Avengers Makeup Eyeshadow

I think this falls under being able to be a nerd AND look stunning, at the same time.
Jangsara is a makeup blog I came across for the first time. Thank you pinterest! She has tons of really unique looks, as well as some more neutral pieces for those who just need some eyeshadow tips.

This serious just blows my mind though. I've loved all the Avengers movies. I will admit, I never read the comics. I was a book girl, and had it in my head growing up that something with so many photos just couldn't be as good to read as something with no images.Since the movies started coming out, I've seen them all, and read up on many of the characters. These looks would be perfect to wear out to the next flick, for a Halloween party, or just to support your favorite character.
She even gives links to each character step by step and tells you what products were used. Sweet!

While hunting, some other super hero pieces came up as well.

Get Crafty - DIY designer sunglasses

There is a new set of sunglasses out by a-morir.

The price of these flower rimmed shades will set you back between $250-$400.

There is still a way to get some trendy flowered glasses without breaking the bank if you have a few bucks, an old pair of shades, and some strong glue.

The flowers on this set look porcelain. While pretty, that may chip and break easier than another material. Plastic would be much more durable. A quick search on a popular online marketplace (etsy) for pastel resin flower cabochons brings up quite a few options! I'd suggest using a thick rimmed pair of glasses so you have more surface area to work with and can fit more flowers.

If you live in a cool enough climate, you may be able to get away with using a hot glue gun to secure your blossoms, but if your summer gets hot, you probably want to pick up a tube of E6000 or something similar.

Go crazy! There are many different types of flowers in so many colors, you aren't limited to the purple/pink/blue combo, or the boring black ones that amorir sells. (lets face it, the black ones just wouldn't be worth it!). Try out roses, daisies, lotus, or one of the many other options.
