Cheap and Easy D.I.Y. Wall Art.

Looking for another cheap way to dress up you walls? A while back ago, I shared this idea. This time we are using cute gift bags from the Dollar Tree!

All you need is a fun gift bag & a frame. I bought a 5 pack of certificate frames at Walmart.

Cut the front side of the bag to fit the cardboard that fits into the frame.

Fold over the sides and secure with packing tape.

Put the cardboard into the frame & then put the back of the frame on & tada! New art for you walls. This idea can work in any room. Change them out for the holidays. Perfect idea for kids or teens that like to change their room a lot. You can also use old t-shirts & follow the same instructions. If you need any help, please feel free to ask!

Kmart Cosmetics Sale Going On Now!

Now, I can't confirm if this sale is going on at all Kmarts, but my nearest one in Bristol TN has a pretty nice sale in the cosmetics sections! I'm trying to cut down, so I did limit to just a few items I have been wanting to try. Here is a photo of what I bought.

Nicole by O.P.I. Gumdrops in My Cherry Amour- $2.99

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Bronze Shimmer- $1.44

NYC Eyeliner Pencil in Vampy Violet- 99 Cents

NYC City Duet 2 in 1 Lip Color in The Metropolitan Mauves- $1.49

Rimmel London Kate Lipstick in Rossetto- $2.64

Revlon Single Shadow in Seafoam- $1.50

They had a lot of other brands on sale too. More Revlon items including foundations & primers & other eye shadows. More of the Nicole by O.P.I were on sale including the Carrie Underwood collection. NYC had some other items on sale too. I believe some Almay & some other Rimmel was also on sale. This may depend on the store. Normally when I hear about sales in the makeup section at Kmart, it never hits my local one, so this was a surprise. 

I also spotted some nice sales at Walgreens & I have heard that CVS will be starting their sales soon(some sale items have already been spotted. If you find anything good at any of these stores, please let me know! I'd love to know what you bought!

Wet n Wild Fergie On Edge Eyeliner vs M.A.C. Eye Kohl

Wet n Wild Fergie On Edge Eyeliner vs M.A.C. Eye Kohl.

(Left: W&W Midnight Girl Right: M.A.C. Smolder)

I've tried many eyeliners, but never found one that stayed all day until I found M.A.C. Eye Kohl in Smolder. It was love at first try! I knew I was going to have to replace it sooner or later because I can't sharpen it all the way down due to it getting chewed on my a dog & it being held by tape. I've bought I don't know how many different eyeliners in hopes that it will be a Smolder dupe. I found a coupon for $1 off of the new Wet n Wild Fergie line & figured I'd try that eyeliner since it looked creamy.

I think I found a pretty good dupe! The above photo shows how they look on. The W&W went on a little smoother then the M.A.C. did. They both went on dark, just how I like it to. I've used both on my waterline & on the inner rim of my eyelid. I would definitely recommend the Wet & Wild Ferige if you are looking for a cheaper alternative M.A.C.  I've heard that some people are comparing the Wet n Wild Fergie eyeliners to Urban Decay eyeliners, but I do not own any Urban Decay eyeliners, so I can't say. From the photos I've seen of Urban Decay, they do look similar. Hope you enjoyed this little review!
