DYI Natural Facial Scrub

Honey Lemon Facial Scrub

Hi my lovely reader well today I will be showing you how to make a facial scrub.
I have combination skin but this lovely weather is not being nice to me so my face getting flaky and very dry, after trying a lot of products i decided to go the natural route.I found this awesome recipe online this is what i use not saying is the best but it works for me leave my skin soft and very clean without drying it.

This is an awesome face scrub at very low cost with things you might have already at your kitchen.

 Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 ½ tablespoons of sugar

Mix the ingredients in a small bowl. Apply the mixture to your face (careful not to get it in your eyes), neck and chest using a gentle, circular motions. After massaging the honey and lemon scrub into your skin for 60 seconds, rinse it off with warm water and blot your face dry with a clean towel. Follow the honey and lemon facial scrub with your favorite moisturizer.
The natural honey-lemon facial scrub can be used on other areas of the body such as the hands, feet, elbows and knees. The ingredients contained in the facial scrub are all natural, so there's no need to worry about harsh chemical additives.


-Honey is a natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture.
-Olive oil provides moisturizing benefits to dry skin.

 
-Sugar removes dead skin cells to reveal fresh, polished skin.

-Lemon juice acts as a natural toner and bleaching agent to help lighten dark spots on the skin.


I don't recommend storing this scrub is only made for single applications,
youu can always use left over to scrub other body parts while taking a shower.

Any way guys let me know if you guys try it what you think or if you guys make any other beauty products at home????

ELF 100 Eyeshadow Palette Review +Look

E.L.F. Studio Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadow Palette

I purchased this palette a couple months ago haven't had the chance to try it but i finally did yey me!..haha, so here is my review i know there must be like a million reviews on this already and since i got it late here goes another.

Price:$10.00 in my opinion very good price for the amount of eye shadows you get

Packaging:Black Case see through so you can see all the shadows the name ELF is on top.I like the fact it has a clear top so you can see the color variations.Also has a mirror on the inside(pictures below)and two sponge tip applicator i personally don't use this but they are good sometimes depends on the person.

Product:The palette is a combination of shimmery and matte eye shadows some richer and creamier than other. Good things about the palette is having two different type of shadows since usually when you buy a palette is either matte or shimmer.The Shimmery colors are awesome so pigmented and creamy look great.The matte are very chalky and not pigmented enough easily fade away once you start blending,I found myself dipping the brush a lot of times while applying them, but you can always use a primer or wetting your brush actually made a difference.(picture below). The dark shadows like the black aren't very pigmented so i would recommend you using a different brand black.The availability isn't that good you can only get it online at eyeslipsface.com or at target on holiday season. This is a limited edition palette so if you like it go ahead and rush to target or (do not go too fast though no need for accident). I remember seeing them a couple days ago might be some left.Overall is a good palette not my favorite. The matte ones are way to chalky but their also some great shimmery and metallic that i love for somebody that is used to Urban Decay and Mac or some similar i wouldn't recommend this to.
