Make your own lipscrub!

This post has been requested by the ever amazing Sophia whose blog is just pure amazing - enough said.

What you will need:

 AN EMPTY TIN; YOUR CHOSEN LIP BALM/SMACKER/STICK; VASELINE; A TABLE SPOON;SUGAR

YOU WILL ALSO NEED A METAL SKEWER; KITCHEN PAPER TOWELS AND A KNIFE.

First things first - tear off your some kitchen paper and lay it down (to prevent any spills/sugar going everywhere/vaseline dripping) and prop everything you need onto it.

Grab your spoon and get quite a big spoonful of vaseline (depending on how big your tin is) and put it into your tin. It's better off to start not having enough than having too much.

Next, pour some sugar into your tin and mix it all up with your metal skewer - we will add more vaseline and sugar later on.

 DO NOT USE COTTON EAR BUDS LIKE I DID - IT LEAVES LITTLE BITS OF FLUFF IN YOUR LIPSCRUB!!

After mixing, start chopping up your lip stick/balm/smacker (I used Cherry Coke Lip Smacker) into little pieces like as if you're chopping up cucumber.

Start adding a few slices into the mixture and start mixing.

Note, this stage will take quite a while in order for the lip whatever to break up and mix well. You can heat this up if you wish by putting the slices onto a large spoon and holding it over your hob for a few minutes until it is melted. I chose not to do this purely because I didn't want to burn it.

Continue adding the rest of the lip whatever until it is all gone and add more sugar/vaseline to get the right consistency that you want.

But don't forget to keep on mixing!!

Once you have got a sufficient amount in your tin and it is the right consistency, you will need to leave it in the fridge overnight in order for it to harden.

TADAA!
 
And there we have it - how to make your own lipscrub.
