$3 Personalized Gift Jars

 Looking for a quick, but stylish gift! Look no further! You can fill your jars with anything you'd like, but I filled mine with strawberry candies. You'll need a small jar and some letter stickers too. I found both of these things in the One Spot at Target.

First, apply the letters to the lid of the jar. It can be a quote or just their name.

Fill your jar's with whatever you'd like and its all done!

5 Minute Makeup for Busy Mornings

Everyone has mornings where they sleep in too late or just don't want to put the effort it takes to do a full face of makeup! That's almost every morning for me. Here is an easy, quick, and inexpensive look for every girl. 

You'll need any mascara, under eye concealer, face powder, a brow filler, clear brow gel, and a colored lip balm. 

An expensive mascara I like is e.l.f's lengthening and defining mascara! It's only $1! Apply this to your lashes to define your eyes. 

Next apply concealer under your eyes and blend it in with your finger or a concealer brush. I love e.l.f's Tone Correcting Concealer. It smells like fruit loops and it's only $1. 

Set your concealer with a powder then apply to your T-zone. I use Rimmel's Stay Matte. This product stays on all day and is only about $5 at drug stores. 

Next fill in your brows, this step is optional but if it's apart of your everyday routine don't skip it. I use e.l.f's Eyebrow Kit which is $3 at Target or online.

Set your brows with a clear mascara or brow gel. This will keep your color from smearing or your brows from moving throughout the day. I use e.l.f.'s Wet Gloss lash & brow gel which is $1. 

Finish the look off with a colored lip balm! I love Revlon's Colorblast Balm Stain.

And your look is complete! 

My 5 Favorite Lippies for Spring!

All of this warm weather in Colorado has been making me excited for spring! One of the best things about spring is the beautiful floral tones that are in season. Here are my 5 favorite lip products for spring! 

From left to right: Sephora's Rouge Shine Lipstick in Soulmate No. 46, Revlon's Colorburst Balm Stain in Smitten 030,
Covergirl's LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Rose Twist 225, Maybelline's Lipstick in Luminous Lilac 715,
and NYX butter gloss in Créme Brulee.

First up is Sephora's Rough Shine Lipstick in Soulmate No. 46. In the tube it looks a little intimidating and dark, but don't worry its not at all! It goes on fairly sheer in a nice berry color like in the swatch above, This is perfect for spring because it is super shiny and a great lip to pair with a natural eye look. You can find this product online here.

Next is Revlon's ColorBurst Balm Stain in Smitten. This product has a nice minty scent and leaves just a touch of color on the lips. Just like the previous product it can either be worn sheer or built up to be more opaque. You can find this product on the Revlon website here.

 This lovely rose color is Covergirl's LipPerfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in Rose Twist 225. This pretty shade will compliment any skin tone and is the perfect floral shade for you spring dresses and wedges. You can find this product here.

 Next is this very nice peachy nude color from Maybelline. This product seems to have been discontinued or revamped because I could not find this one on their site.  I like to put this over the Covergirl Gloss or wear it by itself.

The last lippy I love for spring is NYX's butter gloss in Créme Brulee. Again, you can put this over any lipstick or wear it alone for a nude shine. You can find this gloss here.

The "Just in Case" Bag

After spending way to much time on Pinterest I found a DIY for a "just in case" bag to put in your purse! It is super cute and easy to do and you can find the original post here.

In this photo you can see the bag I put all of my essentials in. I purchased it at Target in the One Spot which is their $1-$5 line of products. 

These are my essentials. The first one is tissues! I feel like I always spill something on myself or have a runny nose when there is no access to tissues so these are a must. Next, a tampon or pad, which every your preference is. Finally a nail file. I am constantly breaking my nails at work or while driving or just doing everyday activities so a file is very important. 

The after meal refresher are a must. Whether you had coffee for breakfast or garlic pasta for dinner, you'll always have fresh breath. 

The beauty related items are next. Hand cream or any type of travel size lotion will do. I have had this one from Avon forever so I decided to throw it in. I like to carry Baby Lips with me because it hydrates my lips and it leaves a little color and shine. Finally I carry a sample size of the Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant mascara that I got as a birthday gift from Sephora. 

The last group is hair items and Q- Tips! I feel like all of these are very self explanatory! I put all of these into an old medicene container that I decorated with scrapbooking paper and a flower decal. My orginal inspiration for the medication contain can be found  here.
