DIY Fringe Scarf

Hey loves! Sorry its been awhile since I posted last! Have been very busy with my best friends baby shower this past weekend which was amazing :) I will share some pics of that soon and another DIY on diaper cakes!


So anyways, I found this awesome DIY Fringe scarf and ever since I made my first one I cant stop making them! Its so easy and looks amazing, ive already made one for me, my mom, and sister!

All you need is:
- A t-shirt or tank top
- Pair of sharp fabric scissors

                                                                    Step 1

                                                    

I used an old tank top from forever 21. You can use solid color or a print shirt for more of an intense look.

Step 2

Using you scissors cut your shirt horizontally just under the armholes to make a rectangular tube.

Step 3

Start cutting vertical strips across the whole bottom half of the shirt. The longer you cut them, the longer the fringe will be. I went just under half of my shirt.

Step 4

(Final step!)

Final step is to tug down on all of the strings to make them longer. I also slightly tugged the whole shirt once I was done.

Finished!! Told you it was easy ;) 

Now you have your super cute new scarf to wear in less than 10 min! 

You will def be seeing me wear this is many of my up coming OOTD.

Enjoy your new scarf! IF you have any questions about this DIY just comment and let me know! Thanks dolls! XO!

Sex and the city

Unless you have been living under a rock ;) you all know and have seen Carrie's necklace on Sex and the City.

 For me its such an iconic look and I think its just fabulous (well everything Carrie wears is fabulous) So anyways I just had to get one for myself. I had searched around alot of different sites and read review because I wanted to make sure it would be perfect. I found the perfect one on Etsy. If you haven't heard of it before, its an amazing site... you can find almost everything and anything you can think of, and most of it is handmade. I had spotted one on BestPersJewelry and its perfect. One of my good friends just got home from a tour in Iraq on Christmas eve, and to my surprise guess what he hands me... (Im assuming my boyfriend gave him the idea)

PERFECT!! Its everything I had wished and more. They Send it out in such a cute little box with a bow, had a little card saying Merry Xmas, and as a extra surprise in a little bag there was a small charm with my initial on it. Both are perfect and very well made from .925 sterling silver. Im going to purchase a shorter chain so I can wear the charm above the name. They have so many different options on there site of writing font, size, chain length, .925, Gold, or Gold plated and much more.

Check out the site and get one of your own personalized necklace for you or a friend!

Shady Lady

So I have finally got my hands on all 3 of the Shady Lady Eyeshadow palettes by the Balm!! Ive taking some photos of the palettes and how AMAZING the colors are. All of them are just wonderful and they go on like silk, almost no fall out, and has a huge mirror which comes in very handy. My next few posts will be swatches of each of the volumes, because a post of 27 different eye shadows will be a little bit too long lol :) and easier to do each one by volume. Enjoy these few pics of each of them and check back the next couple days for the full review of each!

Sephora says:

What it does:
Let your inner artist run wild with this tray full of shadyLady shadows. From the subtle to the bold, the sheer to the opaque, swish your brush and create a new masterpiece with each application. Featuring 9 shades tucked inside a zebra print package, this palette is a treat for the eyes in more ways than one.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Fragrances
- Synthetic Dyes
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan.

What else you need to know:
Use it wet or dry as both an eyeshadow and shadow liner

L-R: Vol. 1,Vol. 2, Vol. 3

These are available at Sephora, and the Balm. I purchased mine for TJ Maxx and Marshalls for $12.99 each which is a STEAL! Vol. 3 has two missing colors (lusty lee and open to offers olwen) so I got that pallet for around $8. Theres nothing I love more than a great bargain!

theBalm Lippies

Over the holidays I picked up a few lip glosses from the balm. Ive never tried any of there lip products before but now I am in love!

The 3 I pick up are:
* Stainiac in Beauty Queen- "hint of tint for lips and cheeks" I've never used a stain before but love the idea of it since I am always drinking something or eating, I feel like I have to constantly re apply gloss. This stuff is amazing! Its a beautiful reddish-pinkish color and you can make it as sheer or as intense as you like! You can dap it on your cheeks for a nice flush feeling, or apply more for a more dramatic look. It also gives you enough time to blend and play around with it before it dries. When applied on the lips its looks beautiful on almost any skin tone,            and taste amazing! I feel like everytime I put it on I keep licking my lips lol, and doesn't make my lips dry at all. I could of done a whole blog review just on this product because I love it so much!

                                                                                * Balm Shelter in Girl Next Door-  First off, its SPF 17 which is always good to see when you live in Florida! The color is a lovely pink, it looks like there might be some glitter when I look in the tube but when applied its not too visible (which is a good thing in my eyes) , has good staying power, and is not overly sticky at all. And of course smells and tastes amazing! I always just throw it in my purse because its such a wearable color. Another great product,

                                                                                * plump your pucker in cocoa my coconut- This smells AMAZING, reminds me off the beach! yummy! I picked this one up because I have been wanting a nude gloss for awhile and this is it! The color is perfect, nude with a slight pinkish tint, and looks great applied over The Balm Stainiac. Its got a little tingle/burn to it for the plumping affect, but its not overly harsh at all.

From top to bottom: balm shelter, plump you pout, stainiac

                               Have you tried any off theBalms lippies?? Which are your favorite?

                                                                              xoxo

sonia kashuk limited edition Kashuk Tool's starter kit

Hey ladies! Sorry I was gone for so long! I went on a mini vaca with my boyfriend to North Carolina for Halloween! But now I back :) I hope you all had an amazing and safe halloween!

So I visit my local Target a few times a week to look out for deals or pick up a few new ELF items. The past few weeks I have been eyeing down the Sonia Kashuk brush kits and have been admiring all of there amazing brushes. I use to own a few of their eye brushes years ago (the ones with the white handles) and to be honest they weren't the best so I never bothered buying them again. But anyways, as Im walking past a clearance shelve I see the 3 set Kashuk brush starter kit, the price..... $6!!! Thats right, only $6. It was suppose to be priced at $24.99. It included the Blusher Brush- $17.99, Large domed Eye Shadow Brush- $9.99, and the Small Eye Shadow brush- $9.99. So if bought separately it would be a total of $37.97, so I would of saved $31.97!! Im all about a deal, and my friends thats a good deal!





















*The first brush is the Blusher Brush-" Sweep blush onto the apples of cheeks for a natural-looking flush."
I love this brush. The handle on the brush is amazing and so easy to hold and work with, and its super soft. I see myself using this brush for almost everything; from powder foundation, blush, bronzer, highlighter and booster.
             




*The second brush is the Large Domed eye shadow brush- "Finishes and beautifully blends; perfect for contouring. Don't be afraid to use powder for touch-ups on face." Again, Love this brush and the handle. Its very dense and probably the biggest eye shadow brush I own. I can see  myself using it for my all over color, blending, and even adding highlight to my cheek bones.



*The third brush is the Small Eye Shadow brush- "A great brush that applies and blends." This brushes bristles are a little bit more sturdy. I will be using this brush for the highlighting under my brow and maybe in my crease. I will probably be using this for alot more things once I get the chance to use it!
                                      

Each of these brushes has her signature engraved into the tops of the brush. The handles are the best and most comfortable that I have ever held. They make applying make up so much easier and fit so nicely into you hand which gives great control. It also included the Beauty brush-Up book, which includes Tips and Tricks from Sonia Kashuk. These Brushes can be found at most targets and online. I highly suggest checking them out for yourself :) If you own any other brushes from this collection let me know, I would love to add to it!                                                                xoxo
