Le.Minimalist: FUN WITH KEVIN MURPHY COLOR BUGS + DIY! How to make your own lip plumping lip gloss. Most women (at least the ones I know) like the idea of having nice full natural looking lips.

How to make your own lip plumping lip gloss

Since store bought lip plumpers are usually pretty pricey, this homemade version not only works just like a lip plumper should but it is super inexpensive to make yourself! The secret ingredient that most of the expensive lip plumpers have in them is cinnamon oil. Cinnamon oil works by stimulating blood flow, which makes it the perfect (natural) lip-plumping agent. The more you add the more your lips will tingle and plump. What you will need: Clear unscented lip gloss%100 pure cinnamon essential oil Pour 7-8 drops of cinnamon oil into the bottle of clear lip gloss. Put the cap back on and make sure you evenly mix up the oil. Homemade Body Scrub. Supplies - 3 cups of sugar3/4 cup of olive oilJuice from one lemonZest from two lemons2 tablespoons of vanilla extractJar(s)TwineTags (I used a shipping tag like these, which I always keep handy) So as a quick disclaimer, this is about the easiest thing you’re ever going to do.

Homemade Body Scrub

Hooray for simple! Put your sugar in a large mixing bowl, then mix in the oil and vanilla extract. You can scale this recipe up or down depending on how many jars of body scrub you’d like to end up with and how large the larges are that you choose. Next up, zest two lemons and add it to the mix.

DIY temporal ombre hair. Hello there!

DIY temporal ombre hair

Well, I am kinda obsessed with the ombre hair, so I tried it with my sister, but as she doesn't like the idea of dying her hair I sorta created a different way of using to de chalk technique! You just need some chalk, water, a small container, a paintbrush and a towel. First place a small part of the chalk you've chosen and dissolve it until you see it is totally incorporated, after that just apply the mixture over the tips of your hair, let it dry and then just comb it, repeat these steps by adding more color on the tips so that you get the ombre style!

I’ve gotten (and scratched) the itch twice, and following both incidents I spent the next two years kicking myself as my hair slowly inched its way back to its original length.

This morning the uniform clothiers who will be pimping bridal bodies like Bishop Don Juan is *drum roll*. JW Anderson, you know us we love a red hot designer collaboration, and Topshop are doing some seriously good things with their collaborations. We were wowed by the collab that they had earlier this year with Mary Katrantzou. But, to be able to get some JW Anderson with prices beginning from an incredibly reasonable £1.99 (yes, really – there is a very cute badge that we are eyeing up at the moment).

There is more hot couture than you shake your edging near to the limit credit card at. A great mix of simplicity and crazy cool patterns, there is so much to love and lust over! Loveumadly. Last weekend, I met a family friend’s lovely girlfriend for the first time.
