DIY: Sugar Scrub

  • 1 cup organic demerara sugar (or any other coarse sugar will work)
  • 1-2 tsp organic unrefined coconut oil
  • 2 tsp organic shredded coconut
Mix shredded coconut and sugar in a small bowl, stir until blended. Heat coconut oil in a small pot just until melted. Pour coconut oil over sugar and shredded coconut, you'll notice it liquefies some of the sugar. With a fork or spoon, stir oil into the sugar mixture. It will start to spread. Continue until the sugar is all one consistency.

To use: Apply a small amount to areas you want to exfoliate and moisturize.

How To Fix Broken Eyeshadow

What you need:
  • A pair of gloves
  • Isopropyl Alcohol (Rubbing alcohol) 70% the higher the better
  • Broken Eyeshadow
  • Quarter
  • Spatula
  • Tissue
  • 2 Small Containers
  • Dropper 
Put your gloves on, pour out the Isopropyl Alcohol into a smaller container, you do not need a lot, just enough to mix the shadow with it to create a paste, more is not necessarily better. Next, scrape out the broken Eyeshadow with the spatula into a small container. With a dropper pick up the Isopropyl Alcohol and drop 2-3 drops into the shadow, every shadow is different and uses different amounts of alcohol. Mix it around with the spatula until it has become a paste.
 Pour the Eyeshadow paste into the palette, wrap a tissue around a quarter and gently press the shadow and hold it for a few seconds. Allow 1-2 hours to dry.

And Voila, you have fixed your broken Eyeshadow!
