Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind - Eraser - Eye Concealer - Light

This is a favourite concealer of Loey Lane (a sweet girl on Youtube who I have nothing but love for).

It has a puffy applicator that the concealer feeds through, which is nice and soft on the gentle skin of the eye.

It looks like a dandelion!

It looks dark on the applicator, but it is my perfect light shade on! <3

Invisible and perfect!

The applicator prevents putting down too much product.
I love this!

Thank you Loey for sharing your find!

Garnier - BB Cream - Miracle Skin Perfector - Light

This is definitely too dark for me! 'Light' my butt!

Can't they have a 'my butt' shade that is just paler than anything?

However, let's try it as a contour! 

***
Ok, it's too light as a contour (applied by beauty blender).

This is just the wrong shade.

Art break - Fairy House

Brace yourself, this is a big one!

I had the idea a little while a go (while doped up on Endone for the nerve pain) that I should make a little house for the fairies to live it.
It should be waterproof, have a solar light, windows with 'glass', and a functional door.

Then as I was browsing an art shop (then on codeine)  I spied this:

It was a sign!

So I quickly decided on a colour scheme. Cream (antique white) for the outer walls and inner roof, wisteria for the inner walls, and violet for the outer roof/ window sills/ accessories.

The first step was to paint it, which required up to 3 coats on some pieces and could only be done one side at a time (for obvious reasons).

Recycling the magazines!

I asked Parental unit 2 to pick up a solar garden light for me and this is the dissected component.

To fit a solar light to the roof, I needed a hole. I cut this out using a scalpel because I'm a derp who has never done woodwork before. 

It worked well but broke the tip of my blade (good thing I have more). 

For the windows, I cut some plastic into squares.

Easy to see!

And added curtains!

To brighten the light a bit, I painted the surrounding plastic with white paint then gold glitter.

Almost looks happy :)

All of the wood was sprayed with clear varnish on both sides, to  protect it a bit more.

All the components were hot glued together, the glue sealing up any cracks. I also added a mirror on the back wall (inside obviously).

Light off.

Light on!!!

The roof was also given a plastic cover to protect it from rain.

Plastic yet to be trimmed.

With the door I got one from online and had to cut it down a bit to fit the house.

It didn't have any handles so I added some using these 'cover buttons'. I don't know what they are really for, but I also used some to make a few mushrooms!

Then I painted the door dark purple.

And then varnished it.

To attach it, I had these wee little hinges. I first glued them in place then hammered in some tiny nails. To hold the nails for hammering, I used blu-tac. 

To protect the inside of the house, I ended up blu-tac-ing the door closed so it wouldn't get bugs in it. I put a clear plastic veranda over the door to protect it even more.

Mmmm, blurry!

To keep it off the ground and keep it dry, I popped it onto these tubes with sand (weight) in them. 

Finally we pop a chair inside for any visiting fairies and a kitteh outside.

Verdict: Kinda goofed by putting the solar panel on the least sunny side possible. 
But, my parents love it! And I do too! <3

Versace - Versense - Eau de Toilette

This was a little sample bottle I had, I don't normally buy designer things, just to make that clear!

To me, it has notes of lime, green foliage, woody notes and a little bit of coconut. This is a morning, spring scent to me, with only a short lasting time and small sillage.

Fragrantica places the notes as follows:
Top notes - bergamot, fig, green mandarin, citruses, pear
Middle notes - lily, jasmine, cardamon, narcissus
Base notes - sandalwood, Virginia cedar, olive tree, musk

Price: 1/5 (rrp $110 for 50mL)
Season: Spring (this is my own opinion in this section)
Weight: Light (I mean as in the 'weight' of the scent... does that make sense?)
Overall possum liking: 4/5
