Blogmas day 3! DIY Sugar Scrub Bars

Happy day 3 of Blogmas!


Yay I have finally caught up with my blogmas posts!

This year I decided I wanted to make a lot of christmas presents myself, not only to save money but also to add that touch of personalisation and love into my gift giving. So I thought as it is Blogmas I would share some of my gift ideas with you guys!

These sugar scrub bars can be made your own by using different scents, colours and moulds! You can gift wrap them and make them part of hampers, or even as little stocking stuffers, plus They are super easy to make!

What you will need







35g Coconut Oil
65g Melt and Pour Soap
125g Sugar
3-4 drops essential oil
Silicone Mould
Soap Colourant
Microwave safe bowl/jug
Something to stir with

Step 1


 Dice up your soap and put it into your microwaveable jug then melt your coconut oil in the microwave in 10 second bursts.
Then you can either melt your soap in a double boiler or the microwave, I personally use the microwave method as it's quicker. 

Step 2

Add your coconut oil into the now melted soap, then your colourant until you get the colour you desire. Once this is mixed add your essential oil and finally your sugar. 
Once this is all mixed up it should look something like this.


Now you can pour it into the moulds and leave them to set! If your mixture gets too hard whilst you are working with it just blast it for 10 seconds in the microwave and it should soften up enough to pour it into your moulds.

Voila! Your own homemade sugar scrubs!



These make the perfect little gifts for family and friends. and They only cost are £12 to make a whole batch of 8 large scrub bars!

I will be doing some more of these little DIY posts over the next few weeks so if there is anything you really want to see please give me a shout!

Lots of love

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!

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.
