Theme 27: 🫦 Smokey Shamey 🫦

I hope @gallacrafts will indulge my curveball take on the Smokey Shamey theme, as I rock up with some: Smokey Eye Make Up Looks

DEBBIE

To me Debbie will always be the little girl who never got that princess party she dreamt of, hence a pink smokey cat-eye, finished with pink glitter highlights.

MANDY

I am leaning into Season 6 Mandy, with a classic black liquid liner cat-eye and a matt grey smokey eyeshadow. Understated and classy, while still being playful and sexy.

KEVIN

There is nothing more durable than a smokey eye in brown, blended out to skin colour - one of my favourite make ups for a rainy day at the farm, because it will still look pretty decent by the end. Solid and dependable, just like Kevin!

IAN

I’m normally a big fan of contrast colours, but if you’re a redhead with pretty green eyes then you lean into that green as hard as you can!! We’ve got two shades of green (light on the lid, dark in the crease), blended out into a shimmery gold, green eyeliner on the lower lid, and black eyeliner & mascara on the upper.

MICKEY

And finally we have the OG black kohl smokey eye - perfect for our little trash panda! You want your black eyeshadow to be highly pigmented, and don’t be afraid to get a bit messy with it. You’re a Milkovich, not a Chanel model! On top of the black eyeshadow we have some black glitter, for depth. And of course it wouldn’t be a Mickey look without some characterful brows and chewed pink lips!!

And then of course post Season 4 we get Mickey ‘I Just Want Everyone Here To Know I’m Fucking Gay’ Milkovich, the bravest little thug muffin on the South Side, deserving a special rainbow smokey eye look in his honour!

Some make up ramblings behind the cut, for anyone interested :)

I get most of my make up from the cheap counter at whatever pharmacy I'm in - teen brands are great for cheap yet decent quality items! However I do have some preference in terms of performance for certain things. I love my EcoTools make up brushes. You can pick up a pack of 5 brushes for a tenner, but if you can find the set of 2 double headed brushes - Eye Enhancing Duo Brush Set - you've got all you need for a smokey eye look in two handy brushes! I've been using mine for years with no bristle loss or decrease in quality. Very very happy with those! Eyeshadow - I'm a slut for a MAC pallet. They're not all as good as each other, and occasionally you get an eyeshadow that barely leaves any pigment on your skin and it's infuriating! But 80% of their colours are great. And you can buy colours individually on their website / at a MAC make up counter, and then you can fit them into a non branded make up pallet you pick up at amazon or your local pharmacy for a couple of quid, allowing you to put together you're perfect personal pallet! Barry M does little pots of loose pigment in ALL the colours of the rainbow, called Dazzle Dust, and they are amazing!! Please do take a few days of experimenting if you are not used to working with loose pigment, as it can get MESSY lol A good trick is to go heavy on powder foundation under your eye prior to starting your eye make up, so any loose pigment catches on a layer of powder that you can then just brush off with a big powder brush.

I also have little pots of glitter (purchased from a craft store) in all the colours of the rainbow and a small bottle of stage make up adhesive. You will find there's a million different glitter adhesive gels and fix it sprays, some of them may be amazing, however many of them are going to work the exact same way as a simple application of some vaseline would. Depending on the effect I want I either use a small paint brush to very precisely apply glue and glitter pieces (glitter eyeliner, cut brows with glitter lines, individual glitter dots), or alternatively I use a lip gloss or similar sticky clear substance and sprinkle the glitter (for glitter blush, glitter temples etc.)

I have bought many a mascara promising many a thing (longer, thicker, fuller, rounder, magic in some way or other) and honestly, I have never been able to tell the difference between their performances. As long as it doesn't clump and go tacky after a week of use, it's fine by me.

For eyeliners - I have a few choice colours in MAC, but for the essentials I love essence cosmetics, which are one of the teen brands I mentioned above. Their liquid liner pens (24ever ink liner for example) are some of the best I've ever used, and they're like £2.50 each. Otherwise, I like eye pencils you can sharpen for the exact precision I desire, not the waxy sticks inside a plastic case that you operate like a mechanical pencil. Those are a big no no.

Okay, that's all I can think of on the fly.

Please add your favourite make up brands and tips and tricks in the comments! I love to learn from other people!

The Best Kitchen Loofah Sponges for Every Need

Loofah sponges are a natural and sustainable way to clean your kitchen. They are made from the dried skin of the loofah gourd, which is a type of vegetable. Loofah sponges are biodegradable and non-toxic, making them a great choice for the environment.

When choosing a kitchen loofah sponge, there are a few factors to consider:

Size: The size of the sponge will depend on the size of your kitchen and the tasks you will be using it for. A larger sponge is better for cleaning large surfaces, such as countertops and sinks. A smaller sponge is better for cleaning dishes and utensils.

Shape: The shape of the sponge can also be important. A round sponge is good for scrubbing in a circular motion. A rectangular sponge is good for cleaning corners and edges.

Texture: The texture of the sponge will affect how gentle it is on your surfaces. A soft sponge is better for delicate surfaces, such as non-stick cookware. A more abrasive sponge is better for cleaning tough messes.

Durability: The durability of the sponge will depend on how often you use it and how hard you scrub. A durable sponge will last longer.

Here are some of the best kitchen loofah sponges on the market:

OXO Good Grips Scrub Sponge: This sponge is made from a soft, durable loofah with a scrubbing surface for tough messes. It is dishwasher safe and comes in a variety of colors.

Here are some additional tips for choosing and using a kitchen loofah sponge:

Choose a sponge that is made from natural materials. This will help to ensure that the sponge is biodegradable and non-toxic.

Look for a sponge that is durable and long-lasting. This will save you money in the long run.

Rinse the sponge thoroughly after each use to remove any food or dirt particles.

Soak the sponge in a mixture of vinegar and water once a week to kill any bacteria.

Replace the sponge every 2-3 months, or sooner if it becomes damaged or moldy.

By following these tips, you can choose and use a kitchen loofah sponge that will keep your kitchen clean and sanitary.

Eco-Friendly Beauty Swaps: Sustainable Alternatives to Popular Makeup Products

Image Credit: Dziana Hasanbekava

Most of our favorite beauty products have a hidden cost (which we'll soon get into). But don’t worry! Making small, eco-friendly beauty swaps can be just as glamorous, without compromising the planet.

A Little Beauty "Something" You Should Know

The beauty industry generates over 120 billion units of packaging each year. Most of it isn't recyclable. And then there’s the actual makeup itself, filled with synthetic chemicals, microplastics, and ingredients that don't do our skin and environment any good.

Don't attack me yet, I'm not saying you shouldn't put on some lipstick or powder. What I'm really trying to say is; how can we look good while doing good? It all starts with swapping out a few key items.

1. Foundation

One of the biggest culprits in the beauty world is foundation bottles. They’re often made of plastic or come in unrecyclable glass.

Eco Swap: Try a refillable foundation. Many brands now offer foundations in reusable containers. Brands like Kjaer Weis and Elate Cosmetics are paving the way by offering eco-friendly packaging and natural, skin-loving formulas.

These brands allow you to purchase refills, minimizing waste. Not only are these organic ingredients better on your skin, but you’ll also cut down on single-use plastic packaging....a win-win!

2. Lipsticks

Lipsticks are another beauty staple that frequently comes in non-recyclable tubes. The good news? Sustainable alternatives exist that deliver just as much pigment and hydration.

Eco Swap: Go for biodegradable or refillable lipstick tubes. Brands like Axiology make lipsticks using all-natural ingredients and biodegradable packaging. RMS Beauty also offers lipsticks in glass and aluminum packaging, both of which are much easier to recycle than traditional plastic.

3. Mascara

Mascara is a makeup must-have, but traditional mascara tubes and wands contribute significantly to waste. Most mascara tubes aren't recyclable due to the mix of plastic and metal components.

Eco Swap: Opt for a zero-waste or refillable mascara. Companies like Trestique and Izzy Zero Waste Beauty offer mascaras with refillable components, cutting down on plastic waste. The packaging is sleek, chic, and eco-friendly, proving that sustainability can still be stylish.

4. Makeup Brushes

Ever thought about what your makeup brushes are made of? Well, many brushes are crafted from the “same ole” synthetic, non-biodegradable materials.

Eco Swap: Look for makeup brushes made from sustainable materials like bamboo and recycled aluminum. EcoTools and Bamboo Naturals offer high-quality, eco-friendly brushes that work just as well as conventional ones. Plus, bamboo is a renewable resource, making it an excellent choice for sustainability.

5. Cleansing Wipes

Makeup removal wipes can be quite convenient, but they’re often non-biodegradable and full of chemicals that aren’t great for your skin or the planet.

Eco Swap: Instead of single-use wipes, try reusable cotton rounds or cloths. Brands like LastObject and Marley’s Monsters offer washable, reusable cotton pads that can be used over and over again. They’re gentle on your skin and reduce the amount of waste generated by your beauty routine.

6. Eyeshadow Palettes

Eyeshadow palettes are often made with plastic, magnets, and mirrors, making them nearly impossible to recycle. An alternative?

Eco Swap: Opt for palettes made with recyclable or compostable materials. Aether Beauty is one brand leading the way, offering gorgeous eyeshadow palettes in zero-waste packaging. The best part? Their formulas are cruelty-free, vegan, and filled with ethically sourced ingredients.

7. Powder Products

Powders like blush, bronzer, and setting powders are another area where waste adds up, especially when packaged in bulky plastic compacts.

Eco Swap: Look for brands that offer refillable powder products. Tata Harper and Alima Pure offer beautiful options with refillable packaging, ensuring you can keep your favorite shades while cutting back on waste.

Why It Matters

You might be thinking, “Do these small swaps really make a difference?” Yes, they do! Every step toward sustainability, no matter how small, contributes to a bigger change. By choosing products that are kind to the environment, you’re voting with your wallet for a future that’s not just beautiful, but also sustainable.

With all that Said

Switching to eco-friendly beauty alternatives doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or style. In fact, many sustainable beauty brands offer high-performing products with the added bonus of being kind to the environment. By making thoughtful swaps, you can still enjoy your beauty routine while helping reduce waste and protect the planet.

So the next time you’re shopping for makeup, ask yourself: can this be reused, refilled, or recycled? Let’s prove that beauty and sustainability can go hand in hand and look fabulous while doing it!
