Hey lovely readers!
I got a sudden wave of inspiration and I surfed it like a pro. I got inspired by the oh-so-irresistible brand of home-made cosmetics, LUSH. Now we sadly don't have LUSH here in Bahrain -although I must admit the country's importing variety is quiet good!- but I'm quiet familiar with the brand thanks to endless raves about it's products on YouTube and Tumblr and today I took a particular interest in it's Lip Scrubs. Now the only form of exfoliation I offer my lips is the classic wet lip brush swirl, and then it occurred to me! Why don't I attempt making my own lip scrub, and attempt to make my own lip scrub I did. And it was a success!
For example the Bubblegum scrub (by LUSH) consists of Castor sugar (sucrose), organic Jojoba Oil, (some long substance), flavor, and coloring. I did some research and found that most lip scrubs(including LUSH's) consist of the same things just with different twists.
Here's what I used in the making of my lip scrubs: Mermaid Snot (dark turquoise) and Mango Transo (Orange-ish yellow) I followed the same steps in the making of both of them just changed the food coloring that I added to each one..
- You will need: -Various colors of food coloring. -Brown or Castor sugar. -a bowl. -spoons (2+) -Vanilla or preferred flavor's extract. -containers (quantity depending on how many batches you make) - Oil (preferably Jojoba but I used Carolina)
- First step: Add to the bowl 3 table spoons of sugar.
- Second step: Add around 2 teaspoons or one lid( if small) of oil and 3 drops of your extract. Do add to your convenience.
You can make all sorts of various color/flavor combos! I used blue tasteless color and yellow mango color!
There you have it guys, how to make your own lip scrub! Who needs LUSH? Not me psshht.
3 more exams and summer officially begins! Stay pretty x
