Lip balm
Thanks for joining me for Day 8 of the 14 Days of Love project! If you have been following along you know that Dana from Wonder Forest and myself teamed up to shared 7 projects each (over the course of 2 weeks) with a sort of 'love' theme to them. What's great is that practically all of the projects we have shared, which you can view here and here, can be used for anytime of year! Today I'm sharing a little 2 ingredient beauty recipe for you that is so insanely easy, honestly the worst part about this project is the clean up.. like I'm talking greasy ass clean up so either use disposable supplies or get ready for some dish washing fun.. This tutorial is the most popular post on my blog with thousands of page views and pins from Pinterest (thanks so much!). Vaseline or a petroleum free alternative (if you want something more natural) kool-aid or crystal light microwave safe bowl spatula (spoon) lip gloss containers (I purchased 4 for $1 at michaels)
making chapstick « tidytipsy.photography
When the weather gets cooler my mind turns not only to knitting but also to making body products. I made chapstick already last year, but wasn’t overly happy with the recipe, so I tried a different one this year. I used: 20% beeswax 25% coconut oil 15% cocoa butter 40% olive oil No coloring, no scent, no smell. I actually like the faint smell of beeswax :) I was aiming for three or four tubes worth of chapstick and eyeballed the quantity. Now I’m not that good with numbers, so eyeballing was probably not the best idea in the first place. The process is very simple: 1. 2. 3. Done! Like this: Like Loading...

5 ways to get more wear out of a too-pale lipstick
Meet Illamasqua Plunge. It's a lovely mauve pink colour in the tube but I just can't wear it on its own without looking like a throwback from the 60s mod era.

So if you have a lipstick that you just can't wear because it's too pale, here are 5 ways to get more wear out of it. What lipstick do you own that needs a lot of work in order to look good?
Make Your Own Lip Gloss
Living in Florida, I've ended up melting my favorite chap stick (Burt's Bees) in the car too many times to count. Usually I try to set it upright to cool, and hope it resettles the right way, but somehow it's never the same. So when I saw this DIY lip gloss tutorial, I thought it would be a great use for my melted chap stick. What you need: 1. What you do: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Smokey Eye Bridal Tutorial
I do love a smokey eye. A bride, in her pristine white dress with a slightly edgy, shimmery, smokey eye is such a beautiful, modern bridal look. Photography by Sean Flanigan Gone are the days when brides only had two looks to choose from on their wedding day ~ the bare faced, virginal, barely there look or the OTT, Dancing on Ice/drag queen ‘got to pile it on for the photos’ look. Brides can be more adventurous and actually have fun with their make up ~ hurrah! Smokey eyes are not strictly a night time look anymore either. Here are some celebrities showcasing their stunning, smoldering, smokey eye make up… Top row: Fashion Bomb Daily | RBT | Project Wedding | Bottom Row: Smokey Eye Tips | RBT | Project Wedding I think the smokey eye is a truly universal look, it doesn’t matter what skin tone or eye colour you have, there’s a smokey look to suit you.

Want to banish undereye circles in the blink of an eye? Pass the parsley. It's rich in vitamin K, a nutrient that, when applied topically, reduces blood flow to the eye area—a key factor in the formation of circles, says Kansas City, Missouri—based dermatologist Audrey Kunin, MD, founder of DERMAdoctor. "Over time, the fatty layer of skin under your eyes thins out, which, in turn, makes underlying blood vessels more visible," she explains. "Their slightly bluish color is what creates the illusion of circles underneath the eyes."
