Homemade Lip scrub

hello all you beauty lovers I hope that you are all doing well, I have been searching around now looking for a new lip scrub, as my lips have been looking awful lately, probably because i have been wearing matte lipsticks constantly, and thought that I would do a homemade one because I know exactly what is going into it and because I was bored lol. This is sooo easy to do and can be made in minutes with a few ingredients lying around your kitchen.

what you will need to make the lip scrub

two teaspoons of white sugar

half a teaspoon of jam (give a pink colour to the lip scrub and make it taste nice)

honey
vanilla flavoring

spoon

bowl

small container

1. Put two teaspoons of white sugar, half a teaspoon of jam and a tiny bit of honey into the mixing bowl.
2. Mix all the ingredients together until you have got the desired consistency.
3. Add vanilla flavorings (optional).
4. Scoop all the product into a container.
5. Wa-lah you have got your home made lip scrub.

April Lip monthly - Cargo, City Color, LA Girl and Ofra cosmetics mini review and swatches

yay it is finally here I don't know why this months lip monthly took so long to arrive but I suppose better late then never. This months lip monthly came packaged in a cute orange makeup bag with purple flowerish detailing aha I am so bad at describing things but you will see what I mean from the picture below. The little card that is included in the bag provides information about the products inside and a little summary of why the colour and item were chosen therefore it says that "this months bag includes colours that are perfect for the warmer spring weather.

MAC Haul - Bao Bao Wan Collection swatches and review

The next collection I received was the Bao Bao wan collection which was quite a small collection so I planned on getting it all apart from the nail polish, However when I realised it had been released lavender jade lipstick and the beauty powder summer opal was already sold out, so I am hoping to be able to pick this up from my local MAC counter when it is released.

Lip monthly subscription - ofra, nyx, hikarai and city colour

Hello beauty lovers today's blog post is about a subscription box which I have been receiving now for 2 months. The subscription service is called lip monthly, the company is based in the USA but they do ship internationally so it's all good. Every month you will receive a unique box straight to your door, lip monthly discover and pick out the best lip products including lip glosses, lipstick, lip balm, lip stains and much more other lip products.

In the box... Well technically it's a cute little makeup bag with a themed design on it, you will receive a variety of products such as 2-3 full sized products, 1-2 sample products and a monthly mix up which is normally a non lip related product if that makes sense lol. When you receive your lip products, it also comes with a cute little card which will have information about the month on one side, and a list of products and the prices on the other side which i find so handy.

Lip monthly currently have three plans to choose from which are the monthly plan (which I am using as I wasn't sure whether I would like the products but I do aha)! This one is $10/month which you will earn 10 shop points on lip monthly's website, 4 month plan which is normally $40 but they currently have a deal on (maybe because it Christmas) so it is only $32.99, and by using the coupon code "HOLIDAY299" you can get your first bag for only $2.99 with 100 free shop points (bargain or what). The last plan is annually and its normal price is originally $120 however it is currently $100, and you can get the first two months free and 200 free shop points,if you use the coupon code "HOLIDAY12". For all you girlies outside of the usa international shipping is an additional $5. And if you are in the uk like me the pricing is roughly £9.60 for the bag including shipping plus an extra £1.28 (which I believe might be for conversion charged but don't quote me on that). I do honestly think that this is a great price for what you receive, especially because most of the lip products are from American brands which are hard to find in this country. So I best stop talking and get into showing you what I have received so far from lip monthly.
