DIY Sugar lip scrub pictorial

Here is a great gift idea.  

Sweet thought and inexpensive!

Found these at Ikea 4 jars for $3.99

Coconut oil is infused with many vitamins, also used a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and honey for taste.

Food coloring to get them festive! I chose red ;)

The baby tooth brushes are to make sure they are soft enough to help scrub your lips with the sugar and not hurt them. 

I added a red ribbon and wallah!

Let me know if you ladies try this?

Living Lavish

Did you ladies get a chance to get this palette? 

Reason I decided to get it was mainly since the tweezers alone are $28.00 and the gift set was $38.00

Not Bad deal eh?

The eye shadows are fairly pigmented.  My favorite color is "soda pop" and "sienna".   There is a neutral tan/brown missing on here. 

 The dual side brush is nice for when traveling and missing a fluffy brush.  

The eye liner I am not a fab of as it smudges, so I have to run carbon by Mac over it to keep it from running.  

Hope this helps if you were debating on purchasing this set or not.

Holiday giveaway!!! Xox

Christmas swap with MissClearance

The X formula

Hi lovies, 

Sharing some holiday gift ideas this season. 

Here's the FIRST one.  

This is the latest hype in the nail polish community.  The lasting power is about two weeks! 

If you get a gel manicure at a salon it will normally cost you $35.00 + tip and you are forced to return to get the gel polish removed.  This formula is easy and safe to use at home.  

$32.00 USD for an at home manicure kit, and  best of all you get to choose the color you like!! 

Of course this is great for someone like myself who loves glitz, but they also have neutrals, brights and a huge variety of colors available for all.  Aside from that each individual nail Polish is $10.50 which is $2.00 more than OPI/Essie, and $8.50 less than Debra Lipman/Butter London.  

I chose the starter kit although I wanted to try more colors.  The set of 25 retails for $55 USD, and with all the polishes I own, I knew starting with one would work best. Although, if you choose to purchase one of the kits you can split them up into stocking stuffers for your favorite fashionistas but do not forget to keep some for yourself! ;) 

Hope you enjoyed this first holiday gift idea!

NARS LARGER THAN LIFE EYE KHOL(Picked up the wrong one will exchange for the right one in Rue Bonaparte which is a light almond color for the the bottom lid) Opens up the eyes when completing a smokey eye look, have it in their darkest black and it will definitely be repurchased since it does not transfer and stays put for over 8+ hrs.
