July Makeup Looks... Haircut Reveal!

 Hey Y'all!


Just FYI it was extremely hot here most all of July, and some of which we were traveling, so there aren't many "looks" for July. There is the HAIRCUT reveal, however. 

It's not exactly what I asked for, my hair is different, but the top is shorter than what I showed her, however it's close & still cute, and much cooler.

Asked For:




Looks:

1) Dang it's hot!



2)


3) Camping in Indiana.


4) At MIL's in IN.

5) Last full day in IN.

6) Much hotter at home.


7)

8) I could only tell this was different from 7 by the hair, lol.


9) Clearly feeling myself here!

We'll talk about this Wet 'n Wild x Alice in Wonderland mascara soon...



10)


I'm sure there were days I forgot, just like I know I've forgotten some for August since I have one day in my camera roll and it's the 9th...


How hot is it where you are? Let me know in the comments below!


Have a great day,

How To: Calibrate Cricut for Print Then Cut

 Hey Y'all!

Let's get right into it and start the process of calibrating our Cricut for Print then Cut!


First open up Design Space, then click on the hamburger menu (the 3 lines in the top left). From there choose Calibration:



Select your printer.

Prep your printed sheet on your mat.


Load the mat!


The machine will then start the process...


The answer here for me was No...

The machine then started the next step in the process:





 After continuing the machine prompted we do the process again.

Start from the beginning and repeat all the steps...

This time the answer was yes, but we still proceed with step 2 via the prompts on screen.




This is about one of the closest I've ever got!

Next step:


It isn't perfect, but it's closer than it was previously...








All done!
If yours is still off farther than you'd like you can repeat the process again.

I've never had it be perfect, and there is a know issue with print then cut being a bit off no matter the amount of times in a row you calibrate. Hopefully one day Cricut fixes the issues.

Do you have problems with Calibrate/Print then Cut? Share in the comments below!

Have a great day,

August Everyday Makeup Shelf

 Hey Y'all!


No mini review this time, since I have touched base on how much I like all the IBY Beauty* products before.

**Use code CraftinWife25 for 25% off your order.



For August I pulled some of my larger palettes, for two reasons:

1) I haven't used them lately.

2) I don't think the larger makeup items will make it in the first few trips. (we'll have to get space and such sorted out.)

I left out the IBY singles, I'm going to use them a few times then probably pass them along simply because I never reach for singles. I also just pulled one or two lipsticks in each color family. (I sort by nudes, reds, pinks, purples, everything else.) Face stuff stayed mostly the same. Lastly, for blush/bronzer/highlight I pulled all the BH truffle palettes I have.


August Shelf:

I may injure my husband if he doesn't quit doing his beard care over my makeup shelf. The bathroom isn't huge, but it's not that small...
