Tutorial: Curls WITHOUT Heat

hair air dried, no product.

Is it possible...

to beat the heat without breakin' a sweat in 3 minutes or less?

-Of COURSE it is! I learned this trick awhile back in high school when putting your hair in a bun was the "cool" thing to do and after school I would take it down and one side of my hair would be nice but the other would be weird. And I thought about it and I realized the reason one side was messed up and the other wasnt was because it was all in the same direction because it was in ONE bun! Don't get it? AHH, you'll see! Don't get ur knickers in a knot! Anywhoo, this method I use is perfect for me because I am blonde and well, when you're blonde, HEAT IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. 

Besides, it shaves off a good 15-25minutes off any "getting ready" time!

Here YA GO! ENJOY!

Tutorial: Light Smokey Eyes

 

 

I used Smashbox "Classifeyed" Palette & can you say PERFECT palette for blondes/brunettes who want a smokey eye without it being too harsh or raccoon eyed, or just in general for those who don't want the typical harsh smokey eye. Even though it's purple, it blends in very neutral and makes the browns in my eyes POP! 

 

& did you guys notice anything different? ANYTHING AT ALL!?

Give up?

Alright, it's my hair! I did it yesterday. I put in some medium ash brown low lights to add dimension and to make my roots blend in more during the blonde "grow out". It's cost effective and gives me more time in between root touch ups! Hip HIP HOORAY!

Oh yeah & the tutorial :) I hope you ENJOY IT :D

XOXO,

Are you a bottom? (Review & Haul)

Some girls like it on top, some on bottom....MASCARA THAT IS!! I'm definitely a bottom girl because I wear falsies on top and I definitely love the way full, top & bottom lashes look together. It gives my eyes enough definition for an everyday look without it looking too harsh with eyeliner! Anyways, check out the video to see my latest mascara find! Clinique Bottom Lashes ;)







Anyways, I know just  last week I posted about my new hair but I changed it, AGAIN!

I added in some brown low lights to give my blonde some dimension.

Smashbox Ionic Eyes Palette ($10)

Smashbox Classifeyed Palette ($15)

Benefit Cosmetics Feelin' Cheeky! Minis

From top to bottom: bene tint, high beam, posie tint

Each bottle is .13 oz and great for traveling. I'd have to say posie tint is my favorite because not only is it a check tint but it's a lip tint as well.

I purchased these during Sephora's 15% off for Beauty Insiders event. If you're not a beauty insider you should definitely sign up to be so you can rack up your beauty points, get emails for sales & events & there are other perks of being a beauty insider as well, like....getting to buy products before it's released to the public!

So, I got 15% off and because I went through EBATES I got 4% cash back!
Almost 20% off!
 I don't know about you, but 20% off sounds a lot better than 15% off. Maybe not the biggest difference to you big ballers out there but every little bit counts !

So, SIGN UP ! SIGN UP! SIGN UP!


XOXO,

I received a package from John at misikko.com who sent me this lovely package! It was definitely love at first sight :)

UPDATE:So where the heck have I been? Well I've been sick, for one. And two, well I've given up shopping for lent. If you don't know what lent is, it is a time for when Christians offer up sacrafice for 40 days to commemorate Jesus' suffering in the desert for 40 days! But unfortunately, it's definitely been a tough journey to not shop, can't say that I've been TOO good at keeping my lent! I will have more videos posted soon :)

QUESTION: When are you gonna start making YouTube Vids!?

Well kids, I really don't know. I've thought about it but I'm not sure if "vlogging" would be the thing for me but maybe I'll give it a try one of these days, just don't hold your breath!
