Hey BR Beauties,
I recently started making my own bath bombs to supplement my Lush addiction and I have been finding them quite fun to make and work really well (fizz and all)
So I know this has probably been asked soo many times but threads seem to be eluding me at the moment...
How many of you have made or do make your own products?
What is your favorite one to make? and how did you come up with your best recipe?

I've always been going to try and make my own bubble bars but I'm not quite sure where I'd get some of the ingredients. I've made my own soap and candles before from boxed kits and but usually the most creative I get is mixing make up shades together to create new colours.
Your bath bombs sound really good :)

LOVE making my own stuff! Haven't got as much time or money to invest in ingredients right now but I have enjoyed it in the past.
Have made all kinds of things from bath bombs/salts to body creams, perfumes/body sprays, cosmetics (especially eyeshadow, I have my own recipes and formulas I have developed which honestly are really good if I say so myself - wore one of my eyeshadows in labour and still had it looking pretty good that same night!). Was going to start up a small indie makeup business last year but it was hard being the primary caregiver to my baby, in a new town, and I just didn't have much time to myself at all! Its on the back burner to do later in life, as I really do feel I have what it takes, I still get people stopping me in the supermarket to ask where they can buy the shadows I'm wearing!
I get migraines from perfume and have sensitive skin too, so thats where it all began really, just trying to make things I can use myself. Back in 2008 there wasnt as much gentle, chemical-free kind of stuff, its just become more popular recently, so I made lots of my own so I could still enjoy nice products but without the things that dont work for me.

I've never made my own, but someone I went to school with makes bath salts and shower disks. Apparently, if you add lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus oil to the shower disks they are great for treating colds and blocked noses (especially if you don't have a bath to add essential oils to).

I used to do alot of DIY fresh face masques and hair masques but they were pretty much one usuage only and didn't smell nice. I did like the results I got from the papaya, egg and pumpkin masque but that thing stunk and would be pricier to make here than in the tropics. I did use to make an yogurt and tea concoction when I first arrived and it did give me really soft skin.
Ooooh great thread x
I used to like making my own moisturiser when I couldn't find anything thick enough but now I've fallen in love with Lush, I am too lazy now. Would love to make bath bombs but I just don't have the patience lol. I love the sound of the shower disks though, may have to give that one ago x
