Giveaway: Babushka's Beauty Secrets

BABUSHKA'S BEAUTY SECRETS
By Raya Ruder and Susan Campos


Who wouldn't love to have their own Ukrainian grandmother, or babushka, to share beauty secrets with them. Well, I don't have my own, but can still benefit from Raisa Ruder's. This Esthetician to the stars is sharing her time-tested beauty techniques on how to look flawless, naturally. Just with a quick trip to the pantry can give you the beauty boost you are looking for.

Just a sneak peak of the recipes include:
  • Skin-saving Soufflés - whipped up wonders that shrink pores, brighten skin, and diminish lines
  • Chocolate weight-loss wrap- a moment on the hips, tightens, tucks, and nips!
  • Hot hair- a cayenne pepper blend that leaves locks silky, soft, and full
  • PediPure- a soothing, smoothing foot scrub made with milk and mint
  • Lustrous Lashes - a simple castor oil serum that thickens and lengthens
  • Perfect Pucker- a mix of salt, green tea, and fruit that plumps up lips naturally
  • And much more...

My Review:

I enjoyed this book. Small & compact but full of fun tips! The cover says "All Natural And Better Than Botox", and the book is. I always love trying simple, natural and home made beauty recipes. Just another fun way to play in the kitchen. I tried the egg white mask first, which was a great way to use up extra egg whites I had after making custard. It tightened my skin and was so easy to do.

I also made the coconut lip gloss which was amazing! So simple to do and doesn't have all the harmful preservatives. Next I want to try making some of the tinted glosses in the book.

I have a few other items I am dying to try... body glitter would be kinda fun for this summer and the ingrown hair remedy sounds simple and easy.
