How to Make Your Own Beauty Products from Scratch - Health - GOOD Let's keep things simple this week. When it comes to personal-care products, we are big believers in streamlining what you use—see "Eight Products You Think You Need But Don't" for a refresher—buying less in general, and getting creative. We have both always loved experimenting in our kitchens and our bathrooms, checking ingredients in products we love, isolating the main ones, and then trying them on their own. Sometimes it works: A favorite hair leave-in contained aloe, for example, so one day we tried aloe alone and found that, lo and behold, it worked just fine on its own. And sometimes it didn't. Over the years we have tried dozens of DIY beauty recipes to find ones we like—and that work. Simple body scrub Honey face wash We already told you about our new favorite homemade face wash last week but here's the recipe: In the palm of your hand, combine a tablespoon of raw, unfiltered honey with a half a tablespoon of baking soda, mix it together, and apply to damp skin.

High Definition Powder from elf Cosmetics | Buy High Definition Powder online - StumbleUpon I have sheer. I would like to try the corrective yellow, but it's out of stock often. This is okay as a powder. But try it under your foundation. It's basically a powdered silicone and creates a barrier between your moisturizer and foundation. It is messy like others have said. # Pros-Face Blends Easily, Versatile, Smooth Application, Long-Lasting # Best Uses - Beauty Oily Skin, Special Occasion, Daily Use, Normal Skin ✔ Yes, I recommend this product. 9 essentials to building a makeup kit. | Becoming Beautiful If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! Image by Psoup215 on flickr If you know nothing about makeup and cosmetics, having to step into the shiny cosmetic halls of myers can be daunting and scary. And you know what, if the first counter I had approached was MAC with its amazing reputation of SAs who bite your head off, I’d probably never be sitting here today surrounded by my vast collection of my makeup products and loving it quite like I do now. Everybody has to start from somewhere. If you are looking to build a good basic kit, here are my recommendations on what you should have in your beginner’s kit and also my current fave product for it. 1.

3 Simple Homemade Lip Balms - Your Lipsve Never Been Yummier Three Amigo Lip Balms Waiting for a homemade lip balm to set up is a little like developing a Polaroid. You stand there and watch. And then you touch. And then you curse, because it wasn’t quite dry and you screwed up the pristine look. And then you watch. So my first recommendation when making your own homemade lip balm: Pour it in your container and walk away. Seriously. These are the three homemade lip balm recipes that I’ve enjoyed the most over the past couple of years. One is made with lavender essential oil, one has a main ingredient of coconut oil, and the last … well, it’s peppermint-chocolatey goodness. Now, with all these recipes, you can substitute whatever essential oils you have on hand (or prefer). This recipe uses honey, which gives the balm a heavenly taste. Note: This lip balm is relatively soft, but I think it would hold up just fine if you wanted to pour it in a clean lip balm tube. Luscious Lavender Lip Balm Recipe More About the Color It was lovely!

Red Lipstick - Why you can never own too many&lipsticks - Alternatively Lovely - Rockalily Throughout my life, Mother Rockette always had red lipstick on, and she always has one in her purse. I learnt that red lipstick meant you were 'ready'. As a younger girl, heading out on the town, Mother Rockette would check, ''Wallet? Keys? Lipstick?'' Gwyneth Paltrow famously said ''Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. When I wear red lipstick I feel it says something to the world. The gorgeous Bette Davis admitted, ''Even when I'm at home alone, I wear my lipstick. Red lips never go out of fashion, Cleopatra painted hers red to attract Caesar, and unlike oranges, pinks and browns, red lippy is always on trend. Audrey Hepburn told us, ''I believe in manicures. It has been said that in times of economic downturn the sale of lipsticks rise. Everyone can wear red lipstick.
Breaking Down Beauty: Fixing Broken Powder Cosmetics « Painted Ladies By Sheila Arkee So, you have a favorite eyeshadow, pressed powder, or blush you absolutely cannot live without. Life happens, and sometimes before you even realize it, you find yourself the owner of your favorite product, smashed into 5 million little pieces. When your powder cosmetics are broken into 5 million pieces, you can always put them in a small container and use as a loose shadow, but you DO have the option of fixing the products so it’s almost as good as new. It’s easy! The only extra product you’ll need is Rubbing Alcohol that you can get from any old drugstore. Here is a lovely L’Oreal H.I.P. #319 eyeshadow that was sadly broken upon arrival. Step 1: Dump the shadow into a small bowl. Step 2: Use the back of a brush to crush the shadow into a fine powder. Step 3: I used the cap to my rubbing alcohol as a measurement and poured it into the container with the shadow. I used a wooden stirrer that I had lying around, but you can use a spoon or anything you want. Step 7: All set!
Cher Cabula's Mindbox Hawaiian Bath and Body island inspired Natural Soap and Natural Skin Care Made in Hawaii Makeup Mon...errr Tuesday: Green Eyes First, I know it's Tuesday and I'm predictably late with Makeup Monday. I hope the lack of alliteration doesn't detract from the post; I promise that I have lots of great excuses for not putting this up yesterday. Or, I fell asleep. One of my first forays into the wonderful world of bright eyeshadow was with a beautiful shade of green from Milani (whose older shadows were amazing), and I was forever hooked. Green has since become the most popular color in my rather large makeup collection, though I can't remember the last time I gave them a proper spotlight. That was rectified immediately, upon my recent purchase of the Urban Decay Black Palette, which has a beautiful dark emerald that was surprisingly missing from my arsenal. For this look, I only used the dark green in the palette, Libertine, and the primer potion. For step by step instructions on how to achieve this look, continue reading after the jump! This will make the colors pop and keep them from creasing.
