Want to get permanent marker off your skin? Apply toothpaste to the area then pour over mouth wash, leave for 5 mins, wash off and pat dry. To get the remains off use nail polish remover - (this really works;)).

How to make lip scrub (Y)

If you have really dry lips then this will be the best D.I.Y project for you!

Equipment:

A disposable cup or bowl

A spoon

A microwave

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon of honey

1 teaspoon of oil (I used almond but you can use olive etc.

3 heaped tablespoons of  sugar (granulated or caster is fine too.)

Method:

1. Measure out the sugar and pour it into the bowl.

 2. Next add the oil, bit by bit.

3. Heat the honey for about 5 seconds and then add the honey!

4. MIX it up realllllly well!

5. Pat it down and smooth it out then your done!!

The amount of sugar that you put in depends on how you want the consistency, I like mine quite gritty like the lush one so I tend to add in quite a lot but the decision is yours entirely. Experiment and have fun!

How to fix a broken lipstick!

This rarely happens to me but when it does it is a such a pain in the bum! arghhh. This happened to me today!:( But everything is good as I know exactly how to fix it it (Y). Lets get started:

equipment:
- lighter/match - I actually used a candle as the flame was larger and I didn't have to hold like I would with a match or a lighter!
- A freezer - Im sure you all have one but if you dont you can just use a fridge but double the time.
- Plastic bag - To put the lipstick on when in the freezer.
- Gloves (optional)

Method:
1. Remove the lipstick bullet from the holder and put it onto the plastic bag.

2. Place in the freezer for about 5 to 7 mins or until firm to the touch.

3. Take it out of the freezer and melt the top of the remaining lipstick (where it snapped) and melt the  bottom of the lipstick bullet.

4. Quickly place the lipstick bullet back into the holder and hold down for a few seconds. You need to then make sure that the lipstick goes up and down smoothly, like this...

5. Place back in the freezer for around 5 to 7 mins again and thats it, your done!

This is so quick and easy to do especially if your in a rush of getting somewhere! Thanks for reading! Annia -x-

Tip of the day! 19/12/2012

I wear eye liner quite a lot and find it quite tricky to remove it! An easy way to do this is to dip a cotton bud in olive oil and gently remove the eyeliner going from the nose to the outer eye. Once the cotton bud has a lot of the eyeliner on them you just use a new one until there is no eyeliner left on the cotton bud. This way it shows when all the make-up is removed! ...or you can just look in the mirror!
