Freshlook Colorblends brilliant blue on dark green eyes

Hey there pretties! I have a review on  Freshlook Colorblends brilliant blue to share with ya. While researching these before i bought them i found that there's a shortage of reviews on people with dark green eyes. Plenty of light green with amber hues, plenty of blues and browns but very few dark green to hazel. If you too have dark green or hazel eyes you can expect similar results.
The colorblends line is made of three  patterns. The innermost being a yellow starburst pattern followed by a primary color and the outermost layer. They are made out of 45% phemilicon and 55% water with a uv filter. The diameter is 14.5. These are the same freshlook lenses you would get at the optometrist. Mine are only cosmetic. They can be purchased with your prescription in them or without for only cosmetic purposes. Toric or cosmetic. These are actually comfortable and I don't think Ive ever said that before about a contact. Im usually removing them 45 mins after  putting them in. This particular color showed to be a really vibrate vivid blue on all of the swatches and reviews that i studied before buying it. However, It is not at all bright and vibrate on dark green eyes. There is a couple of things that i wasn't thrilled about with these. With the three in one color design the starburst pattern migrates and ends up covering a little bit of my pupil up resulting in a halo in my vision. Its worse in dim lighting or at night when the pupil is considerably larger. You only get 14 days of wear out of these. If you're looking to subtly change your eye color these might be for you. They allow a good bit of your natural eye color to show through

Three tiered dollar tree vanity tray

Today Ive got a little craft project to share with ya! Ive been in desperate need to find some way to store my makeup. You know something pretty and girly! Not ugly baskets and mismatched containers. Which is right now my current storage situation. So i saw one of these vanity trays on pinterest awhile back and had to give it a try. With my spin on it of course! What a great idea instead of just having stuff laying everywhere it can be housed on a tray. Unorganized organization! The one I saw on pinterest was made out of mirrors with beveled edges with jewels and beads hanging down. I could not find any beveled mirrors so I decided to just paint the wooden mirrored frames that i got at the dollar tree a metallic silver. I love Rustoleums mirror metallics. I use this particular silver color on alot of my craft projects. I first painted my candlestick holders which will be stand for the tray. My original idea was just to use the glass out of the frames but the edges were too sharp. I removed the cardboard backing and used my hot glue gun to glue the mirror to the frame.......set aside let dry while working on the other two. I let mine dry and cure atleast 24 to 48 hours. Then I lined the candlesticks up to the middle of my frame and glued them into place. I then glued the top frame to the candlestick and whaaala done. This would have looked good with some really intricate nice wooden frames, breakfast tray or even the silver dollar tree trays. You could use one frame and attach some wooden feet and have a one level really cute perfume tray! Well enough rambling. Heres my pics.



 All the supplies you will need can be purchased for a dollar each from your local dollar tree store (except the metallic finish spray paint )
