Sheer Miracle Follow-Up

I wanted to follow up on my previous post about Sheer Miracle makeup.

I purchased a sample kit which contains any 4 samples for $9.50 and have now been using it for a couple weeks.  For my samples I chose Mineral foundations in Light Warm and Light Cool and Finishing Powders in Glow and HD.

The Mineral Foundation
The foundation provides excellent sheer coverage and you can easily build the coverage.  I also used it as a concealer by just layering it on thicker in the areas needed and it worked great.  I love the radiant look that it gives my skin.

Now as most of you probably know I am extremely fair skinned which is why I chose the lightest colors available.  However, I wish I had gotten a shade darker.  I feel very washed out and have to layer bronzer to make me not look like a ghost.  So I recommend when first trying this to purchase two different shade levels.

Finishing Powders
I absolutely love the HD finishing powder; I think it is my favorite of the samples.  Not only does it give my face a flawless look but it feels amazing too.  My face feels super smooth after applying it.

The finishing powder in Glow I am not a huge fan of.  I chose glow over the matte because I like that dewy look every once in awhile but I feel that glow should be called shimmer instead.  It really is too heavy of a sparkle for my taste.  It will make a nice highlighter on my cheek bones so it won't go to waste.

Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase.  When comparing Sheer Miracle to other mineral foundations that I have tried I am impressed.  It seems to take less product for each application so maybe that means it is a little more concentrated and it gives great results.  I won't sit here and say that it is the only makeup that I will use because I still feel like there is something missing but it could just be me the perfectionist.

If you are interested in trying Sheer Miracle they have an offer you can't pass up.  Write a post in your blog, on your Facebook, or twitter about them, send them the link and they will give you a $10 credit towards your next purchase.  You can find more about this offer on there website.

Happy shopping!  I would love to hear what anyone else thinks about the product as well.

Mirror Makeover

  Finally!  Time to update my guest bathroom!  For my first project I updated the old boring mirror with some glass tile.  It turned out amazing! What you need: -Sand paper (80 grit) -1" Mesh mounted tile -Painters Tape -2 part clear Epoxy Glue (I used 2.5 tubes of gorilla glue) -Unsanded Tile Grout (and grouting supplies) Step 1 : Lightly sand the edges of the mirror.  Be sure only to sand the area the tile will be covering.  You only need to scratch it up a bit to be sure the glue adheres. Step 2 : Cut the mesh on the tile to the desired boarder size.  Mine is 3".  Be sure to trim the edges of the mesh as close to the tiles as possible. Step 3 : Mix 2 part epoxy.   Be sure to read the directions for the glue!  You won't want to mix all of it at once or it will set before you are able to use it all.   Apply glue to the back of the tile and position on mirror.  You have a few minutes to adjust the tile positio...

Harry Potter Crib Mobile

A good friend of mine, whom is a huge Harry Potter fan, welcomed her son Stryder last month.  As a baby gift I wanted to make her something with a Harry Potter theme for the baby room. I made Harry, Hermione, Ron, Snape, a snitch, Hedwig with Stryder's invitation to Hogwarts and the crests for all 4 houses with felt, glue, stuffing and thread.  I purchased an already mobile on clearance and took it apart covering the hoops with a new fabric and replacing the ribbons to sew the figures onto.  The only thing I was unable to do was find a music box that I could program with the Harry Potter theme song. The project took quite a bit of time but was an great way to create a personalized gift on a budget. Jameson had fun playing with the little figures.  He used them as shadow puppets and when he found out they weren't for him he asked me to make one for him. So we introduced Spiderman to the Harry Potter gang :)

Wood Growth Chart

This project is a little late.  It is something I have planned on doing for the last 3 years and just kept putting off.  Finally after my youngest son ripped the paper chart we have I decided I had to get something more permanent. I have seen all kinds of different options on Pinterest that were all simple enough to make but I just could never find one that really struck my interest.  So combining a few different ideas I came up with my own. I planned to make a tutorial out of this but it took a lot of trial and error before I finally got it complete and I'm not sure I could tell you all the steps it actually took.  I will tell you how it ideally would have gone.  If you want to try to take this on make sure you do a trial run on a scrap piece of wood! I started by measuring out the ruler and marking every inch.  Then I took a router with a round bit and routed out the lines.  This surprisingly was the easiest step of the whole process.  I...
