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!

DIY: Wire Bow Ring

Hey Everyone! I have been searching high and low for a bow ring and haven't had much luck so I decided I'd make one. So here is a little DIY.

What You Need:

• wire ( I prefer using either 16 or 18 gauge wire )

• wire cutters

• ruler

• emery board

• nail polish cap

Instructions:

1. Begin by cutting some wire. If you are using a thicker wire so 16 gauge I recommend 7", and 5" for 18 gauge.

2. Take your nail polish cap and begin to wrap the wire around so that it is even on each side.

3. Continue to wrap the wire so that each end is on the opposite side.

4. Take the left side and begin to make a bow loop.

5. Repeat on the other side.

6. Remove the ring from the polish lid. Take the end of the first bow loop and bring it under and over the centre of the bow.

7. Voila! You now have yourself your very own bow ring!

I hope you have as much fun as I did making this! Please tweet us your photos @lbdgirls :)

DIY: Lip Scrub

Hey Everyone! I recently did a post on "a kissable pout" and I mentioned using a lip scrub. So I figured why not do a post on how to make your own lip scrub. 

What you need:

• 1 tablespoon of sugar 

• 1 tablespoon of honey

• ½ teaspoon of olive oil

• ½ teaspoon of vaseline

• spoons 

• jar

• separate bowl to mix in

How to:

1. Start by mixing the sugar and the honey together, make sure that it is mixed well before continuing to the next step.

2. Add in the vaseline and mix it well. Make sure the scrub is an even colouring.

3. Add the olive oil and mix.

4. Scoop the scrub into your jar and seal. The scrub will be good for about a week, at this time it may start separating. 

Enjoy!

Here's to kissable lips!
