Too Faced Summer Eye palette (Tutorial & Swatches)

This tutorial was so much fun to put together. I already had the beach setup in my mind and went out to look for the things I needed - the sand, and the shells. I looked in wal-mart and a craft supply store and couldn't find any. Finally my husband said "hey, we should look in Dollar General" I said "The Dollar General wont have that!" we went inside to look and we found them! Wooo whoo! LOL (: Give the video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it and subscribe if you haven't already.

Anyway, let's move onto the Too Faced Summer eye palette swatches!

sugar sand, plumeria, cocoa beach
peach fuzz, coral crush, chocolate sun
sunbeam, mermaid, toasted coconut
To keep this short I want to say that I LOVE this palette. My favorite shades are Coral crush (the picture does not do it justice), Plumeria, and Mermaid. The ones I do not like are Peach fuzz and Sunbeam (poor pigmentation). I think this is the perfect palette for the summer. My advice is to pat on the shadows when using them, instead of sweeping them on, this will keep fallout to a minumum. Yes, you will get some fall out because alot of the shadows have golden glitter in them.

Let me know what YOU think. <3

Flea market finds: $1 rings!

There's this place called Trader's Village, it's in Grand Prairie, Tx (about 40 minutes from where I live). It's basically a flea market and there's literally thousands of shops. My husband and I love to go there when it's nice and warm outside. But there's one little shop that I always have to visit, it's of course a "costume" or "fantasy" jewelry shop. Now, I don't like expensive jewelry. Diamods are a girls best friend? Eh, not mine. However, I do love me some cute, fake jewelry that adds a statement to any outfit. Today I'm going to show you a few rings that I bought the last time I went, and guess what?? They were only $1 each! I've seen similar rings being sold at the mall for around $8-10. Now this time I only bought rings because all the nice earings and other accessories were already sold out.




*I love owls!! I gave my son the nickname "little owlie" because of those big beautiful eyes he has. So whenever I see anything cute owl related, I must have it!*









That's all for now! Let me know if you like this type of blog posts. I know it's not makeup related but I wanted to venture into something else (: Hope you all have a wonderful day!
