Smart and Sassy Keys!

Hi Friends! I hope your having an amazing weekend. I want to share a little project that's quick but cute. I'm always confused by all the different keys I have on my key ring, and of course I could buy one of those colored thing, but that's boring! I saw this on Pinterest, and had to do it. Adding glitter to your keys is a great way to tell the difference between keys, while looking girly and cute. Smart and Sassy!  I love glitter, like who doesn't?!?



Here's what I used;
Glitter Glue ($1.00 at Joanne's Fabric)
Glitter ($1.00 at Joanne's)
Clear nail polish
Your key



Take the glitter glue and outline the top of the key. The more glue you use, the clumpier it will look, so try not to use too much.


This is what it will look with the glitter glue. You could always stop here, but I wanted more glitter!


While the glue is wet, dip it into the glitter. You might have to do the entire top of the key. Make sure to shake off the excess.


Tada! You have a blinged out key. Your going to repeat the same steps for the opposite side. The last add clear nail polish to both sides. This will help keep the glitter in place.


Here's how silver and gold look. I really like the gold key!
::note to self:: Paint my nail tonight, my nails are a hot mess lol

IT'S PRIME TIME!

PRIME TIME by smallysmallz04 featuring a face makeup
Hey friends, today I want to talk about PRIMER. I'm not too sure how many of you do or do not use one. I'm very curious to know as well. I use one, every time I do make up (except for when I'm half asleep and forget). I started using one about 5 years ago and instantly saw a difference.  I have larger sized pores and uneven skin tone. My primer helps reduce the pore size and even out my skin before applying my foundation. Some primers can can be just as expensive as the foundation, but I highly recommend spending that extra money, so you get the best results from your foundation. I think it's just like an eye shadow base, you don't have to have one, but your eye make up will look so much better when you wear one. Even if your not wearing liquid foundation, a primer can be worn before mineral foundation, concealer, powder, or worn alone. Wearing a primer can help your makeup stay on longer, look less crusty around dry patches (cause I know we all have them), fill in fine lines, and help combat excess oil. I absolutely love how smooth and soft my skin feels after applying a primer. Nobody wants to add another step to their routine, but this step is only going to enhance your look.

 MAC Prep and Prime is the one that I tried first, and still love to this day. I highly recommend this one! The other one on my list that I've tried to fall in love with is the Smashbox Photo Finish. I just recently brought the color correcting and didn't notice a difference at all. My make-up went on the same and didn't last all day. I know tons of other girls who love it, so it might just be me!

I hope you go to your local Sephora and get a sample of any of these primers, I promise you won't be disappointed. Sephora is the best for samples you can try any product they sell. This takes away some of the pressure of buying something you aren't sure you'll like. If you have any primer recommendations, let me know so I can try them! Thanks for stopping by, talk to you soon!

Martha Stewart Glitter Glue Manicure!

If your like me and love to wear glitter polish on your nails, then here's a tip that I've found and want to share with you.  Go to your local craft store and purchase the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue, it cost about 12.99 for the one I purchased, but they have a larger one with a ton of colors for 29.99. I know that sound a little expensive, but right now Michael's has a 40%off coupon as well as a 20% of your total purchase including sale items. This will cut that price in half and make it much more affordable.


I used Essie Brizillant, Lemon Drop Glitter Glue, and Essie Good to Go top coat.



Paint your nails like you normally would. I did 2 coats of the Essie polish.



Now your going to pick out the color glitter glue you want to use. This set doesn't have any gold or silver, which I wish it did, so I'm thinking about going back to get those colors. I don't have a picture but I applied the glue to the whole nail, then took my top coat and smoothed it all out.
** Every time I touched the glitter with the top coat brush I made sure I wiped it off, so mot to get glitter in my top coat**



Here's the finished product! Having the Martha Stewart Glitter Glue is like having a bunch of different glitter polishes, for half the cost! I can't wait to play around more with them and see what color combos I can come up with!

Chevron Boxes

For the last couple weeks I've been doing a few projects to decorate the bathroom. I have most of it complete, all that's left to paint, and  then a few random things. I saw these boxes at Target that had a chevron lid, and were super cute. So I took that idea and made it work for the bathroom. I haven't done too many step by step tutorial, so please bear with me! If it sucks, I'm sorry.

                                                                



 There you have it friends, I hope you try to decorate with boxes. If you have or are going to please share it with me, because I'd love to see! Thanks for reading and supporting my blog.
