D.I.Y Newspaper Nails

Heyy Bloggies.
It was requested that a show you all how to do Newspaper Nails. They are very chic and have a certain edge to them. They worked well for me during the time I typed on newspaper staff. If you wanna achieve these nails heres how:
Pre-prep: Gather Running Alchol, a good clear topcoat, a light colored nail polish with little to no glitter or relfects in it, a little cup(to pour alochol into while nail soaks), and about 10 to 12 pieces of newspaper bigger than your nail.





Va-la! your nails are complete!

D.I.Y. Facial Masks.pt1

Hello lovelies,

I was inspired by Jay's post a while back on her homemade hair mask. Last night I decided to make my own facial and hair mask. I think I am going to start trying out new ones each month and share it with you all if it turns out good. My hair masks last night pretty much was a fail but the facial mask actaully turned out pretty good. The mask consisted of 1/2c oats and 1/4 c baking powder. this is about how the mixture should look, I doubled mine though

I left the mask on for about 15 minuted until it started to dry then washed off. At that time my skin didn't feel much different but the next day my skin felt more airy and somewhat smooth. I cant say that is gave me a baby's bottom smoothness but it was a nice change from my daily facial cleanser. Currently though this I am on a mission to find a homemade mask that makes my skin smooth, airy, and super duper clean along with adding moisture.


Anyone have any good homemade recipes to try?

D.I.Y. Eyeshadow Pallete-old brush case

Hello Loveries,
This year I really want to start reorganizing my makeup and other aspects of my life. Today though I thought I would start off small and make my eye shadows a nice home. They use to live in a giant 40 piece box that was from the brand Flirt! which you can be bought at Khouls. It was there Holiday palette which if you can still get your hands on I would suggest because for any that has every heard of them they also are distributed and created by the Lancome Company which also makes M.A.C. makeup so that means there is a plethora of dupes. (which I will make a anther post) This palette however is something anyone can do and it can be changed up in various ways. I used a hard cover brush case. I think this works best but a DVD or CD case will also work just fine. ( I will do tutorial posts on those also)

Shall we begin?
To start you will need :
*A hard cover brush holder(I got mine at Big Lots)
*Magnets(Large and Small)
*Glue
*A Knife or Carpet Cutter

1st) Remove the brush holders. Carefully cut them out with your cutting tool.

2nd) After the holders are cut place and fit a large magnet to size.
(old fridge magnets work well)3rd) Glue in your magnet.
4th) Fit and place in eye shadows. If shadows are not already magnetized fit and glue magnets on.

Wa-la! A brand Spanking new palette are your hands. Off to watch Lie to Me.
Anyone else watch this show?
