Homemade DIY Coffee Body Scrub

You don't need to break the mini pig bank to get a fantastic organic body scrub, just follow this quick DIY. You will need coffee powder (the used one, right after the coffee is made).

Then you just need 2 tbsp of almond oil and 2 tbsp of coconut oil. Mix it very well with the coffee powder until you get a creamy consistency. Then use it as a regular scrub and rinse it out with water. The skin's dead cells will be removed and your skin will be perfectly moisturized!

If you want to use it on your face, replace the almond oil by 2 tbsp of Rose Water, and apply it with a cotton pad, and then use your fingers in circular motions. After that you just rinse it with water and voilĂ !

DIY Hair Mask - Get Shiny Hair

This is another very simple homemade hair mask. Very cheap and easy to do and you hair will thank you.

You will need:

  • 3 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of coconut milk
  • 1 avocado
You just need to mash the avocado until you get a smooth texture. Then add the coconut milk and the olive oil, and mix it very well. Heat it up in the microwave for 20 seconds and them apply this mix all over your hair and leave it for 30 minutes. Use a shower cap to keep it in place.
Then wash it all out with cold water (or slightly warm).

Extra tip:

On an empty spray bottle add water and mix a little of the Moodstruck Mineral Pigment in the shade Curious. Shake it very, very well and then spray it to your hair, for a little bit of extra shimmer!

DIY - Avocado Hair Mask


There's no news to anyone that avocados are great moisturizers. And they do wonders for your hair. A hair that keeps its moisture, doesn't get dried, and the ends don't split as much as a dried hair. So everybody wins!

Ingredients:
  • 1 half avocado
  • 1 egg yolk
Blend the avocado and the yolk in a blender, and then apply to your hair, from the scalp to the bottom. Wrap your hair in a shower cap and wait 15-20 minutes. This is the right opportunity to clean your skin with the Awake Facial Cleanser by Younique.
After, rinse it out in the shower and shampoo and condition as usual.
Hydrate your skin with the Brilliant Daily Moisturizing Gel to match your super hydrated hair.

Tip Of The Day: How to Prevent Your Lipstick to Bleed


The trick is the highlighter! What? The highlighter, on the lips?
We'll explain:
Apply the lipstick as usual. Make sure your lips are plump and pretty (not dry). So, instead of grabbing the lip liner, line the edge of your lips with a highlighter stick. It will create a barrier and prevent the lipstick from bleeding. You can also enhance your cupid's bow by using a highlighter with shimmer.
Finish the look with a lovely Younique Lucrative Lip Gloss, a rich spread of color, very smooth and highly-pigmented -- bright, bold, or subtle .

The Uses of a Toothbrush in Your Beauty Routine


  1. Use as a spoolie to tame your eyebrows. Spray it with hairspray to keep the hairs in place.
  2. To exfoliate the lips: with warm water, or vaseline, gently rub your lips with a toothbrush.
  3. Use it to clean hard-to-reach places, such as combs, brushes and your hair dryer.
  4. Use it to de-clump your lashes after applying the mascara.
  5. It's a great tool to exfoliate your cuticles.
  6. If you don't have a comb, try using a toothbrush to tease your hair.
  7. The same goes for the annoying fly-aways: spray the toothbrush with hairspray and use it to smooth your edges down.
  8. Are you having issues with an ingrown hair? Exfoliate it with the Younique Awake Facial Cleansing on any ingrown hairs left after shaving or waxing.
