Eyelashes


There are many different eyelashes, such as long, short, thin, full, curly, and not curly. Mine are long, thin, and not curly. I have Indian eyelashes; they go straight down and are hard to curl. So, I found a way on Pinterest to make them look fuller and curl easier. After you apply your first coat of mascara put some baby powder on your eye lashes, then apply the rest of your coats. I do not use baby powder, but I do use my powder foundation. To curl your eyelashes heat up your eyelash curler with a hair dyer. Be careful, because the curler will be hot! The first time I tried it, I just bent my eyelashes. So, you don't have to hold the curler as long as you would if you didn't heat it up. All of these methods can be found on http://www.pinterest.com/ .

Winter

I'm so excited for winter! We girls get to wear boots and scarves. I love to wear boots; all of mine have heels on them, though. I'm short, so I need something to make me a little taller. The other day I wore all black with a smokey eye, pink lips, booties, and beach waves. The look was super adorable! I also love leopard print scarves; I just ordered myself one the other day. They look good with almost everything. I'm not a big fan of boots that go half way up your thigh...  I mean, yes, some girls can pull them off, but for me they just don't look cute. Like I said, I'm short so those things would go all the way up my leg.

Ombré or Cherry Coke Red?

       I've been stuck on deciding which hair color to go with;I love both hair colors. My natural hair color is black, dark black. Like I mentioned before, I donated my hair to "Locks Of Love" then dyed it brown with carmel highlights. My hair is finally growing back, and I'm ready to try one of these colors. I've ask my friends which one I should go with. One of my friends was a hairstylist, and she suggested I should go with the ombré because I won't ruin my hair completely.
       I know both of these looks will be expensive, but it's time for a change. It's my senior year, and I don't want short or black hair for my graduation.

Winged Eyeliner

I found this quote on Pinterest that said, “May the wings of your eyeliner always be uneven.” Oh my goodness, whoever wrote this made it specifically for me.  Honestly, the only time my eyeliner is even is when I’m just messing around with makeup. Or it’s even when I’m not going anywhere, like a “Sunday Funday” type of day.  My eyeliner isn’t dramatically uneven, but uneven nonetheless.

            I’ve looked all over Pinterest to help me make them look even. I tried to use a spoon and the “cat eye” method; nothing has worked too well for me. I need to invest in getting waterproof eyeliner, as well, because where I live it is very windy and as soon as the wind hits my face my eyes instantly water.  Then I’m stuck trying to fix my eyeliner again. Oh, the frustrations of being a girl.

Braids

I recently fell in love with braids. I’m on Pinterest all the time looking for different braids to try on a friend and myself. I love the braid that has three French braids on each side with a poof on top that is then pulled back into a pony. Also, there is a braid where you braid your bangs straight backwards and have loose beach waves. I try them all the time. They don’t always work out, but I will be posting the original pictures and my attempts at the hairstyle.
I found this really nice braid for workouts or just keeping your hair out of your way. I haven’t tried it on myself yet, but I have on a friend. She has way too much hair for me to handle, though. I will try it on myself later today. I will post a picture. It’s five braids braided together, if that makes since. You can find all of these braids at http://www.pinterest.com/

Long Hair Don't Care

       All over the internet there is people with gorgeous long hair, that I wish I could have. I had long hair at one point, it was almost long enough to reach my butt. In October I cut 14 inches off and donated it to "Locks of Love." After donating it, I decided I wanted to do something different. I looked on Pinterest and found a hair color of brown and carmel highlights, so I did it. I loved it at first, but after a month the carmel turned orange. Now I'm trying grow out my hair and dye it with an ombre or cherry coke red.
       I have been looking all over the internet for home remedies to make your hair grow faster. I found three ways that have been helpful. One remedy is to put Olive Oil in the microwave for ten seconds then apply to your hair and leave in for two hours. The second remedy is applying Coconut Oil in your hair and you can leave it in for 30 minutes at the least, or all night. The third remedy is applying Coconut Oil and 3 Eggs and leave it in for an hour or longer, and repeat once a week. 
      I find the third remedy to work the best for my hair. I have also been using Garnier Fructis Length and Strength, which is working very well. If you're trying to grow out your hair, I suggest you use 1 out 4 of these ways to help. Be patient, it takes a couple times before you notice the growth. I wasn't too patient, that's why I showed you more than one option. The remedies were all found on Pinterest. If you don't have a pinterest account, you're not living! Pinterest has everything, it's like google with pictures.
