Crochet Hair Bow- Kawaii and Kim Tia Inspired

Kawaii Crochet Bow Hair Pin! 

Thanks to Kim Tia, I have been getting into crocheting. I am still a novice. I tried to make a cupcake with my bf and it looks like a huge tilting ice cream sunday right now. So after looking at the bow, I realized that this was more simple.

Basically a rectangle was made with a single crochet stitch, about 4 inch by 3 inch.
Then a strip was made that was two rows long. It was wrapped around the rectangle and a button was added in the center. Then everything was sewn together!

Lastly a bobby pin was sewn in on the back!

What do you think? Please let me know!

Ludanmei Eyeshadow and Blush Palettes

These palettes were purchased from Sasa.com and they were around $7.00 each and they are AMAZING! Super shimmery and super pigmented!!!! 

This brand Ludanmei is based out of Hong Kong. This is all Sasa sells by this brand. They do have a website, and sell beautiful makeup! 

The eyeshadows are made mainly of talc and mica.

The blushes are on the far left of my hand, the rest are eye shadows. I love the yellow blue and gray. They are so shimmery and pigmented for the price. I am so impressed. They are also very smooth and soft and with a primer last all day!
This the other palette that they sell. The shimmer also goes all the way through the shadow. Its not just topical at all. 
Beautiful deep spanish colors! The very top colors are the blushes.

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara

This stuff is crazy amazing! Just look at my before and after! 

I just love how to tube looks like a black/red stiletto heel!
The mascara has a slight weird odor but not to bad. The brush is narrow at the end and wide at the top just like the heel. I am using soft black.
These are my eyelashes without mascara! You can see I have shorter lashes. A cosmetologist told me that I had medium length lashes and medium fullness.
BAM!!! After using lash stiletto! The length is crazy! It does not offer any thickening but it makes my eyelashes look crazy long! 
At the end of the day, there is no smudging and no debris on my face! Definitely worth buying! Remember it is not good for providing volume so if you have sparse eyelashes this is not the mascara for you.

Kawaii Cupcake from Kimberly Tia of Batyoureyelashes Blog

So I love Tia's kawaii crafts. She is very good and she loves doing it! I bought this little cupcake from her and she even personalized it for me! I asked to have curly frosting on the end and a brown bottom. 

I love the cherry and sprinkles!!!
Its so soft and cushy!

I highly suggest supporting Tia's craft. http://kawaiicraftsbytia.blogspot.com
Look at the easter egg candy on the inside! how cute! She also made me beautiful little magnets.
ohh look a little piece of confetti on the inside! Did I mention that she filled it with candy magnets and confetti? and wrapped it in pretty green confetti tissue paper?

Its so fun! I think I am going to fill mine with something makeup oriented or jewelry.

Hey Tee Tee, you should make a kawaii jewelry box! 

Thank you so much for my strawberry cupcake. I'll think of you when I look at it!

Lioele Natural Mineral Powder

I really like this powder. As you may have already read, I am trying to only wear non-comodeogenic powders. This powder has no talc, oil, or preservatives and is fragrance free. 


It mainly contains  zinc oxide, titanium oxide, carnauba wax, amino acids, vitamin E, and silver oxide.
The powder poof has a very soft velvet feel.

I went with #21. 
When its rubbed in, it has a very soft feel. It offers a medium coverage. I also did not get oily when wearing it through out the day.
