Sugar Skull face paint

Decided I'd try out one more face paint before Halloween. Here is me painted as a sugar skull! I used the same face paint as before (white snazaroo face paint, and the cheap face paint) as well as liquid black eyeliner. I didn't paint the sugar skull colourful like the typical ones you'd see, but instead added black lace.

Pixelated face paint

Face Painting time!! I love Halloween for this very reason.
Here is me painted pixelated. I also took some pictures in between to show the progression of the pixel painting.
I used white snazaroo face paint (Great quality and easy to work with), and cheap face paint from Walmart (okay quality - not very easy to work with though). I only ended up using one brush= an angled eyeliner brush.

Wedding DIY

To save moolah I helped my sister out with a number of DIY projects for her wedding.

DIY bridal bouquet

We ordered the flowers online (scary) but they arrived alive! When they arrive they are not in water so you have to cut the ends of the stems and let them sit in a flower solution/ water overnight before you're able to start making the bouquets. Used garden roses and carnations.

Halloween DIY: creepy, broken china doll

My friend and I put a lot of work into this years halloween costume!! First we went to Value Village to buy bright doll like dresses (pretty sure they were old prom/ bridesmaid's dresses), bought a blank white mask from a costume store, long blonde wigs, white stockings, white gloves, and white face paint.

-We cut the eyes bigger in the mask, painted cracks, red lips, blush, eyeshadow/ eyeliner, and added fake eyelashes to the bottom and top of the eyes.
-We put the white stockings on and painted the joints using liquid black eyeliner.
-We used the white face paint to our arms and neck, and black eyeliner to paint the joints on our elbows.
- Both of our dresses came with a sash so it was used for the massive bow in our hair.
- We painted our eyelids/ around with black eyeliner so that when our eyes are closed (for pictures) they look hollow! and now you have a very creepy china doll :)

DIY - Christmas "for your mistle toes"

CNND9HCG7M8X  -I got this idea from Pinterest and thought it was a cute gift for friends/ extended family.  On Pinterest the "for your mistle toes" note was attached to the nail polish, but I liked the idea of putting it in a little clear plastic bag and finishing it off with a bow.
