DIY Cream Eyeliner


You can always buy the cream eyeliner, but how cool would it be to say that you made your own?!? Pretty awesome!! For the brush, you can use one from your old cream eyeliners or you could purchase some makeup brushes from places like ebay or amazon inexpensively. 

What You'll Need~
Pigmented Black Eyeliner (Preferably cheap since you'll be messing it up)
Empty Container (You can just clean old eye shadow containers or buy the container)
Paper Plate
Plastic Spoon
Something to scrape with
Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly

Step 1~
Start scraping out your desired amount of eye shadow, it can be however much you want, but remember that you'll be using more of the jelly than eye shadow.

Step 2~
Take a spoonful of the jelly (the proportion for this should be 1/3 eye shadow and 2/3 vaseline) and start mixing it together. This can be tricky and messy so be careful.

Step 3~
Once your eyeliner is at a creamy texture, go ahead and scoop the eyeliner into your container.

This project is perfect for stocking stuffers or as a present. Comment if you would like to see a DIY Eye Primer post soon!


Until next time,

DIY Christmas Ornaments!



Hey everyone! I know it's been awhile, I've been busy with pre-Christmas shopping! I will be doing lots of DIY presents for Christmas this year! 
A classic girly-girl trait is to have your own mini Christmas tree. There are many popular themes, white, pink, etc. I thought I would show all of you a way to have your own inexpensive ornaments for your tree.

Materials~
Earrings
Small Christmas Tree
Optional: Plate with jewelry

You can purchase your own miniature Christmas tree at a lot of places. I've had mine since I was a little girl, and it's not very big, but it's perfect for my room! You can purchase a miniature Christmas tree here

To get started go ahead and fluff your tree. To do this you spread out all of your tree's .. um I forgot what they are called but it's what you put the ornaments on! I like to make mine go up a little but that's just me. You can go all crazy with it or you can just pick a theme. I chose white for mine. Now take all of your dangle earrings that match the theme and go ahead and start hanging them! You can make your own by buying the hooks and attaching charms. 

I hope you like your tree! For a cute look, I am going to put my tree in the center of a glass plate and put some of my rings on the plate. 

Until next time,
