I admit, I have a bit of a beauty problem. I have more lotions and potions than I know what to do with. But I think you'd be surprised that I make many of my own beauty products and have since I was little.
I know what you're thinking--who has the time or all of these ingredients? Trust me, I make most of them really, really easy to create, like any of my sprays. I try to stick to available ingredients. I chose 10 of my faves and am sharing them with you. You'll love them and use them. Just click the title to be taken to the link. I can't wait to hear your faves!
DIY Sprays For FACE:
DIY Watermelon Toner (a must-try this summer and it's not sticky!)
DIY Toner (love this in the summer when my face can get oily)
DIY Makeup Setting Spray
DIY Soothing Eye Pads (these feel amazing)
DIY Soothing Sun Mist Spray (pin now, use later--your skin will thank you)
DIY Sprays For HAIR:
DIY Shiny Hair Spray (rosemary is the secret ingredient)
DIY Hair Detangler (you seriously never need to buy this again--so easy to make)
DIY Sea Salt Spray (my most popular recipe--you've seen this on Pinterest!)
DIY Beachy Waves Spray (this one is conditioning and gives texture)
DIY Vanilla Sea Salt Beachy Waves Spray (because not everyone not coconut--this smells amazing)
Which ones would you like to make?
Extra Elle:

ReplyDeleteWatermelon toner?! That sounds amazing, fabulous and so summer like! I must try.
ReplyDeleteI loved the sprays and the fact that you make them! I would like to try the sea salt spray, but most of all the eye pads - I have some problems with my eyes from time to time, and that one would be my favorite one to try! I still remember, use and spread your tips about lip balm and now I will do the same with sprays!

ReplyDeleteHm Idk if the watermelon spray scares me, or if I want to spray it all over my body? Totally a watermelon nut. Like you couldn't tell? (; I always love your DIY's. For sure trying the Vanilla beachy waves spray! Have a lovely weekend Elle!
ReplyDeleteWow that's so cool that you make your own beauty products, Elle! I have a blogger friend who sells her own all natural make-up on Etsy (Glory Boon) and I think she's just about the coolest person ever because of it!
