Add Some DIY

We will all be spoiling our fabulous Mom's this Sunday with some much deserved luxury. Whether it is a day at the spa, a collection of her favourite sweet treats, or a gift basket of luxurious products, adding a little do-it-yourself magic to a Mother's Day gift can add the personal touch your gift needs. 

* Only three more days until the big day! Get free mini Lollia hand cream with your Lollia purchase $75 or over online or at one of our storefront locations in Unionville or the Distillery District! 

DIY: MAKEUP REMOVER

This mixture works wonders for removing makeup (waterproof makeup too!) and it's virtually effortless to make. While using extra virgin olive oil alone as a makeup remover also works wonders, I found that adding water makes a solution that is a little easier to work with. It's a great simple, natural and safe way to remove your makeup. 

Also, don't worry about wiping away the excess oils once your make up is gone. Extra virgin olive oil will do nothing but good for your skin and lashes!

DIY: Blossom Glow

Who doesn't love their skin to glow? Save this easy recipe, for your next pampering session, with all-natural ingredients you probably have in your home already! The combination of honey and lemon brightens, clears and smooths skin for the softest finish. For the best results follow these steps:

1. Tie all of your hair back away from the facial area

2. Steam face to open your pores (or take a hot shower)

3. On clean skin, apply your mixture of honey and lemon all over

4. Let the mask sink in for 20 minutes (take a cat nap!)

5. Wash off with warm water and a final splash of cold water to close pores

6. Smile, beautiful!

DIY: Clean Your Jewels

Today we are going to be little scientists! Keep your jewelry, sparkling and clean with this do-it-yourself at home cleansing treatment. The basics include: a bowl, aluminum foil, baking soda and water, which you probably already have in your house right now. So grab all your jewels and let's go to the kitchen! 

. . .

Step 1. 

Pour water half way in to your bowl and microwave for 20 seconds.

Step 2. 

Fold a small sheet of aluminum foil to fit in the bowl and push it down to the bottom with a fork.

Step 3.

 Pour a generous amount of baking powder in to the bowl.

Step 4. 

Put your jewelry, one at a time (or as many the bowl fits).

Step 5. 

Wait a couple of seconds, pick up your jewellery and then rinse out with water at the sink.
. . . 

If your jewelry still looks tarnished, put it back in to the bowl for a little bit more and scrub some baking powder in to the piece. Voila! This formula works great on sterling silver, diamonds and white gold that need some sprucing up. Good as new!

BLOSSOM BEAUTY BITS: DIY Brush Storage

Today we have a little do-it-yourself project, that is not only affordable but seamlessly simple. Taking care of your cosmetic brushes doesn't just stop at cleaning them properly and regularly, storing them in a hygienic way is just as important as the cleaning routine! This prevents bacteria from growing and mixing in your cupboard or makeup bag, and essentially prevents your skin from suffering because of it. All you need are three things. A vase, bean bag fill & a satin ribbon.

To Assemble:

1. VASE: Ikea has affordable options, that are of great quality in the vase department. Use any shape or size that accommodates to your brush collection. 

2. FILLER: Clear bean bag fill achieves a clean look. You could also use sand, rocks or coffee beans! Find this option at Wal-Mart or Michael's craft store. Fill your vase 3/4 full. 

3. RIBBON: To achieve a little sophistication, wrap your ribbon around the vase and tie a bow in the centre. Pick any colour of your choice, black is always classic. Wrap the ribbon around the perimeter to measure how much you will need and lend a little extra for the bow in the centre. You can virtually find ribbon anywhere from your local craft or dollar store.

4. Lastly, arrange your makeup brushes standing up with a generous distance in between each one so brushes do not overlap. 

There you have it, pretty, organized, hygienic storage for your cosmetic brushes to sleep in!
