Blue, sunflower yellow, and mint green eyeliners paired with electric eyeshadows were a touch of summer in winter runway shows. The contrast between a bare face, nude lips and bold eyes are a fresh mesmerizing twist.

We all should have at least one favorite apple to bit into, since just in United States there are 2,500 varieties of apples and 7,500 varieties are grown throughout the world.
Apples may well be one of the most healthy foods for us to include in our daily diet.
Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fiber.
And as far as that list, the best apples to eat are:
Red delicious, Liberty, Honey crisp, Braeburn, Granny Smiths which have the most beneficial effect on good gut bacteria.
And what about apple juice? It is a good source of vitamin C, and it’s actually healthy in moderation. But the whole apple is better, with far more fiber and nutrients that are in the flesh and skin and more power to fill us up.
Mercury candleholders add and reflect light. As a center piece or if spread around on any surface, in between picture frames, on a mantel, or the coffee table.
If you are willing to create your own Mercury candle holder here is a few steps to follow:
glass votives and hurricanes
1 package silver leaf
1 package gold leaf
leaf adhesive
1″ artist brush
soft, mop head brush
Use a 1 inch artist brush, apply leaf adhesive to inside of votive or hurricane. Wait for it to dry until adhesive is clear and tacky. Use a thin coat and brush over adhesive after about ten minutes of drying time to prevent drips and pooling.
Tear gold leafing into small pieces and sprinkle inside votive in a random pattern. Use a finger tip to gently smooth down gold leaf.
