Blabber: about me

I have been so busy that I haven't had time to post. I am just going to tell you more about me and what is going on in my life right now. (: I think you should know about me . And I would love to know what's going on in your life also!

First, highschool is going good. It is not as stressful as I thought. Right now I am looking for clubs and sports to join. Do you do any sports or clubs? There was golf today and I went to try out. Now I have NeVER played golf except on wii so I was really nervous! I missed a ton but, I don't care because when I learn I can get better. We were actually only out side for about 20 minutes and it started pouring.! It seems like a fun sport to me because I am not a runner. I am just not a fan of it. I did track in middle school but, I just hate to run! And in golf you walk not run, which, is my type of sport. I hope I learn how to play and become good.
I also, joined a club. It is to help around the community and get community service hours. I have a very busy schedule right now. School, Sports, Homework that's my schedule right now. Let me know of things you do at your school below.

Now let's move on from school. I am 14. I know I get makeup advice from a 14 year old but, I do my research and know what I am talking about. (I think I do at least). I am someone that hates cussing! I hate it! I am a Christian. If you're not so what, we have our own beliefs but, I do not want ANYONE to say anything about God in a bad way below! Want to say something goods go for it. Bad? Keep quiet. That is just how I feel about that. Next, I love the colors lime green and pink. Neon/bright pink! I love peace sign! I will do more a different day as I need to go to bed for school tomorrow. Goodnight my blogger followers and let me know any thing about you below or request.
Love
Kurstin.

Makeup Storage


  
  Hey guys! Today was the 2nd day of highschool. It is truely not as bad as everyone says  I honestly don't like one class and i have another iffy one. I did walk my classes the day before which made it a bit easier . Is anyone else a freshmen? Moving On..Today I am going to be doing my makeup storage. I recently went through all my makeup and decided what to keep and what to throw out. I need took my what to keep stash and asked myself What do I use regularly? I then took that makeup and put it in my makeup storage that I am about to share with you. The makeup I didn't use regularly I put in a makeup bag in my dresses. I have access to it when I need it because I know where I put it. This is a cheap makeup storage idea. I believe it was $6 for everything. Let's get started. 


The 3 drawers are from Walmart, they are $5 and right now come in different colors for back to school. The ones they have now also, have storage for pencils which is excellent for brushes and has a top that you could place items in as well. I just used this one I had in my bathroom. My brush holder is a glass jar from the dollar tree that I use mod Podge and glitter to decorate. 

I placed my foundation on top with my loose powder, setting spray, and eye makeup removal wipes. I also placed my mirror that I got from the dollar tree. 

This is drawer #1. I put face products in here since I fist apply face products. I have 2 foundation I use sometimes in the back. One my Loreal souffle and the other is Covergirls Clean. Then I have a face primer, pressed powder, mini kabuki brush, and blushes. I have a bronzer under one of my blushes. Then I have a concealer, liquid blush, and a stick blush. 



Next I have eye products.  I have 2 mascaras and a brown,black, and white Eyliner mi also have an eye primer and liquid eyeliner pen. Then I have eyeshadows. I have my la color shimmer, a dollar tree pallette and physicians formula shimmer strip in Vegas strip. I don't have a ton because I use neutral colors and have two pallettes that you'll see in a second. I also keep a wet N Wild trio in walking on eggshells in this drawer as well. I just got it yesterday that is why it's not in the picture because I took them a couple days ago. 


Now lips. This is the last drawer. As you notice mine goes Face, eyes, lips. That is because that's the order I apply things. Make sure you put them in categories it will make it easier! I don't usually use lipsticks or gloss because I forget lol. I had a lot of lipsticks but picked my favorites and stuck them in here. Some are LA colors, some Claire's and others from Christmas and such. You're probably wondering well you have a eyelash curler. That's because it doesn't fit in my eye drawer so, I stuck it in this one too. That's another thing I forget to do is curl my lashes! ):  now would be all for my drawers. 


Here are my pallettes. I know they're not great pictures but, I can do a reveiw if you'd like. I keep this in my hair basket that sits on my dresser. One is a elf one that's a natural pallette and the other Santa brought me. Lol. It has many colors and is very pigmented. It was 7 dollars and it is made to be an "iPad". It's by Markwins International. ( Santa bought it from Walmart). That is all for my entire makeup collection that I leave out. I may do a post on ALL of my makeup in the future. 

Leave any request below as I would love it. Would you like to see more reviews, tips, tutorials, outfits, school organization, Let me know. 

Love, 
Kurstin. 
P.S. let me know if this post is good in format wise. I got an app that lets me pale pictures in order.

Tippy Tuesday: Skin Care

I feel like I haven't posted in forever. I am going to be doing my makeup storage soon. Please let me know of any other post you would like to see. I start high school Thursday and went to meet my teachers yesterday. I am not that happy about my schedule and am going to get one of my classes switched tomorrow. Today I wanted to share with you tips I have on skin care. I actually learned a new one recently and that was what made me want to do this post. Let's get started.

1. Are you washing your face twice a day? If you answered yes then STOP! You should just wash your face at night to remove makeup and then use a cloth to remove eye makeup. Since you're not sleeping with makeup on (I hope) then you shouldn't worry about washing your face in the morning. It is just making your skin dry and irritating. If you must just use warm water and run it over your face to wake you up! This is the tip I learned that I never knew. Time to switch my routine. Lol

2. Apply moisturizer to your face as soon as you are done washing it with soap and water. This helps lock in the moisture and helps to prevent unwanted wrinkles.

3. Drinking lots of water daily will help keep your face clear of breakouts keeping your face clear and healthy. 8 glasses a day is all it takes to have clear skin!

4. Give your face a break from makeup. Don't use foundation one day or go completely without makeup. Let your face breathe and feel the air. I like to just skip makeup on weekends to let my face and eyes have a break!

5. Always wear SPF! Even in winter months. You may not see it now but, wearing SPF helps your skin in the future. This is the one thing I always forget to do as well as moisturize. I actually have a moisturizer with SPF and still forget. I better get into that if I don't want to look 60 when I am 35.

I hope you guys learned something new because I sure did. Leave any request below and I hope you're enjoying the end of your summer. (well I assume)

Love Kurstin.

DIY: Glitter Phone/tablet case or brush holder

I for some reason the other night decided to randomly rearrange my makeup storage. As I keep getting more storage my little box is getting crowded. With this being said I am going to do a makeup storage post for tomorrow. Also, I decorated my brush holder which is what is actually the DIY. I made my plain black IPad case into a glittery pink case with a K and I made my clear brush holder into a blue glittery brush holder.

You will need :
•Mod Podge. Some say Elmer's glue miked with water is the exact same although I never tried it.
•Jar/phone case. I used a old candle jar for my bobby pin holder and a jar from the dollar tree for my brushes. My iPad case I got when I fist got my iPad from game stop for $5.
• Glitter. Mine is from Walmart and it came with all different colors for $7 however I would just look for $1 glitter from the dollar store.
• Paint Brush.
• Clear adhesive.
Optional: If using your initial you will need a letter. I printed one and cut it out and taped it with double sided tape.

If doing initial tape it down where you would like it now before you use mod Podge.
1) Dip your paint brush in the Mod Podge and 'paint' it all over your case or jar.
2) Sprinkle glitter all over it.
3) Tap the case or jar and get all the extra glitter off.
4) Let Dry.
5) Carefully pull up letter and there will be your outline. Now put mod Podge where there is no glitter for you letter. Use a small brush. Then sprinkle what other color of glitter you have.
6) Let everything dry and then spray with adhesive.

School Dazzle: $6 Makeup Look!!

I hate spending a lot of money on makeup. Almost all of makeup was under $10 for an item. One place I love to get makeup from is the dollar store. You're probably thinking I am crazy however, my best makeup comes from there. It is usually better than items I spend $7 on. I will admit I do not like most dollar store lipgloss or mascara. My favorite makeup brand is LA colors. There makeup is wonderful and is the makeup I fist ever used. Today's post is a whole makeup look for $6. I thought it was great for girls on a budget and that need makeup for school.

The products I use are
LA Colors: (Sold at dollar Tree, Dollar General, and Family Dollar)
Shimmering Loose Eyeshadow in Snow White $1
Foundation (as eye primer) $1
Pressed Powder in Nude $1
Lipstick/gloss (only gloss I actually like) in Twinkle. $1
ELF: (sold at Target or eyeslipsface.com)
Shimmering Eyeliner Pencil in black $1
Lengthening and Defining Mascara in black. $1
** I actually suggest Wet N Wilds color icon eyeliner in black. (sold at Dollar General, CVS, Walgreens for $1) I couldn't find it so I used the ELF one.

For eyeshadow they have really pretty browns if you do not like the white. I really love the white one for a quick look or when I want my eyeshadows shimmery. All you do is apply it right over the color. I LOVE shimmery eyeshadows. I just think they are so pretty and add glam to my eyes.

Please leave any request you have below. !
