I am very excited today as I just made something very effective just now and so want to share it with you all immediately! It is a delicious lip scrub which has plumping effects on lips! We all know how costly the lip plumping glosses are! But all of us wish to have luscious, full lips nevertheless! I had read somewhere that cinnamon has lip plumping properties and use of cinnamon can also make lips go pink! So this morning I quickly made up a lip scrub, the things you would need are:
Ingredients Required:
1. Cinnamon
2. Honey
3. Sweet almond oil
4. Sugar
5. Vanilla essence(optional). I forgot to include the pic, sorry 🙁
6. A clean container to store.
Step 1: roast the cinnamon pieces on a tawa and grind it in a mortar pestle.
Step 2: take a small quantity of the freshly made cinnamon powder and add it to your mixing katori.
Step3: add half a teaspoon of almond oil to it
Step4: pour in some honey now
Step5: now add the grainy sugar
Step 6: mix all of these into a smooth paste
Step7: this step is optional. Add 4 drops of vanilla essence to it. I just added this to give a delicious twist to this lip scrub ☺ this is also for those who donot like the fragrance of cinnamon.
Your scrub should look like this!
Step8: Store your scrub in a clean container and keep it in the fridge. Use a small quantity each time for gently scrubbing the lips. You will be surprised at how pink and luscious your lips look. the plumping effect lasts for an hour on me. I have slightly pigmented lips but look how my lips appear after using this scrub. These are my bare lips with just a drop of almond oil over them. I am soooooo in love with this scrub! 😀 the brown pigmentation is completely gone! Yay!
The only con I find with this is you will want to lick it off even before the scrubbing finishes! 😉 do try it ladies! And let me know.
Until next time, keep smiling, keep glowing!:)

😉 this was the one i was talking about,bujhli? ( i hope this aditi is my roommate aditi!)
moderation:(
awww 🙁
wonderful DIY aparajita…
hw long can we stoer this?
you can store it for 4 to 5 days in fridge shruti 🙂 after that te sugar granules dissolves 🙁
ummm dat sounds lovely… Bt does dis really lighten ur lip colour i hav brown lips and i so dnt like dem… 🙁
it removes the brown layer of the lips deeya.. n cinnamon brings a flush of color to the lip. use it every alternate day.. am sure you wil see the diffrnce 🙂
wowww.. Aparajita i tried it and it worked wonders for my lips nothn ever has shown such grt results before neither cream nor ghee.. Bt dis is jssst awesome M in love wid it <3.. Thanks… 🙂
does lips become too plumping..mine is naturally plumped…but because of high hot tea intake my lips has became little pigmented…want to try to lighten the pigmentation but afraid of too much plumping
no no divya.. dont worry.. it wont give an artificial look 🙂 cinnamon just causes a tingling effect which brngs a rush of blood underneath the lip skin. the plumping effect lasts for an hour or so.after that u r left with pink,soft lips 🙂
tea intake causes pigmentation??i never knew..anyhow i take jus a smal cup of chaai in the evening.. 🙂
Thanks Aparajita…its really a great help for me….
Yes Rama, high intake of hot beverage especially with caffeine cause lip pigmentation. earlier i also didn’t believe it but its true. now i am trying hard to replace cup of tea/coffee with green tea.
Thanks Aparajitha.
you are welcome Raji 🙂
Wow.. great aparajita.. 🙂 m in love wid dis scrub..
