscious lips

Pantene Light Repair And Protect Shampoo

I have been trying diffrent shampoo's for years and have never found one to be amazed by. All of the ones are really standard and just clean, and don't do anything to your hair. But a couple of weeks ago I bought this new shampoo which had wonderful comments. I normally love the brand Pantene but as always they do have hits AND MISSES. Once I had bought it, I had realised that it was just a lighter version of the shampoo I wasn't really the biggest fan off. This turned to be he best shampoo I have tried in my life. This was amazing. I love how it really does deep clean your hair but it doesn't dry it. It takes away all of the buildup which makes your hair feel and look cleaner and less greasy. So when you add dry shampoo I between your washes it still feels like freshly washed hair. It does also feel really light and not heavy which is the big difference between this one and the normal version. I would really recommend this to everyone. Dry,Oily,Normal etc.

My Top Summer Fragrances

As always I love smelling good and therefore I wanted to share with you my top summer fragrances. These can range from affordable to high end, but there will be one for everyone.

Juicy Couture Malibu

Now ,this one of my most recent and favourite purchases. First of all look at how gorgeous the bottle is. Now from this collection there is "2" different scents. A pink one and a orange one, the pink one Is lala Malibu while this one is just Malibu. Personally I love wearing all scents all year round but this one just screams summer (and spring). This scent is not too heavy and has a nice light scent. I love how it's not too floral but not all fruity. Inside there is white floral, watermelon ,tangerine ,apple ,lily, pink passion fruit, jasmine and musk. I would say this scent can be worn by most ages, I feel that even though it's sweet and fruity it has some sort of classy, sophisticated note too. The lasting power is quite good, it's very noticeable for around 3h but then it gets lighter. I absolutely adore this fragrance.

Alien by Thierry Mugler

This particular scent is more of a classic, more mature scent, but I do love it anyway.  It's much more a stronger scent so you could also wear it at night time. It has mandarin, Moroccan jasmine, musk and amber. As you can probably tell it has a lot of musky undertones. This one I love all year round so it might be more for fall since it's slightly heavier but I just had to mention this.

Love Spell By Victoria Secret

This scent has been here for a while now, and is one their signature scents now.  I love this since I think it's super light ,just for summer and it's a very fresh ,sweet scent. I also think it's more for the younger crowd like for the teenagers and people in their 20s. But of course it's life! Wear want you want and just have fun. This contains notes of peach and chines cherry blossom. The only thing I would say is that it doesn't last very long on the skin( about 2h). But it's sooo fresh and gorgeous!

Hoped you guys enjoyed some of my top 3 fragrances and please tell me in the comments below your faves for summer. Also leave any requests down below for any particular post!

Eyeko Skinny Liquid Liner

Recently I bought this Eyeko liquid liner which I've been using quite often and have been amazed at the magic it does. Now let's just get straight to the point! So first of all I love how fine the applicator is and what a precise line it makes. Then I love that it's in a pen form so it makes it slightly easier to apply your eyeliner (even if your bad at eyeliner). The only thing that could be improved on is the colour selection.This liner doesn't come In a wide selection of colours with just  3/4 shades in the range. This liner is more on the " higher end" list but isn't to pricey for a good quality eyeliner. So if your looking for a good, easy to use liquid liner you have found your match!

 

My Body Shop Faves!

Hello Everyone!
I'm just an ordinary teenage girl who is obsessed with everything beauty and fashion. I wanted to share some of my favourites from the Body shop since I love so many of their products (especially the scents!) So here are some of the things that I have been loving recently.


Vineyard Peach Body Butter

Everyone talks about how amazing their body butters are, so me being a Body Shop lover of course I had to try them out. I had bought this body butter on sale around February but didn't use it often since I was still using the warmer type of scents for winter. But since spring and summer is here I decided I should start using it. The smell Is absolutely gorgeous, it smells just like fresh peaches, which is great for summer. But the body butter itself is really amazing. I find that it is super moisturizing, especially if you have slightly dryer skin. I find that for me it isn't too greasy but it is a slightly heavier body moisturizer. They have a wide range of scents so there's something for everyone. Overall I would definitely repurchase their body butters, since I think they are ever so lovely!   



Mango Shower Gel

Shower gels are something you will always need, so why don't you treat yourself with some lovely smelling ones! Personally I'm not a big fan of tropical scents but when I smelt the mango scent I fell in love. Somehow  this was different, although It was still tropical I completely fell in love! Now this shower gel isn't super moisturising, its more just a standard  shower gel but the scents are amazing. One thing I dislike is that when you're in the shower you cant really smell the scent which is a bit disappointing. But every time I'm in the shop it always temps me.  

Lip Butters

I can personally never have to many lip products, so lip balms is always a must. Every time I walk past their lip butters they always attract me. The cute packaging, the different flavours/scents and of course how moisturizing they look. When I bought a couple it became my number 1 product. They are sooo creamy and moisturizing and leave your lips feeling so soft. This isn't a lip balm really targeted for really chapped lips, but for softness this is definitely the one. My favourite is the Shea butter one since I feel that it is the most moisturizing, but to be honest they are all amazing. I like to use this before bed since it comes in small pots which would be slightly harder to use on the go. But overall I feel this is one of the best products in the Body Shop!

So if you have any Body Shop products you have tried or are your favourites please tell me in the comments below.
