DO IT YOURSELF - EASTER EGGS! Get to dye-in’!

Stop and smell the rose (water)
“To save some money, make your own rose-water toner, which has great astringent properties. Here’s my recipe: For every one firmly packed cup of rose petals, pour two cups of boiling water over the top. Cover and steep until the liquid is cool. Strain, squeeze out the liquid from the petals and refrigerate the rose water in a sterilized jar between use.” Lianne Farbes,TheMakeUpGirl, via glamour.com

I know this isn’t beauty related but its super cool!  Mix Elmer’s glue with food coloring to paint onto anything glass to create a seaglass effect when dry.

I love this as an idea to hold my makeup brushes!

It’s very funny The Beauty Department post this today because I dropped my compact this morning and broke it!  So frustrating when that happens.

It’s official: chapped lips season is upon us. I’ve been slathering my lips with Rosebud lip balm for the past few days, but it is not enough. So I decided to DIY a lip scrub today.

Recipe: Equal parts brown sugar, honey and olive oil (I actually used coconut oil because it’s less sticky and tastes better)

Scrub-a-dub-dub for about 30 seconds and rinse off. Use leftover scrub on your hands. Follow up with the moisturizer of your choice and Ta-da! You’re super soft once again!
