Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Beauty review

I will be reviewing Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm all of these photos are my own and so are my opinions.

I got this lip balm from Boots for £3.69 ,this is quite expensive for such a small lip balm but its worth the money ,this lip balm is very compact, lightweight and moisturising. 

It comes in an orange and red packaging which is sweet and simple.It opens by twisting the bottom of the lip balm , when you apply the lip balm on it is quite thick but it quickly melts into your lips.It has no colour when it is applied.

   Pros:

• keeps lips soft
• moisturising
• simple packaging
• lasts for a long time 
• has a peppermint flavour to help keep breath fresh 

   cons:

• Gets lost easily

Homemade face masks are great ways to clean your skin.

stir in honey.

Apply to skin and leave for 10 minutes. 

Rinse face with a cool washcloth.

oily skin: 

put 1/4 of a cup of strawberries and non-flavored yogurt

 in a blender to combine or mash 

together the 

strawberries and yogurt with a fork 

(the blender works

10-15 minutes.

bowl with a

rinse off after 10 minutes.

lip Balm Review

I recently bought a lip balm from the body shop and its amazing , called vanilla bliss it's  in an half egg shaped container which I think is great.Vanilla bliss is colour less but it has a little shimmer to it ,ginger sparkles and cranberry joy are also flavors that are available .

pros

• nice smell
• leaves lips soft
• Not to large
• not  to bright
• natural ingredients

 cons 

• bits stick to the lip balm
• lid cracks
• the lids screw lines dent the lip balm

 Overall this is quite a good product. I got it on sale for 2 pounds but it is originally 4 pounds. click  here to go to the site.

Thank you  <3 :)

Styles this season

Heritage , military,Oriental ,Baroque Print ,Leather and Lace are big this season.Each week or two weeks i will post about them.Today I'm gonna do -

Leather and Lace 

Leather and Lace is really cool because the Lace is quite girlie  but the Leather gives it a 'Tough' twist.The great thing is that alot of Leather or Lace isn't needed , a little can go a long way.

How to wear           Picture from Asos market

I would wear this style with  flat black pumps or studded pumps because the style is quite delicate but any black shoes would do.    TIP-Don't overdo the leather or lace because you don't want to look tacky. 

This dress is from Asos market place here's a link to the site

How to make twist bands

I  posted these before but it's much cheaper to make your own.

  

1. First get some elastic ribbon/f.o.e (fold over elastic).
2. Measure the ribbon exactly 9.5 inches long , or you can make it bigger or smaller so it goes around your wrist,and cut it.
3. Fold it in half and knot it.
4. Burn or put clear nail polish on the ends of the elastic to stop the ends from fraying . 

You've just made your own twist band.

Telephone wire hair bands/glitter hair ties

These are great because you can wear them as bracelets or in your hair,because they are made from rubber they don't break your hair and are very comfortable on your wrists Amazon and Ebay sell these.

These are also great because they leave your hair crease free , because everyone knows how irritating it is when you take out your hair band leaving a 'Bump'in your hair. You can also get these from amazon.These also look great on your wrists.
