Honey, Oats & Lemon Face Mask



Honey, oats & lemon in a face mask can work both for combination skin and dry skin. If you have sensitive skin, use just honey & oats. The lemon may irritate your skin! But, this is my favorite and go to face mask that can be quickly made. It also has different ways of being applied based on what you like. Any use of organic products would be ideal.

What you need

1 1/2 tablespoon of honey
Quarter of a lemon
2-3 table spoons of oats
1-2 small bowls (depends on you want to apply, see below)

Really don't worry that much about measurements; it really is just a guesstimate on your own needs.


1) Squeeze the lemon & mix all three ingredients together. Rub into skin with CLEAN fingers (can't stress clean enough). Leave for 15-30 minutes based on your own needs. If it begins to irritate you, rinse it off…

2) Squeeze half of your lemon wedge into one bowl & the other half into another. Mix one bowl with oats & the other with honey. The lemon & oat mix can be messaged into your skin with CLEAN fingers. Rinse off. Apply the mixture of lemon & honey onto face evenly. Leave this on for 15-30 minutes.

3) Instead of the above, have honey into both bowls. Apply in the same fashion. Honey & oats first followed by honey & lemon afterwards. The latter will be left on

4) You could also mix oats and water together first and apply the other two after...

5) I’m sure there is even more ways I can’t think of right now.

Overall this face mask both moisturizes and exfoliates.

Fresh Sugar Lip Polish




     During these cold winter months, our lips and skin can become extremely dry --especially for me. It is really important to keep moisturized; it helps your skin stay soft and helps against the signs of aging! I want to start off with the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish.

     What I like about this product is it keeps my lips moisturized and does some exfoilating. Keep in my mind I have a really bad case of dry lips. I bite and lick my lips a lot! I use this product for the past week, more than recommended (I use it five times a week). I already notice how much more softer my lips are. This product also uses fine sugar to exfloiate, which is a good thing. You do not want to use larger pieces, it can damage skin/lips easily!



I recommend this product to those who do not have a serious case of dry lips.

Lush Colour Supplement


Dark Yellow
Lush Colour Supplement ($16.95 US) V



I bought one of these products in September to reduce my use of foundation that can clog up my pores. I was really impressed with this product because it doesn't increase my blemishes. It also did not dry out my pores that I find to happen easily. This product isn't made for full coverage, but if you are like me and trying to clear away your blemishes and the use of harsh products this is ideal. It helps to make your skin glow.

Although my scars still show through with this, I wouldn't have it any other way. Foundations I have previously used with full coverage, covers up the problem instead of getting to the root of it. My scarring problem cannot be fixed if I just cover it up.

recommend this product to anyone who wants to add a glow to your skin or help to even out your skin tones!

2013 Resolution

Towards the end of December, I wanted to create myself a realistic Resolution. I don't know how many of you reading this also share the same problem of touching your blemishes, I know I personally cannot stop. To be honest, I don't have a serious acne problem -- I barely even have any -- but with stress it comes! I want to create a year long commitment of not only to stop touching them, but to prevent them as much as possible. I plan on posting beauty products that work for sensitive/dry skin and makeup products/tips. I hope I can help others out there who have the same problem as I. Click here to read a bit more
