Wax On, Wax Off - Homemade Hair Removal part 1 - StumbleUpon

Wax On, Wax Off - Homemade Hair Removal part 1 - StumbleUpon
Unfortunately sisters Rebecca and Maggie come from a very hairy family. So when we saw recipes for homemade waxing we said, "OW!!" and then, "We gotta try this!" We spent Tuesday morning trying a couple different recipes with great results. We liked them so much we decided to do two posts on them. If you have ever tried products like Nads, this recipe is just like that. Here's What You Need: 1 cup of sugar1/4 cup of honey1 ounce of lemon juicea drizzle of molasses (optional) You Will Also Need: cotton fabric strips (we used an old bed sheet) 3 in. x 10 in.popsicle stick or butter knife In a microwave safe bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Make sure the area you are going to wax is clean and dry. Now, using your Popsicle stick spread a very thin layer down your leg in the direction of the hair growth. Press your strip of into the sugar. Pull your skin taught. We did find that it took a little practice getting this technique down, but once we did we found it worked really well.

Manicure Mondays - Essie LuxeEffects & Fab Fatale Essie LuxeEffects is a gorgeous collection of five shimmer, glitter and flakies top coats. I can’t remember the last time a brand came out with an entire collection of top coats, so this was really fun to review. I swatched one coat of each LuxeEffects over a neutral nude polish to showcase the difference between each topper. Sand Tropez (not included in the collection) is a beautiful khaki tan creme polish from Essie’s Spring 2011 A French Affair collection. I used this as the base color for each LuxeEffect. From Kitchen Counter to Beauty Counter Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of Cosmetic Couturier lip videos. In every video she always uses the sugar scrub from LUSH. I know a lot of you probably have the same problem I do when it comes to LUSH…it’s ridiculously difficult to get to one of the stores and ordering bath products online can be a bit scary. I am hypersensitive to certain scents, so I can’t just pick something out and try it out without some serious fears. Today, I decided, I want my own lip scrub.

Makeup Savvy: Dazzle Dust Nail Tutorial - StumbleUpon I've been wanting to try out paint splattered nails for ages now, however it seems like alot of hard work and also kind of messy! So me being supposedly 'savvy' and all I came up with a probably just as messy idea...but slightly more fun and prettier. Also it looks alot more delicate than having a paint splattered effect and alot less nail arty and more wearable. Now like I say... it is kind of messy so you will need at least one face wipe/baby wipe and something to do it on like the back of a magazine. Also your nail polish of choice and a pigment or dazzle dust!
