FOTD + DIY Chokers and Wrap Necklace
I hope your week is going great so far! I wanted to share a mix of things with you today. First is a quick Face of the Day. Nothing special, just a mostly natural look. The standout factor would be the baby poop khaki green colored lipstick. I loved how it looked because it matched the faded parts of my hair. (My hair isn’t green anymore. I have a slight backlog of pictures that I haven’t gotten through yet.) The lip shade is Trouble from Lime Crime. I’m not a fan of the brand’s founder and I realize there is controversy surrounding the brand so I will not post reviews of their products. I’m not going to be throwing away my LC products so if one shows up on my blog then I will just mention it in passing and that will be all.
I also wanted to share with you a guide I created for eBay showcasing 5 Easy Do-It-Yourself Summer Accessories. Most of them are necklaces inspired by 90’s chokers and by the currently trendy Tumblr-esque wrap necklaces. I will be creating a How-To video tutorial on this in the near future. However, seeing as it’s already summer and these are so easy to make that they don’t require much visual explanation, you can click here to read the instructions for them in the meantime. All of these can be created in less than 10 minutes and the materials are very affordable. You can easily make a bunch for you and your friends to wear this summer (or anytime, really). Let me know if you decide to give these a go!

23rd Jun 2016 - 2:05 pmThankfully most of their lip colors are very dupeable now, but there are still some (like tis one) that are not quite as easy to find elsewhere.
