Younique 3d Mascara

Younique 3D mascara Review

Here it is!

Well folks, there it is what do you think? I was very skeptical about this mascara but I saw the awesome reviews on Facebook so I decided to put it to the test.

I am a make up lover. I love playing with it! Halloween is my favorite because I get to do all the stuff I can't do on a daily basis. So, I hear of a mascara that will make my lashes up to 300 times longer and fuller. Hell yes, hook me up.

So, purchase it, I did. And I anticipated for a long time putting it on. Had to clean my eyes make sure everything was perfect and ready to go for this brand-new amazing mascara!

Now, anybody who reads this who loves this mascara may want to kill me. Because my review this mascara is not what everybody else claims it to be. Now my lashes above look nice and long and everything. But, only one of those eyes is a 3-D mascara. The other is a $3.97 Rimmel extra long lashes.

Okay, scandal flex. Whatever. AnyWho, I clean my lashes wash my face and did not put any other make up on except for the two mascaras. Can you guess which is which? Maybe, but there's no big huge noticeable difference between the two, in my opinion. Each eye has three layers, I guess you would call it. One of the 3-D lashes the other of the Rimmel.

I followed all instructions and even looked on YouTube to see if there was some technique or something that I wasn't doing properly there wasn't. 

Again, can you tell which is which?

I do plan on continuing to use it, to see if with time application gets better. I also started to use a eyebrow brush to help spread out the lashes and hopefully make them a little bit better today is my second application, no third application, of this mascara and I use the brush my lashes. It looks better but still I'm not sold. Don't get me wrong it's a nice mascara but it's also $30 and the other one is just under $4. 

So who knows what time my opinion could change but for now I'm going to go with the $4 mascara. But if things change as I use it,  I will change my review.

Sorry!!! 😁

$5 Frozen Pillow DIY

Hey everyone! So today I am going to show you how I made my daughter a Frozen pillow for around $5.

You see, it all started when my youngest was carrying around the Frozen DVD case, she's about 18 month and would fall with it in her hand. I was always scared she would hurt herself, so I wanted a Frozen pillow for her. Olivia had one so I thought it would be easy to find...yeah, it wasn't. So, again, like I said before, using my reusing abilities. I had remembered seeing Frozen T-shirts at 5 Below I figured I could use that to make her a cute, cuddly pillow! It worked- YAY! Here is my cut 'em up get done, nothing fancy but cute pillow instructions!!!

So I ran to grab a tshirt. They had tons of cute designs. I wanted all 3 characters and something with striaght edges that would be easy to follow. Nothing obscure. I found this design, but grey.

So I turned it inside out, pinned it together (so it was ready to sew) and cut the arms and neck hole off...

 After everything was cut, I was left with this...

I sewed all edges together (I am not a seamstress, so please forgive me anyone with awesome sewing skills! I'm sure I jacked something up somewhere)... Leave on small corner open so you can turn it inside out and stuff (see below)...

Opening I left...

 Then, I snipped the corners, while still inside out...

Next, I filled it with fluff from Joann Fabrics. Or, in my last tutorial, I had a pillow we never used, so I cut it up and stole it's fluff. Then just freely stitched the opening closed...

 And there you have a full stuffed Frozen pillow!

She's in love!

Hope you can create and enjoy! Post a pic if you do!!

DIY Light up stuffed animal less than $5

Every year we do a Lighting of the Lights party. It occurs on the day Chicago lights up Michigan avenue. With two little kids the idea of heading out to see the lights light up is very, very scary. So... that is how this party was born. We typically invite a few close family and friends to share in the festivities. It's pretty lax, apps, drinks and convo. But fun. The catch is you must bring a light up element. We've had some pretty cool things! Things we've done...

I lit up my daughter one year! I sewed some pockets in a dress and put in light sticks!

Chad, one year, bought a "Starry Night" photo and inserted lights in the stars!

When Snuggies were awful but in, I bought 2 from 5 Below and hot glued lights in and glued them together. Fire Hazard, I'm sure but fun none the less. It's really warm and I must admit (hanging my head down) I still wear it when I am cold. 

But this year the Liv wanted to make something on her own. Oh jeez, gotta think of something fr her too now. But Dollar Tree to the rescue!

I picked up a animal washcloth and a push light. I had the fluff and velcro- well, my last minute "I can't find my velcro what can I cut up version" of Velcro. You'll find with me, I am a re-user, recycler, upcycler and a just find a way to get in done gal! So, anywho, I cut up an old item with velcro- think weird velcro, buuut this is just for fun, you could fix it any way you wanted...

1. So we added a ton of fluff to the head first. Then we added fluff to the body, but we pushed it flat to the bottom of the animal. 

2. After that, we added the light and then fluff on top of that.

(You can adjust the fluff so that you can't feel the light.)

3. Then, I glued half of the bottom closed with the glue gun. I left the other half of the bottom open. Ugly, but had it been for something more 'serious' and not just for fun, I would have taken the time to sew and use real velcro! ;)

4. We added the velcro. This makes it so I can replace the batteries on your light. 

Tap the tummy and, wahla...it's a $2 light up stuffed animal. 

Something fun for the kids to do, pretty much, on their own.

Lit up and....

not!

Enjoy my friends! Your kids will love it!
