We like to think of ourselves as crafty little vixens. You know, real do-it-yourselfers.

Perpetual good things, if you will.

We've knitted...we've purled...we've even tried our hand at faux finishing. Okay, we haven't really but we know someone who has.

When we heard there was a company that combined two of our favorite things, makeup and a Sunday afternoon project, we jumped at the chance to get in on the action.

ColorLab Cosmetics offers a creative approach to beauty with 6 different Make-Your-Own kits from fruit-flavored lipgloss to shimmery shadows, each with its own case.

Can't seem to channel your inner Martha? Not to worry, the ColorLab website provides recipes to help you achieve just the right shade of Hollywood Hottie. (That's equal parts Starlight & French Vanilla in case you were wondering.)

Did we mention all of their products are cruelty-free?

Which is more than we can promise for the reaction you'll get from friends as you step out the door touting the latest version of Plum Bunny on your pout.

Trust us, they're just jealous. We're sure Martha would agree.

ColorLab Make-Your-Own kits are available at cosmeticmall.com. Learn more about ColorLab Cosmetics at colorlab-cosmetics.com.
