Easy Summer Nails
Hello! Today I got these two Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polishes that I’ve never tried before and wanted to test them out by doing a super simple nail tutorial. Hope you enjoy! So the first thing I did is apply a clear base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s Base Coat so the nail color adheres better to my nails. Once the base coat was dried, I applied two coats of the nail color in the shade “L.A. Smog” and let it dry for around 10 minutes. After around 10 minutes, I poured out a small amount of the nail color in the shade “Hollywood Land” to make a flower on…

One of my Favorites: Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit
Hello and welcome to Shop with Kendallyn! Today I decided to contour my face with this amazing ‘Simply Spoiled Contouring Kit’. ‘Contouring’ your face means you are creating an optical illusion that helps minimize, emphasize and shape your facial features using shadows and highlights. I am amazed with how smooth and pigmented all of the powders in this pallet are. My favorite shades out of all of these powders are the bottom left and the bottom right. Those two shades are the perfect shades to highlight and contour my face. I first used this light ivory/yellow-ish toned powder and swept it all over my face and really focused on the…

Enjoy the Little Things
Remember: “Enjoy the Little Things” This Burlap canvas I painted on is one of my favorites and is hanging in my bedroom. My sweet grandmother lost her husband, my grandfather, in January of 2014 due to very aggressive mouth cancer. That May, despite all the grieving, she took her first trip without her sweet husband to Wyoming to spend some time with her sisters. Along the way, she stopped at a Hobby Lobby craft store and picked out this beautiful burlap canvas just for me because she knew how much I painted. She told me to paint something I loved on it. Since I’ve never painted on burlap, I covered…
