DIY beauty series! #1 make your own eye primer!

Eye Primer

hey everyone! so I'm going to do a series on my blog which will last a week or two on DIY beauty and will be teaching you all how to make your own beauty product at home with common household (cheap!) items! i just recently began getting obsessed with making my own products but found it difficult finding "recipes"for them so i thought i would put them all in one place for you! i hope you enjoy the series as much as i have enjoyed researching and writing about it! and if you want to see the rest of the series please follow! now to begin.....


What you will need......


your favourite...
*liquid/cream foundation
*liquid/cream concealer
*body butter
*an empty tub/container to put your primer in.
*something to stir the mixture.

1. there is no exact measurements for this so its mainly just your own judgement.
     add an equal amount of your concealer,foundation and body butter to your container.

-make sure you have the same amount of each product


2.mix the three products together until you get a liquidy/pasty consistency

-add extra of each product if necessary to fill your container to where you want.





And that is it!! it is super easy and super effective i did some swatches for you showing first an eyeshadow with no primer, then the same eye shadow with a drugstore primer then finally the same eyeshadow with our homemade primer......
no primer   -    drugstore   -      homemade


as you can see our primer does the same job if not better than the drugstore primer the only thing i would say is the drugstore primer had more ware and lasted a bit longer than ours but for the price and the amount than we can make i would definitely say ours is perfect for everyday use!

hope you enjoyed!if you did leave a comment and follow also if you try it leave a comment telling me you like the results!!

DIY beauty series! #2 make your own lip scrub!

lip scrub!

hey everyone! so i noticed that generally lip scrubs are quite expensive so i was excited to see that we can make our own at home!! hope you enjoy please comment and follow if you did! :)



What you will need....

*container/tub to keep it in
*olive oil
*Vaseline/petroleum jelly
*chap stick
* sugar
*something to mix with.


1.cut off about 2cms down of chap stick (the more you use the more flavour and colour your scrub will have.) crush it (to make mixing easier) and add it to the container.

2.add about 3/4 tablespoon of petroleum jelly/Vaseline to the container (the more pjelly the thicker the consistency)

3.add about 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil
- if the mixture gets to watery add pjelly if it gets to thick add more olive oil :)


4.add alot of  sugar (brown would be best)! its up to you the more you add the more exfoliating it will be!!

5.mix your products and add more if necessary until you are happy with it them leave it in the fridge over night to set then you have a lip scrub!! i think this lipscrub is definatly comparable with the lush lipscrubs! :)
