LEMON and SUGAR FACE SCRUB for all skin types!

Hello Bellas, Once again I am here with an easy to make homemade beauty product! Everyone spends money on beauty products for the face or body. We never think of looking around the house to create a healthy beauty product for a very cheap price. We are just going to think  of the easiest way out, which is to go to the store and buy a brand name scrub or face wash that has been tested and maybe safer. This face scrub is super healthy and I recommend it to any skin type. It works wonders even for the body. This lemon and sugar scrub can be used on both the body and face. It is ideal for rough spots like feet, knees, elbows and hands. It’s also great for nail beds and cuticles. To use on the face, this scrub works wonderfully for those with acne-prone skin. But, of course, the entire body can benefit from a lemon and sugar exfoliation that leaves skin soft and insanely smooth. Indulge in this scrub from head to toe!

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

• 1/2 fresh lemon
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 tbls of olive oil
• 1 tbls of organic honey
• 1 medium sized topper-ware bowl with lid

INSTRUCTIONS:
Add lemon juice and olive oil in to a bowl (I like to use tupperware as it is easy storage) until they mix together. Add the honey and wisk or stir quickly until the ingredients bind together into a medium thick consistency. You can add or subtract the amount of olive oil and honey that you use depending on how thick you want your scrub to be. I would keep the lemon to the juice of one half of a freshly cut lemon for every 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Add in the sugar and mix. If you sense that there is not enough sugar to get the scrubbing done, add a bit more. Again, this is a personal preference.

As a face scrub: The lemon and sugar scrub is also great for the face, but use with gentle circular motions. This scrub is ideal for people who suffer from breakouts and acne as all of the ingredients are highly beneficial to acne prone skin. Lemon tightens pores and evens out the skin tone, sugar removes dead skin cells and cleans pores, olive oil heals acne scaring, and honey prevents future breakouts. To use, follow the same recipe instructions then apply to clean face in gentle, circular motions. Be cautious of using on open wounds as the lemon may sting. Leave on for 7-10 minutes and rinse with cool water.

As a body scrub: Apply to body, paying extra close attention to elbows, knees, feet and hands (nails and cuticles especially) and rub in circular motions for 3 to 5 minutes. Rinse. Enjoy the silky softness of your impossibly smooth skin.



BENEFITS:
Lemon – A natural source of Vitamin C; an ingredient commonly used to lighten sun and age spots and even out skin tone; A natural astringent that tightens pores and brightens the complexion.
Sugar – A natural exfoliator; a natural source of glycolic acid which evens out skin tone, cleans pores, and improves overall skin texture by removing dead, dull skin cells.
Olive Oil – High in Vitamin E which soothes and heals skin; a natural moisturizing ingredient often used for it’s anti-aging benefits.
Honey – A natural source of anti-oxidants making it a perfect ingredients for age preventions; a natural humectant so it locks water into the skin keeping the complexion hydrated; the antibacterial properties benefit acne-prone skin by reducing breakouts.



There you have it Bellas, an easy to make face scrub that will be so beneficial to your skin making it one step closer to staying Beautiful!

REVIEW on the Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette!

First of all let me start by saying I'm super sorry for not writing on my beauty blog for so long. Good news is I have finally bought my own apartment and am currently remodeling it :). Super excited for the finished results! After all the remodeling is done I can finally start my YouTube channel filming for you guys. I know you guys have been begging me to start filming but I really didn't want to have a weird background and change backgrounds after I move soon so truly I want to have the perfect set including background for my YouTube channel tutorials for you guys to enjoy :). 

Today what I am reviewing for you guys is one of my favorite palettes on the face of the earth. The Urban Decay Naked Flushed Palette. This palette has three sections that are very important to complete a perfect makeup look; from bronzer, to blush and highlight. Look at how amazing this palette looks:

URBAN DECAY FLUSHED PALETTE

SILKY- Bronzer, highlighter, and blush

Like the palette says "NAKED"...It's kind of being Naked with it's silky colors. It makes you face look more alive and well contoured with the bronzer; a natural rosy cheeks with it's blush making your face have it's natural blushed look and don't forget my favorite, the highlighter to pop your facial features and brighten up your look making you look more awake and alive. This palette will work with any skin tone, it just depends on how much you apply. For dark skin just apply 2 layers of more for a pop of color. This palette is super vibrant and I recommend it to anyone. You can also mix all the colors for a radiant glow. Also it has a perfect size mirror for on the go touch ups. This will fit inside your purse which is a must :)! You can find this for $30.00 at Sephora, Ulta or the Urban Decay website.

Bronzer, Highlighter and Blush (true colors)

SWATCHES:

Swatch on the hand

Swatch on my fingers

Maybelline BB Cream Review!

Hey Angels, I am sorry I took longer to post for this week. I try to post something about beauty one day of each week. I am here today to talk about one of my favorite things in the world of makeup! Wow I am super happy that the BB creams came out. I honestly don't like to use foundation because I feel like we are putting a mask on our faces! Foundation could get super thick and pasty on the face if you do not know how to use it! Believe it or not the BB creams have been out there since the 1960's. A doctor called Dr. Christine Schrammek used it to protect her patients skin after surgery. The BB stands for Beauty Balm, Blemish Balm or Blemish Base. I personally enjoy the Maybelline BB cream; I have been using it for about 1 month now and decided it was long enough to write a review about it. Enjoy!

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

 The Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream is an 8-in-1 Beauty Balm that protects and perfects the skin. Here are all of the benefits it gives to your skin:

8-IN-1
SKIN PERFECTOR:

1. CREATES A NATURAL GLOW
2. COMPLIMENTS SKIN-TONE
3. SPF 30 UV PROTECTION
4. HYDRATES ALL DAY
5. BLURS IMPERFECTIONS
6. 0%- OIL FREE, NON GREASY
7. LOOKS VISIBLY SMOOTH
8. FEELS FRESH

FOR INSTANT SKIN NOW!!!
TO USE: Apply a thin layer on skin. Can be used with or without a moisturizer.

What I love is that it has SPF 30; if you guys remember on my post: "Prepping Your Face for The Day Or Before Applying Makeup" I really don't like to use sunblock because it's so oily and greasy on my skin also I don't go out on the sun much, but this is different it has 0% oils and it's no greasy at all, I am in love... FINALLY!!!

Colors available for the BB cream:
Matches every skin tone!







I use the light color.

Hope you all enjoyed this post and if you have any question please feel free to email me at B-BellabyCamie@live.com or leave questions on comment box below. Always remember every Bella needs BEAUTY, Stay Beautiful!!!
 

Love Always,
Camila Barros
