Have you ever bought anything that you have regretted later? A few posts earlier I had shared with you my recent obsession with lip balms, and an unfortunate outcome of it was this impulsive buy of Vaseline aloe vera lip therapy. To put it mildly, it's worthless. Hence, Smriti and I decided to make use of our alchemical skills ;) and turn it into something useful instead of letting it expire in some dark corner.
So, the idea basically, is to alter the texture, fragrance, and moisturising properties of a store bought lip balm which does absolutely nothing for your lips.
Ready?
There are those days when your sweet tooth is over active and craving for something really nice, and you open your fridge or your snack cupboard only to find it uninhabited by anything remotely close to that scrumptious dessert image your mind was conjuring. And then you slam the door shut feeling all saddened. We've all had that moment. Now, in times like these, does "crunchy biscuit layered with chocloate cream to make a quick and must we say yummy cake" make those antennae on your ears stand up in hope?
Yes? To make things better, let us tell you that it barely takes 10 minutes to whip this up!
Well then, let us begin :)

One of the brands I love the most amongst all is
Maybelline with its variety of products at such affordable prices. Totally
budget-friendly for a student like me. Half of my makeup stash is dominated by
it! Hmm...maybe I should do an exclusive Maybelline post. But coming back to
the review...
The Moisture Extreme range of lipsticks from Maybelline
are by far the best in their class, with inbuilt lip balm, SPF 15, and a good
number of 16 shades. With their buttery smooth texture and great pigmentation
these have quickly become my favourite! I picked two everyday wear shades from
the array, B41 Chestnut, and B42 Buff.
