BRIGHT HAIR BANDS

I realize I am a little late on the uptake making these cloth, allegedly crease-free hair ties, but regardless I have been wanting to make them for a while now, so I am excited I finally did. I looked at every possible store that might have the elastic needed to create them but had no luck so I had to resort to ordering it online. Of course, I should have done this from the get go because it was really affordable and came within two days of ordering! I ordered form Elastic by the Yard and chose to buy 1 yard each of 10 different types of fold over elastic. The hardest part of the project was picking which colors to buy! My choices were all over the place but I wanted to have a fun variety!

To make one hair tie you will need 8.25 inches of elastic. From there all you have to do is tie a knot close to the end and pull tight. To keep the bands from fraying, burn the ends with a lighter.

Because I love to wear headbands I also decided to make a few of those. Use the same process as before only this time you will need 22.5 inches of elastic.

Had a little extra fabric so I made a couple of bunches to add to gifts for friends!

MACY'S COSMETICS AND PERFUME EVENT

As promised, here is the post about the makeup event I attended with my boyfriend's mom. We began the night at the Bobbi Brown table where we got our makeup done and tested some of the products that we always hear about on the MMandL Show!! Then we wandered around to the other counters and Lisa ended up buying me this cute pack of lip glosses from MAC!

I have never been a makeup person {especially a lip gloss or lip stick person} but I am a new fan! These colors are actually much lighter than they appear to be are a the perfect subtle lip color.

In the previous post I mentioned that I was hoping to find a red lipstick, and I found many at this event but there were all way to intense for me...think I'll easy my way into those colors! In the mean time, I can't wait to wear this new holiday collection from MAC!
