A Marvelous Mess and Features!!!

I have been busy peoples. I'm going to be part of an Art Walk on December 7th...and on top of that, a friend asked me to make some crafts to sell at her business. So, I'm a little behind on party this week! What do you think of my latest ornament? It's a vintage tin (maybe a tart tin?) with a fake pearl bead and some vintage silver thread on top. Now, I'm just wondering how to price it. Maybe I'll go on Etsy and wander around, get a sense for similar items prices. What would you pay for this? The antique tin kinda changes the game a bit. 

Now, here are my faves from last week:
Thanksgiving Banner from Pinkie For Pink

And, the post I'm going to feature on my sidebar for a week is...

Apple Eggnog Trifles from Aunt B on a Budget. Gawd, that looks good!!!

Congrats!!!

If I featured you in this post, this button is for you!!

What Beauty Products to Look for if You Have Sensitive Eyes

If you wear contacts or have sensitive eyes it’s no easy feat finding the right makeup that won’t irritate your eyes. It’s really frustrating if you’re out and about and all of a sudden your contacts start bugging you due to eye shadow that isn’t staying in place or running mascara due to an emotional scene from a movie. Gentle and long-lasting makeup is what you’re after, and not to mention budget friendly makeup is important too. That’s why you can get promotional codes here at Sidepon.com for a fabulous outfit, find affordable makeup that won’t irritate your eyes and enjoy mascara and other great products that will also stay put! Whew, feel better now?

Waterproof Mascara and Eyeliner –

It’s understandable if you’re wary about trying waterproof mascara and eyeliner because it’s hard to get off, but it will be even more annoying if you’re out running errands or picking up the kids and all of a sudden have eyeliner or mascara stuck in your eyes. This will irritate your contacts which could affect your vision and of course you don’t want any of this to happen! Needless to say, waterproof mascara and eyeliner is the way to go. They won’t flake, smudge, and will also dry quickly, which will keep your eyes makeup free and your contacts in without a problem all day! Oh, and back to your concern about taking your waterproof makeup off – find a gentle eye makeup remover that won’t irritate your eyes or skin. Of course you should take your contacts out first, but after successfully removing your contacts, use a lightweight makeup remover that will soothe your eyes and help your face feel refreshed.

Gentle Eye Shadow and an Eye Shadow Primer –

Yes, there is such a thing as gentle eye shadow. In fact, you’ll know if eye shadow is gentle by whether it makes your eyes itch or feels just right. If you’re not sure where to start, look for organic lines that are made for sensitive skin. Also, consider investing in an eye shadow primer. This will keep your shadow in place all day and will also prevent eye shadow flaking, which could land in your eyes and irritate them, which could lead to contact issues. Some primers also have other ingredients that soothe your eyes, which will protect your lids from irritants throughout the day. Protect your contacts and eyes from irritating makeup and you’ll feel fresh and beautiful all day long.
