Wooden Doll Nativity

I fell in love with this Spool Doll Nativity from {Holes in my Shiny Veneer}.  Here's {part 2} of her adorable nativity, in case you're interested.  So, I set out to make my own. 

Within a week, I came across this wooden nativity backdrop at Target for only $2.50!  I was seriously so excited!  Then, I went to get some wooden spools and doll heads at the craft store and while I was looking I saw these little unfinished wooden doll bodies:

They already have a head and I love skipping steps, so I bought them.  They have two different sizes, too.  Perfect for a nativity, since you need a smaller one for baby Jesus.

Anyway, I spent an hour one day cutting scraps of fabric and ribbon and hot gluing them onto these dolls.  The link mentioned above has a great tutorial which I looked at just to get ideas and see how she did things.  For me, it was as easy as cutting strips of fabric and wrapping them around the doll bodies, and in some cases their heads.  Then, putting on embellishments to create different characters.

I'm absolutely in love with the way they turned out!!  And my son was very excited with each new addition I put out for him to put in his "house".

I might eventually paint faces on them, but I'm kinda worried I'll totally mess them up, and I kind of like them faceless... 

It's a perfect little durable nativity that my little guy can play with to his hearts content without me worrying about him breaking something.  And even if he did, the whole thing cost under $8.00, so it wouldn't be a big deal.  I think this is a really cute and easy way to help my 3 year old understand the real meaning of Christmas.  We love playing "Baby Jesus" with them, and I hope we will continue to play with them year after year.

Risqué Penélope Charmosa Kit in "Momento Penélope" Review

SPRING	SUNNY
20ºC~26ºC	OMG today is so hot ¬¬

Hello girls!
Today I'm going to review this sweet make up kit from Risqué! I love this Penélope Charmosa (Penelope Pitstop) collection since the release of cute nail polishes. I just had to buy the make up for trying.


Picture when I just bought


It comes with 1 lipstick, 1 nail polish, 1 lips highlighter and make up bag! The package is really cute and surely nice option for gifts.


Let's talk about the lipstick first!


Swatch

I already tried a lot of lipsticks and glosses brands and I can tell you for sure this is the best product for lips I ever tried.
This is very very moisturizing, you can feel your lips being treat, but this isnt gummy at all.
The pigmentation is very nice , I don't need more than one layer because it sticks perfectly to lips.
It's a pity there's only 4 colors available and I'm interested only in 2 colors which is "Momento Penélope", a light pink, and "Charminho Nude" (I never tried yet), a coral nude.
The smell is low and so nice, so you'll never get sick of this. It also lasts enough for a moisturizing lipstick, if you don't eat, drink or kiss boyfriend it will last for hours.
The texture is perfect. Not gummy, not dry. Is kinda creamy.
The price is nice too. With this kit, around R$30 (about 15USD), and individual the price is around R$20 (about 10USD).


On lips

Moisturizing: 5/5
Pigmentation: 5/5
Smell: 5/5
Endurance: 5/5
Color variation: 1/5
Texture: 5/5
Price: 5/5

Thats my favorite lipstick ever, I hope this collection is never over.


Now highlighter

The instructions is for adding this above lipstick. It doesn't work at all, it feels really uncomfortable and isn't beautiful. But if you ignore instructions ans use it anywhere else - cheeks, eyes, body, anything - it's so nice! I love to add some at eyes inner or external corner. I already tried as eyeshadow and it was so cute too. It's very shine and has cute delicated glitter. Other day, my boyfriend opened the package and some fell at his backpack... until now it shines a lot hahahaha Hope he learned I won't give any rating because I don't belive glitters have a "bad point". This is my second favorite glitter, the first is white/silver from Contem1g, but only because of color and how it looks on me.


Wearing nail polish (the darker pink)

About the nail polish, as any color of Risqué, this is also so nice. The application is really easy and you can keep same nail style 'til 2 weeks without peeling off. My favorite brand for nail polishes ever. Some new collections is released for summer so I bought 4 new nail polishes this weekend


Colorama is more nice for nail treatment and Risqué for nail polish color and endurance


I always use this make up bag, it's very useful because it's transparent so I can see what I'm carrying with me or where is a product I wanna catch

Thats all today!

Thank you for reading

Hello girls! Another make up package arrived so I wanna show you!
I had another very hurry hurry weekend so I couldn't take any pic of my outfits. Maybe next is just the same but then I'll start taking pics again! Also I have good news, I already prepared a lot of reviews posts. I'll start writing tomorrow!


Dolly Wink lashes no. 1, Diamond lashes glamurous, Melliesh gloss #2 and restocking #3

I bought them at DAZZSHOP, they were so cheap! For international shipping I used Tenso services, they never disappoint me. It's expensive but ships really fast! I received suuuper fast. Paid 1000 Yen in each item but Diamond lashes that is kinda cheap, 880Yen!!!



I'm in love with these Dolly Wink... so lovely! I don't like the new Dolly Wink eyelashes... They are so simple.. Cant wait to try my new lashes!!!



I cant wait to try these too! I can't belive how cheap it is!


My watermelon is so happy now!


I thought the #2 was more lilac but it's very rosy... I love this lipgloss, I'll never change to Candy Doll or anything.. Soon review!!


Me wearing Melliesh #2!
I did a very natural look because I had nothing special to do, but still had to go out...


I like natural styles. I think depends on my mood what kind of make up I wanna do

Latest nail style...


I didn't like the white polish I used so I took it off and tried something suggested by newest Popteen and Popsister magazines, but my thumb is still hurt and I had a lot of problems for making right hand decoration!
I like the star decoration theme, I'll try it more

But now I really wanna sleep!
Tomorrow I'll write a review, don't miss it!
bai baiii
