Topshops New Make Up Collection This Spring!!

Just discovered some exciting news!! Topshop have literally just released a new spring limited edition make up range called Sandstorm. This collection is enriched with warm tones and metallic finishes but a contrast of sorbet and neon colours.

These products are perfect for everyday and can build up for a stunning night time look as well. But the range to me is screaming out summer festival with its different colours and textures so can't wait to get my hands on this line, in stores NOW!!

On the Topshop website they created two online tutorials using Sandstorm make up. A Grunge Rock look and a Tribal Warrior look worth a look to get some ideas and tips for your own personal style :)

Love to hear what you think of this new range or just the complete Topshop make up collections, pros and cons xxxx

Home Made Lip Scrubs

Through out the last few months my lips have taken a battering with al the elements. The freezing temperatures of winter then sudden warmth of central heating really drys my lips right out!!!   

Here are 3 tried and tested home made lip scrubs to try out :-

Honey lip scrub:

Ingredients you will need :

• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• a few drops of olive oil

Step 1- Mix together the honey and the baking soda till you create a smooth paste. You can use a container      but a quick tip is to just use the palm of your hand.

Step 2- Apply the mixture with your finger to your lips but most importantly leave it to sit for a few minutes! Then with your finger or just by rubbing your lips together, remove any dead skin on the surface.

Step 3- Using warm water gently rinse the scrub off.

Step 4- Apply a small amount of olive oil while they r still wet, then blot dry with a cloth or tissue.  

Sugar Lip Scrub:
Step 1- Place a teaspoon of raw coarse sugar on to your the palm of your hand.


Step 2- Using your finger add a few drops of water to form a paste. Then lightly rub in to your lips.


Step 3-  Wash away with warm water. Then apple olive oil or my favourite vaseline to keep them moisturised after.  


Salt & Sugar Lip Scrub:

Ingredients you will need:

                           1 teaspoon of salt

                           1 teaspoon of white sugar

                           1 teaspoon of vaseline or shea butter

Step1- Mix all the above ingredients into a container or just the palm of you hand.

Step 2- Put the mixture on your lips and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then rub your lips together or use your finger to exfoliate them. 

Step 3- Wash your lips with warm water. Then apply more vaseline or shea butter for extra moisture and protection. Your lips will be beautifully soft and smooth :)

*Use this scrub 2 or 3 times a week if your lips are especially dry and flaky!
