DIY EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

You don't need any fancy pants 'eye makeup remover stuff' to get the toughest smokey eye wiped off. In fact, these methods are so simple, so cheap...that you only need ONE INGREDIENT. (There are 2 DIY eye makeup removers btw) 


-VASELINE





Just apply some vaseline all over your eyelid (or wherever your eye makeup is), take a tissue or cotton cloth and simply wipe. If you see that there is still something there, repeat. 




Another method/way: 


-OLIVE OIL 




Try using Extra Virgin Olive Oil...because it is said to be a little better than the normal kind. 


-Just smear/apply some olive oil to your eyemakeup. Take a cotton cloth, and just wipe off. And if there is still more, than just repeat :) 


Yuup, so yeah, hope this helps, 
and take care :)

DIY Egg Mask Facial

Using a simple egg to have gorgeous skin sounds "too good to be true". Nope. It's true, using a simple egg can give you beautiful skin!




One egg is all you need!

Here's a personal story: So this last week, I had puffy skin right under my eyes (not puffy eyes) though. And so, I used many things...but none of them worked. The puffy and noticeably red would just come back.

And so, I was using different masks, and then I pondered over this egg mask facial in a website.

I used this, just once, and for the whole day, my skin was normal --- no puffiness or redness!

I was amazed by it's effectiveness, and couldn't believe that one egg could do this much wonders.



What is it famous for?

This DIY facial mask is super effective for puffiness (helps tighten the skin) and maybe even some wrinkles.


How should I prepare it?

Just crack one egg, and some say to separate the yolk and the whites, but I just combined them together. But you can definitely separate them if you'd like.

Why does this work?

The whites help tighten the skin (great for puffiness), they also exfoliate gently. The yolk helps moisturize and soothe the skin. The whites are also great for wrinkles or fine lines to help tighten the skin again.

How long should I leave it?

About 15-30 minutes

How much should I apply the mask?

People say that you shouldn't do it more than once a week. But since I'm still fighting my puffy skin under my eye, I do it daily, to ensure that my skin will be normal for the rest of the day.

However, if your just thinking about applying this mask...and your skin is fine, (no puffiness) then I suggest you do this only once a week.

Will it irrate my skin?

I have the most sensitive skin on Earth probably (my skin gets puffy even for a little wind), and it didn't irrate my skin at all.

However, everyone has different skin, so if you did notice some blemishes, acne, puffiness, or things like that, be sure to cleanse well right after, by your favorite cleanser, and proceed to your normal facial routine.


If you do decide to separate the whites and the yolk, then use the whites for a facial mask, and then moisturize afterwards with the yolk. The whites and yolk are almost completely different. The whites help tighten your skin, but leave your skin very dry; but the yolk is gentle and helps tremendously moisturize and hydrate the skin.
Even after the yolk, be sure to moisturize immensely with your favorite moisturizer.



I hope this helps your skin! And hopefully this will give you that "ME TIME" as well! (btw, the egg mask won't be dark green, like in the picture above haha)



Get some candles out, some soothing music, get in your bathtub, put a facial mask on....and relax. There's your perfect Spa...at home

So let's do the same for our hair!

This is a DIY HAIR MASK, right at home...right in your kitchen!

The secret ingredients to gorgeous hair!?

Olive oil really truly is wonderful for your hair. It nourishes your hair, and if your hair is dry, you will have amazing hair! Even if you have really oily hair, olive oil will still do good for your hair, because it adds in nourishing and rejuvenatory powers!

And honey is good because it has antixodiants to help keep your hair healthy and strong!


-Make a paste of these ingredients

-Apply it all over, root to ends, on your DRY hair

-Pull your hair into a ponytail, or if you have short hair, then just leave it like that

-Put a beanie over your head

-Go to sleep

-And in the morning, take it off and SHAMPOO your hair THOROUGHLY !!!
(if you don't shampoo it...your hair will look wet and oily all day! ...trust me I know!)

-And continue with your normal styling/washing routine


Do this once every month to give your hair natural goodness!

DIY: Make your own lip color

I love trying out different lip colors! I think it's safe to say that every girl has experimented with different lip colors.
And I hate it when you REALLY want to try out a lip color, and you pretty much spend all your allowance on it, and BAM! You discover the color just. doesn't. work. for you.
And I hate that feeling!




Personally, I hate returning makeup, or anything that I have put on my face or things. I know you can return them, but I just never bother to. So I'm stuck with the thing.

Well, my friend came over last Saturday for a sleepover and some scary movies, and we did makeup and all that crazy jazz. Well, we were experimenting, when we found out that we could make our own LIP COLOR!!

What you'll need:

-Vaseline/ Petroleum Jelly
-Plastic Spoon
-Dish/something to mix it on
-super small container (I used a VICKS container to store it in)
-Some kind of pigment ...eyeshadow, other lip sticks...anything (will explain below)

Pigment: Since we need to make the lip color, you need to take out some pigment you have. Eyeshadow, other lip sticks that you haven't ever used, ..anything. However, if you use eyeshadow, which usually come in varieties you have a more..diverse selection to choose from.
And if you have a super dark lipstick or something, you can lighten it this way to make it the color you like.

So, we used some old eyeshadow (make sure it's not expired)

-Squirt some of the petroleum jelly out, about a nickel size

-Mix in the pigment to the point where you like the color, you can mix with a brush, your fingers, or spoon

-Take your spoon and scoop it all up and store it in the container

<<>

And WALA! Your done! You can create nude colors, pink, peach, red...w/e you like!


Here's a little chart so maybe you get an idea of what color you wanna experiment:



I hope that you guys have fun!
Byebye! Hope you guys are having a safe and wonderful fall break!
