Tag- Shopping my stash ♥

Hey guys! So today I'm doing the Shopping my stash Tag! I thought it was a really interesting one, bacause this internet beauty comunnity can be tricky and lead you into buying too many products, and a lot of them you don't even get to use that much. So in this tag you basicly go searching for products you already have in your stash and that you forgot about, and just give them some use. I think this is really cool, it's a cheap and fun way to try new products, plus you find a lot of good stuff you didn't even know you had. So I put together some products I found in my stash- skincare, body care and fragrance. In a couple of weeks I will post a review, and let you know my first impressions on these goodies. I hope you like this! ♥

 

 

 

Clinique Three Step Sistem Skincare Kit I know what you're thinking, it's praticly a crime to have these products and not use them! I actually got them for my birthday in July, but I decided to store them away, and only open them up after using up my current products. The truth is I forgot about it! The other day I the box them and decided to give it a try... I was realy impressed with everything!

 

Agatha Ruiz de La Prada Kiwi Lip Balm I re-descovered these babies this week, and posted a review. I decided to include kiwi anyways, because it's my favourite and it's praticly new.

 

Johnson's Baby Fraiche Cologne The other day I was searching for toothpaste and bumped into this. I had no idea I had this, it was one of those great surprises. I actually love baby colognes, and I really like this one!

Hilfiger by Tommy Hilfiger Someone gave me this perfume about a year ago, and I gave it good use, but I always felt the fragrance was too strong for me, so I just put it away. Maybe it's the perfume, maybe it's me, but I'm loving it now!

Peach Moisturizing Soap by St Michael The other day I was looking for some tights and I found this inthe back of the drawer. I've never seen this in my life, I had no idea this was in my house! My mom said it came in a gift set but she never used it so she threw it in there. The point is she forgot to take off the package, so the scent never spread. The soap still smells really nice and it seemed really creamy, so I'm going to use it now.

So this is what I found in my stash, I hope you liked this and I want all of you reading this to go and search for some stuff in your house, you might just get lucky! ♥

 

 

 

DIY Lip Scrub using Toothpaste!

Hey guys! So Fall is just around the corner, and with it comes the cold weather, so our lips can get super chapped and not very pretty to look at. In those days, there's nothing better than a lip scrub, but to be honest they're quite expensive and I'd rather spend my money on other stuff. That's why I like to make my own, that's what I'll talk about today.

 

If you google sugar lip srub recipes, wich I've done a billion times, they all include either clear vaseline, wich I don't have, or the classic mix of honey and olive oil. Let's be honest, it works well but smells and tastes gross. What I like to do to scrub my lips is actually use toothpaste. I've done it a few times an it works amazing, but there's nothing on youtube or blogs about it, so I decided to show you guys. Here's how I do it.

 

 

So the main ingredient is sugar. I like to use just regular sugar that you have around the house, but I guess you could use brown sugar or anything else you'd like. For my base, I replaced honey/ vaseline with toothpaste. It's not moisturizing like the original ingredients, but after I scrub my lips, I lick it off anyways, and then I use a lip balm. Make sure you use a toothpaste that isn't too thick, just thick enough. I'm using Colgate Herbal Mineral Salts. Depending on what you use, either it's mint or strawberry flavoured, just take a pea size amount and mix it with half a tbsp of the sugar you picked and mix it on the palm of your hand. Then just apply it to your lips and gently scrub them to remove the dead skin.
 

 

Srub for about a minute, and then either wash it off, or lick it if you like the flavour. I guess you could store it in the fridge or something, but it would most likely dry. Since it's so easy to make, I just do some more everytime I use it, so it's fresh and nice. For the perfect finished lips, put on some kind of lip treatment to really moisturize your lips. I'm using letibalm. This little combo will leave your lips full, soft and moisturized, with a natural pinky tint. Looks gorgeous!

 

I hope you liked my idea, let me know if you try it out! xx

Review- Yes to carrots lip butters!

Yes to carrots lip butters

Hey, guys, I'm back! I just updated this post with some more information, but I will be posting some new stuff soon.  Anyways, I love these lip butters! They're very soft and mositurizing, plus they all smell amazing. They're clear and don't have a taste, so everyone will like them. Because of the more waxy texture, you have to reaply them maybe every hour or so, but one tube will last you forever! They run very cheap and are available at Sephora in 5 different scents. I have the berry and melon (both amazing, melon's my favourite), but I'd love to have the whole collection, I'll probabaly go for the mint one next time.

Some nice ingredients (all organic): Coconut oil, olive oil, beeswax, joboba seed oil, sunflower seed oil, shea butter, orange peel extract, carrot root extract and pumpkin seed extract.
