Homemade Xmas Gift: Product Review

 Ok so time to review my holiday creations. muahahaha!
see my post on DIY Holiday Fun for deets on ingredients and steps. shouts to urbanbushbabes.com for the recipes! 




1. DIY Sugar Scrub

Pros: easy to make; simple ingredients; easy clean up

Cons: no real fragrance to it, which may be a pro for many, but it kinda smells like grocery-store sugar.

Suggestions if you try: I added sweet almond oil for smell











2. Lemon Honey FaceWash

Pros: easy to make; simple ingredients; smells lemony; leaves skin smooth



Cons: a bit sticky- only use in the wash or if you have a little extra time to get a little messy

Suggestions if you try:
buy a good moisturizer! It works best if applied immediately afterward.
I also took a trip to the container store at the cherry hill mall. You don't have to do this, but find a container that allows easy access. I opted for a push-down spout.









3. Shealoe Butter
Pros: great to use on feet at night (with some socks of course); great for scalp, especially after shower.

Cons: white chunks may appear in the hair, so use sparingly. a bit greasy for full-body coverage. I would use it lightly.

Suggestions if you try: 
for final presentation, use a metal spoon to stir into a large crumble. zit's flat surface can be a little annoying for application.
I followed the recipe, but also took creative license with the ratios. Have fun!
