Day 78/365: Bag Crap

19 Mar 2011 Photo of the Day

This is my everyday bag, I used it when going to market, grocery, or when we go out for just a quick stroll. But on that day, the strap went crazy! Snap! Upon coming home, I just fixed by stitching each end of the strap. And now it's good as new :)

Try Homemade Lip Gloss

As promised, here's my version of my homemade lip gloss :) I tried my own lip gloss since the things I needed were already available at home. I had those even before I plan to make lip gloss. If you plan to make your own but you don't have the supplies, please consider the cost buying the things needed versus the cost of over the counter lip gloss. And I suggest you make small amount like good for a week as the shelf life of homemade lip gloss is shorter especially if you're using your old lipstick or old make-up.

You will need: alcohol; Vaseline / Petroleum Jelly; red pigment make-up from blusher or eyeshadow or lipstick; microwavable small container or small glass bowl; make-up tool stick for mixing; and small container for your homemade lip gloss.

Clean and sterilize things you'll be using.

Melt Vaseline in a microwave oven for 20 seconds using a microwavable container. Microwave times will vary. Remove from microwave.

Add small amount of your desired pigment for your lip gloss. Mix well. Do color test on your clean hand. Continue adding pigment until you reach desired color. Mix until completely incorporated.

Pour the lip gloss into your prepared container. Allow to cool and set before using the lip gloss.

Day 70/365: Caramel Sauce Ala Frost

11 Mar 2011 Photo of the Day

I was actually craving for chocolate cupcake with caramel sauce.  I remember when I was working in Manila, one of my office mate often ordered a homemade chocolate cupcake with caramel sauce for us.  The caramel sauce was so perfect and I loved it!  I was hoping I could make that too, so I tried one of the recipe from allrecipes.co.uk.  The recipe was a bit watery for me so I experimented of adding cornstarch on my last additions of cream.  I've made additions of cream and cornstarch till I reached my desired creaminess.  After it cooled down, I was surprised it turned out to be frosty.  In fairness, the caramel taste and sweetness was just perfect.  I enjoyed the caramel flavor top with my favorite chocolate cake :)

Day 69/365: My Homemade Lip Gloss

10 Mar 11 Photo of the Day

I was searching on where to purchase online or store of Carmex & EOS lip balm as both have good reviews and wanted to try.  I'm running out of my regular lip balm and wants to try a new brand.  So while on search mode, I just realized there's homemade lip balm and lip gloss going on for years.  What's surprising though, the tutorial videos are mostly done by teenagers, amazing haha! So yeah, being a mom I'm challenged cos what on earth I never heard of that before and if I could turn back time for sure I'll be making for myself and for my friends too.  Okay, so I'm happy I just got all the ingredients and things needed to make a simple lip gloss (because if not I won't buy those ingredients and things cos it will turn out more expensive and might as well buy a regular lip gloss), so the next day I just made a small portion enough for my cutey container and just for trial purposes.   And it works, perfect!  If I have free time, I will post my version here.
