Pink Hair

Lately there has been a trend of celebrities and just regular people dying their hair pink. Pink has always been my favorite color ,but I would never dye my hair a color that bright.  I just don’t have the guts to do it. It varies from just a few pieces to a whole head of pink.

Katy Perry- All of her hair is pink now, but she started out with just a few highlights.

Best Eyeshadow Ever!!

My mom recently bought me 2 shades of Lid Smoothie Antioxidant 8-Hour Eye Colour from Clinique She bought me Cashew Later and Ginger-ly( the first is a pearly tan color and the second is a bronze-y color. My eyeshadow always creases so, she thought maybe this wouldn’t. I figured it would be just like the others, but I was wrong! I wore it all day at school and when I got home it looked exactly the same as it did when i put it on that morning, so it lasted more than 8 hrs. The eyeshadow goes on as a cream ,but dries as a powder. To apply it you squeeze a small amount onto your finger or a eyeshadow applicator. You can add more/less depending on the look you want. I highly recommend this product to anyone!

Braids are BACK!

Braids are really in right now. Easy or complicated, every day style or beach style, red carpet style or twist braid, French braid or cornrow braid, even goddess braid you name it and someone will rock that style! Here are a few styles and how to do them.

Fishtail Braid

1.  Start by gathering your hair to the side and dividing it into two sections. (This is instead of three sections, like you would for a regular braid.)

2. Hold both sections in one hand, separated by your pointer finger, and use your other hand to grab a small piece from the outside of one section.

3. Pull the strands over to the other half, and then take a piece from the outside of that section and braid the opposite way. Imagine that you’re doing a typical braid, except the moving pieces are tiny.

4. Keep going until you’ve just about reached the end and finish it with a clear elastic. It’s even better if it’s messy, so pull out some strands and stretch out the braid for an intentionally undone look.

 

Boho Braid

This is a fairly simple hairstyle. First part your hair on the side, take the front part of your hair of bangs and french braid it. When you are done secure it with a clear rubber band or bobby pins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Side Ways French Braid

• 1

  Gather a three-inch section of hair on one side of your head above the ear. Separate it evenly into three strands. Hold the strands apart from each other so that there is a left, middle and right strand.

• 2

  Braid the three strands together as if you were creating a regular braid. Cross the left outside strand over the middle strand, the right outside strand over the middle strand and so on. Aim the braid up toward the crown of your head, away from your ear.

• 3

  Once you have braided three or four turns, start to incorporate the rest of your hair with the braid. Gather a bit more loose hair into the braid each time you cross a section over the middle strand. Pace yourself so that by the time the braid is at the top of your head, you have incorporated almost all of your hair into it.

• 4

  Work the braid down toward your opposite ear. Braid it normally once all your hair is incorporated into the plaits. When you reach the end of the braid, secure it with a small hair binder. Use bobby pins the same color as your hair to secure any loose strands throughout the braid.

Scarves

It’s almost fall so, now its scarf weather:) I love scarves they make a plain t-shirt and jeans look put together and they can add a pop of color to any outfit. For this post I decided to show a few you of my favorite scarves in stores right now.

1. I like this scarf because its not too heavy and not too light. I also love the paisley print and color. It’s from American Eagle.

2. This scarf is from Abercrombie, it is pretty heavy, but it will be good for those cold winter months. I like this one because one of my favorite colors is navy and I love stripes.

3. This scarf is from Urban Outfitters. I like it because of its texture. As seen in the picture it looks really cute paired with a sweater.

Missoni for Target

The popular high end brand Missoni  has come out with a line for Target.  The line is priced much lower , so you don’t have to break the bank  for these items. The brand’s popularity has been heightened by its new zig zag print.   The Missoni line  includes men’s, children’s, and women’s clothing and accessories,  home decor, bikes, beauty items, and luggage. It came out on Tuesday and most of the items have already sold out.  It brought so much traffic to Target’s website thar it crashed.  Sources say that many items will be back in stock this week..

MY FAV ITEMS:)-

Fall Beauty Trends

Not only do fashion trends change from season to season, beauty trends do too. Now that it’s almost fall the makeup, nail, and hair trends are changing to fit the season’s new  looks.

Hair:

Bouncy blowouts and center parts are the popular hairsyles this fall. To achieve a bouncy blowout look, blowdry hair with a round brush, lifting it up at the roots. Personally, I don’t think center parts look flattering on many people. The only people that I’ve really seen with center parts that I thought looked really good are the Kardashians

Make-up:

Smokey metallic eyes. a traditional smoky eye  with a pop of gold or silver, are really in this season . Winged eyeliner and BIG lashes are also in. Another trend is bright lips in colors such as crimson and ruby.

Nails:

The look for nails is elegant jewel tones or  muted earth tones and  texture. It is trendy to have a contrasting shade of polish on  your ring finger.

 

FALL SHOE TRENDS!

In the above post I didn’t mention fall trends for shoes therefore, I decided to write about them today. Fall is the season where most new shoe trends come out.

Trendy shoes this fall:

1. Wedge boots, fur boots and Boots with laces, ties, buckles etc…
2. Animal print heels and flats
3. Heels with bows and ruffles
4. Chunky heels and reptile skin
5. Spiky heels
6. Anything suede
7. One of the biggest trends-Metallic colors- metallic shoes with glitter, crystals, and rhinestones

There are a few more that I didn’t mention, but just remember if you wear a shoe that stands out try to keep the rest of your outfit low-key.
