Beauty Tag (101-125)

 Hey Y'all!

I decided to keep my everyday shelf the same for August, so here's the next part of the Tag Questions!

YAY! The numbers aren't off this time!

101. Do you have freckles? I did as a kid in the summertime, now I don't think so. If I do they aren't visible to me.
102. Have you ever tried to increase the density of your eyelash? No.
103. Which brand of fake eyelashes lasts longer? I don't wear them, so I don't know. I would like to try out the real magnetic ones (not the eyeliner kinds) but I can't see myself spending much on them.
104. Which cosmetic brand you have never tried? Becca... and since they are closing in September it seems pretty pointless to try the brand now.
105. What’s your current favorite salon? I actually have a lot of luck at SuperCuts.
106. How many glasses of water do you drink daily? between 7 and 16 ish.
107. How many hours of sleep is needed for a beautiful and gorgeous looking skin? 7-9 is what I think they say is ideal.
108. Heavy coverage, moderate coverage, or low coverage – what works the best for you? Light to medium. Full coverage feels yuck on my face. 
109. Do you use concealer on a regular basis? Nope.
110. What type of eyeshadow pallet is your bae? One with COLOR and 1 or 2 nudes.
111. Nude look or vibrant look – what do you prefer? Either, depends on the day.
112. Have you ever tried any weird looking lipstick? Yes. Denim blues, grey, gold, purple... Usually get looks in small town Tennessee, but so what!
113. In which look do you get a number of compliments? Warm colors... pink, peach, orange tends to go over well.
114. Do you regret any product purchasing decision? I'm sure we all do. Mine is an old Physicians Formula mascara. They don't carry it anymore but the brush applicator was stiff as a board, and the product itself was a mess!
115. What’s your best-bought product ever? In recent memory, Profusion Lip TInt/Oil. Love it.
116. In which product, do you usually splurge your money? Foundation/CC/BB Cream. The drugstore ones just don't do it. I can't find a decent color match and they oxidize too quickly.
117. Which brand of shower gel do you love to use? Bath and Bodyworks.
118. Like your skin, do you feel it is necessary body exfoliator? On occasion, yes.
119. Have you ever tried to wash your hair using clay? No...
120. Which type of clay mask is your favorite? I don't really see any benefits from them.
121. Do you believe that commercial products can really save your skin? "Save" no. Help out, yes.
122. Are you facing any skin problem currently? Oily. But it's not been a problem thus far. 
123. Cold wax or hot wax? If you're gonna do, go with hot. IMO it works better and easier.
124. What’s your opinion about Mineral oil? I don't have one.
125. How do you treat skin tan? Moisturize. 

What are some of your favorite products? Share below!

Have a great day,

How I Do Mock Up's via PC~ Crafty

 Hey Y'all!

When I first started to take photos of my crafts they turned out pretty horrible. I'd like to think there better now, I know a bit more about lighting, and focus, as well as making the photos more interesting. I'm still no pro, and I like to get it done quickly, and easily, so I'm going to share what I do.

I use my phone to take the pictures, other than resize or flipping the angles I don't edit them. (Easy way, remember?)

I start with something like this:

I've added relevant clutter items, to make the picture more interesting. I also don't have a lot of money to spend on lighting, or props. I use what I have, this is why I take photos in the Living Room, it has the best lighting 99% of the time.

I then move the photo(s) to the PC (there are many apps that help with that, or there is always the old email yourself option). After that I upload them to Cricut Design Space as a Print then Cut image.

Click insert, resize to fit the screen nicely (usually between 9 and 11 inches for my screen) and begin design work.

After adding the design(s), I use the PC's Snipping Tool to "grab" the photo and save it to my computer.

Here's what I did with this photo:

July Looks (Makeup)

 Hey Y'all!

This month I decided to do something different, and tried out this challenge I found on a facebook post:

Overall I think I did pretty well, I skipped a few, and towards the end I totally gave up the challenge, but I did do my makeup more often.

2) Four products only.

Both the Supergoop setting spray and Profusion Lip Oil are about empty. I have another lip oil, but it's also close to empty. I love these, and for $4 USD they can't be beat.

1) Sunset Inspired.

8) Ombre Lip.

I don't love how this turned out. I think matte lipsticks are the better option if I attempt an ombre lip again.

12) Pinup Inspired.

*Decided to try photo editing on this one, not sure it's "me" enough..

13) Shades of Fall.

14) Neutral Eye, Bold Lip.

9) Purple Inspired.

A lot of Wet 'n Wild here, is it me or have they really stepped up their game recently?

15) Pink Inspired.

18) Smoky Eye (browns).

? Also shades of pink.

Doesn't fit the challenge anywhere.

No makeup look. Pretty sure I'm only wearing lip gloss here.

4) My "every day" type look.

Another 14.

26-ish) 80's inspired.

Hair cut & color. (Also no makeup and poor lighting. You're Welcome.) I need styling help, please leave your ideas in the comments below!

Overall I followed the prompt 11 times, and did my makeup a total of  15 times. I'd call that a success! Do you have any makeup challenges I should try? Let me know in the comments below.

Have a great day,

What I'm Working On~ Crafty

 Hey Y'all!

I didn't work on much this month, other than SVG shopping. (Sites I use listed in a previous blog.)

Here's some of this month projects:

I totally forgot to take a picture before I washed it, so I took this, and in retrospect I should have waited until after I dried it and got the wrinkles out... 

The white is glow in the dark HTV from Siser, and the peach is from Craftables. I created the simple design after being frustrated with only finding breast cancer SVGs.

The next few shirts have vinyl from either Siser (sparkle holographic), Cricut (neon) or Craftables (black, and holographic). 

The Splash Country is my happy place, and Alien I designed, the other Splash Country is a modified Design Bundles SVG (The original is "Pool Hair {with a swim float} Don't Care".) I don't remember where the Hogwarts SVG is from.

I got some keychain blanks, and made this while playing around with sizing/spacing:

Blanks from Amazon, Vinyl is Cricut, Paint is Apple Barrel.

I received these Sally Hansen nail tool kits through Influenster, and came up with this:

Colors are- Wet 'n Wild 731A Pretty Peas, and China Glaze* 1708 Delta Darlin' *Color no longer available, in my opinion the closest is Tangerine Heat. 

The tools were easy to use after I got the hang of it. The nail polish wasn't quite so streaky looking in person. I thought they looked like Mickey heads pretty recognizably, my niece said more like hearts to her.  Either way it was fun!

Lastly are some photos I took at Natural Tunnel Railroad Day/Natural Tunnel State Park,  Duffield, VA.

Have a great day,
