I know at one time or another we've all dropped our favoriteblush, bronzer or eyeshadow and watched it break into a bunch of little pieces. At this point i'm probably so upset that i'm thinking irrationaly and throwing the compact in the trash. Well I just found out that you can actually fix your shattered make up! It's a fairly simple and easy process. All you need is:
rubbing alcohol (70% or higher)
a spoon or knife
ziploc bag
a quarter
a piece of cloth or kleenex.
Below is a video with a step by step tutorial posted by Kandee Johnson. Not only is she super sweet and cute but she's really great at explaining or as I like to call it, dumbing down, the process.
If you loved Kandee's video be sure to check out her other great tips here as well as her adorable blog.
I plan on trying this out asap! Do you have any great beauty tips that you'd like to share with us?

The only thing more amazing than the electrifying music and the massive amount of celebrities flocking to Coachella, was the fashion. This festival has quickly received attention from bloggers and fashion elite alike the last couple of years. This year it was all about 70s cool, evening wear for day time and bright bold pieces. Below are some of my favorite looks along with pieces corresponding to the trend. It was really hard to narrow down but I think these looks are a great inspiration for what to look out for this summer, especially if your planning on attending any festivals!
When probing the web for random photos and quotes, I tend to find inspiration within each and every one. After coming across these amazing shoes (see above), as well as viewing multiple cheetah themed nails, I decided to do my own version. With a little time and lots of patience, these nails can be easily done.
french tip: revlon - gum drop (scented)
cheetah print: opi - just a little dangerous
separation line: sally hansen - pure chrome
top coat: rimmel london - clear
Things you need:
nails polish for french tip
nail polish for cheetah print
tooth picks, a very thin paint brush or if you want to spend a couple more $$ and save the frustration try nail art pens
a steady hand
LOTS of patience
If you ever have free time on your hands (no pun intended), nail art is something worth trying out. You can experiment with an endless amount of patterns and different shades of colors. It's something you can definitely enjoy with friends (and it would probably be easier with an extra pair of hands!) If you ever need any inspiration I suggest you check out fuckyeahprettynails and fuckyeahnailart.
Are you crazy for cheetah? Are you a fan of nail art? Let us know :)
Ever since I heard Jakwob's remix of under the sheets by Ellie Goulding, I got sucked into the world of dubstep. It might not be everyone's cup of tea, but with the variety of sub genres (chillstep, drumstep, thugstep etc), there really is something for everyone. With that being said, I plan on sporadically posting my top picks and updating you with what's hot on the dubstep scene. I hope to get more people introduced to this genre and fall in love with it as quickly as I did!
Every die hard dubstep lover has this song. So before you start looking for songs it's a MUST to take a listen to this. Bass Cannon really gives you a feel for dubstep and what it's all about.
If you want to know what's hot on the dubstep scene, I suggest you look for anything done by Skrillex, Rusko, Skream, Nero or Bassnectar, just to name a few. Below are a couple of my favorite songs from some of these artists.
Bags. A girls best friend, right next to shoes. There's something mesmerizing about bags. There are so many types: shoulder, hobo, totes, clutches. They come in a variety shapes, colors and sizes. They're perfect for the day to carry all your essentialsto school and work, or to carry your basics for a night on the town. Personally I think purses can be over looked and deserve to be the star of the show. That being said, I decided to do a post on celebrity outfits with their clutches being the main focal point.
This look was totally unexpected from LC, but I'm in LOVE! Although this look is primarily all black, it's multidimensional. Taking a flowy blouse and pairing it with faux leather leggings is rock n roll chic. Adding a pop of color with a turquoise clutch is genius!
This hip hugging safari green dress is sexy all on its own, but when paired with some uber hot booties and leopard clutch, this look is down right wild!
If someone told me they put blue, yellow and purple together in an outfit I would probably think they are joking. This fun and colorful combination is totally unexpected, but it works!
What is your relationship with purses? Do you love these colorful clutches or could you do without?
You know Easter is right around the corner when the shelves at your local grocery store are stocked with the neon colored marshmallow chickens, better known as peeps. Seeing that Easter is about two and a half weeks away, I thought this would be a fun post to share with you! Grace Kang from Serious Eats came up with the ingenious idea of taking an American classic, the s'more, and kicked it up a notch by replacing the generic white marshmallow with this eye catching Easter candy. When put together you get a tasty colorful treat, better known as the s'meep!
Recipe
*makes 4 s'meeps
Ingredients
4 Peeps (1 package)
4 graham crackers, separated into 8 halves
Four 1-ounce squares semisweet or dark chocolate (depending on preference)
Procedure
1. Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350°F.
2. Place a 1-ounce square of chocolate on 4 of the graham cracker halves. Top each chocolate with a Peep. Say your goodbyes.
3. Put your Peep sacrifice laden graham crackers on an aluminum foil covered tray and pop them in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. Watch them carefully as toasting Peeps can turn into burn victims beyond repair in the blink of an eye. Vigilance!
4. Once the Peeps are toasted to your liking, take them out of the oven and squish them with a graham cracker half. Feast.
How do you like to enjoy your peeps? Would you test out this recipe for yourself? Let us know!
I've been saying that I want to start a blog for the last couple years already, but I finally decided to take a leap of faith and find some time (between classes) to get one going! I'm a girl with many passions; primarily food, fashion && music. I'm currently majoring in food science but my work experience lies in retail. I currently work at the LOFT, which is great for me since I'm so petite (4'10)! I have a passion for drawing && baking. I'm a perpetual shopper but I don't like to spend a lot (tj maxx && marshalls are my secret weapon!) I don't think I have a "style" but im not afraid to make a statement.
If you have any questions on any fashion/food/music (or need any advice, im known as the love dr ;-)) feel free to email me at sprinkles1128@yahoo.com
