Winter have your lips crackin’ like the Sahara? And lipstick just highlights those cracks! Ew! All you’ll need is: 1 tsp of coconut oil, 1 tsp of raw honey, 1.5 – 2 TB of raw/granulated sugar mixed, and a dash of lemon juice. Don’t worry if you happen to taste it – it’s absolutely DELISH! Mix these ingredients together to make a sugary paste. Use a soft bristle toothbrush or finger to dippy-dip into the scrub.
Use soft circular motions across your lips. WHY THE CHOICE OF INGREDIENTS? Coconut Oil = vit E & K, polyphenols are anti aging, & fatty acids that moisturize w/o breakouts Raw Honey = natural antibacterial, amino acids that moisturize. Raw Sugar = produces glycolic acid/alpha hydroxy which exfoliates & stimulates collagen production – anti aging Lemon Juice = vit C & citric acid brighten skin, scars, and exfoliates. PSST!!!

I could not count the amount of money I have wasted by throwing away makeup that I thought was trash, when I could have fixed it. There is no need to throw your money away on perfectly good makeup! If you happen to break you powder makeup, you can easily fix it with alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and patience! This works for any kind of powder based makeup, such as bronzers, blot powders, eyeshadows, whatever! As you can see I broke my favorite bronzer - MAC "Refined Golden", and instead of buying a new one, which is out in the "Style Warriors" collection, I decided to fix mine and save my money. All you need is a few drops of alcohol into your broken powder compact.
Usually it would be said to use 75%+ based alcohol, but this is because the more alcohol concentrate, the faster it dries. Don't worry about the alcohol staying in the powder and causing your skin to dry out, it will completely evaporate. So how does it work? Here are the steps! The next day - All dry and ready to be used again! Xoxo, Sunshine Sugar Scrub. This home-made scrub is the ideal solution for the woman that has everything.
