My destiny credit card1/23/2024 ![]() It prevents my eye shadow from creasing and evens my skin tone to make eye shadow colors pop. I actually use this cream shadow as an eye shadow base. Great for anyone that wants to avoid Permanent hair dye.īare Minerals 5 in 1 Cream Shadow – Soft Linen $18 Indoors my hair looks dark brown, but outside it has a beautiful glint of red/purple. Plus, I can usually get quite a few uses out of that little bottle.I switch between Wine Brown (burgundy tones) and Amethyst (more purple tones). No grow out, no odd roots…it just naturally fades over time. You can buy a bottle at most beauty supply stores for about $6 and it’s Semi-Permanent which means it fades gently over the course of about 28 washings. My favorite hair dye, hands down, is Clairol Beautiful Browns. But I still like to dye my hair on occasion, to boost my already dark brown hair with a pop of color. The brassiness, the orange, I don’t want to go through that again. When I was in college I used to box dye my hair Burgundy, I loved it and miss it…but growing it out was awful. The smell is classic Caudalie and a bit earthy but it fades rather quickly in case that bothers you.Ĭlairol Beautiful Brown – Amethyst (purchased from Sally Beauty Supply) ~$6.00 I can apply, and immediately get back to work because it soaks in within seconds. ![]() The Caudalie hand cream has become my go to cream for when I’m working at my computer (which is always).

Bonus, clean up was a breeze and the whole project was done in less than 20 minutes. It’s still pretty in it’s own way and now I have two lovely personalized booklets to write in. I had such good luck with the fist booklet that I didn’t test out the purple paint…but you live and learn. The aqua and silver worked just fine so I would recommend testing the paints you choose on a piece of paper before you stamp your final product. That was partly due to the eraser and partly due to the type of paint. You can see the difference in how poorly the purple stamped. I didn’t like this finished booklet as much since the Clik Eraser didn’t stamp the paint as cleanly as the Pencil Eraser. I used Aqua, Dark Purple, and Silver for this one. While the metallic booklet was drying, I tried using the Pentel Clik eraser to dot the other booklet. Since you are using such a small amount of paint, the booklet dries very quickly. I gave the copper dots a minute or so to dry, then I used the same pencil eraser to dot on some gold paint. It’s not necessary to do this step, it was just my personal preference. I found it helpful to keep a small paintbrush on hand to gently tap down any paint that peaked as you can see on some of the dots above. I used the pencil eraser to dot copper dots on first. I decided to do the first notebook with metallic dots. – Paper Towels and a little water for clean up, and small paint brush is helpful for any paint touch-ups you may find necessary.

I used Moleskine Pocket Cahier booklets which come in a set of three. The project was fast, easy and since you can wipe the erasers clean…there was very little mess. The basic concept is to use a pencil eraser as your paint brush. I’m in a crafty mood lately, so yesterday I decided to try my hand at the ‘Pinterest-popular’ eraser dot/stamping technique.
