Tutorial: What A Difference A Dot Makes

I was working on an order for five dozen mini makeup cookies and decided to keep it simple.

The problem with keeping it simple is there's not a lot of smoke and mirrors to distract you from any flaws.  Like imperfect circles for instance.  My quick fix for wonky circles? Camouflage the crap out of them with a decorative dot border.  Check it out.

This little blusher = wonky city.

To correct shape add evenly spaced dots using a number 1 tip so they create a more perfect circle shape. Let dry. 

Come back with your number 1 tip and fill in blank spaces.  Booya!  Perfect-er circle with a decorative border.

Add a pretty little heart detail and you're in business.

Beauty Day Cookies

Now this is what I REALLY wanted for Mother's Day! A day of relaxation, rejuvenation and pampering! And enough Mac and Maybelline to make Tammy Faye (RIP) green with envy.  I just realized I am using the same lip gloss I bought at Sephora from my wedding makeup trial - OVER FOUR YEARS AGO.  (Yes, I am disgusting.  Or thrifty.  You choose.)  Take a look at all the girly goodness.  Enjoy!

Acetone cookies, anyone?  Anyone?

Cotton ball cookies.

I think the nail clippers are my fave.

Cooling cucumber slices.

Not a spa day without these beauties!
