Comparing Cosmetic Gels

In this post, I am going to be sharing with you one of my finals for school. In one of my class we were given options for our final. As my teacher was explaining all the options. One in particular caught my eye. I saw that we could do an experiments. I jumped all over the opportunity to do some experiments with cosmetics ingredients. I decided that the easiest one would be creating gels. The overall project took me one week. I am super satisfied with the results and excited to share it with you.

Lemon and Ylang Ylang Nail Oil

In this blog post, I am going to be sharing my Nail Oil formulation. This formulation came by an accident. I was originally trying to create a nail butter to dupe the one from Burt's Bees. That one is super popular and super famous. As you will see in the formulation. I did not add enough beeswax to thicken it to butter. This Nail Oil has the perfect balance of light but still really make your nails moisturized and conditioned. If you really want to make this formulation luxurious then you can add the version of vitamin E that is for antioxidants. Thankfully this formulation is not too complicated. Let's get started!

Music Festival Glow Mist

California is heating up and I am ready for summer. When I think of summer, I think of golden hour, the beach, and sun kissed skin. To set the mood even more Coachella is in three days. If your do not know what that is it is a Music Festival for the Valley. It is pretty iconic. You especially see indie brands producing products for Festival Session. Body Gems, Neon Pigments, so extra glitter, and the list goes on. From all those products and my yearn for summer. I created a Shimmery Body Mist. The best part about this formulation is it is four simple ingredients.
