Beauty Guru on a Budget - DIY Ring Light for $15

So I've been wanting a ring light for ages now because I know the lighting in my videos.... well it sucks.  Its yellow and just blah.  The cheapest ring light I could find (amazon) was about $80.  This girl currently doesn't have $80 to spare.  So here's my DIY version that I think works pretty darn good. 



What you'll need and where you can find it:
  • wreath frame - http://bit.ly/2lidK8P or http://bit.ly/2rx9Dv4
  • aluminum foil
  • LED rope lights - http://bit.ly/2qY9ke2
  • zip ties/cable ties - http://bit.ly/2rI3lqR
I didn't think I need to link the aluminum foil... just saying.


What to do:
  1. Wrap the entire wreath frame in foil.  You can go around as many times as you'd like.  For extra security add some tape to the back of it so the foil stays put.
  2. Using a cable tie, attach the end (not the pluggable part) of your rope light to the outside part of the wreath.  (See video if thats confusing).  You can double up on the cable ties at this part.
  3. Continue wrapping and securing the rope like with the cable ties around the wreath frame.
  4. Leave enough dangling at the end so that you have a long enough cord to plug in (I have to use an extension cord for the extra length).
I know.... as easy as that sounded, it still took me a year to actually get around to doing it.  In all honesty, you can find all the items at the Dollar Tree except for the lights.

Wish or Miss (Hit or Miss) Review of Eyebrow Tint from Wish.com/Wish App

First thing's first, I believe I am addicted to Wish.com.  There's just everything I could ever want!  Buuuutt, as we all know, that also means that these items are not always what they seem.  So here's my review of the "Mu Brow Gel - Eyebrow Tint"


Now in the video I do mention that I don't know how long the product lasts and I feel it necessary to mention that the listing for it does say 3 days.  

If you don't have time to watch the video then heres the deal:
The eyebrow tint does work.

It lasted about two days for me as by the third morning I couldn't see much of it left on my eyebrows.  So if you dont mind reapplying the product every few nights then its worth a try.  I would also suggest it if you are planning a quick trip and want to forgo the extra eyebrow grooming tool.
