DIY Healthy Beaty: Loose Face Powder!




Since I've gotten better acquainted with essential oils and natural remedies over the past few years, I've become a big experiment-er. 

My first attempts weren't always successful, but the cool thing about  DIY beauty, is that you can learn as you go, and you can almost always "fix" your mistake, without wasting ingredients.

If the thought of making a homemade lip balm or a homemade beauty product is overwhelming to you, then read on! 

Because I am about to give you a super easy DIY recipe that you can whip up right now and be using  five minutes from now :)






And the very best part that just tickles me pink?!!!  This beauty DIY, cost me about $2.50 to make, including the jar!!!! 

Read on my frugal friend. Do your skin and your budget a favor  :) 

Homemade Loose Powder (for face)

I have a lot of trouble with break outs, and this powder has been great for me!  Before learning to make my own, I used Cover Girl loose powder...this homemade powder covers just as well, if not better than CG, and it lasts longer too!

Please note: I eyeballed my measurements and you will have to also, to get the shade that you want. 
The powder will cover  the first day and you will be able to match it to your skin tone, but don't be alarmed if it doesn't smooth on as well as drug store powder. 
Within a few days, it always covers much better! 
I'm not really sure why, but just something I have noticed.

Now, here's how you do it...

Go to your pantry, and see if you have cornstarch and cocoa powder.  Organic, non-GMO is the best option, but if you only have the regular stuff, you can give it a try with what you have on hand. :)
Start with 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part cocoa, and go from there (likely adding more cornstarch, a little at a time.)
Once you get the desired match and consistency, put it in a container with an air-tight lid, and apply with your normal powder brush!  That easy!  BAM! 

TRY IT! And let me know your opinion in the comments :)


Some cool facts:  
Cocoa has many health benefits, especially for your skin!
It renews and firms new skin cells, and is hydrating to your skin!
Cornstarch is known to absorb excess oil, draw out bacteria, as well as provide relief from skin irritations.

That Time My 9 Year Old Gave Me The Bird

An old Cherokee Indian, teaching his grandson about life...“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.  “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”   He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.  The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”   The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” A few months ago, I told my son (9) to go take out the trash. He didn't do it. In fact, almost every time I asked him to do it, he would "forget." When I found him outside, I said: "Hey, I told you to take out the trash." He got a bad attitude. Rolle...

Hey...Let's Catch Up

Hey guys.... I know I've been somewhat absent lately, and so, I want to take some time to catch up! Before I get into it all though, I want to say thank you to everyone who reads my blog... When I first started Crazies & Daisies, I did it as a hobby and for an outlet... I never saw it going anywhere and put off starting it for years because of the fear of  judgement... and failure...and more judgement  Once it took off though, I started letting you guys in more and more, and you kept on reading. Y'all are my inspiration, and my motivation to keep writing.  So Thank You! Now for the catching up... this is gonna be deep... I don't do shallow, I suck at sugar coating stuff, and most of all, I feel it is almost a calling of mine-- to be real with people. To let them in on my messy, unfiltered, unedited life. So here goes... Life has been full of highs and lows for the past several months. One big c...
