DIY Galaxy/Cosmic Vans

Before

After

Things you will need:

1) Acrylic or fabric paint in the colors you would like to have on your shoes. (I used white with light and dark shades of blue and purple)

2) Small sponges, cosmetic wedges work really well.

3) A small paint brush to make the stars.

4) A damp towel in case you get paint on the rubber sides of the shoe.

A few tips:

*On the black canvas the colors may not show up, so start by sponging on white in the areas you want to place the other colors (i.e. purple and blue) 

*Add the stars last

*The little white stars are a really great touch-- don't forget this step.

*Test your sponging skills on paper first! It may take a bit of time to get the hang of it.

*Blending is key! You don't want sectioned blocks of color. The color in nebulas swirl together.

*Make sure your colors compliment each other. Look up pictures if you need inspiration.

In conclusion:

This was a pretty easy and fun DIY project. I'm in love with galaxy print so anything I can sponge with a nebula design, I most likely will. I'm pretty satisfied with how mine turned out. 

Good luck!

My new favorite drugstore concealer!

As I wake up rather early every weekday, I often have some darkness underneath my eyes. Hence the need for some coverage to make me at least appear well-rested. As far as drugstore brands go, this is the best I have found for hiding darkness. I would imagine it would erase any blemishes from sight just as well. I have oily skin and this stuff stays on all day! It is heavy duty, but is still very blend able and not cakey at all. It comes in the shades: light, medium and dark. I purchased mine in light since I was using it for my under eye area. (For those of you who don't know under eye concealer should be bought a shade lighter to brighten your eye area.) The brand Hard Candy is sold exclusively at Walmart and the price is a steal at about $7.00

Definitely a product worth trying!
