Tie it Up with a Bow

Every since I lied my eye on this hair bow made of actual HAIR, I fell in love. Although my style isn't as out there as Ms. Gaga's, I still wanted to try this cute hair trick. So I toned it down a bit and went with a smaller bow. 

For this you will need: 

                                                      (small rubberbands preferably clear ) 

                                     (Bobby Pins I went with blonde since I have blonde hair)

            (Lastly Hairspray. I prefer Got2b Glued Freeze Spray because the hold is Amazing!)


I wanted my bow to be off to the side so I decided to do a rope braid to put the hair to the side. To do this I just parted my hair into the section I wanted to make into the bow, then I took two pieces of hair and began twisting them adding more to each side as i went along the hair line (like a french braid). After I finished that I made one loop (See below). 

Then I proceeded to make twist the rubberband to secure the loop and then pulled majority of remaining hair through to recreate another loop.

There will be a little tail left over, which I prefer to wrap around the center of the bow. Then you pin the loops down with bobbypins. 

After you pin them down, spread the hairs in each loop to fluff out the bow. After you have fixed your bow to your preference then use the hairspray to keep the bow in place and style the rest of your hair as desired.

So there you have it ladies! Let out your inner Gaga and rock this hair bow with confidence.

Poppin' Pout

Bright colors like pink and orange covered lips are all the rage this summer. I was beyond ecstatic when I found the two perfect shades for me. Both shades are from the Revlon Moondrops Lipstick line; the lighter of the two is Blase Apricot and the other is Hot Coral. Both shades are available are drugstore for $8.30. I fell in love with this lipstick the moment I put it on. Application is smooth and it feels as if you're lips are naked. I found myself reapplying after a few hours but that also could because I'm used to reapplying my chapstick. Also while wearing the Blase Apricot shade I was complimented numerous times and asked what the name of the shade was. I absolutely love this lipstick and would recommend it for any girl looking for a bright hue to wear on these hot summer days.

Bottom Line!

I've been dying to get that vintage cat-eye seen on pinup girls decades ago, but unfortunately my liquid liner couldn't get the job done. Here recently I decided I wanted to try out gel eyeliners since my best friend used them and I've seen them all over youtube. Earlier this week I was shopping at CVS and remembered I wanted to try the gel eyeliners. I didn't know much about them so picking one seemed difficult. I picked up a product and was ready to purchase it when I seen the Physicians Formula Gel Creamliners. Without another thought I put down the other product and bought the PF brand. I would say this was a no-brainer seeing how I've never been disappointed with one of their products and I got 3 liners for the price of one from another brand. Like their shadows (also to die for) these liners come in shades to enhance your eye color whether it's brown, green, hazel, or blue. At first I was unaware that the eyeliners contain glitter that also helps enhance yours eyes, which is a plus but it doesn't start to show until half way through. Having blue eyes I tried the blue set first and I've got to say it has left me quite satisfied. The application is so smooth and looks flawless. The set comes attached together but can easily be snapped apart like building blocks; this makes it super cute and fun! However, I wouldn't suggest using the brush that accompanies the product. It's really small and has round bristles, so I'd much rather use an angled eyeliner brush to get the vintage look I've been longing for. I would highly recommend this product or any product from Physicians Formula for that matter. I have no doubt in my mind that its the BEST drugstore brand out there. This specific product costs about $11 at most drugstores.

Butters, Lotions, & Oils, Oh My!

An at home trick to get the flawless silky smooth you've been dreaming of!

I swear I've found the eighth world wonder and it's all natural! About three months ago I started this new lotion regimen, and I have got to say it's answering my prayers. I first heard about this little beauty from a little video I on youtube from the user: TonyaTko. At the time I was searching for at home remedies for removing stretch marks and scars. Natural African Shea Butter and Olive Oil (I use extra virgin) are used to create this genius lotion. Of course this wonder is for sale in stores and online for i hefty price. However, being a college student, I for one don't have the money to purchase it. So while watching the video she tells us to get a great at home dup.  So for this you are going to need a bottle with an opening, african shea butter, and olive oil. First you fill 2/3 of the bottle with the shea butter. Afterward you fill the remaining of the bottle with the olive oil. At first the lotion will be separated but shaking it will allow it to mix nicely. It is best to use a loofa in the shower while exfoliating your skin. After you are all squeaky clean, pat dry and add the lotion on any part of your skin that you wish. It's best to run the lotion under warm water because as it sits, it solidifies. The warm water will help the lotion go on with ease. I've been using this for about three months and I can tell a huge difference in my skin. My scars are much lighter and my skin feels as smooth as a baby's bottom. Whether you are looking for a great organic moisturizer or you are trying to get rid of those unsightly scars this is the product for you.
