Haul - Earrings

I've acquired some new earrings in the past month.



This was my first order with peruvianearring.com
These are #511 (Cat's Eye Chips on Sterling Silver Wire).
Specs: 9.50 with chips of Cat's eyes , 1.5 inches of length.

They were only $2 per pair.
I would like to order the other colors in stock.

These are hand crafted earrings from

$5.00 LIONESS



$8.00 NEW BREED



For our shopping convenience, she accepts PayPal and Money Orders.
The earrings were much larger than I anticipated.
She will make them smaller if you request it.
I would like to order a couple pairs of her beaded hoops.

KleanColor Hawaiian Rainbow Spendor Palettes With Swatches

Although I am kind of on a "No Buy",
I decided to pick up these palettes a couple of weeks ago.
They were 2 for $5 at my local beauty supply store.

I found the texture a little bit chalky.
I found them to be extremely vibrant.
I use a mixing medium when applying them.

There are 12 Colors in each palette.
One palette is BRIGHT, the other is a little more neutral.





Repairing Damaged Eyeshadow

Shattered Eyeshadow



I was crushed when I accidentally dropped my Jesse's Girl MOONBEAM baked eyeshadow.
They are FRAGILE!
For the longest time, I was reluctant to repair it because I did not want to lose the cool marble effect.
The cracked shadow was messy.

I used my Coastal Scents EZ Press. I like it, but I hate the bottle top.
It's a click button dispenser like a shampoo bottle.
I would have preferred an eyedropper for more accurate formulation when pressing pigments etc.

Undamaged and New Eyeshadows





I used

Alcohol (to sterilize the stainless Steel Spatula and 5gram jar)
Coastal Scents EZ Press
A Sheet of Plastic
An Empty Vitamin Bottle Mouth To Attempt To Form A Dome Shape
Patience

Scraped Shattered Eyeshadow from Pan with Stainless Steel Spatula



Used Stainless Steel Spatula To Further Crush the Shattered Eyeshadow ...Goodbye Pretty Marble *sad face*



Added Enough EZ Press Until the Loose Shadow Gathered Into a Paste On the Side Of the Container






Stainless Steel Spatula Used to Form the Dome Shape





Clean Plastic and Vitamin Bottle Top Used to Shape The Shadow Further
