Celebrity Trend : Bangs.

Ever wonder how celebrities look so great? It might be the stylist, it might be the makeup artist, and the personal trainer doesn't help. Luckily you don't have to hire a personal trainer, stylist, and makeup artist to look like a celeberity, all you have to do is just follow the celebrity trends. And guess what the biggest trend is right now? You guessed it, it's bangs.

Example 1- Kate Moss.

Kate Moss's trendy bangs made her look ten years younger, and on top of her game. 

 

 

Kate Moss recently got some shaggy bangs and no one can deny, they were a great hit. They brought her back to life again, turning her from saggy and old, into a bombshell.

Example 2 - Lea Michele

Lea's eyelash grazing bangs were sexy and seductive.

 Lea Michele has been on top of her game this year, will the hit T.V. show under her belt, the only thing she needed was a hot new hairstyle. And boy,m did she get one. Lea's long bangs are smoking hot, and not one guy can deny.

Example 2 - Lily Cole

Model Lily Cole looked fab. with her modern bangs.

Short, but not so sweet is the perfect way to describe model Lily Coles new bangs. With a distinctly retro vibe the bangs had lots of sexy sass


So this holiday season give yourself the best gift of all, the gift of great hair.

Makeup brushes- the one thing you need to look good in makeup!

What's the one thing you need to have fabulous makeup? A gorgeous lipstick you say? Blue eyeshadow? Those can help, but the one thing you really need is makeup brushes! Makeup brushes make makeup soooooooo much easier to apply, it's not even funny. Like blush, how are you supposed to put on blush without a brush? Badly, that's how! And an eyeliner brush can turn regular eyeshadow into eyeliner! IT'S MAGICAL!

Summer makeup!

YES! Summer is here! And it can only mean 1 thing, summer makeup! So take of your smokey eye, and lets start.

Gold shimmer-

Shimmery gold eyes are absalutley G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S right now so rock them! You can either line your eyes in gold(m fav look right now), or just take a finger and smudge it all over your lids.

Blue eyeshadow-

Takes you back to seventh grade right? But don't worry your experience with blue won't be nearly as traumatizing. What you need to remember is moderation, moderation, moderation, did I mention moderation? By only lining you tops lids you keep this look flirty, not trashy.

Bright lips-

Red lips are back! Great look for the beach, since all you have to do is put on lipstick. The thing to remember is, if you are a lighter skin tone wear red/orange shades, and if you have a darker skin tone wear red/blue shades.

Bronzer-

Bronzer can be tricky! Try just applying it to your cheek bones, nose and chin, and alway apply with a light touch (unless you want to look like Snooki, then go ahead, knock yourself out!).

So go out there and have a blast, while looking gorgeous of course! ;)

Hoq to remove mascara mess-ups.

Hate when your applying mascara and then -whoops!- you slip and get mascara under your eye? Don’t rush to clean it up just yet, it turns out waiting a little bit can help.


Next time your applying mascara and get it on your skin, don't freak! It comes off in seconds once it's dry.

 

When mascara is still wet trying to get it off your skin can just make it worse, it can smudge it everywhere! But once mascara is dry it becomes flacky and by just rubbing it with your sleeve (that’s what i dp for quick public fix-ups) it easly comes off.

 

So keep your skin mascara free, with this little tip.

 

 

Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara Review

From the title I think you can tell what it is was but I’l tell you anyways, it was Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum’ Express. It was pretty cheap (7.49) so I thought what the hay, extra bonus was the super cute bottle!


After getting home and I putting it on, and the first thing I noticed was that this mascara was BLACK. Like midnight no stars or moon black. So it’s definitely a night mascara. Second thing I noticed was how full and long my lashes were looking, they were huge! The last thing I noticed? The flakes on my lashes and the rub off. At the end of the day I came home to find big smudges under my eyes, so not cool.

Pros-

• Dramatic, perfect for night.
• Adds so much volume and length.
• Smells like… nothing.
• Cute bottle

Cons-

• Dramatic, too black for day.
• Leaves flakes on my lashes.
• Rubs off easily.
• Difficult to take off.

**** 4 out of 5 stars.

Should you buy this product- If you want drama, the Yes.

Lady gaga, before and after fame.

Lady Gaga, she seems to be the only thing the media can talk about now a days. But, was she always so, I don’t know, crazy? The answer may surprise you.
Truthfully, she was always sort of crazy in her music and dress. Here’s an old picture of her before she was really actually famous.

Back before she was famous and her name was Joanne Stefani Germanotta, she did still dress very sparingly, but nothing compared to how she dresses now. With her blond cropped hair and her almost pantless wardrobe, she is majorly differnt from the way she dressed back then.
And here’s a more recent pic of Lady Gaga.

Wow. Just plain wow. You see the difference? Bra and panties with chains goes to exploding bra and studded swimsuit ( Is it even a swimsuit? I don’t know what it’s called!).
So know your Lady Gaga, before and after she was famous.

The new lipstick I'm in love with.

I know my last post had to do with another makeup (Cargo Essential Eyeshadow Palette) but I’m really in love with this one too! It’s called Botanical Lipstick by Cargo.
It’s all natural and $2 out of each sale will go to St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital. But that’s not the only thing awesome about it. It gives great shine and sparkle and great moister. My lips are like the desert, but this lipstick made my lips like the rain forest (I know bad analogy but still… the lipstick is very moisturizing!) The shade I got was ‘Sarah’ (or ’shimmering pink pearl’) and I think it is universaly hot on everyone, so if you wanted to to try a color, I suggest that one. There are 17 shades to choose from though, so if you don’t like that one don’t worry. The final price is $2o. But, if your willing to find a Sephora masterclass called, ‘7 in 7′ you can get it for free. I was casualy browsing Sephora when I stumbled across the class and got a sampler bag with the lipstick in it. But even if your not as lucky as me and need to pay full price, I think it is an investment you won’t regret.

DIY- rice water toner.

Rice water as a toner, sounds crazy right? But a couple weeks ago I saw this video on youtube, and have been hooked ever since. It makes my skin smoother, softer, reduces redness, evens out my skin tone, and even helps get rid of pimples and black heads. Want to make your own magical rice water? Read more below.

How to make it

1.Take a small handful of natural or organic rice, and put it in a small bowl.
Next add hot water, so they’re is around half an inch of water above the rice.

2. Stir the water and rice with a straw until the water is cloudy

How to use it as a toner.

1.After the water is cloudy you can pour it out in to a small container, or leave it in the bowl.

2.Take the water and put a little on a cotton ball or any other applier of choice, and then apply like any other toner.

How to use it as a face mask.

1.Take a paper napkin and cut it till it’s the size or your face. Add eye, mouth, and nose holes.

2.Fold it up and soak it in the rice water.

3.Take it out of the water and squeeze out any extra liquid.

4.Place on face and go lie down some where for 10-15 mins.

I dare you to try it, and soon you’ll love it to!

The boho bun.

Now I know that there are a lot of cool up-dos out there but I think I have found the easiest and chicest look out there, and I'm here to share it with you. This hair style is perfect for working out at the gym (hey, you deserve to be cute all the the time!) or a fancy dinner, basically, this hair style is perfect for anything!

I call it, The Boho Bun.

Before I start a would like to say that this look is only if you can pull your hair back into a bun. Sorry short hair people, but don't worry a post about short hair is coming soon.

Step one, take two pieces from either side of the front of your head. (in between your ears and your forehead.) Braid those two pieces into two braids and leave them, they will come in handy later.

Step two, gather your hair into a tight, high bun. Make sure the front is smoothed back by brushing it with long strokes as you make the bun.

Step three, take the two braids you made earlier and bring them over the top of your head. Wrap the two braids around the base of your bun and pin.

Ta da, you have a totally chic and easy hair-do!

3 recession worthy rules.

Attention all shopaholics! I have some rules that will help you survive this recession! (without dieing in the process). I know that everyone has said that they were going to cut back, but actually cutting back, that was the hard part. My body works in a certain way (don't worry it's nothing weird!) I need to go shopping at least once a month just to keep on going. But shopping isn't the problem, it's the ooooh-it's-so-cute-I-have-to-buy-it 50 dollar over budget shirt that gets me in the end. So how do I keep shopping without going broke? Find out below!

1.When you enter a store go up to the counter and ask were the clearance items are, don't look at anything until you're in the clearance section, this will save you those pricey must-haves that we all hate so much.

2.Make sure you really love what your going to buy. Don't make an impulse buy, in order to avoid these check to make sure it fits where it should, so you don't go home and realize it's unflattering.

3.Don't bring your credit card and leave Mr. Franklin at home, that way it will be hard to extend to the 40 dollar range.

Follow those rules and you will end up with better bargains, better things, and most importantly more money!

The BEST nail polish color for toes.

Before I begin my post I would like to say this idea was given to me via one of my comments, so comment! Tell me what you would like to know! Ask questions, make suggestions, anything goes (as long as it's not mean of course)!

Sick and tired of plain, nail-polish-less toes? Don't want to pick the wrong color (even though removing it is easy)? Who isn't? But which color's the best? Hmmm...

Guess what? There are 2 'best colors'!

1. The first 'best color' is something you might not expect, baby blue. But not shimmery, mermaid-y blue, matte almost-frosty blue. It's a great base for designs, and looks great on short as well as long nails. Plus it works year-round, so you don't have to switch out nail polishes if you're feeling lazy

2. The second 'best' nail color is also light. It's light, slightly beige, matte pink. Matte colors are very in this fall, and this pink is no different. It also works great for fingers. (So does the blue.)

So get ready for fabulous toes, because now you know which colors are the best.

Make your own lipstain!

Lip stain is great for summer because on like other products ( *cough* Lipstick *cough) it actually stays on. So if you’re swimming, you can still have great looking lips. But lip stains only great if it doesn’t break the bank, so how do you get long lasting, great looking, cheap lip stain? You make it! Here’s a recipe for all natural, all fabulous, lip stain.

.3 or 4 raspberries.
.1 spoonful of olive oil.

Not very long is it? And it’s easy to mix! Just mash up the raspberries and add olive oil for a great lip stain.

Added bonus! Because the lip stains made from raspberries, it not only looks great,but smells and taste great too!

2.It makes you prettier, I don't care if bare is in, a little makeup never hurt anyone.
3.It can make you more confident (even though notice else but you can see that microscopic pimple!)

10. And last but not least, makeup can make you feel more beutiful, and that's all that matters in the end.

Cherry lipstain, this falls best lip color.

Want to know what to wear on your lips this fall? u can push y0ur gloss and lipstick to the bottom of your makeup drawer, becaues lipstain is the lip product of choice. But not just any color lip stain, try cherry.
Yes I’m talking about lipstain, but if you want to rock lipstain you need to learn the secrets of the trade. First of all, lipstain never goes on even, it leaves blotchy dark spots, and weird light spots. To avoid this rub your lipstain in after you apply it, and remember to check in the mirror before you go out to save from stained skin too. Secondly make sure you pick a good lipstain to avoid rub off. Try out last lipstain. I wore it at a the beach this summar and it lasted through dinner and swimming. Wow is right. But the perfect color for this fall is cherry. Make it darker in the middle of lips and gently lighten it out form there.
So wear it right this summar with cheery lipstain.
So wear it right this fall, will lipstain.

An easy diet, the raw sugar diet.

Now there are many diets out there that have a lot of planning going into them like only eating a certain amount of calories and what not but with diet you don’t have to count calories or eat salad, all  you have to do is not eat refined sugar. You can still have sugar but it can be refined white sugar it has to be as some like to call it, raw sugar. Raw sugar is made up of big (approximately 1/4 of a centimeter)chunks of light brown sugar, just don’t confuse it with brown sugar because they have distinctly different flavors. So were can you find this raw sugar? Well there is a brand that sells it and it’s called (the suspense builds!) ‘Sugar in the raw’ . They come in packets and containers and I have seen some at Starbucks but never at Dunkin’ donuts. So grab a packet of  ‘ sugar in the raw’ and make your way to a  slimmer, sexier, healthier you.

P.S. My favorite drink that is made with unrefined sugar is Honest Tea’s, Black Forest Berry. It’s refreshing, and with only 60 calories a bottle, it must have been made in heaven.
