How to make oil bronzer:

Methods:
• Fill a glass bottle with clear, liquid coconut oil. Use a funnel to help guide the oil into the bottle, if necessary. Make sure that you get coconut oil that is already in a liquid state. This is very important. Plain coconut oil is solid at room temperature. If you can't find liquid coconut oil, try another fast or medium-absorbing oil: 
Fast absorbing oils include: apricot kernel, canola, grapeseed, hazelnut, and safflower.
Medium-absorbing oils include: argan, jojoba, olive, sunflower, and sweet almond.

• Add some essential oils if you want a nice fragrance. Not all oils smell great. If you'd like something that smells nicer, you'll need to add some essential oil. Start with 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Close the bottle, shake it to mix, and add more dropped if needed. Popular choices include: bergamot, lavender, and sandalwood.

• Mix the cocoa powder, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Use a fork or mini whisk to get all of the clumps out. This is so that you can see what color it will be before you add it into the oil. How much you use of each powder depends on how dark you want your oil bronzer to be.
Use more cocoa powder if you want a darker color.
Use more nutmeg for a sunkissed look.
 Use more cinnamon for additional glow.
 If you want something shimmery, use 4 teaspoons of bronze or copper cosmetic-grade mica powder instead of the cocoa, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

• Once you are happy with the combination, add the powders to the bottle. Use a funnel to help guide the mixture into the bottle.

• Close the bottle, and shake it to mix everything together. Keep shaking until the oil is a uniform color.

• Use the oil. Spread the oil over your arms and legs to give them that healthy, sun-kissed look. Remember that this is not a sunscreen, and that it will not protect you from getting sunburned.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you...

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils:

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil. The vitamin E oil will help make your lips nice and soft. • Stir in your flavor oil until the texture is smooth and the color is eve...
