Makeup Monday: Spring Lips

-

Happy Monday to you! Hope that you had a wonderful weekend. I know that this is a bit late into the Spring season but I really wanted to do a Spring Lip Pick for 2015, I actually was planning this post for about a month now but I just did not have time to do any swatches.

Since there are sooo many products on the market, I am sticking with shade selections instead of naming specific brands. Most of these items are drugstore and can be found at Walmart or Target. I will be doing more makeup reviews in the future, I am really just trying to work out a schedule right now for life/blogging. So without any more explanation, on to the color choices!

Rose Toned Lips


If you haven't noticed by now, nude pallets are popping up everywhere and from every major drugstore brand. With nude eyes trending this Spring, rose toned lipsticks and glosses are the perfect pair for a great daytime smokey eye look. These colors will add just enough pigment to your lips to brighten your skin, while offering you a natural makeup look.


Pink


Hello, Barbie! I am loving this lip trend. While all of these shades seem to appear the same, they do vary in pigment and formula. If I had to chose, I got have to pick the Wet n Wild Lipstick (#3) as my top choice because the rich pigment is long lasting, the formula is creamy, and it was only $0.88 at Target! See below:



Peach/ Coral



Make your skin appear brighter with peach and coral lip tones. I really love the Peach Poppy shade above. The formula is creamy yet offers a natural look. These colors would also be a great pair for nude eyes.


Nude Lips


Personally, when I think nude lips, I think dark eyes but not in 2015! This Spring, Nude is trending and this includes lips. So if you are after a complete "no-makeup" look, finish your face with a nude lip. I am still indifferent about how I feel about this trend, personally.

    I love your expose' on makeup. I don't use a lot of makeup anymore but I enjoy reading about the different brands and what you think of them. So nude colors are in now? Reminds me of the 60's and that nude pink lipstick was all the rage. I wore it but looking back at photos now it looks like I have no lips at all!!

Trial Tuesday: Removing Printed Labels From Plastic

So if you have been following my blog. you know that I have really been getting more organized in 2015. One way that I continue to add new items to my home is to recycle the products that I use. Recently, I came across this Pin that I wanted to try out for baking ingredient storage: find this tutorial on www.hometalk.com Now while this idea is very clever I wasn't sure if I would use paint to redo the cans that I have. This got me thinking about another Pin that I saw on Pinterest about removing printed labels with nail polish remover. Found on www.2busybrunettes.com After I saw this Pin, I checked it out on YouTube and with thin plastic, it does work. With this in mind I wondered if I could remove the label from the Folgers Container. Which brings us to this weeks trial. TRIAL What You Will Need: Before: Directions: Fold a piece of paper towel and soak it in nail polish remover.  Place nail polish soaked paper towel on the label for 5 minutes.

Trial Tuesday: Removing Scratches From Wood

If you haven't figured it out by now, furniture is not made like it used to be. For this reason, when looking for wooden pieces I usually opt for the old, heavy wooden pieces over the plywood of today. So, when I look for furniture, it's typically at a thrift store or rummage sale. I take such pride in finding pieces and repurposing them. You can take something old and make it like new with a little effort. While repainting furniture can be fun, it is even better when you find a piece that just needs a good cleaning. So when I came across the Pin below, I was very curious to see if this technique worked. TRIAL What You Will Need 1/2 Cup Olive Oil 1/2 Cup Vinegar Wash Cloth Before Directions Mix vinegar and oil. Use a wash cloth to apply the mixture to your scratch. Repeat steps if necessary. After Results: FAIL Note that literally nothing happens. Now, while this scratch is pretty deep, isn't that the point? I did try thi
