Hello everyone! I was recently offered the opportunity to choose a pair of eyeglasses from GlassesShop.com to try out and review.   I�ve always wondered how  ordering glasses online  would compare to the ones offered at the ophthalmologist�s office, so I jumped at the opportunity.  GlassesShop.com offers  prescription glasses  and prescription sunglasses  for much cheaper prices than those offered at the ophthalmologist�s.   As far as selection, GlassesShop.com can�t be beaten.  They offer a wide selection of styles and colours .   If you do not  need prescription glasses and want to wear glasses as a fashion  accessory ,  you can also buy many pairs without prescription lenses.   The site also offers a tool that   allows  you to virtually try on glasses by uploading your photo.  It�s a great option for someone unsure of what shape would look best on them.   I chose the  GrandPra...

Hello everyone!  If, like me, you hate the chemical-laden, store-bought deodorants,  y ou can make your own natural deodorant from scratch � in both  solid  and spray form.  Since I�ve already posted a  DIY solid deodorant recipe , I want to share my favourite spray deodorant formula, too.  This one is way easier and quicker to make.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 60 ml (2 fl oz) witch hazel (astringent) 12 drops of essential oil - Choose an oil with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties such as, sweet orange, tea tree, lemongrass, lavender, etc. Method: Pour your ingredients into a spray bottle and screw the top back on.  Shake well before use.  It's super simple to make and it  really does work ! Have you ever tried using a DIY deodorant?  Do you prefer a solid or a spray formula? Have a great day!

Hello everyone! A few years ago I posted a DIY recipe for solid perfume .  In that recipe I used beeswax (back then I was not a vegan), so today I decided to give you a vegan   alternative . Ingredients: 2 tsp  candelilla wax or soy wax  2 tsp sweet almond oil 40-50 drops of your favourite essential oil(s) Note - floral scents are uplifting and romantic, vanilla is warm and sweet, and wood scents can be grounding and calming.   Method: Melt wax and carrier oil in microwave.  Or if you want to double boil, follow the method in this post:   DIY: Solid perfume Add essential oil(s).   While your perfume mix is still liquid, pour it into the tins.  Wait until the mix cools and hardens, before moving the tins or closing the lids. Solid perfumes are easy to package, carry, and re-apply ; also handmade perfumes make wonderful gifts. What other kinds of DIY beauty recipes would you like to see on Cosette's Beauty Pantry ?  

Hello everyone! As many of you may already know, I struggled with acne for years.  I have spent a lot of time looking for ways to clear up my acne.   What eventually helped me clear my skin was a clean, vegan diet and using natural, homemade skincare products .   However, I'm still dealing with  acne scars on my face.   Before I became vegan, I used honey and yogurt (like my  DIY: Greek yoghurt, oatmeal and honey facial mask   and my   DIY: Micro-dermabrasion paste )  to help fade acne scars and both ingredients work really well, but now I'm only using   plant-based ingredients .   Today I want to share the  all-natural , vegan facial serum I'm currently using.  If you have any form of hyperpigmentation   on your skin,   you are going to love this DIY ! Ingredients: 1 tbs sweet almond oil  2 drops of lemon essential oil 4 drops of sandalwood essential oil  Sweet almond oil  is a wonderf...
