Do you live boldly? I’ve done a few bold things in my life like move to Australia by myself, I’ve gone sky diving, I’ve gone bungy jumping, and I’ve walked down a few sketchy streets, but I wouldn’t say that I’ve lived boldly on a daily basis until more recently. I’ve never been much a lipstick wearer, let alone red lipstick, but in the past couple of years, I’ve been rocking a bold lip! But those bold lip colors are super drying! And chapstick just doesn’t cut it, so I’ve been DIYing my own little Watermelon Kiwi Lip Sugar Scrub to prep my lips prior to applying my lipstick.

Do you love wearing colorful lipsticks but hate how drying they can be? Use a lip scrub when you’re getting ready to make your puckered pout perfect for a bright, bold color! 

The recipe is below, but first, you’ll need a few ingredients. Don’t worry, you don’t actually need a watermelon unless you want to snack on it while you make the sugar scrub like I did! Instead, just use a few drop of watermelon flavoring which you can find online along with these tiny clear pots.

Lip sugar scrub, then chapstick, then lip liner, then a bright, bold lipstick! Ready to go?
