I used tape for the perfect winged line.
Katvond ink liner in trooper.
Urban decay naked 2 palette. I used Foxy all over the lid and the shade suspect on the lid bone.

Fairy Forest Makeup look

2016-02-18T17:10:00.001-07:00

Fairy forest makeup look @isabellethornton

Mac cosmetics started the trend few months ago, Ulta predict it to be a very big trend this Spring and I would agree. The Fairy look is in. The secret is a glowing skin. Lots of highlighting or strobing, soft colors and a little whimsy. I was inspired by my eyeshadow palette to create this look.

The Makeup:

Face: Maybelline baby face primer. Loreal Lumi cushion foundation in w2. Too Faced chocolate soleil bronzer for contouring. Too Faced candlelighglow highlighter above eyebrows, bridge of nose, temples, chin, top lip and eyelid.

Eyes: Milani stay put brow color in 02 natural taupe. A soft brow is key for this look but very define. Laura geller The delectable eye shadow palette. I used tape for a sharp definition leaving room for the highliter under the eye with vanilla all over the eye, mushroom as a transition color, sunrise in crease and above and also on bottom lid with khaki in corner of eye. NYX slide on, glide on and definitely a turn on waterproof extreme shine eyeliner in Tropical green SL09. I used it to draw a line as an under eye cat eye, with no liner on top. It is an Emerald color.

Lips: Loreal colour riche in au natural lip liner. Mac lipstick in Giddy. This lipstick is a Lustre so it doesn't stay very long on the lips but it's beautiful.

Jennifer Lopez makeup inspiration

2016-01-31T19:11:00.005-07:00

Jennifer Lopez makeup look @isabellethornton

Face: Loreal Paris true match LUMI cushion foundation w2. Favorite drugstore foundation at the moment.

Becca cosmetics after glow highlights kit palette. I used all the shades Moodstone, rose gold, Topaz and wild Honey. All except the peach blush named flower child . Great quality and natural glow. Available at Ulta.

Lips: Loreal collection exclusive Jlo lipstick . She picked it for a good reason. It's just like her.

Rimmel lipgloss Stay glossy in blushing belgraves. Just a tiny bit.

Fitness progress in January

2015-01-28T06:00:00.000-07:00

My healthy breakfast: Chobani coconut yogurt and Cascadian organic granola

I told myself that January would be different this year and that I would have a great month. Why is January always so boring? I have been tired on the top of that. The Holiday eating madness got to me. This last week I have done great in going back to a good eating habit and some exercising. The cold is really hard on me too. I just want to go outside and walk but I can't do it for very long.

A toddler can be challenging. They start to get in everything. I have to get in the bath with her in the morning if I want to get clean and move my makeup to the kitchen if I want to get ready. The hair is another story. I just can't stay on the couch all day because I am afraid she will get into dangerous things. I have to adapt. I have done it before.

What I have done different this week:

1200 to 1500 Calories a day.

Piyo or 21 day fix DVDs.

8 glasses of water.

What have been your challenges this January?

Lately on Instagram

2015-01-27T06:00:00.000-07:00

Got this Aqua green green house at Hobby Lobby. I'll start dwarf daisies in it for my front yard.

Little moments are the sweetest. My little girl eating her oatmeal and sharing my Shakeology shake. My Amaryllis from Christmas bloomed late.

I selfie. Because sometimes when you are a Mom of a little kid, putting makeup on and doing my hair should be celebrated.

I have a stalker cat. Can I get one minute in peace in the bathroom?

Elsa again in my bathroom window.

First time at gymnastics. Pretty happy...

Silly girls: Cute Monsters

2015-01-08T06:00:00.000-07:00

I never got to show you some cute pictures I took when we dressed up as monsters for Halloween. I love to dress up and take pictures. No secret there.

My 2 youngest ones loved it. My 2 oldest ones where party poopers and wanted to be something else.

Instagram lately

2015-01-07T06:00:00.000-07:00

I have some super cute pictures on Instagram. I love pics so it's a perfect place for me to hang out.
Giving you a sample of what I have been thinking and posting over there.
You can found me @isabellethornton

My word for 2015 is clean. Clean house, clean eating, clean thought (positive thoughts). Clean everything.

This year I want to reach for the stars. Focus on something that really makes me exited and go for it.

My Master bedroom window. First time in my life decorating my house for Christmas. Wreath on door and windows and lights on the bottom part. we will do the top next year.

It snowed on Christmas day. We had such a warm winter so far and it was like a little blessing from heaven. You can see the daybreak temple in the back.

Sleepy time. A binky, sippy cup, kitty and Mommy.

Follow me and let me know, I will follow you back.

XOXO

Our chaotic Christmas

2015-01-06T06:00:00.000-07:00

I won this Christmas center piece on Instagram. It's from Foxglove flowers and gifts in Provo, Utah. I was so happy because I had nothing for my dinning table decor.
Pretty stunning!
Should I tell you our chaotic Christmas? It all started when I got sick with a weird stomach flu. Then the kids got a cold flu and we spent Christmas week on the couch watching the Harry Potter series. Didn't have Christmas dinner until 3 days later and still wasn't great...The worst thing I think is trying all night to lower my 2 year old temperature. Yep.
Positive:
I love the Harry Potter series,
No one threw up.
We had awesome gifts this year.

Then, The washer broke down. The dryer too. Got a leak from the washer.
Positive: I had kept our old washer and dryer and the leak didn't damaged the walls. Yep.

Then my car broke down. To found out by a very nice man who was there when I thought my car was going to explode that my water hose had a big hole and it had been taped. So now, I had an accident 4 years ago and this is where I had damage. The mechanic guy taped it instead of replacing it. So dishonest!
The positive:
My husband fixed it and I held my phone as a flashlight. He was Cutting rubber and all. He is amazing!

At the end, despite of this chaos I can only be grateful. Everything worked out and could have been much worse. We are healthy after all and our little house and car are still working.
Some blessings are in disguised...
How was your Christmas?

Cinnamon Gingerbread man ornaments DIY

2014-12-19T14:27:00.000-07:00

This recipe is made with Apple sauce, glue and cinnamon powder and my special secret ingredient.
10 years ago I find this recipe in a Christmas book and this year I finally made it again. All the old ornaments are broken by the kids. This is my favorite Christmas ornament craft. This is also great to give as gifts. I make my own cute little designs on the gingerbread man.

I love the glue in the recipe. I think it keeps the ornaments last longer.
Cinnamon and cloves Gingerbread man ornaments

Makes 40 ornaments

4 cups ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup washable liquid white school glue
3 cups Apple sauce.
To decorate:
Tulip slick dimensional paint in red and white.
Ribbon of choice.

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Knead until you get a smooth dough.
Wait 30 minutes when the dough is formed. It will make the ornaments smoother.

I use a rolling pin. I roll 2 cups of dough on cellophane wrap and cut the ornaments on it. You want the ornaments to be thick. They will flatten when dry. Cut with gingerbread cutter. Take the extra dough out around the ornaments. With a straw carefully make a whole for the ribbon. Do not place the whole too close to the edge or it will crack. Transfer by sliding the plastic and ornaments on a cookie sheet then to a surface away from kids hands to dry up to 4 days. If the ornaments start to lift up on the edges turn them on the other side. I use Tulip slick dimensional fabric paint in red and white to make the 3 D design on the gingerbread man. Add a ribbon.

This craft is really a must save. It makes my tree smell amazing and they are so darn cute! Great keepsakes.

French Christmas red and white wreath DIY

2014-12-14T18:39:00.001-07:00

This wreath is very easy, super stylish! I wanted to make a white and red wreath with a French flair to match my inside decor. The Home tour is coming Tuesday by the way...

I bought a ceiling medallion.

Started painting whith red acrylic paint and a small brush the details.

I made a mixture of red glitter and modge podge and applied it on the top of the red paint when it was dry. I love the results. No messy glitter on your hands when you touch it and it has a gilded look.

Pretty red gingham bow and voila!

Merry Christmas!
