DIY Lush Bath Bombs?

I have seen this post floating around Pinterest for a while now and so we decided to put it to the test! This is the original post-

DIY Bath Bombs!

What you will need-

• Citric Acid ( 1 Cup )

• Baking Soda ( 1 Cup )

• Cornstarch ( 1 /2 Cup )

• Essential oils ( 8-10 Drops )

• Silicone molds or Cupcake tins

• Food Coloring

Steps-

• Mix all dry ingredients and set aside ( Add food coloring if you want and mix with hands )

• In a separate bowl mix wet ingredients

• Mix all the ingredients together to make a wet sand-like consistency

• Put the mixture into a mold or you can use cupcake liners

• Press the mixture in using a small spoon to pack it all in and get the air bubbles out

• Let dry for at least 24 hours

We decided to make galaxy bath bombs using purple and blue food coloring. This is how they turned out! After testing I would say this is a Pinterest pass! I mean its not always perfect or " Exactly like Lush bath bombs " Sometimes they don't dissolve completely but they do fizz and and adding natural oils fives off a great aroma!

During my trip to France I really wanted to try a lot of European makeup. One of my favorite brands I tried was Kiko. It is very affordable and really good quality. If you live in the US you aren't completely out of luck because you can order online however it is more expensive. So these are my must haves from the Kiko line and a few things that you could probably pass on.

RECOMENDATIONS

Eye shadow- One of my favorite products from the Kiko line is the Color Fever Eyeshadow Palette ($20) in the color 101 Coral Burgundy. This eyeshadow palette is a quad and when I travel sometimes its the only eyeshadow I take. The colors are pigmented and creamy and you can go natural or really bold with just those four colors. Another eyeshadow recommendation I have are the water eyeshadows ($14) these can be very bold and metallic when used wet. Lastly the Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadows ($12) remind me a lot of the NYX jumbo pencils.

Lip Products- The lip products where some of my favorite over all. They came in a variety of colors and they where very long lasting. I mostly bought Mattes from the Gossamer Emotion Creamy Lipstick ($12) line but I also have some from the Ultra Glossy Stylo ($8) and the Smart Lipstick ($7) line to me they are all equally as good however the ones from the Gossamer Emotion line seem to last the longest. They are pigmented but not overly drying. The 3D Instant Volume Lip Gloss ($12) is equally as good!

Face Products- I tried a few of the primers and the Liquid Skin foundation ($26) however I would pass on those because honestly the foundation was a bit cakey and the primer didn't do a whole lot. I do however think that the Dark Circle Tone Eraser ($13) and Full Coverage Concealer ($12) are an unstoppable duo. Together they are full coverage and long wearing but they do crease a little bit after hours of wear.

Powders- I have the Radiant Fusion Baked Powder ($18) in a few shades darker than my natural skin tone, I use it as an all over bronzer and it works really well! I also tried the Shade Fusion Trio Blush ($15) and I don't have any complaints about that either however it didn't really stand out among my other blushes. I saved the best for last! The Eyebrow Expert Styling Kit ($21) is my most used Kiko product, I use it every single day.
