My DIY CD Makeup Palettes

Hey luvs,
I just wanted to show you guys my little art project that I have been working on for a while now. For the longest time I had wanted to invest in some mac palettes, until one day I stumbled upon a youtube video explaining how to make homemade palettes out of CD cases. After that, I decided to start my own little project and I just wanted to share the end results with you all. :D hope you guys like them and if any of you want to know how to make them, write a comment and I will do a How-To post. Other than that, enjoy the pictures!!!

My Colored Mascara Collection

Hey makeup lovers,
I am been obsessing over colored mascaras lately and I just had to share with you guys my stash. If you guys see any specific mascara that you would like me to do a review on, just leave a comment and I will try to make a post about it asap. Otherwise, this post will be mainly pictures.Enjoy!

Lancome Cils Booster Lash Primer:
(note:although this is NOT a colored mascara, I feel that this is essential when wearing colored mascara, because not only does it lengthen your lashes, it also allows the mascara color to be more vivid and more visible.)
