"Beauty supplies" tutorial!

Hey guys! As you can see from my previous post, I won Fun with AG Fan's contest! The set I won as my prize came with a thing the set said was a "beauty case", so I decided to make some "beauty supplies" to go with it! Here is the tutorial!
 Supplies: An old cereal or candy box or anything like that, scissors, a clear pony bead, a large bead, hot glue gun, clear plastic, a random piece of fun foam, pink fun foam, black fun foam, two other colors of fun foam in corresponding colors of your choice, tin foil, an old toothbrush, a q-tip, and black, white, and a lipgloss looking nail polish.
 For the blush, cut a black rectangle about the size of your dolls hand and cut a pink piece like shown and glue it on.
 Cut small black strips and outline it with them. Then cut one long black strip and glue it around the sides.
 Cut a piece of clear plastic the size of the top of your whole container and bend the edge down.
 Glue it on the back and glue another strip of black foam over that.
 Cut a small piece of your old box, fold it into thirds, glue it down, and cover it with black foam.
 Put some hot glue on the top of it and press your tooth brush into it. Wait a while, then cut the bristles off your toothbrush and they should be connected to your brush.
 Paint the bristles black with your nail polish.
 And your blush is done!
 For the mascara, cut your q-tip in half and use the same method for the mascara brush as you did with the blush brush except do it all around.

 Paint it black, then roll up a piece of cardboard, making it smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, and cover it with foam.
 Put foam on the top,
 and the bottom and poke a hole through the bottom one. Then insert your brush.
 Lastly, roll a piece of your cardboard again smaller at the top and larger at the bottom, leaving a hole in the middle big enough for the brush to fit in, and cover it with foam, including the bottom (not the top). Wrap a strip of your coordinating foam around the top piece(make sure you only glue the strip to the top piece so that it can open).
 For the lipgloss, roll a piece of fun foam smaller than your pony bead and paint it white then your lipgloss color. Glue it on your pony bead.
 Glue a piece of clear plastic around it.
 Roll up a piece of foam a tiny bit smaller than your lipglosss, and cover it with foil, and glue it on.
For the nail polish, roll up a piece of cardboard, cover it with black foam, and glue it on a large bead.
And your finished! Now your doll has some nice beauty supplies to make her look prettier!


Thanks for reading! Bye!

Prize from Fun with AG Fan! + review!

Hello! A few days ago, I received my prize from Amaya from Fun with AG Fan for winning her doll and pet photo contest! I did a photostory/photoshoot plus a review of the set! First,  I'd like to give a huge thanks to Amaya for sending me the prize! I love it so much! You guys should also check out her blog by clicking the title of her blog above! Her blog is awesome and it is one of my favorites! Now, onto the pictures!


 One morning, Claire was just sitting back and relaxing, listening to music.
 She had just gotten a new phone and was really excited to use it!

 After a while, she decided that she should probably go get ready for the day. So, she picked up her bag and headed to the bathroom.

 She pulled out her beauty case and started to open it.

 Once she had all the "beauty supplies" out, she started putting them on!
 First, she put on her blush.
 She gently brushed it on.
 Next came the mascara!
 She untwisted the lid and started putting it on.
 Next was lipgloss!
 She decided to skip nail polish for today, and began to put away her things.
 Now, Claire is ready for the day!





 Time to take some photos!



Onto the review!!!
 The first item in this set is a little smartphone! It is soooo cute! It even comes with little earbuds that are detachable!
The earbuds fit perfectly in your dolls ears! (You have to stick them in with sticky tack.)
 The bag is adorable! I love the colors!
 The inside of the bag is even cute!
 The "beauty case" is super cute! It is one of my favorite pieces in the set! I will probably use it as a pencil case though, because it looks like a pencil case more than a "beauty case".
 The camera is cute, but the back of it is not very realistic, as you can see below.
 Another thing about the camera is that the strap is a little short, so it can't be around your dolls neck at the same time as your doll is holding the camera.
Overall, I think this is super cute set and I totally recommend it! I give this set a 9 out of 10, because of the camera.
Again, thanks so much to Amaya for sending me this set! Be sure to check out her blog!

The girs CDD morning!

It was a quiet morning in the girls cabin, and everyone was fast asleep.
Kanani was snoring........
Lanie was sleeping peacefully.........
McKenna was having a crazy dream.......
And Claire was just sleeping normally!
Finally, Kanani woke up and stretched.
Then she woke up Lanie, her little alarm clock!
Lanie got out of bed and screamed "WAKE UP!!!!!!!"
It scared the girls so bad that they fell out of bed!
"Oh my goodness!" said Claire, still half asleep, " You scared me sooo bad! What's your problem?!"
After they were fully awake, they had a good laugh about what had happened.
