Fall Makeup Favorites

  I use this L’Oreal Double Extender PRIMER, (white side) then add one layer of the Maybelline Lash Sensational for my first layer of my mascara process. After, I let that dry and set up a bit... I add either one of these mascaras that give me VOLUME. Daytime (I add one coat) Nighttime (I add two or three.)    My absolute favorite lipliners are MAC cosmetics. These pencil style lipliners wear well and are easy to apply. These (3) colors are my NEW favorites this season.   I am a huge fan of lipstick...

Kitchen Table DIY

This is a Pottery Barn kitchen table Jason got me for Valentine's Day, Oh... probably 20 years ago! I still LOVE it's style but wasn't loving the COLOR. I almost got ride of it a few times but finally came to the realization it was only the color I wasn't liking. So, I decided to see if I could change the color to something I liked? (I'm glad I did) I headed down to Home Depot and bought a sander (exact one HERE) Came straight home and went to work. One of my Instagram friends stained a door in her room with this same stain and I ended up loving that. So, why not give this a try on my table? I bought this OLD BARN MILK PAINT in the … [Read more...]
