DIY Fix Broken Makeup!

Hey DIYers, have you ever dropped your makeup and it shatters? Well I have, and it honestly sucks... AND, I dropped it on Christmas Day. Aghhh! Today's DIY will help you repair/fix your broken makeup and make them look pretty much brand new. Powders, Highlights, Bronzers, etc. You will need: - Broken makeup - Clean knife - Rubbing alcohol - Paper towel or tissue Steps: 1. Collect all of the broken makeup pieces in the bottom of the compact. 2. Break up the makeup as fine as you can using a very clean knife. 3. Add a few drops of rubbing alcohol and mix until it forms a paste; add a few more drops if needed. 4. Spread and smooth makeup back into the compact. Tap on a flat surface to remove any air bubbles. Let dry about 1 hour, or until almost dry but still a little damp. 5. Cover the makeup surface with a clean paper towel or tissue. Use the cap of the rubbing alcohol bottle to pack and smooth the makeup even further. Let dry completely. 6. You're done! Tip: If

DIY Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches

Hey DIYers! How has your summer been so far? Mine has been great! Today's DIY is DIY Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches. These taste BOMB because what's a better dessert than Churros and Ice cream combined? (That was a rhetorical question ;)) Let's get started! You will need: (This makes 10-12 churro ice-cream sandwiches) - 3 cups water - ⅓ cup oil - ½ tablespoon salt - 2 cups flour - Oil, for frying - 1 cup sugar - ¼ cup cinnamon - Ice cream of your choice (vanilla is best in my opinion) Steps: 1. In a large pot, bring the water, oil, and salt to a boil. 2. Add the flour and turn the heat off. Quickly stir the flour until it forms a smooth paste/ball. 3. Transfer the dough into a piping bag lined with a star tip. 4. Pipe 6-inch spirals onto a sheet lined with parchment paper, starting from the middle and going around in a circle, making sure that there are no gaps between the loops. 5. Repeat with the remaining dough. 6. Freeze the circles for at least 2 hours.
