Lush Lip Scrubs

I recently purchased Sweet Lips, scrub from Lush after hearing such great thing about their  lip scrubs.
 Their scrubs come in three different flavours Bubblegum which smell like bubblegum of course; Mint Julep with  a scent of mint chocolate chips and Sweet Lips smells like chocolate and vanilla.
 The vanilla extract keeps your lips moist, castor sugar gently exfoliates, and the rich, deep fragrance of cocoa absolute gives this an irresistible touch.
 And the best thing about these lips scrubs is you can lick it of after you have exfoliated your lip. They taste just like sugar. Yum Yum.
How to use:  Scrub and buff your lip to luxurious softness, lick off the excess then apply your favourite lip balm.

Tips & Tricks to getting the best Lashes

What Mascara colour is right for you?



 Black mascara looks great on everyone and every makeup look. Choose brown mascara if you're a light blonde or redhead and want a more natural look.


Tips to getting the best looking Lashes:

Tip 1: Always move the wand in a swift, zigzag fashion from lash roots to tips as opposed to one sweeping motion.

Tip 2: If you are using a mascara primer, make sure to wait 10-30 seconds for it to dry, then apply your mascara as this will keep it from looking "diluted" or grey as opposed to black

Tip 3: When applying multiple coats of mascara, avoid putting several coats on one eye at a time. Instead, switch from one eye to the next before applying a second coat in order to let your lashes dry between coats.
 

Palmer's Coco Butter Cleansing Gel & Face Lotion

I had recently been given samples of Palmer’s Coco Butter Formula Daily Cleansing Gel and the daily Facial Lotion. I have a fairly oily T zone so I tried them out for the first time the other day and OMG it is amazing. It made my skin so clean and all the oil was gone. The Daily Cleansing Gel is Fragrance Free and is suitable for sensitive skin. The gel has Aloe Vera and Vitamin E in the formula. I put the face lotion on and was expecting that it would be oily like most face creams are but this one is so lightweight and not oily at all. So I purchased a full size product the next day.

Toni and Guy's Dry Shampoo ( Cleanse )

I recently purchased Toni and Guy’s dry shampoo from their Cleanse range and it is amazing. I have tried other dry shampoos and none of them have been as good as this product. I love the scent, it is not too strong that it gives you a head ache when spraying it and not too weak that you cannot smell the scent. I will definitely be repurchasing this product.

I was lucky enough to grab two bottles of this product for $20 at Woolworths supermarket today.

 

 
 
 
 
 

According to Toni & Guy - It absorbs grease and natural oils for second day freshness. Plus, the advanced formula leaves no white residue.

How to use: Shake well, apply to dry hair at the roots to absorb all the oils that you may have in your hair then brush though to get the best result.
