Requests?

Hey girls! I know it's been awhile, but I've been busy with school and holidays, and life in general. I have been pondering what to write, but I had an amazing idea! What if I asked YOU guys what I should write? I am writing for you guys anyway, so how about find out what you would like to see! I've been debating a natural everyday make-up look or slumber party essentials, which one would you all like to see? Anyway, you can email me at my business email Buttercupbff@gmail.com, or comment in the comment sections down below! 

Until next time,

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,

3 Ways to Soften Your Lips

Do you deal with dry, cracked lips? Well here are some tried methods (that have worked for me as well) that are sure to soften and moisturize your lips.

1. Take a dry toothbrush and in circle-like motions 

scrub your lips. If your lips are cracked, then add some deep 

treatment chap stick before doing this.

2.   Before going to be,  make sure your lips are  lathered up. 

Take your favorite lip balm /chap stick and apply more than usual over 

your lips. If your the skin around your lips are dry, then apply 

a little out there too.

3. This one is a no-brainer. Keep chap stick/lip balm with you at 
ALL times. If you don't wear a purse and don't have pockets in a certain
outfit, then just keep it in the car (you might want to put it under 
some shade so it doesn't melt. Always try to apply it after eating any citrus 
or salty foods. Especially chips.

I hope these three tips help you AND your dry lips! 

Until next time,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 3!

     Hey there girls! Today is the official beginning of the week, so I thought it would be great to have a project to look forward too during this week. As you all know, I have been doing a DIY Jewelry Display series. This last part is probably my favorite. Let's get started!!

What You'll Need~

A small cup (You don't want a cup that's big around, because that could tear your bracelets)

Your stretchy bracelets

Optional: You might want a cute little container or some small jewelry to put on top. I have a container that's perfect for this.

If you have any cups that are the same circumference at the top and the bottom, and they are small enough, you could buy a stand where it could be sideways like the picture above.

Directions~

Step 1-Go ahead and gather your cups and your bracelets. Start at the open part of the cup, set it down upside down to what it was made to stand on, and keep stacking bracelets. If you have smaller bracelets then do them at the bottom (most cups are bigger at the top, so that's why you would want to do smaller bracelets at the bottom). 

Step 2-Now you can add your topper if you have one. Cocktail rings and stud earrings are great for this part. 

Step 3-Now that you've completed your bracelet holder, go ahead and place it where you'd like. I put mine in the middle of my dresser. 

I hope you have all enjoyed this DIY Jewelry Display series! I know I have, because I got to experiment with them :) Another great DIY Jewelry display for your earrings and rings is by a youtube account named Anneorshine. For the link, go here. 

Until next time,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 2!

                                Hey there girls! I hope your week has been a great one!
I have been so excited about this new series of mine on DIY Jewelry Displays! Today I am posting the second part to the series. There will be one more part after this! So, here we go!

What You'll Need~
Tacks or Hooks (You can use really pretty and decorative hooks if you would like, but I didn't have any and I am trying to make this series a completely free one!)
Necklaces/Bracelets
An Open Space on Your Wall (I chose a little corner by my dresser that was plain)
Ruler

Directions~

Step 1-This is a really easy DIY, so it won't take long at all. First, you need to get a ruler and insert the tacks or hooks in if you want them a certain way. I chose to make mine a plain line, but I'm going to rearrange it soon!

Step 2-Now you want to take any necklaces or loose and thing bracelets and start hanging. I chose to do a bracelet and a necklace for each tack. (I did about six).


And then-BAM! Your done! This is a super easy way to show off you prettiest and most favorite necklaces but without spending as much money. Stay tuned for the third part of the series!!

Talk you all soon,

DIY Jewelry Display Part 1!

     Hey girls! So it's been awhile since I've posted, and I would like to apologize for that. I've been busy with school and brothers, which as you can tell, are a VERY busy mixture! 
     
     I've been wanting to start a series for awhile now, but didn't know what to do it on! Well wait no more, for I have found the PERFECT series!! I was in my room the other day and I had been wanting to buy a spinning earring holder, but I thought it was kind of expensive (If you have 30+ earrings, then I would suggest purchasing this). So, I figured out this inexpensive yet trendy DIY project! Let's get started!


What You'll Need~

1 plate of any kind. I chose glass for mine, but if that doesn't go with your room, then maybe try a pastel or neutral color.
Some Jewelry

Optional: I chose to wrap a strand of pearls around the bottom of my jewelry display, so if you have a long necklace that you can loop around that'd be great. It depends on your preference.


Directions~

Step 1- Go ahead and get your plate. I got mine from a glass sculpture that was coming apart so instead we reused the plates that were on there. If you have a flat bowl instead of a plate, then that would work fine. Just make sure that your jewelry won't slip, since it is a display.

Step 2- Now gather all of your favorite and prettiest smaller jewelry together. I chose some of my earrings, rings, fancy hair clips, and a pretty bracelet for mine. Go ahead and arrange them the way that you want. I liked scattering all of mine out evenly, since I was trying to cover the plate's base, but you can do whatever you like. 

Step 3- If you want to wrap your strand of jewelry around the bottom, go ahead and do that. I just double looped a pearl necklace for mine, since I was going for a more petite, shinier look.


Extra~
If you have just a couple of rings or earrings, then try getting a smaller plate (the bowls used to little dips for a party are great for this also). 



I hope you like your new jewelry display! I encourage you all to try this, because if you already have the plate or flat bowl, than this is a free DIY! I will be doing two more Jewelry Display DIY's soon, so keep watching!


Until next time,

~Pearl


P.S.
Since I still haven't been able to upload pictures, I had to get one off the internet. You can glue a little stand to yours if you would like, but I didn't.
