DIY: Tinted Lip Balm

Hello Everyone! I am back with another fun DIY! I am loving doing these DIY's and they are perfect for those beauties on a budget. Not only do they allow you to have more of your favourite beauty products they also allow you to save a lot by making them yourself! So lets get started.

What You Need:

• Vaseline

• Eye Shadow or Blush (pick one you either don't use or is already broken)

• Jar

• Something to mix with (I used a bobby pin)

How To:

1. Fill your jar with vaseline, you may have to pat it down to make sure there aren't too many air bubbles in the jar.

2. You can either crush up an unused or old eye shadow or blush, or simply take one that is already broken (good solution for those broken products) and mix together with the vaseline.

3. Make sure the product is mixed well.

4. Enjoy! 

I made a couple different colours, one that was a little more dramatic and one that is more nude. What I love best about these tinted lip balm's is because you are using vaseline it isn't a sticky formula and it will really help with any dry spells that your lips may encounter.

I hope you enjoyed this DIY, as much as I enjoy making them! Please let us know if you'd like to see more DIY's!

Pamper Yourself

The first thing that I think of when I hear the word "pamper" is going to a spa and spending lots of money.  However it doesn't have to be like that! Last night after getting back from Niagara, cleaning my room and doing laundry I was feeling a bit worse for wear, and in need of some TLC.  But due to lack of funds I wasn't about to go and book a spa day!  So instead I created my own "spa" here at home!

Granted my "spa" wasn't anything extraordinary, but it did make me feel a whole lot better!  After a hot shower I slipped into some comfy sweats and lit some candles.  While enjoying the calming atmosphere in my room I read some Vogue and gave my self a french manicure (not that hard to do!).  Finally I finished it off by watching Midnight in Paris (I love this movie to bits!  If I could move anywhere in the world it would be Paris! I've only been once but it was love at first sight!).

Taking time out of my busy week to treat myself to things I don't normally do always makes me feel amazing.  It's really important to spend some time doing things for you and doing things just because you want to.  And what you do doesn't really matter, it could be taking a nice long bath, reading a book, or doing some yoga - just do it for you!

So next time you're feeling a bit tattered around the edges, set some time aside to spend pampering yourself!  Have a wonderful evening.
