Simply Beautiful Beauty Treatment #26

Kissable Lips

Today's treatment I got from the blog "the seductive woman" (her blog is on blogspot.com)

To Exfoliate.....use brown sugar. With wet fingertips, I move the sugar granules (in constant small circular motions,) over the entire surface of my lips. Then, I rinse (and am left with a lingering sugary sweetness on my lips.)
 

Homemade Lip-plumping Recipe - For Plump, Rosy CHERRY Lips (No lipstick Needed!)


Want to get CHERRY LIPS - lips like a seductress - and make them fuller and more seductive dove? Would you also like to be able to minimize the use of lipstick by having 'naturally' rosy lips? Then, try this homemade lip-plumping recipe!

Ingredients;

Vaseline

Table salt

Cinnamon powder (lip-plumpers such as 'Lip Venom' often use cinnamon to increase circulation in the lips and make them swell.)

Red/pink food coloring or a cut piece of raw beetroot

You'll also need;

A small pot with a lid

A lip brush

Tissues

Preparation Method;

In a small pot, put some Vaseline. Add a half a teaspoon each of salt and cinnamon to the Vaseline.

Stir and blend.

Now, with your fingertips, apply the mixture to your lips, rubbing and exfoliating them WELL. You'll soon notice that your lips will become tingly and puffier from the cinnamon.

Leave the mixture on your lips for 5-7 minutes, and then wipe off with a tissue.

Using a lip brush, dip the tip of the lip brush into a bottle of red/pink food coloring - or into the juice of a freshly cut beetroot.

Apply the coloring generously (so the color will last a few days,) and evenly to your lips.
