Just bought an amazing new lip stick for fall? *I'm loving Revlon's black cherry* The shade might complement your outfit but what brings down your look is cracking and peeling lips. It makes lipstick application difficult and is a general mess. A great fix is a lip scrub and LUSH makes a great tasting one! But its $10 for a tiny little pot and thats a little steep even for the popcorn flavor. So here Im going to show you how to make an almost identical scrub with items you probably already have in your kitchen!
*For the mint julep flavor peppermint and vanilla work just fine but if you like the taste of bubble gum, you can find a great tasting extract online or at your local baking store
*If you don't have any small containers on hand, the body shop gives out samples in super clean-able small plastic containers.
Amounts:
*Three teaspoons of sugar
*1.5 teaspoons of oil
* 3 drops peppermint extract
*1 drop vanilla extract
*1 drop green food coloring
* < 1 drop blue (I put blue food coloring on my finger and dabbed it onto the scrub a couple of times to achieve a pretty mint green).
* Two small plastic containers
Mix it all together until the texture is slightly crumbly and stays together if u pick up a glob. Don't be afraid to mix in a little sugar if its too wet or more oil if its too dry. Tweak the recipe to your liking and you can't go wrong!
And don't forget the last step!
