Three Things: Custom Palettes, Luffas and JewelMint

I depotted some of my eyeshadows earlier this week and cracked a good few. I squished them, both rectangular and round, into an old Physicians Formula palette and ta-da: my own custom travel palette consisting of Nvey eyeshadows (which I reviewed here) and Physicians Formula matte eyeshadows. I just got sick of "netural" palettes being either too plain or way too glittery.

I have been in love with my loofah/luffa sponge as of late. If you didn't know, luffas are made from from the luffa plant. If you're up to it, Wandering Chopsticks demonstrates how to make a good luffa sponge.

This natural Loofah sponge is grown and sold by the Luffa Farm. How cute is that?

When I received my Setting Sun necklace, I was afraid. Afraid it would be too big, too gaudy, too costume-y, too much. When I realized how well it paired with a plain sweater, it became a personal favorite. Now I've broken it and lost the piece it came with too. It's amazing how losing one little piece of the necklace ruins it completely.

    1. Sure, I'll add more pictures soon. When I call it a palette, I am being generous. It is more of a plastic box holding eyeshadows that don't fit quite. :D

  4. I need a Z-Palette or a UNII palette so I can depot many of my shadows. Another project for the future :)

  5. The loofah has many uses. It could be used for skin as well as doing the dishes.

  6. I have lost beads or pieces from jewelry and unless it is TOTALLY obvious, I keep wearing it. I don't think most people pay any attention to the details anyway.
