My Beauty Wish List - September 2012

1. Soap & Glory Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser 100ml RRP £10
2. Soap & Glory Glow Lotion 150ml RRP £5.50
3. Soap & Glory Girligo Body Moisturising Mist 250ml RRP £6.50
4. VO5 Hot Oil Shower Works Moisture Soak 75ml RRP £4.29
5. MUA Lip Liners in  Pink Me Up, Softly Lined, Brooding Plum & Red Drama RRP £1 each
6. MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation 40ml RRP £24
The above products are the products i've been lusting after so far this month and with Boots having some Soap & Glory products and hair products on 3 for 2 I may have to buy these soon. The MUA lip liners are such a bargain for £1 but I haven't found them in any of the Superdrugs i've been in yet so i'm on a hunt for them. I've always wanted to try MAC foundation and after using the MAC Foundation Finder the studio sculpt seems to be the right type for me. So I think I might splurge on that this month. What products are you lusting after this month?

DIY: Strawberry Lip Scrub

strawberry lip scrub

I've been wanting to try lip scrub for a while now as my lips have been feeling dry and chapped. Instead of paying £6 for a small tub from a shop I decided to make my own.

Ingredients and equipment needed:
  • Brown Sugar (White Sugar can work too!)
  • Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly
  • Strawberry Chapstick (or a flavour you prefer)
  • Honey (optional)
  • A small tub
  • A teaspoon


I mixed the sugar, vaseline and honey together using the end of a spoon as the spoon was a bit too big to mix them together. I cut the end off a strawberry chapstick and added it to the mix which turned the mix a light pink colour to add a slight pink/red pigment as well as more moisturising when I put it on my lips. The scrub is in small tub which I got out of a travel bottle set that I bought a while ago. You can either store it in a cool dry place or a fridge. I'm not sure how long it'll last but for the quick amount of time and no cost (as I had all the ingredients already) it took its worth making again.


It works great and is a pretty colour too! Will you be making your own lip scrub?
