My DIY sugar and lemon scrub

I've included pictures of what I used, and what it looks like, to make it a little easier.
I start with sugar and lemon juice, brands aren't important, just giving a demonstration.
I put a pile of sugar, maybe 3 tablespoons, in a bowl, then splash in lemon juice, mixing as soon as you can see the sugar turning yellow. It'll be runny at first, but don't worry.
Keep mixing until you can lift it with your finger with minimal dripping. Using your fingers, scrub your face gently, then allow to sit for a minute before removing with a wet wash cloth.
It's amazing, especially for acne prone skin, and tastes and smells great. I also rub a little on my lips, very gently. I wouldn't do this more than once a week, but it's so awesome you will want to do it more.

Enjoy!

Peacock inspired look

I had this all filmed, edited, and uploading, and then it ended up deleted somehow, so here's a slightly different tutorial video for you, I hope you still enjoy!


2 1/2 month hair growth update

It's been 2 1/2 months since the big cut, so here's the first update. I think it's growing faster this time around, and I imagine the vitamins are helping, but ask your doctor before making the switch, as too many vitamins can cause serious issues.

Kiss Nail Dress review/rant

I didn't like them from Sally Hansen, and sadly Kiss was unable to change that opinion. Here's why.

Fairy Halloween look

Another guide-line video for Halloween


Super fast school/work makeup

This makeup is light enough to be worn in any environment where makeup may be frowned upon, but leaves your face feeling done.

Vacation is almost over

That means tomorrow will be a new video! It's going to be a guide on fairy-type face art, for Halloween or even Renn Faire. Simple, flowing lines from eyes to hair, and the effect is pretty neat.

First Halloween costume idea video!

This is just a guideline, I know it isn't perfect, but it was still super fun to do! I am going to spend the next few weeks coming up with more ideas, so stay tuned. I will make a special playlist for these videos, to make them a bit easier to find. In the meantime, here's the video.

I did have to edit this out, so I will put it here: The only product that isn't shown in the video is what I used for foundation. I had a Revlon Color Stay for Combination/Oily skin in 110/Ivory. This was already a few shades lighter than my skin tone, but I decided to mix in a squirt or two of my daily moisturizer, then blended together and applied all over my face, including my eyelids.

Sadly I still don't have the software to edit the videos from my phone, so when my phone cut out, I had no choice but to separate the footage. I hope you enjoy either way.
