Hair Love: Bows


Hey everyone recently their has been a hair trend
that I have been loving.
Hair Bows.
I think they are super cute and add a girly 
touch to you locks.
I love how this style looks when the 
bow creates a nice contrast against the colour 
of your hair.
They can be used to secure a half up, half down 'do.
(that's my favourite look)
Or you can simply place it on the side of your hair.


What do you think of the bow trend?

Fall Fashion: Baroque


Hey everyone so this year fall fashion is taking 
some inspiration from the Baroque era. 
The looks of fall are being inspired from the royals of
many years ago.
We will be seeing a lot of embellishment,
with beading and chains and the colour gold in fall designs this year.
The Baroque style has already been seen on runways,
by some big name designers.
Balmain, Jason Wu and Dolce & Gabbana are 
just a few that have hopped on the the Baroque train.

 Here is a closer view of some Dolce & Gabbana 
Baroque Pieces.

Back To School: Shopping Tips


Hey everyone back to school shopping is one of my 
favourite times of the year.
Their is nothing better than to end your summer with
a shopping spree!!
Here are some tips to help you have the 
perfect wardrobe this year.

1. Stock up on essentials  
Things like V necks and cami's come in handy during the school year
2. Don't buy for the sake of buying 
Buy pieces you genuinely like or they wont be of any use to you
3. Expand your horizons
Try out different stores, styles, colours and trends you may be surprised
4. Versatility
Buy pieces that can be worn in multiple ways and outfits
5. Don't be afraid to splurge on classics
Don't worry about investing more money in a timeless piece 
Ex. a denim jacket or a good pair of jeans (they never go out of style)
6. Accessorize
Stock up on some jewelry, shoes and scarves 
7. Be trendy
A few trendy pieces will complete your wardrobe
8. Have Fun
 Be open minded, don't shop on an empty stomach and have fun

What are your shopping tips?

Makeup Starter Kit

 
Hey everyone this post will be for all you makeup 
beginners out their. Here are some suggestions of what 
you should have in your makeup starter bag.

1. Foundation or pressed powder 
(this is optional I suggest only if you really need it)
 2. Blush ( I suggest a neutral blush, it brightens up the face)
3. Eye primer ( it will help eyeshadow last all day)
4. Neutral eye shadow palette (colours can be worn with anything)
5. Brown eyeliner (black can be a bit harsh as a beginner)
6. Mascara (best way to update your look)
7. Lip gloss/lip balm (for moist lips)

These are the products that I would recommend for 
someone just starting off with makeup.
You can use the brands that you like best.
 All these things are available at drugstores for an affordable price.

What products did you have as a makeup beginner?

TAG: Products I Regret Buying

Hi everyone today I will be doing the Products I Regret Buying Tag.
These are all my personal opinions therefore,
you may find these products work for you.

Products

Marc Anthony strictly curls curl defining lotion
I regret buying this product because I hardly ever use it
and I hate the smell of it to me it smells like plastic lemons.

Clean and Clear invisible blemish treatment
In my opinion this product does not dry out any blemishes 
like it is supposed to, in fact it acctually made my
blemishes worse.

Revlon nail enamel in Zealous
I do not like the colour all that much and
the consistency is too thin and too sheer.

Misa nail lacquer in The grass is greener on my side
Now this colour I love, but the consistency of this
polish is way to thin and hard to work with,
 and it takes way to long to dry.

Maybelline color tattoo in Tough as Taupe.
I actually like this product, however I regret buy it in
this colour, it makes me look like a zombie with dark
circles around my eyes.
I was trying buy outside the box with this colour but it backfired.

Bonnebell eye definer in Hot Cocoa and Eggplant
These eyeliners are horrible they do not go on smoothly
at all therefore you have to be tugging at your eyelids
just to get a colour pay off.

These are the products that I regret buying
Which ones do you regret?

Review: Love and Beauty Shadow


Hey everyone I hope you are in enjoying this lovely Sunday
afternoon. Today's product in the spotlight for reviewing is...

 The Love and Beauty Eyeshadow Quad.
Love and Beauty is the Forever 21 beauty line.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by these eyeshadows.
They are super pigmented and come at a very reasonable 
price (less than $5)

This quad comes with a gold shadow (my personal fave)
A shimmery chocolate brown
A shimmery taupey colour
and a black.  
Their is a downfall though they are a tad too glittery and you can end up 
with a bit of glitter on your face.
I suggest tapping your brush off before you apply this product.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 
 Purchased at: Forever 21
Price: $ 4.80 CAD

Hair Love: Dip Dying

hair obsession and that is dip dying.
I love the look of dip dyed hair, its a fun way to 
colour and uplift your hair without 
having to die your whole head.
It great for the summer monthes when your looking for 
a colourful change that's not too dramatic.
Dip dying started becoming popular at the beginning
of the spring/summer seasons of 2012.
It has made a big imprint on social media 
sites like Tumblr and Pintrest.
Which are great for finding photo inspiration.
