EASY, PEASY LIP POLISH 





Simple Sugared Grapefruit Lip Scrub
  • Combine 6 drops of fresh grapefruit juice with 1 tbsp. white sugar. Blend well.
  • Apply the grapefruit lip scrub to your lips and leave it for about 5 minutes.
  • Massage the grapefruit lip scrub gently into your lips, and rinse it off with warm water.
  • Allow your lips to dry, and apply moisturizer or lip balm.



Peppermint & Honey Lip Scrub

Ingredients:

sugar
honey
water
1 drop peppermint oil

  • Mix together one quarter cup sugar, peppermint oil, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add a little water, enough to make a paste.
  • Hold a warm, wet washcloth over lips for a few minutes, to soften dead skin. Rub a small amount of the scrub over lips using gentle, circular motions. Rub for about a minute, but not long enough to irritate.
  • Rinse off the scrub with the warm, wet washcloth.
  • Follow with your favorite chap stick.


Note*  Only use once-twice per week.  Over exfoliating can cause damage to sensitive skin cells ;)

PRETTY AS A PICTURE

One item that's been on my "wish list" for a while is Too Faced's Sweet Dreams Palette. Firstly because of the products inside, secondly because of the fabulous packaging.
