Applying Eyeshadow, Tips For Beginners

Applying eyeshadow tutorial for beginners can be a bit difficult.

1. Get an eyeshadow brush. If you're trying something bold, like black or bright eyeshadows, too much color at once will make you look like Bozo the Clown.

2. Go to the Dollar Store. If you find a bright green eyeshadow that you're dying to try, then look at it. Do you really like the color? If it's more expensive, see if you can find a similar color for a lot cheaper.

3. Watch makeup tutorials. Don't just watch the regular, everyday makeup. Look at the bold tutorials as well.

Make Minion Costume

I can rock a hot glue like no tomorrow, but a sewing machine kind of scare's me!  Then the amazing Stacy from Stacy Uncorked came over at 7p to help me sew pants.  NOW my job was to measure said pants!  I fixed the pants and even sewed on the straps for the overalls!

I first saw this awesome idea for Homemade minion costume on The Home Place.

2 Rolls of 1 inch foam (I used 2 rolls for 2 minions)
Bright yellow spray paint
Bright purple spray paint (Cole wanted to be the evil minion ... go figure)
1 packages of black pipe cleaners (cut half)
1 Purple Feather Boa
2 Pkgs Velcro (self adhesive - but still hot glued it down)
Hot glue gun
1 bag Hot glue sticks (I used close to 40 or 50 of the small sticks)
1 Round cardboard container (Oatmeal Carton - Worked perfect)
2 Sheets black felt
Scissors
Sewing Machine
3 yards Blue Fleece
1/2 yard Yellow Fleece
1/2 Yard Purple Fleece

1/2 Yard Black Fleece

Wrap Foam around each child to see how much you will need.  MINE was a little hard, thanks to Rick and a can of spray glue.

I ended up hot gluing the Velcro to the foam to make sure it stayed in place (the self adhesive didn't hold very well).  I used my circle cookie cutters to cut the arm holes out.

lol.  I then hot glued the black circle down and then the G in the center.  I hot glued the sleeves into the arm holes.

For the Yellow Minion I took Black pipe cleaners I cut in half then hot glued them to the top, sticking straight up.  For the Purple Minion I took a purple feather boa I found at the dollar store and hot glued it down.  To finish up I cut a long strip of black fleece to line the inside of the eye.  I cut a longer strip of black fleece to fit around the foam head to be strap of the eye hole.

The Venus Factor Review

A workout program that goes beyond fitness and health. A really intense exercise and dieting program that doesn't bulk you up and retains your feminine features.

Strictly for women but there's an equal program designed for men which is created by the same author - The Adonis Golden Ratio.

If you are looking for a silver bullet weight loss solution, "designer" workout program, or body jam-type class sessions, you're looking at the wrong product.

The Venus factor is a special workout program for women. The program's goal is to give you that attractive and sexy feminine look. This product is designed and developed by a pair of leaders in the field of fitness and dieting. As for the workout itself, The Venus Factor is a 12-week workout program separated into 3 parts. There's also an exercise gallery e-book which provides detailed instructions about each workout mentioned in the program and each exercise has images and a link to a video.

Along with the core program, there's the main Venus Factor Workout manual which explains the Venus Index concept. This manual explains how to find your current Venus Index and what fitness target you need to reach to raise your Venus Index. Additionally, you'll also get a dieting manual entitled "Guide to Body Centric Eating." If you are used to lifting light weights, you'll feel right at home. Even if you don't follow the workout or dieting program, the information about the Venus Index and achieving the perfect female body proportions can help you set correct fitness goals.
