april favorites!

 hey guys. Sorry it's been so long!  finally ended my spring semester at school! April has been a pretty long month and its finally may so here are my favorite products of april!





Startin on the left, I have voluminous carbon black mascara, thank you shadow from bare minerals, elf cream concealer(shown in previous blog!), the loreal neautrals quad, Garnier skin renew anti- dark circle roller, stila make and impression in moscow pallete, and revlon colorstay concealer.  I didnt show every single one of these in detail but i promise they are worth the money!  Let me know if you try any of them :)

This is the concealer and i have been using it all month, if not longer.  I use it on my eyelids and under my eye.  On top of the concealer i put the bare minerals thank you.  The thank you shadow is matte and salmon colored so it counter acts the dark circles!
This is a more upclose picture of thank you and also showing the carbon black mascara.  Its a common favorite among many makeup lovers!
peaking of dark circles, i have had a while to try out my Garnier anti dark circle roller and it LOVE it.  i immediately fades the dark circles on contact because it has a slight tint.  This is definitely a permanent favorite.
Here is an upclose picture of the stila pallete.  I got it at sephora for like 10 bucks and i love the top right corner color!  its so gorgeous to wear by itself and gves your eyes a little pop!  The big color is a lipgloss.  the other quad i mentioned by loreal is also a very good thing to have in your collection. They are very wearable colors and they look great on all skin types!   

Thank you for reading and check back soon!

Make your hair extensions thicker!

Hey everyone!  I'm not dead! haha.  I've been having some problems with google and to make a long story short, i will no longer provide them with a place to put their advertisements.  But any way! this is a over due blog about how to make your hair extensions thicker!!!



I went to sallys and purchased some blonde extensions from the sassy collection that had not been cut or clipped yet.  they were only about 50 dollars.  In comparison, my already cut and clipped blonde extensions were 100 dollars also from sallys.




Instead of buying thread there, i used some embroidery thread we had around the house


The first thing you need to do is measure the length of your already cut and clipped extension.  Then, cut a piece slightly smaller out of your new extensions


This is my new piece,  it was just a hair shorter on each side than my regular extensions.  Put a little dab of super glue on the ends(where you just cut!) to prevent fraying.


Next, sew the two pieces together using any stitch you are comfortable with!  I am not a seamstress nor am i good at sewing so i used a basic stitch.  


after you sew all of your pieces together, your extensions will be nice and thick like this!!!!  This is how i look with my extensions now!


As you can see my ends are very thick and also i have quite a bit of length!
Let me know how your extensions turn out!  
Check back soon for more!  Thanks for reading!
