Today I put up a video after almost 2 weeks, and I decided to do the Project 10 Pan.
I have been buying make up that I end up not using so I think its time to finish up some products before buying more. The last thing I bought was the Viva Glam Nicki lipstick and that is it! I am so tempted to go and buy stuff specially since I got the ULTA ad in the mail but I gotta pass on it and I also cant watch haul videos because then I will feel like shopping. lol I sound like an addict but honestly is not that bad, I really have to finish what I have before I have to get rid of it. I will update in 2 weeks and we will see how it goes.
Have you tried this?

Fierce & Tangy: Tutorial

Hi there, so I decided to film a tutorial showing you how I use the Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Shadow in Fierce & Tangy. I love this color and it looks really good with brown, but I wanted to switch it up a tiny bit, because I am always using brown eye shadows. I really like how this looks. May not look to appropriate for the weather right now, but spring is coming up and it will be perfect then :D.
I hope you enjoy this look, and I will list all the products I used to create it.

*Products used:
+Too Faced Shadow Insurance

**FACE**
+Monistat gel (as primer)

DIY braided bracelet: EASY

Hello lovelies, today I have a very exciting post for you all, well at least I think this is exciting lol, I love anything DIY and a few days ago I made some bracelets that I think are super cute and fun.

It is super EASY to create this bracelets and the best part is that you can switch up your materials and create something according to your taste ;) so lets get started..
what you will need.
all you see is a regular 3 strand braid, but you put a bead on strand #1, which of course becomes strand #2 when braiding, then a bead on strand #3, which also becomes strand #2 when braiding.
Before reaching your desired length, make another 1 or 1/12 inch braid (depends on your desired length) then make double knot, (big enough to fit in the loop you did at the beginning) and not come undone when you wear it.
I hope you enjoyed this super easy DIY bracelet, and if you get a chance to try it out don't forget to share, or tweet me a pic @Kmanzo01
Have an awesome day
xoxo Karen,
