How To's : Carton Trays

Do you ever wonder how on earth can you fix this kind of mess(I know! not a pretty site) without spending too much and at the same time help Mother Nature? Well, here's how!!









First, you gonna need these stuffs:


Any kind of wrapping paper
Any kind of Carton Box
Scissors
Cutter
Scotch tape
Double-sided tape
Glue



this I got from my favorite German Wafers ^^














Oh, this one is completely optional bought this from The Landmark





First things first:  




you wanna make sure that your carton box is completely  clean


Let's Start!!!



then you wanna cut the wrapping paper same size as your carton box


Put some glue to the carton box but remember not to put too much glue because it might soften the carton box and the wrapping paper  and we don't want that to happen 


So here, I am spreading the glue with my bare hands to even out the surface
let it dry for a moment



Fun Fact!:
 Did you know that when you say "Give Me a Moment" counts to 90 Seconds! 
So when someone tells you to give him/her a moment start counting from 1-90








Okay.. Going Back
you wanna tape the back for security and sturdiness


and also the sides


Here is the tricky part you wanna carefully draw a a narrow rectangle using your cutter and cut the upper part of the rectangle all the way leaving the base of the rectangle uncut. Do not use a heavy hand or your going to miss the fun part 




You need to push CAREFULLY the narrow rectangle inside your box


your box should look like this


then cut another (this depends on you liking if you don't wanna put your full efforts to it well its really up to you)





Should look like this. 

You see the messy carton residues?  



you also want to tape that because it will give some support to the lines and clean the mess 


you see that line? you're going to tape that on the middle rectangle for sturdiness


you see how nice it looks when it is taped plus it makes your tray a little water resistant so your not going to worry too much when you spill something inside






The next few steps is completely optional, if you do have lots of time like I do..


measure your tray box and size the translucent paper 


then, you wanna put some double-sided tape because if you will use glue it will be easily removed and this paper doesn't like to be used with a scotch tape so I need to use my trusty double-sided tape.






Tadaaa!!!!


the finished product!




Looks pretty cool and organized don't ya think? and this also exercises you creativity and your skills plus you'll be proud of what you did! Especially when someone visits your room  Yey!


One time my cousin saw this and said, "Wow how pretty! where did you buy this?" and then I said PROUDLY, "No, I made it" then she said that I am very skilled that just earned self-esteem points its really overwhelming


Oh excuse me and my twin's picture at the back haha 


Good Luck doing this!!!

I bought these sample for Php 100 in 1g pot, this is my second sampler hehe! because I cannot convince myself to buy the bigger I think its for Php280 and it is already in 4g pot. Furthermore, here's the link to Ellana's website if you are interested.

I bought mine in their SM Manila's Stall at the Supermarket/Hypermarket


I bought the foundation with these two :) 






the foundation is finely milled love it!

SWATCH TIME
appears lighter when unblended


left side without right side with the foundation
                                           blended foundation with the use of  brush see how it blurs my skin



CONCEALING TEST:

Okay, Okay!!! Here's my review about this supah cool blush


Got these from an Online Shop on Facebook will send the link to those who ask..








I was so shocked to see it that it is actually an eye shadow duo but the seller says that it is a blush duo nonetheless, love the color combination




           
             what it looks like(this is true to color)
    the pink has silver shimmers and the peach is matte 
                                               



  wow, this blush/eyeshadow duo keeps me fascinated
                                       




has a mirror and a brush compartment and a BRUSH!! :)
Shedding Test..

a little scratchy, not so soft but not so stiff either





no hair :)
                                                                   



picking up the color test.. 5/5!



I only dabbed the brush COOL!




the color payoff  is great! so PIGMENTED


Waterproof test..



with running water for about 20 seconds


yeap :) 



Waterproofiness: 4/5

rubbed 3x 

On the face:

peachy matte


pink with silver shimmer


the peach matte gives a nice glow and the pink with silver shimmers  gives a dolly look
