Unlock Your Matte Lipstick's All-Day Power with These Beauty Hacks, Babe!
Hey gorgeous! 💄
You know what screams SLAY? Rocking that flawless matte lipstick - specifically our #VBE'Matt LipDuo! 🤩 But hey, we've all had those moments when our matte just doesn't stick around as long as we'd like, right? Cue the inner monologue: "Is this gonna last all day or what?" Well, guess what? It totally can! 💋
Just like any makeup routine, prepping your pout for that killer matte lip is both simple and crucial. 😉 Let's start with hydration – yup, good ol' H2O! I know, I know, you're tired of hearing it, but trust me, it's a game-changer. Without enough water, your matte lipstick might leave you with dry, flaky lips (not cute, right?), more pronounced lip lines (not the kind of definition we're going for, babe!), and worst of all - a quicker fade. Say it with me now: water, water, water! 💦
Now, onto another key player in the matte lip game: the lip scrub! This little gem not only helps get rid of those pesky dead skin cells hanging out on your lips, but it also creates the perfect smooth canvas for your matte lipstick to work its magic. Plus, it helps your lip color stick around longer – major win! So, I've got a super easy DIY lip scrub recipe for you, using ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Ready? Let's slay! 💋
Here's what you'll need:
Brown Sugar or White Sugar: These babies act as your exfoliating superheroes, giving your lips that silky smooth feel.
Coconut Oil or Olive Oil: Moisturise and bind, keeping your scrub together like a dream.
Honey: Adding moisture and fighting off any unwanted bacteria, honey's got your back!
Optional Flavourings: Get creative with flavors like vanilla extract, peppermint oil, or essential oils for that extra oomph!
A Small Mixing Bowl: Where all the magic happens!
A Spoon or a Spatula: Your trusty sidekicks for mixing up your fabulous concoction.
A Clean Container: To store your lip scrub and keep it fresh for your next pampering session!
Let's dive into the fun part – mixing up your fabulous lip scrub! Here's how:
Sugar, Sugar!: Start off with about 1 tablespoon of brown or white sugar in your mixing bowl. Feel free to adjust the amount based on how much scrub you wanna whip up!
Oil Up!: Add in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or olive oil – depending on how moisturizing you want your scrub to be. Let's keep those lips hydrated, babe!
Sweeten the Deal!: Sprinkle in around 1/2 teaspoon of honey for that extra boost of moisture and antibacterial goodness.
Add Some Flavour!: If you're feeling fancy and wanna jazz up your scrub with some flavourings or essential oils, go ahead and add a few drops to the mix. Start small and adjust to your taste!
Mix Your Ingredients: Grab your spoon or spatula and mix all those magical ingredients together until they're beautifully combined. Aim for a texture that's grainy yet spreadable – if it's too dry, toss in a bit more oil; if it's too wet, sprinkle in some more sugar.
Now The Test: Take a small amount of the scrub and apply it to your lips. Gently massage it in a circular motion for about 1-2 minutes - remember gentle. ✨
Label and Store: Once your lip scrub reaches that perfect consistency and texture, it's time to give it a cosy home. Transfer it to a clean container with a snug-fitting lid. Don't forget to give your creation some love by labeling the container with all the ingredients and the date you whipped it up. Let's keep things organized and fabulous! Your lip scrub will stay fresh for weeks to come. But hey, if it starts acting funky – it's time to let it go (so less is best)!
Enjoy Your Smooth Lips!: Get ready to indulge those lips whenever they need a little TLC. Use your organic lip scrub whenever you want to exfoliate and moisturise those beauties. Say hello to soft, smooth lips! Note: Remember to patch-test any new ingredients, especially if your skin's on the sensitive side. Safety first, gorgeous!
Now go ahead, pamper those lips and revel in your DIY lip scrub masterpiece! 💄💖
