DIY Friday:: Make Your Own Sea Salt Spray

PicMonkey Collage123

Why spend $5-$25 on sea salt spray to achieve beachy waves when you can make it yourself in under 5 minutes for a fraction of the cost?  Its super simple, which means even I can do it, so you can too!  You will need a few items and I’m pretty sure 1 if not 2 of these items you already have.

==========================================================

1. 1 Cup of water (you should have this at home)

2. 1  1/2 Teaspoon of Sea Salt (there’s a 50/50 chance you have this)

3. 1 Teaspoon of Hair Gel (there’s a pretty good chance you have this too, or you can be like me and steal it from your brothers bathroom…) 

4. A spray bottle ( you can pick one up from the drugstore for under $2 or be green and use an empty bottle)

5. A few drops of Argan Oil ***(this can be costly, see if a friend has some and ask to steal a few drops!)

 

Heat the water in the microwave or on the stove and add the salt, gel and argan oil and stir until dissolved.  Once the water has cooled pour it into your spray bottle.  I make sure before every use I give the bottle a good shake.  Its really that simple!!

*** While it may seem counterproductive the oil isn’t optional.  This is what keeps the spray from making your hair look dry and feeling brittle and hay like.  My hair is fine and leans towards oily but if you have dry or coarse hair you will need to add a little more. ***

Be A Bombshell…. Lash Out Mascara

One of the brands that Ipsy introduced me to is Be A Bombshell.  I have liked all the products that I have tried so I’m excited to try this mascara.  However, it stinks, like really stinks!  Hopefully I won’t be able to smell it on my eyelashes…

NYX Butter Gloss in Crème Brulee

If you haven’t gotten on the Butter Gloss band wagon, you need to jump right on.  Seriously, stop reading this and head to Ulta, Target, wherever you can get NYX; I’ll wait…. Ok are you back? Good.  Now if you have the patience of Job and somehow haven’t yet opened up the tube of buttery goodness, please do so now… Not only does it smell delicious but it is so smooth and glossy… this makes my Ipsy bag, Thank you!!

Ofra Universal Brow Pencil

This is a new brand to me and I love trying brow products so I will let you guys know how this pans out.  I will say this, I’m not sure how “Universal” this pencil is.  Granted it doesn’t have a red tint like a lot of brow pencils do, but I can see it possibly being too dark for those with light brows… We shall see.

Realtree For Her

This is also a new brand for me, yay for new brands and products!!  With one spritz I smelled orchids and amber.  It is a nice floral woodsy scent.  According to their website Realtree for Her opens with “the sweet taste of pomegranate, a hint of persimmon and an exotic scent of orchids. It blends with lotus blossom and champaca flower and it’s followed by the rich scent of amber, the transient scent of violets and the depth of mahogany wood.”
