Making Lip Balm!!

Hi Guys!!! 

I am sorry I have been absent for so long, the new year has been sooooo busy I haven't had chance to get out and about much or write a new blog :(

I am sure you have seen this tutorial alllll over YouTube, but I thought I would give it a go as it looked really fun and tons cheaper than buying loads of different lipbalms! 


What you need:


Vaseline, Crayola Crayons, a heat proof bowl (I used a bigger one than this in the end) and a pot to put your new lipbalm in! I bought mine as part of a travel set of empty pots from Poundland, for this one I  just put the new lipbalm back in the Vaseline tin, but for others I have made from a big pot of Vaseline I have used the little pots. 

How you do it.


First you need to choose the colour you want your lip balm to be. For this I used the colour red but you can use any colour or even mix different coloured crayons to make your own colour :) you need to completely strip the crayon of all it's wrapper and snap it into sections.



Then empty out the tin of Vaseline into a heat proof bowl (note the bowl change lol), if you are using Vaseline from a tub a large teaspoon full is usually enough, and melt it over a pan of boiling water.

Next add the crayons and melt it all together, when it is all melted together transfer it to your pot of choice :) Put the pot in the fridge for about 20 mins and you are good to go!

Voila, your own lip balm! 


I have found using this method I end up with a tinted lipbalm rather than a strong lipstick-esque colour, however I have seen on tutorials if you use coconut oil rather than Vaseline you get that effect, so I shall give that one a go in the near future! 

Thanks for reading guys, if there are any products you would like me to review or tutorials you would like to see just send me a message <3

Blogmas day 4! My Beauty Christmas List

Image
Blogmas Day 4! Hey lovelies!! I thought I would do something properly related to Christmas today, My Christmas wish list!  I am keeping it to 5 items (Don't want to appear too greedy, there is still time to get onto Santa's naughty list 😂), and all these are beauty items I have been lusting after for a good portion of 2017! I'm not going to lie it was really hard narrowing it down to just 5 items, as I am a habitual stalker of Beauty Bay and regularly find something new I most definitely NEED in my life ;) Here it is... Jordan's most NEEDED (not want, need!) Christmas wish list items! Jeffree Star Androgyny Palette - £40 Beauty Bay               This palette just speaks to me on so many levels! I love warm neutral eye looks, deep reds and oranges with little pops of colour, and this palette delivers just that! Jeffree Star shadows are always beautiful to work with and I have coveted this palette since it came out this year. I have se

Kuckian Cosmetics Pigment Review!

Image
Hey Lovelies!!!  Happy New Years guys! I hope you all had a wonderful christmas and a fantastic New Years!! I sadly had to admit defeat on blogmas, I didn't adhere to the 5 P's (Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor results) and it got wayyyy too much with all the christmas festivities! I am back now though with a review of some pretty controversial products! John Kuckian has a drama channel on Youtube, and in November he brought out a line of cosmetics. He has always been fairly controversial with his videos, and he has always been known for causing drama within the beauty community, so when his product line launched it was hit with controversy of its own!  I bought the pigment set when it first launched, however whilst I was waiting for them to be delivered I started seeing all the videos surrounding him and his line, and I really wish I hadn't supported him with my money! If you type in his name in YouTube you will see video upon video on him so if you are

Blogmas Day 6 - My Microneedling Experience

Image
Blogmas Day 6 Finally Caught up phew! So I thought I would do today's blog on my recent experience of Microneedling. When I told my friends and family I was going to get it done the overwhelming questions I kept getting where "what is it", "why are you doing that", and "is it going to hurt". As so many people asked the same thing, I thought I would do a quick blog about it to try and answer some of those questions! Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. A pen-like device with multiple fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which causes the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness of the skin, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Microneedling may also be combined with serums, because when your treatment is done it leaves the puncture holes open and can help serums be absorbed deeper into the skin.
