My At Home Skincare Recipes #2 Exfoliation

I probably should have posted other recipes that I use on my last blog post, due to the emails I have received, and also because Winter hates my skin...lol. Also, making a small batch of a scrub for a friend for Christmas is frugal AND awesome! (Who doesn't love getting bath stuffs for Christmas?) I may even make a tutorial or two and upload them to youtube sometime soon. Here is a recipe that I use once a week for extra exfoliation during Winter. YOU WILL NEED: 2 tablespoons finely ground oatmeal, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1/3 cup almond oil, 1 teaspoon honey. You will need to combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Apply this mixture to your face using your fingers or a brush. Rub gently in small circular movements all around your face. After doing this for about 1-2 minutes, let the mixture sit on your face for about 3 more minutes, and then rinse off and gently pat your face dry. You can even use this on your lips as well, jus...

Starry Blue Look Featuring Elf's NYC Baked Eyeshadow Palette

These baked palettes are my new FAVE makeup item. So, I decided to play around with the NYC palette and I came up with this tutorial for you all. I hope that you enjoy it! Alright, Step 1: Prime your eyelids. :) This holds the color fast, and makes it more true to color. Step 2: Take an eyeshadow brush and pick up some product from the dark Blue shade. Step 3: Dab the product all over your lid and on the fold of your eyelid. This doesn't have to be perfect, we will be blending soon. :) Step 4: Dab your eyeshadow brush in the silver color that is directly above the blue shade in the palette. Make sure you get a decent amount of product on your brush. Step 5: Now take the brush, and dab the silver color all over the inner part of your eyelid. You will be applying this directly over the blue color, and it's supposed to be that way. ONLY go halfway across the eyelid. Half will be silver-blue, the other half (Outer half of eyelid) will be blue. Step 6: Using a cre...
