How to make a Clipless Curling Iron

Hey everyone! Today I have a post for all of you teaching you how to make a clipless curling iron. Clip less curling irons have been getting a lot of hype because they are easy to get beaching waves/curls! What you do is wrap the hair around the iron and then hold it! I have decided to take one of my curling irons with a clap and make it clamp less!


What you need:


A curling iron
A philips head screw driver


Steps:


1.Take the thing I am pointing to off (I do not know the name sorry). All you have to do is pull it and it will come off!

2. Use the screwdriver and unscrew the the screw (I did not need the screw driver for mine because for some reason it just came out when I pulled it)

3. Now you have to unscrew the spring with the screw driver

4. An then you are finished! And ready to curl your hair!

I love the way the curls look with a clip less curling iron so if you want me to posts pics let me know!


Hope you enjoyed this super simple DIY.

Leopard Eyes!

Hey everyone so I am so excited for this post! I was looking through my blog and realized I have not done a makeup tutorial in so long! So I looked through my makeup and decided I would attempt to do Leopard eyes and make a post out of them if they look good! I love the way they turned out! So lets get started!


1. Prime eyes with primer. I used Too Faced but any one will work fine.

2. Next I applied a gold cream eyeshadow from elf in the color Butter Pecan but I took a picture of some alternates too. (to show you that you do not have to use exactly what I use!)

 3. Apply a gold color to your lid. I mixed two colors from two different palettes but you can chose any gold shadow you want!

4. After, I applied a color to my crease from an ELF Palette in Butternut.

5. Then to my outer corner I went back to the Wet n Wild Palette and applied a dark color that looks like a dupe for MACs Beauty Marked.

6. BLEND!! I used and elf blending brush

7. Apply a highlight color, I used the Wet n Wild color Brulee which I absolutely LOVE!


8. Next line your eyes, on top I used a bronze color from Wet n Wild then on my waterline I used ELF shimmering eye pencil (the black one) and apply mascara

 NOW ONTO THE FUN PART!

9. Use a FELT tip eye liner in black or dark brown an start making little "c" right under where your brow ends (like in the picture)

10. Since you are going to be using a mineral eyeshadow, apply eyelash glue (or clear lipgloss) just inside the "c".

11. Next take a really small brush and I am using the color Golden by ELF and apply it to the glue.

YOU HAVE ACHIEVED THESE BEAUTIFUL LEOPARD EYES! (I do not know if I would wear these to school or work but if you are daring then thats totally up to you!)

Let me know what you think!

I don't know if it is a "food" but I love gum. I love when my breath smells good and I literally chew like 5 pieces a day (even though it is probably really bad)


8. Does your family know you are blogging (+reaction)? If no, why haven't you told them?


Yes, my family does know I am blogging and they are happy for me! Also, when I get obsessed with something I literally don't stop talking about it so I think they are probably really happy that I keep telling all of my reader (blogger friends) instead of them about all of my makeup! hahah


9. Favorite song?


I don't really have one I just listen to whatever is on the radio on 20 on 20.


10. Describe your self in three words.


Obssessed with makeup hahah not I would say; caring, talkitive and easygoing.

I love necklaces

I can't stand it when people have very chipped nail polish on (its kindof weird I know but it just bothers me)

31. The best nail polishes you have ever used?


I loved OPI's Russian Navy for the winter!


32. Your favorite perfume?


Pink's Soft and Dreamy

FINALLY A HAUL!

Hey everyone! I feel like it has been months since I did my last haul. I have not bough makeup in so long because I was trying to use up some of the things that I have. I finally went to target and picked up some things so I will show you now! 

The reason for the trip to target was to get the Conair Spiral Rollers because I have went to all of the drugstores that were within 5-10 minutes of my house and they did not have them or they were sold out. :( The target is only about 20 minutes from my house and I was so happy that they had them!

 Also, I was almost out of my concealer so I decided to pick another concealer up. It is not the one that I have been using so I will try it out and then if you want I will let you know if it is good. 

I also purchased an ELF matifying powder because I needed a powder and thought I would try it because I love ELF!

In addition, I bought a clear fast dry topcoat from NYC. I love to paint my nails but I am so impatient so I hope this really does dry fast!

And lastly I bought a foundation by NYC and it is a shade adjusting foundation. I think the concept of the foundation that changes to your skin color is so cool so I thought I would try it out! I hope it does not look cakey or break me out (lets keep our fingers crossed!) I will do a review on it probably! 

My whole haul only costed about 30 dollars! Which is really good for 5 makeup items!


I have a lot of posts in my head, all I have to do is find time to post them! :)


Hope you all enjoyed! 


(I bought everything with my own money)


Happy Saint Patricks Day!
