♡ Makeup Look: Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions ♡

♡ Makeup Look: Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions ♡

Good morning!

You might have seen my Instagram posts about the Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions eye shadow palette already but I’ve been obsessed with it since the day I received it. I’ve been loving orange, red and yellow eye makeup looks lately. I even gravitate towards those colors  when shopping online – and it’s not limited to makeup.

I only recently started trying out products from Huda Beauty.…

Bridesmaid Proposals seem to be a big deal, so I made some for my four bridesmaids and they turned out pretty good. The theme was mainly pink and gold although I included other colors from our wedding color scheme as well. The hair ties had a pop of burgundy, and the ribbon around the mini champagne were navy blue.

(When I told my future mother-in-law about bridesmaid boxes she had no idea what the heck I was talking about lol)

I found the boxes at Michael’s, the sparkly gold letters, and the scrapbook paper that I used to cover the inside of the lid. (One box is missing because I saw one of my bridesmaids earlier than expected so I gave it to her earlier than expected.)

The mess I made as I assembled them all. Pretty much everything is from Michael’s except the cute ‘I do crew’ glasses, and the mini clip boards I found at Wal-mart. I added navy blue, burgundy and red hair ties, and tied them together using some gold washi tape, then clipped them to the mini clipboards.

I used a chalk pen to write on the clip boards themselves, “To have and to hold you hair back“.

The cards I happened to find at Winner’s! Unfortunately I couldn’t find four that were all the same so I ended up with a few different designs. But I thought it made it more personal for my bridesmaids as I chose ones i thought they would like the most, and ones I thought fit their personalities.

(I found the idea for these neat little inspiration cards on Pinterest so I take no credit.)

On the inside of the lid I put some pictures of me and each of the girls as well as inspiration cards. All pertaining to the theme and vision I have for my wedding and their day of looks.

One was for the overall theme of the wedding which listed the main and accent colors. The other was a little inspiration card for their bridesmaid dresses, accessories, and whatnot.

I’ve decided on doing mismatched dresses, but keeping them similar-ish in color. I feel it makes it feel a bit more casual, plus the girls get to pick a dress they love and suits them the best. Plus I think the mismatch has a more magical & whimsical feel.

  Thanks for reading! xox

Nanowrimo Experience

This November I participated in Nanowrimo for the first time ever.

For those of you that don’t know or have never heard of Nanowrimo it stands for National Novel Writing Month. And every November people strive to reach the objective of writing 50 000 words by the end of the month. It’s a daunting task to say the least.

Unfortunately I failed, and I failed hard.

I thought I’d share my project, my…
