So this one was something I thought would be super fun! I watch beauty guru's on youtube and I have watched all of them do this with their boyfriends or husbands, you have your man do your makeup!
Jason and I were watching some soccer on tv (Portland Timbers baby!) and eating root beer floats, which have become a nightly pretty regular after dinner treat, when I suggested this to him. (Well, I was loosely watching the game, I was actually paying more attention to one of my favorite youtube beauty guru's, missglamorazzi.)
I looked at him and said, "You wanna do something really fun tonight?" I must have had a really cheesy grin on my face because he knew something was up immediately! He told me that there was a 97% chance he would say no to whatever I was about to propose, but I knew he would do it :)
I told him that he should put on my full face of make up, which normally looks something like this.
Well, he resisted at first, saying it wouldn't be fun (even though he was smiling), but when he started to do it he got really into it!! He was asking what everything was, how you put it on, where it went, and if it went on in a specific order. And he was laughing so hard by the end of this he could barely finish putting on my makeup!
We had a really great time doing this and even though its definitely not something we would do every day, it was so much fun!
So, here is my before face. Well, not really before, just an acceptable photo of myself wearing no makeup lol
The only thing in the picture above that has really changed is my hair length, its a ton longer now!
Here is all of my makeup that I laid out for him to choose from. No, he was not supposed to use all of this and I am seriously glad he didn't ;)
I know you are waiting for the grand reveal, if you haven't already skipped down and peeked at it, but we are almost there! While he was putting on my makeup, he told me there was no way he was going to curl my lashes because he didn't want to rip them out, nor was he going to put any eyeliner on me because he was scared to poke my eye out, even though I assured him he would do just fine. I can now say he probably would have poked my eye out, just look at my lips lol. Just kidding, I love him :) Without further ado, here is my lovely, fiance-done makeup!
Just look at that blush, what a great makeup artist my man is!! Aren't I gorgeous?
So, I actually did something from my pinterest today!!!! I made some braided headbands, 6 actually. This is my first official pinterest challenge completion!
I ended up going on a bit of an adventure to find my fabric. I drove downtown to a fabric shop that has the most ADORABLE fabrics ever, seriously know where I'm buying quilting fabric! But that was the problem. I was in search of jersey knit and all they had were quilting fabrics. :(
So I decided to go to Joanne's, which I normally don't do because I close to hate their fabric selection. But I lucked out this time...
I bought plum, bubblegum, and floral print fabrics and they are gorgeous!! I only bought a 1/4 of a yard in each and it ended up being enough to make 2 headbands in the same color, now I will hoard these have to find someone to gift these to! ;)
I decided that through-out this little challenge I have set for myself, if I do project from a tutorial I will post where I found the tutorial.
So here is where I found my headband tutorial: http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2011/06/repurposing-tshirts-into-5-strand-braided-headbands.html
And this is the finished product!
Lovely, right? Now, on to the next project!!
I am sure that I'm not to first to admit this, nor shall I be the last. I am completely obsessed with the image hosting site, Pinterest.
I currently have 1,369 pins and 23 boards. Holy Crap.
I pin everything on my pinterest - makeup and fashion ideas, wedding plans, recipes, home decorating ideas, gift giving ideas, and don't even get me started on my massive Harry Potter nerd board.
This is one of the most helpful websites for organizing the things that I am passionate about, but I find that all I'm doing with those things is pinning them. I'm not putting any of those things to use.
So I am creating a challenge for myself. I am going to complete 30 things through-out all of my boards before I pin anything else to them. They can be small things or large things, like creating a slip cover for my couch or making a braided headband from an old shirt.
Let the creativity begin!
