Easy Coffee Lip Scrub | DIY Recipe

Easy Coffee Lip Scrub | DIY Recipe

Hey guys I just want to share this quick and super easy beauty D.I.Y to you. So yeah lately, my lips have been reacting weird to the weather and so yeah it's like loosing it's glow and stuff. LOL. But yeah my mom and cousin would constantly notice that my lips are always pale and yeah. 


So basically you'll need coffee, sugar, and honey. Three ingredients that would help you achieve a better looking lips. Or like softer lips whatever.


If you don't know already, coffee is an anti-oxidant that might help get rid off the toxins and some other bad stuff. You know! :) honey is a moisturizer that will help your lips come back to its glory after the sugar do the job of exfoliating the dead skin on the lips. Well that's about all you need, right?


There's really no proper way of making this scrub. Just mix all the ingredients and you're good to go! Pretty much. Anyways.


The way I did it is that I added more sugar after mixing all the ingredients just to make sure that there's gonna be a more gritty texture and like the milder texture so yeah. You don't want to add in too much honey because that's gonna ruin the mixture pretty much. Honey here serves as the base as well so you just want to have enough for the coffee and the sugar to have something to stick to. 


So that's it guys! I hope you find this post helpful and if you have recipes to share, please let me know! So yeah, until then. See yah! :)

Nivea Soft Rose. Review.

July 20, 2012 2
Nivea Soft Rose. Review.
First things first, I kind of liked the idea that Nivea uses natural products (mostly). It makes me feel like I'm one with nature and all that stuff. I don't know why but I feel like using natural products is actually better than using all that chemicals and stuff. Well, not most of the time though. There are still synthetic products that works best. At this point, don't get confused. IT'S JUST ME.


I actually saw this product right before I bought the pomegranate one and I just thought that I did well that time. Like, for reals.


The packaging is quite classy.,Very simple.

I actually don't like this ROSEY thingy that much. I don't know why though. But it leaves a thin film of I don't know what that is and it doesn't feel right most of the time. Also, although not that shimmery, it feels a little dry and it does not make me think that it's actually moisturizing my lips like it claims too. It's actually very hard to apply too. Like, it's probably close to the feeling of rubbing some rose petals on your lips. Nah, just kidding. It just feels so wrong. It also has this strange scent that is comparable to play-doh which I don't like.


Excuse the mermaid thingy though.

Since it's color is not that pigmented, I actually tried to match it with my go-to lipstick but it just made my lips chapped which didn't happen to my previous lip moisturizers. Here's a swatch for you.


The color pay off is not really that well. It just gives off shiny particles which is not that beneficial. If not for the benefits it claimed to have, I would totally not like it but check this out.


I'm still giving the product a chance. Hopefully I would be able to like it and appreciate it. So there!


This is how the color looks like. I don't really know if the color is true because it actually looks the same as the color it is in the tube. But my lips are kind of pigmented as well so I don't know.
