Good Morning Makeup!

Pinterest made it effortless to throw together some of my favorite looks.  Here's some classic makeup looks that should be a staple for every woman!


The Wing: 

Tip:  Extend the length of the brow.

The Flawless Glow:

 

 Tip:  Keep the hydration on the outer part of the face to avoid a greasy look.

Colorful Pout:

 

Tip:  Don't go too heavy on the eyes; lips and eyes should not compete.

 

Black Smoke:

Tip:  Make sure the brows are strong enough to complete the look.

Eye Color:

Tip:  (For a non 80's look) Pick one color and blend neutrals to compliment. 

Hope you have enjoyed! 

DIY Project 2: Indian Garment

Our daughter JaLynn received a beautiful indian garment from the wedding we attended this past Nov. With colors of red and gold it complimented the bridesmaid dresses perfectly. It wasn't soon after the wedding she could no longer fit in the top.

Too pretty to go to waste..

Yesterday, I took a couple hours to sew up the ends and fill the neck hole with the sleeves I cut into two halves. With a little stuffing, hand stitching, and a sewing machine; I now have a beautiful decorative pillow.

Happy New Year!

This holiday season I decided to tackle a couple DIY projects as more of an innovative way to be thankful for the ones you love.

Only doing a little scrap booking in the past- I was new to the craft game; learning as I went along.

My first project developed from a pinterest pin.  Originally coming from fleemarketstyle blog- this project was beautifully done and of course inspired me to recreate.  After knowing the key ingredient (Mod Podge) I was off to Michaels.

In November, my husband was the best man at a childhood friends wedding. It was the first Sikh Indian Wedding the both of us have attended and It. Was. Amazing!  After the event we wound up bringing home two programs along with enough bangles to completely cover both of my arms compliments of my daughter.  The paper to the wedding program was absolutely fabulous.. I think you know what happens next :)

The paper was extremely thick and wasn't pliable what so ever. I was having a hard time getting it to stay down on the circular ball using the ModPodge.  I soaked it in water in hopes for the paper to give a little.  Luckily, the hubby pulled through by shaving the back side to thin the paper.  This allowed the paper to be super thin. With some placement planning, gold leafing, glitter, and Mod Podge- this sealed the deal!

 

I hope they enjoyed receiving them as much as I enjoyed making them :)
