Updo of the Day

Hi everyone! It's Monday, and my second to last class day of the semester. Just one more class tomorrow and I am finished! Except for final exams, of course. But I'm trying not to think about those.

I tried something new with my hair today and decided to share it with you all :)

Right side

Left side

Essentially what I did was separate the front bang sections of my hair from the rest, make a low bun with the back portion, then braid the front sections and pin around the bun! Super easy, and has stayed secure and sleek throughout the day despite my crazy mane of hair. 

I hope you all have wonderful weeks :)

Updo of the Day

Happy Saturday!

Today I was experimenting a little bit with my hair and decided to share the end result with you!

Not anything spectacular by any means, but it was easy and quick. Simply twirling the front bits of hair back and securing with a clip, then making a side braid. The bow accessory I used was from Forever 21, for around $4.00, I believe. I've had it for years and barely ever use it, and just unearthed it today and decided to show it off again!

I also had fun with my makeup today, on a side note. Going for light makeup today - 

Eyeshadow: RIMMEL London Quad Eyeshadow #018

Lipstick: REVLON ColorStay in Ultimate Suede

And now I'm off to enjoy my Saturday! I hope you are all having lovely weekends xx

My First RED LIPSTICK

Happy Thursday!

I just recently purchased Revlon's matte balm (not technically a lipstick, but hey, I'm counting it) and decided to share this excitement with you!

I put it on this morning before going downtown - about three or so hours ago - and the colour is still incredibly vibrant. It applies easily, almost like a marker would, with a pointed crayon-shaped tip. 

I bought mine for $9.99 at London Drugs

The shade I bought is Standout. The matte balm came in a variety of colours, from corals to bright pinks to deep plums. I'll definitely be expanding my selection!

Updo of the Day

Hello everyone!

So the hairstyle I'm going to share with you today is super easy and would most probably work on a variety of hair types, though I myself have wildly curly hair. It's really just a good way to get your hair out of your face, though in a slightly different way than the usual pinning the front bits back. So here you go!

Start with your hair all wild and free (I used second-day hair... please excuse the frizz and general unruly look it has) . This curly updo is a really great way to get that top-layer frizz tamed while still enjoying your hair free from a ponytail or bun.

Starting at your part, twist front sections of your hair back on either side and gather at the middle of the back of your head.

Take the two chunks of hair you just gathered and secure to your head with bobby pins. Then, twist the hair into a bun, pinning as you go.

And there you go! Very simple and easy half-up bun. Feel free to let me know below if you tried it and how it worked for you!

Hair-spirations

There are so many curly girls out there in tv shows and media, which I LOVE, since I myself am naturally curly-haired. So many hair trends right now are straight or wavy, and however much I pine after them (I find those styles so pretty!) I know it will probably be a while until I finally get the energy to try them out. So for now, I'm sticking with the curls.

One character I absolutely LOVE is Zoe from Firefly, mostly because she is so incredibly bad-ass. But also because of her fantastic head of hair.

She has got to be one of my favourite TV characters... just so amazing!

Plus, her and Wash are the cutest couple! As soon as I begun watching the show, I was a fan. The characters are all so interesting, and the story line makes you want to keep watching. It honestly is heartbreaking that there is only one season.

Anyway, back to hair.

Another one of my hair inspirations on TV is Annie from Being Human. Her hair is just so cute and bouncy and it makes me want to chop all of mine off!

Seeing all these curly haired heroines makes me extra happy with my own hair... sometimes my mane can be incredibly frustrating, but it does pay off eventually, with patience and good humour! To any curly girls out there: keep rocking those curls!

Until the next!
