Hey guys! 

I recently was browsing the internet & found that a lot of people are selling make-up brush holders for more than $10! Seriously though you can defiantly make your own for under $10!
So here is a DIY cute make-up brush holder, under $10.

Here are all the materials you will need: 

(Most of the stuff was bought @ the Dollar store.)

• A medium glass vase or preferred size of vase. ($2 @ Dollar store)
• Vase filler beads 350g. ($2 @ dollar store, you can find these @ Michaels too, but probably more expensive)

• Ribbon. ($1.25 @ Dollar store)
• Ice crystal gems, any color. ($1.25 @ Dollar store)
• Rub on font. (Don’t remember the price, but got them @ Michaels awhile back)
• Hot glue gun. (Any craft store, got mine @ Wal-mart for $4)

STEP 1:

First you want to clean the vase with some soap & water, after your done that make sure it’s completely dry.

STEP 2:

If your using the [Rub on font] keep reading, if not skip to next step.
 Cut out all the letters you are using for that word. I’m going to put “Live” on the vase.
After you’re done cutting them out, remove the wax backing & place them on the vase on the area you want them. Next, use your nail or anything & rub gently until the letter is transfer on the vase.
Do this to all the letters.

STEP 3: 

If you want to use the [Ribbon] keep reading, if not skip to next step.
First you want to heat up your hot glue gun. Next we are going to make a bow with the ribbon.
Measure how big/small you want your bow to be, cut the desired length
& place where you want the bow to be.
Start putting on a small amount of glue onto the ribbon & placing it on the vase, leave a bit of room in the front to make your bow. Now start tying your bow once you positioned everything.

I have included a link on a tutorial for the bow I made: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwRcjaH57P8

STEP 4:

If your using [Ice crystal gems] keep reading, if not skip this step.
We’re just going to fill the bottom of the vase with the ice gems.
Fill 1/4 of the vase with the ice gems. 

STEP 5:

Using the [Vase filler beads]
Fill ¾ of the vase with the Vase filler beads. 

STEP 6:

Place the make-up brushes & we are done!

You can also place different thing in the vases, like pens, pencils, paint brushes, etc. Be creative!

Hope you enjoyed this simply & easy DIY make-up brush holders! Stay tuned for more easy DIY!

Hey guys, I know my last blog post was on a haul, but my lovely boyfriend gave me a little shopping spree on beauty products for valentine`s day & I didn't get a chance to use it till now. So yay for another haul! I wanted to check Rexall out first, just cause they have a couple things on sale there that I wanted.

First few things I headed for was the REVLON'S 'lip butters'. I always wanted to try them out cause I heard so much great things about them. 

I got 2 lip butters & 2 REVLON'S 'super lustrous lipstick'.

The first lip butter is a pretty pink, called '#080 strawberry shortcake'.

Next I got a peachy nude color in '#065 creamsicle'.

The lipsticks I got in the super lustrous line are '#025 sky line pink', 

which is a pearly light pink color.

 & the last one is '#405 silver city pink', which is a light pink shimmer color.

The packaging is so cute on the lip butters that I want more, haha. 

All the REVLON'S lipsticks were $4.99 on sale.

Next I wanted to try out some new blush. I didn't even start to wear blush till this year actually thanks to my friend kimmy, who suggested I should try some blush to brighten up my face. She taught me how to put it & bam I was hooked. I only own 1 blush, so I do really need more variety. I got 2 blushes from RIMMEL, since they were on sale. Yay for sales!

First one I got is a medium rosey color in '003 pink rose'. 

Second is '102 santa rose', its more lighter than the first blush & probably my favorite between the two. These blushes are $3.96 on sale.

The next thing I got my boyfriend actually pointed out. I was busy looking at some things & he's like this make-up is on sale over here if you want to take a look, & knowing me I did look. Most of the things were almost gone, sad panda. But I did end up getting one thing, it's from the brand NYC. NYC is already a cheap brand to begin with, but I heard their eye shadows were pretty pigmented, so I wanted to get one & see for myself. 

I got an eye shadow quad in more of neutral colors. 

This one is in '#819A lexington luxury'. This was $2.46 on sale.

Lastly I couldn't walk out the store without looking at nail polish! & I ended up getting 5 bottles. I got 3 from SALLY HANSEN, 1 from ESSIE, & 1 from NICOLE BY OPI. 

The ones from SALLY HANSEN, are from their line 'smooth & perfect color care'. The colors I picked are a pastel color, which I thought it be good for spring & Easter. I also really liked the shape of the bottle, it just looks so clean.

The first polish I got is a pastel purple called '#05 whisper'

Second polish is a pastel blue called '#06 air'

& lastly a pearl pink called '#02 linen'. These were $3.96 on sale. I want more from this line, the colors are so pretty & it makes your nails look so clean.

The one I got from ESSIE, is dark greeny gray with some gold shimmer to it. I thought it was just a dark gray at the store when I picked it up but when I looked at it closely it was more green. I don't mind it though, makes a good color for army print. 

This nail polish is in 'armed & ready' & was $4.97 on sale. Too bad there weren't some more of ESSIE'S stuff on sale, oh well next time.

The last nail polish I got is from NICOLE BY OPI, from the line 'Selena Gomez'. I couldn't resist this line at all, the polishes are packed with sparkles & glitter, & which girl doesn't like sparkles & glitter?!

The color I ended up getting is called '#NI G02 mi fantasia'. Sadly this one wasn't on sale & it ended up being $10.99. Oh well, still a pretty polish.

That was my trip to Rexall, time for Superstore. I didn't really buy much from Superstore, since it was insanely busy. The first thing I picked up is from PHYSICANS FORMULA. I really like natural colors, & didn't feel like paying $50 for the naked pallet from urban decay, well not yet at least. 

The packaging on this is absolutely adorable, I love the lace & the cute little bow. They have 3 different kinds of the shimmer strips eye shadow. This one is '#7871C classic nude' & was a bit pricey but I've been eyeing for awhile now. Ended up being $15.79, hopefully it's pigmented.

Next I saw MAYBELLINE'S COLOR TATTOO 24HRS on sale & grab a few. I also heard great things about these eye shadows & again I grab more neutral colors, haha.

First one is in the color '#55 inked in pink'. Its a pearly pink metallic, I would have to say.

Next eye shadow is in '#35 tough as taupe'. I love taupe colors, & I'm still searching to find the perfect taupe color.

Last eye shadow is probably my favorite among the 3. It's a light pearly color in '#70 barely branded'. I can't wait to use these! They were about $5.96 each on sale.

Last product is from MAYBELLINE again. I kinda needed eye liner & saw this new one by MAYBELLINE & decided to give it a go. This is MAYBELLINE MASTER DUO 2-IN-1 GLOSSY LIQUID LINER, in 'black lacquer'. 

The 2-in-1 is so you can either draw a thick line or a thin line, pretty handy huh? Hopefully it'll turn out better on my eyes than on the swatches I did. 

This was regular price at $10.99.

Well that was my haul, hope you guys enjoyed. 

Come back soon for N.A.C. week 2 - Orange nails!

  



I really needed press powder since mine was almost gone, & shoppers is the only one I know that carries the brand GOSH. This press power is in the shade '01 Golden Honey' & is about $22. 
I use to use RIMMEL 'matte press powder', & I like it, but my face gets really shiny/oily throughout the day & RIMMEL didn't hold up, I ended trying this one & I have gone through 3 already! MY face still does get shiny/oily through out the day but it's only minimal. 

Next I remembered I was almost gone of concealer, so I was going to pick up my regular from L'OREAL, but then saw this one from MAYBELLINE'S FIT collection. I wanted to try it since I'm already using the foundation from MAYBELLINE & plus it's cheaper then L'OREAL'S Concealer. 
I got this in the shade '#15 fair' & it was about $8.99 on sale. The L'OREAL one I use all the time is about $12.

The last three things I for from there are from the brand ESSENCE. 
They're cute little eye shadows & were super cheap. 
I got a dark metallic blue in the shade '#11 wild at heart', a light shimmery lilac in the shade '#57 in the clouds', & a metallic green in the shade '#30 happy hour'. 

These eye shadows were all on sale for $1.29! I thought it was a great deal, so why not.

Now time for Winners!

I really wanted the new textures line from OPI's MARIAH CAREY collection & found a 4 piece mini polishes set @ winners! They're so adorable & I cannot wait to try them out. The colors include 'get your number', 'can't let go', 'the impossible' & 'stay  the night'. This set was $12.99.

Since I was in the nail polish section, I stumbled upon my all time favorite top coat, & decided to get that as well, just in case I was running out. SECHE VITA 'dry fast top coat', was about $7.99.

Lastly I needed a new eye lash curler, but forgot to pick one up @ shoppers, so I looked for one at winners.

Thankfully I found one, hopefully it works good! CALA eyelash curler, was about $4.99.

So that's my mini haul, hope you guys stay warm from this cold!

Until next time, xo.
