DIY lip palette tutorial

hi sweets!

 I was reorganizing my makeup and I found a few of my lippies with broken bullets and melted shapes. I found an old eye palette in my stash with beautiful shades but weird smell, palette was expired and it can cause eye allergy if you use an expired eye shade. Here an idea clicked my mind and I separated the palette and lipsticks from the other stash.

friday night I got some time and I decided to create my lip palette. I captured the whole process to post the DIY lip palette making idea on my blog.here I am using my broken or almost empty lipsticks but you can use many lipsticks of your choice and set them into a palette it will save space and you can carry your favorite shades with you in your bag every where you want and need. This idea is great for those little bits of your favorite lippies. I am using my old eye palette for the process you can use new empty palette or empty metal containers.



you will need:

  • empty palette
  • spatula or knife
  • candle 
  • a metal spoon 
  • and few lipsticks (broken bullets or you can use any of your chioce)
note: sanitize your spatula and knife before use and do not over heat lipsticks. 

lets see what i did

 separated my broken and almost finished lipsticks and expired eye palette.

emptied the palette and washed it with Luke warm water and dettol. dried the palette with a tissue paper and putted it upside down on a news paper to make sure its completely dry and ready to use.

lit the candle, cutt off the lipstick and put it in spoon, hold over flame to melt the lipstick. pour it in empty pan. do not over heat or overfill.
  • here i am melting my elf lippie in classy, after pouring it in pan there was still some liquid left in spoon so i added my eye pigment in the liquid and created my version of classy lipstick with a beautiful coral shimmer in it.
mix and match as many shades as you want if you have some extra after filling origional one in pan. i made 6 new shades with mixing different lipsticks and adding pigment in lipsticks.

This is the final result, labelled the shades and this palette is my happy travel version of my favorite shades.

MUA intense colour eye-liner pencils Review and swatches


hi lovely ladies
well today I have to share about MUA intense eye pencils, I have 4 intense colour eye-liner pencils and 2 intense glitter eye-liner pencils,


(left to right intense eye-liner pencils in snow white, rich brown, turquoise,lovely lilac (not in pictures)and forest green, intense glitter eye-liner pencils in starry night, and jade jewel)


lets see how I found them...
When it comes to eye pencils we check how soft the texture is, and the texture of these pencils is super soft it glides on lids like dream.. pencil comes with a sharpener cap so you have not to put extra sharpener with you when you are going out, sharpener is of good quality and sharps well..










Pencil is not smudge proof so that staying power is an issue, but without rubbing your eye you can easily go with the liner throughout the day, I have oily lids and it stays on my lids for fairly 4-5 hours if i keep my hands away from eyes..glitter liners are packed with good amount of glitter in them and looks great on eyes, jade jewel is my fav in glitter ones..
liners are pretty pigmented and hard to remove with soap and water, you have to clean them with a good eye make-up remover specially dark shades are really hard to remove.. these pencils are fairly priced and you can easily get them via http://www.muastore.co.uk and the girls in Pakistan can easily get them @ http://www.just4girls.pk/ which is a trusted on-line shopping site in Pakistan I got mine from the same store
so for me these pencils really affordable and fun to use and I am planning to have some more shades of glitter ones.. smudging is the only issue I have with them which I can easily control my self..

which is your fav MUA pencil if you are already using them???
