May Looks!

Hey Y'all!

I have a lot to share here, and there was once I forgot to take a pic (our travel home from the concert day). Most all the products from the Everyday (May) Makeup Shelf  I've mentioned before, and given a detailed opinion on. If you have any questions leave them down below (in the comment section)!

May Looks:

1) Playing w/ hair & Makeup, lol pigtails!

2)

3) The day I dyed my hair.

4) My fav for this month!

IDK why the blog/ My computer is acting up, forgive the format issues.

5)

6) Headbands like this will not stay on my head.

7) These are out of order, and it wont let me fix it. (Before hair color.)

Going to the Dr. Masks must be worn, so I don't generally do much makeup then.

8) Mother's Day!

9)

10) Just wearing minimal makeup here.

11)

12)

13) Craft Show!

14)

IDK What's wrong. There's this issue, and it won't let me copy/paste...

15) We've reached TN Hella Hot weather now..

16)

17)

18)Color Changing Vinyl (Light Sensitive)

19) Concert!! (Also all day travel.)

20) Travel home from concert, I shared the makeup I was taking in a previous blog and forgot to take any pics.

I'm shocked at how well I did for May! I doubt June will go as well, less plans & far hotter temps mean I do my makeup less.

Which look was your favorite? Let me know in the comment section below!

Have a great day,

Craftin' Wife

Show Prep & Fun Friday!

Hey Y'all!

You've already seen most of the items I plan to take on Saturday either here on on social media. I plan on doing a similar set us as last time, here's a few blogs about the previous event I attended:

http://craftinwifescreations.blogspot.com/2022/04/howd-craft-show-go.html

I did get a 10x10 tent from Academy Sports (in purple!), so I'm sure that'll make a world of difference in the shade/heat department. I also have some table cloths (teal, from Walmart), but won't mess with them if it's too windy.

I still have to make all the price tags, and I had plans for some Wood Signs, but that's not going to happen since we've been traveling Thursday & Friday.

Here's a few short videos of product:

Lastly the mess that is the craft room currently:

FUN FRIDAY!!

Have a great day,

June Everyday Makeup Shelf, May Mini Review

Hey Y'all!

I can't believe it's that time again already! May is flying by.

Here's a reminder of what was on May's shelf:

Now onto June Everyday Makeup Shelf~

I really enjoyed using the 9 pan ColourPop palettes, but wanted to try something different for June.

Overview of June's shelf!

This month I figured I'd try to use up the Ulta mascara from the holidays. I kept the Urban Decay brows, even though I don't love it. I just want to use it more before opening a new product.

Next I decided on a change with the nude lips, and switched out the Dose of Colors for these Ulta Beauty minis. These are glossier, so I'm wondering how different they'll be.

I've yet to use the L.A. Colors (Tea) Matcha Palette, or the I.B.Y. Beauty* Sunday Brunch. I'm excited to try them both! The Anastasia Lip Kit stays, I still wanna get more use out of it.

*Use code CraftinWife25 at checkout to save 25% off your order.

The Sun Bum stays, especially in the summer months. I've used all these blush, bronze, highlight products before, but I don't know if I've ever paired them together. I may end up pulling from the drawers here, I really didn't pick out many.

May Mini Review:

I'm excited I finally finished up several of these products. I've reviewed them all previously; Too Faced Mascara, Big Poppa Mascara, and the Shadowbox Eyeshadow Primer. 

I thought the Tom Ford was ok, I did my review for Influenster and then gifted it to my sister. She wore it once and said she likes it, but even on her (very pale) skin the colors in this quad were almost too similar to one another. It was nice to get such a luxury product, but this isn't a product I'd spend that kind of money on. 

I love colourpop for the cute factor, price, and quality. I enjoyed using these throughout the month. I just wish colourpop did higher quantity releases, less often.

Did you have a favorite product this month? Try something you hated? Let me know in the comments below!

Have a great day,

My 40th Birthday Wish List!! (Giveaway Update, & Fun Friday!)

 Hey Y'all!

I can't believe my 40th Birthday is in a month (June 19th)!! 

I've separated my wish list into several sections: amazon, other, and non-materialistic birthday wishes.

Several of you asked me to do an amazon wish list, so here it is: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/V47OT9NO6RJD?ref_=wl_share

It's a lot of vinyl, craft supplies, and a few makeup and beauty items. Pretend shopping was fun, and I found a lot of new products that way, especially in the vinyl category. 

Other wish list items from other places~

Similar to this.

1) Hobby Lobby has several new vinyl products in their The Paper Studio line, including hot & cold color changing vinyl. I tried to find a link to the specific products, but couldn't find them online, however I've seem them in store already. (Pretty positive I could get this elsewhere cheaper {and it is on my amazon list as well}, but found it really cool that color changing vinyl is now available somewhere in store.)

2) More color changing cups, these are just so fun to do! (Walmart, is where I've found the best deal).

3) These two from the Colourpop Winnie the Pooh Collection:

https://colourpop.com/products/100-aker-wood-highlighter

https://colourpop.com/products/sweet-as-can-bee-pressed-powder-palette

I've been a Winnie the Pooh fan forever!

4) Gift Cards. Gas, food, groceries, stores, google play, etc. I'd be very happy with just about anything/anywhere.

5) Any/all of the I.B.Y. Beauty Boho Collection. It's so pretty!

Non-materialistic list~

1) Continued health! (And let's take a moment to celebrate 2 yrs NED!!! WooHoo!)

2) More research & awareness for gynecological cancers, specifically Endometrial.  (Do my part to spread awareness!)

3) Try a new recipe, at least twice a month. (Use the cookbooks I've been collecting, a vintage recipe night would be fun!)

4) Read more! Nonfiction & fiction both. (Setting a goal of 2 books a month for the rest of the year.)

5) Spend more money on experiences, and less on things this year!

Lastly, Y'all have done it!!!

The giveaway is happening! I'll post details on all social media platforms Monday, which will also give some time to reach another goal for a bigger giveaway. (The more goals met the bigger the giveaway!)

Recent Empties

 Hey Y'all!

In this blog I share my recent empties. I forgot to take pics as most of them as they got tossed, but I do have one photo to share.

I'll start with the no photo bunch, unless I can no longer find the product (like the charcoal face wash from Dollar Tree):

1) Amika Shampoo~ I like all their products, and this was no exception. I would repurchase if needed, but I bulk buy products when on sale, so I have about 5 sets of shampoo & conditioner to work through first.

2) As I Am CoWash~ I loved this product when my hair was long & curly. It's currently neither, so it's no longer working for me. The smell was great though, and it worked well for that hair type.

3) Hair Food Conditioner~ The packaging has changed since I got mine, so I'm not 100% sure which one I was using. I used it the most when my hair was long and extra tangled, as well as on my virtually naked chemo scalp. It's finally empty, but it had been set aside a bit before I finished it off. I'd have to read up on the descriptions if I look to buy it in the future.

Photo!!

4) Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray~ This worked on my hair before, and works on it now too. I love the product, but can not see myself spending $50 USD for a full size. Anyone know of a less expensive comparable product? Please let me know!

5) Wet 'n Wild Brow-Sessive Brow Shaping Gel~ I really liked this, it worked well for getting my crazy brows to lay down. I also love that it's clear, I'm not a big fan of the colored gels with a spoolie wand. I have replaced this already with the Mega Clear Gel, and I'll try it next month. I'm currently using a colored one from Urban Decay in this month's everyday shelf. (It's okay.)

6) DT Makeup Remover Wipes~ I love these in a pinch, before washing my face, or on a lazy late night. I've already replaced them with a different one from Dollar Tree.

7) Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara~ Y'all know this isn't my favorite, but I have so many from all the holiday kits, and such, that it seems silly to buy mascara. I do believe I only have one, trial size, left!

8) Shadowbox Eyeshadow Primer~ I liked this, and it worked well. It took forever to get through, simply because I rarely use eyeshadow primer. I would use this again, but I have a few others to work through/test out first.

9) Wet 'n Wild Big Poppa Mascara~ I will eventually buy this again, but I have a few I need to at least try out first. Y'all know this is my absolute favorite drug store mascara.
