DIY ~ Lip Scrub!

DIY Wednesday ~ Lip Scrub!

 

Hey everyonee!

 

Recently I have been experimenting with different posts, rather than sticking to the normal, as I find it can sometimes be quite un-interesting. I have drafted so many posts and deleted them & this has been the finished result haha!

 

Anyhow, I thought it would be quite 'interesting' if I did like a mini DIY post every week! I can put my hand on my heart and say I can't guarantee I will religiously post a DIY every week but I can promise I will try my best!

 

I thought, as it's my first post that I'd start with my favourite (why not?) hehe! So without further a do... (credit to @tutorialsrandom for the photo too!)

 

Now, I don't know about you but Lush is literally one of my favourite shops of all time! They're products are so gorgeous and you literally can't go wrong! One of my favourite products is the 'Bubble Gum Lip Scrub'! It smells incredible & really softens and nourishes my lips!

 

Although it is my favourite product, I think £5.50 is a bit overpriced for the amount you get however I know in reality it isn't a lot of money at all. Needless to say I have found this amazing recipe that actually works to create a Lip Scrub just as good!

 

I know you can never EVER beat the Lush one but this is as good as it gets.....

 

 

 WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

•  1 Tablespoon of  Brown or Caster Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon of Honey  ( or golden syrup)
• 1/2 Teaspoon of Oil (any oil)
• Flavouring
• Bowl
• Small Closed Container

 

 

 Step One

Pour the sugar into your bowl and add the oil. Don't mix it yet, and then dribble the honey or golden syrup on top! Be sure to dribble and not to pour the honey, because pouring a lot will make it sticky; only a bit of honey will work and then, mix it together!

Step Two
 Stir away, however stop stirring when its chunky N O T smooth! If it is smooth than it won't be a lip scrub!

 

Step Three

 This step is optional, however you can then add a food colouring of your choice, I have chosen pink, however it's entirely up to you. Then mix it together.

Step Four

Again, this step is optional, however you can now add flavouring to your lip scrub. I have opted for a vanilla, however it's again entirely up to you! Once you have done this, your lip scrub is complete. You can then place it in a small container or somewhere to keep it safe.

 

So there you go guys. That was my first ever DIY post, but let me know if you would like to see more! I really hope you can try this, and if you do be sure to let me know!

Question & Answer Post

Hey everyonee!

Today I'm going to be doing a Q&A post as I am working on a big haul for you all and it has taken a lot longer than I expected! I bought a lot of stuff haha!

I apologise in advance for not including any photography in this post however I hope my haul will compensate for it.
Without further a do...


Question 1
Who is your favourite Youtuber?

Answer - This question was extremely hard for as I have a little (quite big actually) group of them! However like most people it has to be Zoella. She is perfect! I absolutely adore her and I really do wish I could be her! She was really the one who inspired me to write a blog and from watching her videos was the reason I became addicted to beauty products & fashion.


Question 2
Who is your inspiration?

Answer - As I already mentioned however didn't want to go into too much detail in the previous question Zoella (aka Zoe Sugg) is my inspiration; along with a lot of people. She has inspired me to have a different view on life. Although I don't know her personally I feel like she has given me a lot of support as some of you know I suffered an extremely bad time in my life a few years ago and I literally feel she has helped me turn my life around (along with my amazing friends and family of course)! Anyway needless to say Zoe is my inspiration, along with my amazing Nana.


Question 3
Why did you start to write a blog?

Answer - Again I think I keep repeating myself however after beginning to watch the Youtubers blogs it really inspired me. I then saw a lot of people's blogs on instagram and figured ' if they can do it, I can do it.' However I was extremely nervous to begin. For months my mind flooded with with doubts and then one of my best friends Kiera started one. I then made it my New Years Resolution to create one. 'New year, New start' I thought to myself and within a couple of days I set one up! I can't believe how successful it was and I absolutely adore writing it! I love sharing all my favourite things with everyone and even better... people say they enjoy reading it! Haha!

 Question 4
Will you ever create a Youtube account?

Answer - I would absolutely love to start Youtube. It would be my dream however there are a number of reasons why I wouldn't start yet...
1. I majorly lack self - confidence and I really don't think I have the courage and confidence to start yet. I worry that people will judge me etc.#
2. I'm in the middle of my school life and I feel I will be putting to much pressure on myself and lack focus in my school work.

Hopefully one day, possibly when I finish school or something I will buy the correct equipment and begin Youtube however I think it is still a dream....

Question
What is your favourite shop?

Answer - I don't if you have figured but I LOVE shopping! I go shopping every weekend with my friends (some would say I'm too addicted haha!) Therefore it is extremely hard to decide however it has to be Topshop. I absolutely love it! I figured I'd choose this as my favourite is because it also has a really good make-up range ; 2-in-1. Yes it is slightly pricier however the quality of the clothes are amazing and I can keep them for a few years before getting rid off them! There clothe ranges are always stunning as well!

Question 6
What was your favourite children's programme?

Answer - Before I begin, I would to say that I really miss the old Disney! I miss all of it! That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, The Suit Life of Zack & Cody etc. I have literally come to the conclusion that it was too hard to decide! Sorry!

Question 7
What do you want to be when your older?

Answer - I'm quite an indecisive person and find it very hard to make decisions; I constantly change my mind and I'm never happy with my self and I think that's part of the reason I'm quite insecure and lack self confidence however I think I have finally found my dream...
I was to become a fashion journalist! I literally have dreams about having my own column in Vogue, or Company magazine! Whenever I picture myself doing this it always inspires me to try hard with my school work. 'If you want to do well in life you have to try hard' is what I keep telling myself. So yeah... hehe!

Question 8
What is your favourite food?

Answer - My friends will know I am the most pickiest eater ever! Food (as in proper meals) are not something I enjoy! However I love snacking haha! Which isn't very good! My friends & I have a huge (kind of obsessive) addiction with these sweets called 'Fritt'. As you know I'm quite bad at describing however they kind of taste like Chewitts? I don't know if anyone has ever had them before? Anyhow yeah I really love those!
Another random is more of an actual food haha! It's smoked salmon. I absolutely love this stuff! I have it will cream cheese and pasta & rivita crackers and cream cheese. I think it's a really great snack and is very healthy for you!
Also as you all know I love Nutella!

 Question 9
What is your favourite beauty product?

Answer - I'm not really sure what is meant by this question but I'm assuming it means like what category? Therefore for me it would be mascara. I think your whole makeup looks incomplete without adding mascara and I also thinks it really brightens your eyes! I find it so frustrating that my eyelashes are so light! It means I can't wear a lot of mascara to school without it looking so obvious & being told to take it off :( My favourite mascaras are 'They're Real' by Benefit and 'Rocket Volum Express' from Maybeline. These two mascaras really extend your lashes without making it all clumpy! I would highly recommend them!

 

So guys,  that's all for my Q&A post; again I apologise it is quite simple however I'm still working on my haul as its super long! I really hope it should be up by the weekend!

 

Hope you enjoyed
