Hello world.

I know this whole front page is meant for skin care and make up but i feel you must know why my blog has been slacking as of late.So here's why.

okay, that's not why. That is My old  doggy Harvey Dent who had to be left in Ohio when we moved. i love that dog....
Reasons I've been gone..
1. I started a 32 hour a week job and the hours are crazy.
2. When I get off work All i want to do is lay down.
3.I've been sick for like a month.
4. I just found out that I am pregnant.
5. Apparently I'm a high risk for losing the baby , Ive been depressed and trying not to get stressed out,
6. Ive been Sleeping ALOT.
7. When i DO have some energy I've been making myself some clothes because none of my jeans fit me.
So there you have it.
I'll try to keep this updated, If i don't miscarry this next week or so i also plan on making a "the alien inside me" page and updating it with all my prego things and news. I'm not doing that yet tho. It would be depressing to have to remove it all in a week. Cross your fingers/Pray for me. I want this baby!!

Eye Shadows. and a bit of eyebrows

I love eyeshadow. SO here is some pictures of different ways to wear eyeshadow. please note. none of these pictures belong to me and i do not claim them. if you are the owner please write me, i will add your name under the picture. These are just for fun. to get your creative juices flowing. 

Note. if you want more of a POP of color apply WHITE eye shadow before applying the colors you want to use.

                                                    My favorite shades.. pinks whites purples blues

Blending is Key here. Anyone can make their eyes look like these. For the zebra and leper use a black liquid eyeliner to draw spots or lines. .. any picture you'd like really. Have fun with it.

I change my eye brows alot now days. this chart is just a little bit of the different shapes you can do. Explore and try something new! If you dont want to shave off your eye brows but you do want to try something new you can use Elmers glue stick  and cover your eye brow with it.. so that the hairs are all layin the same way. let the glue dry.. add some more if your eyebrows are thick.. let dry.. cover with powder that matches your skin tone and draw on your new eyebrows. Alot of people do this. it really works. 

Banana mask

Bananas are high in  Vitamin C, A, B6 and B12 and they  contain potassium and magnesium. The fruit acids in bananas help remove  dead skin and make you look younger and more refreshed!


You can apply squished bananas onto your face by themselves or add them to a oatmeal mask!

you need
1 BANANA
yup that's all.

rub onto face in a circular motion and apply evenly.
leave on for 15-20 mins and wash off.

oatmeal face mask

if you have oily skin this oatmeal mask is just for you.
plus it is great for acne.


You Need:
1 cup of  crushed oatmeal.
4 table spoon of honey
1 egg yolk. (optional)


Get some good old fashioned oatmeal. Blend it in a blender or crush it by hand until it is powder like. you don't need all of it to be powder just most.
Take a bit of honey (i use 2 McDonald's honey packets) and add your egg yolk.
blend it together.

it should be a paste like not too runny but not thick either. if it is too thick just add a bit of water.
Using clean fingers apply it to a CLEAN FACE.
leave on 20 mins
wash off with warm water
you will feel that your skin is tighter and refreshed.

YAY

Body Wax?

So, I cut myself shaving the other day and decided on trying something new. I wanted to remove my body hair but i didn't want too much hassle and it had to be cheap. I started googling different methods and i came upon the SUGAR WAX. I'm not going to lie, the first thought in my head was "OUCH! NO WAY NOT WAXING" but then I read on and the crafty side of my brain told me to at least try it.
So i made my own tonight and it works.

You need:
Sugar
Lemon juice
Water
Microwave bowl OR Oven and a  Pot

Depending on how much you make is up to you. I made enough to fill an empty baby jar tonight for testing it. (it was enough to do both my arms and upper lip)

I used about 1/2 cup of sugar
1&1/2 cup water
1/2 cup lemon juice
10 mins in microwave

 didn't take measurements, i had alittle bit of lemon juice left and i just winged it.
lucky me it came out perfect.

If you want to use it on your legs Just double the amount. 
Like i said I was just testing to see if `i liked it.

To take the wax off you use a cloth. oh and i burned my arm real good because i thought it was warm enough and it wasn't...

SO there you go. the sugar wax works
and if you are in the mood for lollipops add some strawberry juice in place of the lemon juice. :P

Home made Make up

                                       Lip Gloss

.Everyone wears some kind of lip gloss. Be it plain old Vaseline or chap stick, sometime in your life you will wear lip gloss. Why not make your own? It is easy,cheap and fun!
Plus it will save you money in the long run if you are like me and wear it all the time.

You will need:
Lipstick or Eyeshadow
Vaseline
Empty container (you can re use your old lip gloss/eyeshadow container)
Stir Stick
Microwave
butter knife



First get out the color lipstick/eyeshadow you want to use.
 Cut a little bit off the top and put it into your container. you don't need lipstick eyeshadow will make the color too.
(if your container isn't microwave safe use a small plate,bowl etc.)
take a bit of Vaseline and add it to the container.
  (if you are using eyeshadow mix now.)



Put the container in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Watch it as some microwaves melt the lipstick faster.
when it is melted take it out.
Stir.
You can add some baby blue eyeshadow into this to make your teeth appear whiter, stir it in well so you cant see the blue.

Let Cool and Wear.
(Yes i am sitting on my toilet. I made my lipgloss and went into the bathroom  to apply it cuz it has the best mirror..
Silly husband.. took my picture ... ) Sometimes you need to laugh at yourself. <3

You Can use Kool-Aid to add some flavor to your lip gloss but don't use alot as it can change the
color of your lip gloss.
---------------------------------------------------
Cream EyeShadow

If you have a matte powder eyeshadow and you want a cream shadow this is very easy and quick..

You Need:
Empty Container
Stir stick
Eyeshadow
Lotion. (use non scented or something with a very light scent.)

Take the lotion and put it in your container. The amount of Lotion you add is up to you depending on how much cream shadow you want. (the more lotion=more eyeshadow to use)

Add a bit of Eyeshadow
Stir.
If you don't like how light the color is just add more pigment until you get the color you like.
You can mix and match too.
(this is not water proof)

Enjoy.
--------------------------------------
Nail Polish Color.

I love wearing bright bright nail polish. It sucks for me though because the cool colors usually cost 5-7 dollars a bottle. I don't have money to spend like that. So I make my own.
It isn't as hard as you think and instead of paying 5-7 dollars i pay about 1-2 dollars a bottle.

You Need.
Clear Nail Polish (dollar stores sell them)
Powder EyeShadow
A funnel
a nail file or butter knife
metal bee bees (optional)

First take your  funnel and stick it into your clear nail polish bottle.

Then take the bee bee and put one or two into the bottle (it helps stir the color in when you shake it)

Take your nail file or butter knife and scrap the eyeshadow into the bottle.
make sure it is going down the funnel. use as much pigment as you think necessary, color will be darker with more pigment and lighter with less.

Put the lid back on your nail polish and Shake it up.
if you have the bee bees in it you'll hear it shaking.

Congrats you just made your own nail polish color.

To make Glitter Nail Polish.
Instead of EyeShadow use Glitter
 Glitter can be bought in dollar stores.

Some more skin care how to's

                                                              Carrot Scrub
you need some carrots or carrot juice
you can blend carrots in a blender to make the carrot juice.
salt (if you have oily skin only)
brown sugar (for normal or dry skin only)
honey (you can get a honey packet from McDonald's or something)

mix  about a cup of your sugar or salt in a bowl
with the tea spoon or packet of honey mix 
add your half cup of carrot juice
stir.
clean your face
take a paper towel and apply in a circular motion on your face.
you wanna get the dead skin off.
wash off.
after you wash it off your skin will be shiny and smooth.
if you plan on going into the sun remember to wear sun screen because this scrub can make you burn faster without it.

carrots are good for both your skin and body so drink a glass once in a while your body will thank you.

                    Pore Strips

Okay we all get it. black heads.. ewww Gross.
even if you you wash your face twice a day you can still get black heads.
it comes from make up , stress, etc.
But pore strips can cost alot so why not make them yourself?

you need:
unflavored gelatine
milk
a glass or cup
microwave
tooth brush or paint brush or make up brush


Mix 1 table spoon of the gelatine
1 table spoon of milk
stir until it look chunky
place in microwave for 10 seconds
stir 
take your brush and apply it to your nose or where ever
you want. (i apply to my nose and chin)
let it harden and then peel it off.

it is actually better for your skin then the store bought pore strips
since  they have glue in them and this is natural.
yay.

   Green Tea Toner and Anti Puffy eyes
I love green tea. It is healthy and does wonders for the body. and Like most things good for the body it is great for your skin too!

For the toner just make some green tea
and store it in a cute jar or spray bottle.

To use it to get rid of puffy eyes and dark circles
make your tea and use a cotton pad to dab it around your eyes.
you can make the cotton pads with the tea already on them and leave them in
the fridge so you wont have to make one every day.
if you use it for dark circles it will take about 7-8 days before they will be gone but through out the week you will notice the difference.
it will instantly make that red puffy eye disappear !!
