One of our favorite ways to #bendtherules is creating beauty products with items you can easily find around your home. When HP asked us to come up with a way to showcase their latest x360 (with laptop, tablet, stand and tent modes all in one!), it was a no brainer to share four of our very favorite DIY beauty products and encourage you to think outside the beauty shop and into your own cupboards.
Our most popular mask, this one is uber-moisturizing and simple. Only two ingredients (with an optional third!)- who says beauty has to be complicated or expensive?
I can’t pick a favorite mode, but this tablet one sure is awesome. Because the x360 has a touch screen, you can completely bend the keyboard back and use it flat- just like a tablet! This makes it great for reading on the go.
Homemade Face Mask with Pumpkin
Don’t think pumpkin is just for pie and lattes! We love this mask to exfoliate, smooth and moisturize. An all around power house product that smells (and, honestly, TASTES) delicious.
This a all around fave: great for everything from the shower to an at-home manicure and even makes a great gift. Prepare for a spa like experience with this one! Choose your favorite essential oil or make your own blend.
Ever tried to use your laptop while following a tutorial or recipe? (I’ve honest to God cracked a screen while doing this- precarious propping against flour sacks actually doesn’t work…) No need to worry with this HP x360- the cover bends over to create a tent shape that supports itself with no slipping or accidents.
DIY Mint Lip Duo (Balm & Scrub!)
Treat your lips to two refreshing treatments! First, use the scrub to exfoliate dry skin away, then create a soothing balm for long-lasting moisture.
Get ready for another truly awesome x360 feature: the stand. Angle the screen back just far enough to let you watch your favorite videos! I’m totally using this mode to try out some smoky eye video tutorials. The clutch fact about all these modes? Even with some of the coolest viewing options, this is STILL a laptop. Use it for everything from serious business to serious play.
As a HUGE Meghan Trainor fan (pretty sure I’ll never be tired of All About That Bass and have you listened to Like I’m Gonna Lose You, her duet with John Legend?), I’ve loved learning more about her tour and finding out how she’s integrating social media and some of my blog favorites (like Bri Emery of Designlovefest!). Head over to her tour page to learn more and get involved!

Hey A&C Readers- HP is on tour with Meghan Trainor and we’re proud to be a #bendtherules partner. Today we’re showcasing the HP x360- an amazing product with 4 modes: Laptop, Tablet, Tent, and Stand. Thanks so much for supporting our sponsors!
This is so neat! I always feel like I need a computer when I travel but don’t take one because I prefer a tablet. This totally solves it. Also, just saved that lip scrub/balm, it sounds delicious (I mean perfect for lips). 🙂
I should whip up this mask. My skin this entire week has been acting as if I’m in Canada (dry and yuck looking), yet it’s summer-like weather here! What gives man. Pfth.
I’m kinda liking the tablet/laptop all in one. Would definitely take up a lot less space on my desk!
I’ve been so resistant to buying a tablet because I feel like I’d be lost without a keyboard. And I’m always wishing I had a touchpad on my laptop! This 360 is genius!
This sugar scrub smells incredible and makes my skin feel so smooooth! I love how creative you are – making beauty products AT HOME! What a fun new toy you have to get even more creative with <3
Seriously though. ‘All About that Bass’ is my favorite workout jam – just crank it up and dance out those calories! 😉 this all-in-one biz is genius…soo many times we’re trying out recipes from the iPad in a dangerous balancing act. I could tootally use this stand!
I love the lip scrub idea, that’s a new one I haven’t seen before! And the pumpkin mask? That may just have me thinking of Thanksgiving all over again!
Ooooooh! Trying that pumpkin mask for sure! I was actually buying a pumpkin mask for those skin benefits for way more money than making it myself with cost! You’re such a smarty-pants!!!
