How to: Long Lashes

Hello everyone! For today, I want to show you how to get thicker and longer lashes! Please be aware that when I say thicker and longer I don't mean super dramatic lashes like you see in commercials! Enjoy and I hope this helps :)

1. Below is a picture of my natural lashes, no makeup and no mascara


2. Apply Concealer under the eye and set with a powder
3. Apply an eye/eye shadow primer of your choice
4.Apply a shimmery eye shadow close to the color of your skin on your entire lid
5. Highlight the inner corner of your eye to make your eyes appear larger and more awake
6.Apply black eyeliner to your waterline and upper lid as close as you can to your lashline to make the lashes appear thicker


7. Curl your lashes:
-Try heating your curler with a blow dryer for 10 seconds on low heat to keep your curl longer
-Curl your lashes in 3 sections
 -1: Start as close to the lash line and curl for 3 seconds
 -2: Move your curler up a bit and curl again for 3 seconds
 -3: Again move the curler near the tips of your lashes for another 3 seconds
-This helps your lashes stay in place and curling your lashes make them look longer


8. Apply your mascara and your done! :)
-I recommend Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara in Very Black (gives your volume and length)
-Apply a thin coat of mascara on TOP of lashes
-Apply a coat of mascara starting at the base of your lashes and wiggle the wand up to the tips
-Apply another coat and your done
-If you'd like apply 1 coat of mascara to your lower lashes

How to: Transform an old mirror

Hey everyone! Today I want to share how to take an old dusty mirror and make it look newer and modern for under $10! Enjoy!

1. So first off find in old mirror laying around your house
2. Clean the mirror well (this will help the spray paint stay on better)
3.Tape and cover the whole mirror with painters tape and newspaper/white paper

*My mom gave me this one and it was just sitting in my closet and I decided to make it more attractive rather than buying a new mirror



5. Choose any color spray paint you would like and spray 1 coat
6. Let the first coat dry  and spray 1 more coat
7. When your mirror is completely dry, remove the tape and paper

*I used Rust-Oleum Multicolor Textured Spray in the color Aged Iron
*I chose it because the spray paint is textured and gave it a really nice effect
*These cost around $5 at Wal- Mart



8. Hang on a wall, if you'd like put some mirror stickers around your mirror like I have done in the picture above

*I got those stickers at Garden Ridge for $10
