Mini make up haul

I have recently gone onto some shops and bought 2 make up products.
Both of them I think are amazing and I've been loving them.

So first was the Collection Eyes uncovered eye shadow pallet in Nude Rose.

This was quite cheap £8 and its really good quality

The other thing I purchased was the Urban Decay Naked Illuminated shimmering powder for face and body.

Naked Illuminated is an illuminating powder with a delicate, alluring shimmer. The universal champagne shade comes with an exclusive dusting brush for your glowing pleasure.

This was £22.

It has a REALLY pretty packaging.

I just think the mirror isn't as good as I thought it would be.

I honestly have been loving these and definitely recommend you to buy them.

Spring/Summer 2016 hair trends

According to Cosmopolitan magazine these are the 2016 spring/summer hair trends.

Louis Vuitton achieved with an exaggerated lash look and mini plaits.

Out of the pool hair was what Kenso chose. To do this you apply the Bumble and bumble hair gel and braiding sections and taking them out to reveal the wet look waves.

Miu miu again with the pig tails and the ornate head pieces.

Braiding was back at Celine in a form of polished ponytail.

Chloe was all about the natural texture.

Kendall Jenner modelled for Balmain which used high ponytails and Balmain hair extensions.

Dolce & Gabbana decided to use messy updos adorned by headscarves, headbands and opulent crows.  

Public school went for a rope braid or power braid in the New York show.

These aren't all but you can always check all of them at Cosmopolitan .

How to have a spa day at home

If you haven't checked the last post which DIY spa treats make sure you do, because this post is how to have a spa day at home using some of the DIY from before.

Gather all your stuff together (bath bombs, face masks, candles, lotions...).
Plan some healthy meals/snacks for you to have throughout the day.
Get some exercise during the day. Go for a walk/run around the neighbourhood
Give yourself a spa treatment. Have a hot bath, use face masks, scrubs, light some candles.
Listen to relaxing music.
Get a massage done by your boyfriend, husband or call someone to do it.


** TRICKS **

• Before going for a bath/shower put your body lotion on top of a radiator or heating vent so its warmed up when you rub it on.
• Deep-condition your hair with coconut oil.
• Light some candles around your bath, put some music on and close the lights.

I hope you guys liked this and you can always make the treats and give it as a present to someone else.

DIY spa treats

Hey guys it's already April and in some parts of the world its almost summer holidays. Since that is coming up I decided to show you guys how to make somethings to treat yourself during holiday. And the next post will be Spa day at home using these treats.
Of course you can always go to shops like Lush, Bath and Body Works... and buy these but at the same time you can make them in your house. In here you will find how to make: lip scrubs, bath bombs, face masks and soap pops.

DIY LIP SCRUBS (cotton candy flavoured)

What you will need:                                                        

• 2 drops of blue food colouring
• 2 drops of pink food colouring
• 6 ops Cotton candy flavouring divided            
• 5 tbsp of sugar 
•     sugar                                       
• 2  1/2 tsp Olive oil

Method:

  Blue scrub- In a small bowl mix 2 tablespoons sugar with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add 3 drops cotton candy flavouring and 2 drops blue food colouring. Set aside.

  Pink scrub- Repeat the exact same process but adding 2 drops of pink food colouring instead of blue.

 White scrub- In a small bowl mix 1 tablespoon sugar with ½ teaspoon olive oil. Set aside.

Adding all scrubs together-

In a separate bowl add the blue sugar to one side of the bowl and the pink to the other pour the white sugar into the middle of the bowl and swirl the colours together with a knife.

DIY FIZZY CUPCAKE BATH BOMBS

What you will need:

Cake ingredients:

• 226g baking soda
• 110g citric acid
• 100g corn starch              
• 100g Epsom Salts
• 2 ½ tablespoons coconut oil
• ¾ teaspoon water
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 drops food colouring

Frosting ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons meringue powder
• 6 tablespoons warm water
• 400g powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method:

• In a separate very small bowl, combine the coconut oil, water, vanilla extract and food colouring. Oil and water don’t mix very well, so don’t worry if they aren’t 100% combined.

• Add one teaspoon of the wet ingredients to the dry at a time. You’ll have to work really quickly, and mix it around with your hands. Pinch at the little bits of stuck together pieces to get them to come apart.

• If your mixture is bubbling up, you’re adding the wet to the dry too fast. When this happens, just be sure to mix the wet pieces to the non-reactive dry really fast and it should stop. At the end, your mixture should feel a lot like slightly wet sand. It will stick together, but it’s going to be crumbly.

• Mould the fizzy bath bombs immediately after you’re done mixing—this doesn’t keep!

• Bath bombs can take pretty much any shape you want. If you want to make cupcakes out of these, line each cup in a muffin pan with plastic wrap. Hard pack the bath bomb mix into each of the cups. I mean, really pack that stuff in there, pushing it down as hard as you can. With this recipe, you only have to let them sit for about 10 minutes before you unmold them and let them dry for a few hours.

• In your mixing bowl, blend together the meringue powder and warm water until it’s frothy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla.

• Beat on high until stiff peaks form. If the frosting is too stiff, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it’s a consistency you can pipe while still standing on its own. I liked adding a few sprinkles on top to make them pretty.

• Let the frosting dry for a few hours before you attempt to wrap them up.

DIY COFFEE FACE MASK:

Coffee and honey: 

Add a tablespoon of coffee powder and a tablespoon of honey to a bowl. Mix the ingredients well.

Coffee and lemon:

Take a tablespoon of coffee powder and mix it with lemon juice extract.

NEAPOLITAN SOAP POPS:

What you will need:

• 470ml (2-cup) microwave-safe glass Measuring Cup
• Soap Base
• Soap Pigment
• Non bleeding liquid red Soap Colour
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) strawberry Fragrance Oil
• 2.5ml (½ teaspoon) chocolate Fragrance Oil
• Eight plastic freezer pop Ice Lolly Moulds 85g (3oz) capacity
• Rubbing Alcohol in spray bottle
• Eight wooden Craft Stick
• Soap Thermometer
• Small Saucepan

Method:

• 
  In the microwave-safe glass measuring cup, melt 255g (9oz) of white soap base. Add  the red colorant one drop at a time, stirring with a craft stick each time until you get a pink colour. Add the strawberry fragrance oil and stir well. Fill eight pop moulds each one third full and allow to set to room temperature. Liberally spray the hot soap with rubbing alcohol after pouring each layer into the moulds to remove all the bubbles. If any remain, they will be visible on the finished soaps.

• Melt 255g (9oz) of white soap base. Allow the soap to cool to 49ºC (120ºF). Spray the pink soap in the moulds with rubbing alcohol. Pour white soap in until each mould is two-thirds full. Spray with rubbing alcohol and allow the soaps to set to room temperature.

• Melt 255g (9oz) of clear soap base and add the brown pigment (as you did with the red colorant) for a chocolate colour. Add the chocolate fragrance oil. Spray the white soap in each mould with rubbing alcohol. Pour the brown soap into each mould, to within 3mm (1/8in) of the top edge. Spray the tops of the soaps with rubbing alcohol.

• Insert the sticks through the melted brown soap into the firmer white soap, leaving about 5cm (2in) sticking out. To make sure sticks are centred, put them in at eye level and check the positions from the side too. Put the moulds in the freezer for half an hour.

• Remove from the freezer and separate the individual soap moulds. To unmould the soaps, put about four cups of boiling water in a small saucepan. While holding on to the sticks, dunk each mould into the water for four seconds or so. Remove from the water and pull on the stick to remove the soap.
