Lip Exfoliating + DIY Lip Scrub ♡

10/18/2013

Hello girlies! Today I'm writing about an important subject. Well, it's not "major" important but it's mandatory for all girls to know. This is about exfoliating your lips. We all want pink luscious lips right? By exfoliating you're getting rid of all the dead skin from your lips. You probably won't notice it but when you remove the dead skin you'll feel so fresh! I love exfoliating but over-exfoliating is bad for you. I like to exfoliate a few times a month just to be on the safe side. You'll see progress in your lips the first time you exfoliate! One thing to remember is to scrub gently, you want to remove dead skin— not the first layer of your lips. If you notice any blood then you know you're scrubbing to hard. One minute of exfoliating should be enough. Your lips should be pink after a proper exfoliate. You can purchase a lip scrub, my favourite would be the popcorn scrub from Lush, or you could make your own!

Lip Scrub Recipe

1 tbs of olive oil or Vaseline

2 tbs of sugar (white or brown sugar will work)

1 tsp of lemon juice

The olive oil acts as a moisturizer. The sugar is the exfoliate while the lemon juice lightens your lips. You want to mix these ingredients together and you're done! Easy right? If you want to make more then use a 1:2 ratio (2tbs of oil + 2tbs of sugar etc.) This could be easily stored away for future use!

Pick your right foundation shade~

8/10/2013

Hey girlies! I am going to give you some tips on how to pick your perfect foundation shade! Let's begin.

° Choose a brand that is well known. It doesn't have to be high end, but something that you know won't harm your skin; like Revlon or Maybelline.

° Don't order your foundation online if you don't know your shade. It may look like it will match your skin but you're not certain.

° When you're at the store, grab a few foundation shades and test it on the back of your hand or forearm. If you find one that matches your skin tone, then either purchase it then or write down the shade number if you want to come back for it.

° If you can't find a "perfect shade" then you can always mix two different shades together.

° You can always ask for assistance if you need any help finding your shade.

° Test out different brands to see which you like the most!
