Hello,
So I'm super excited about all my birthday presents! Everyone was so very generous and really blessed me! Thank you to my awesome family!!! I love you guys! I used a few already and wanted to share some looks and crafts that have come from these thoughtful presents.
something you all should know if you don't already is: I pretty much love pink! I have a pink keyboard...and mouse...yea... and I also wore pink everyday for an entire school year because I'm silly like that. So now that that's out there, lets check out this stuff!
DIY canvas tote:
(using stencils and my new Cricut machine)
Oooo, sparkles!
here's my new bag
and my tools
I used my Cricut machine to cut out the flower and I already had bought a 'Martha Stuart Crafts' stencil pack (on clearance) and I also already had the fabric paint from a previous project. In regards to the paint: "Is that...?" you ask, "Why yes, it is sparkly neon pink fabric paint!!!"
I love the look of raw bland canvas with the bright sparkly pink designs
and I mean "whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed"
lol!
I used the flower as a sort of backward stencil. I really liked the way the canvas was soaking up the paint and the softer look it created when I used the flower in reverse.
As you can see I used the other stencils in the regular way :)
very fun and simple craft!
Naked 3 Palette, oh mai gosh! Well it's not that new but it's new to me and I love it!
here's me being weird, taking selfies and what not...lol!
This is a beautiful set of eye shadows by Urban Decay! Lots of rosy neutrals pretty shades to play with.
This was my first go at it, so here's what I did:
1. urban decay eye shadow primer, samples come with the naked palette three along with a nifty double ended brush!
2. lightest shade in the pallet, called Strange, it's a creamy matte color and I put this in the inner corner and then brushed it all over the rest of my eye lid all the way up to just underneath my brow.
3. I dabbed on my Mabeline New York 24 hour color tattoo creme eye shadow color 'Inked in Pink' (got this at target, it's a soft pink with a metallic shine to it) I put on the lower portion of my eyelid. (it's a creme shadow so it helps powders stick and look really great)
4. I used a fluffy eye shadow brush to put the color 'Limit' into my crease. It's a slighly darker matte pink shadow.
5. I took a smaller detail brush to put the color 'Nooner' into the outer corner of my eye lid and blended it into my crease as well.
*I was considering stopping there, it was a very nice soft look but of course since it's new I wanted to try some more...hehe...
6. I used my finger to add the color 'Trick' on the center of my lid. It's a rose gold color and with a lot of shimmer, I was nervous about getting glitter all over my face so that's the reason I used my finger :)
7. I tight lined with dark brown eyeliner and used my powder eyeliner by bare minerals on the top outer portion of my lash line.
8. I took my white eyeliner to tight line the bottom rim
Woah this is a lot! Sorry!
9. I used my favorite eyeliner on the outer third of the bottom lash line . It's an Urban Decay glide on eye pencil called 'underground'. It's a shimmer-y, pink-y brown (i don't know, i just love it)
10. And then... I put the color 'Nooner' a dark pink matte shade (the same one I used for the outer corner of my eye shadow) underneath my bottom lashes to set my eyeliner and create a soft blended look.
11. last step, umm... last two steps: curl eyelashes and put on mascara.
I finished the look with a soft pink lip liner and a lip gloss by bare minerals.
Pretty, Pink, and Done! Ha!
Thanks for hanging with me and I hope you have a great day!
love, Cait
