Double Uses

Hey all! So today I wanted to take another route and do something a tad more fun! I want to show you this awesome make up artist Dope2111 on Youtube.  She is so creative and shows all of the different ways make up can change the way you look.  Her transformations are insane! Above she shows herself transforming into musicians Drake and Lorde just by using every day makeup! She has so many it was hard to choose! You should check her out!

Enjoy!

Pomp-ular! We Can't Forget about the Men!

Guys! This hair trend is so big for you all right now, the "faded pomp look"  Its classy, and very clean edged! Literally I think most everyone can wear a good barber fade, the pompadour comes in when the hair isn't too thick to part over like this picture above.  I know what your thinking, a comb over? NO! This is a new age cross over between styles from the past and fellas it is a hot cut to have right now!

On my professional hair instagram: http://instagram.com/hairbyashleyrenae785 I follow http://instagram.com/anthonythebarber916  He is so awesome at what he does and is always posting amazing cuts on his page.  You should check him out for the latest fades and cuts for men and even women!

sTUMBLed upon this

Hey All! So I was scrolling through my Tumblr this morning and ran across two Fashion Blogs that you really should check out! Everything from their fashion, photography down to their layout design on their blogs are so well thought out! Check these women out!

http://www.trendycurvy.com - Trendy Curvy I love her Fashion style.  This blog is geared towards plus size fashion but really what is plus size anymore anything over a size 8? Well I'd say thats about average is for most women to be seen as plus size these days.  Beyond that, her fashion is so cute and she lets you know exactly where you can get the same items! Most of all I love that she's not spending crazy amounts of money; the everyday girl can afford these pieces of clothing.

Her Blog is clean, easy to navigate through and just the right amount of information.

http://ravingsbyrae.com - Ravings by Rae, she has great style as well! I found her on Tumblr also just scrolling through reflagging things.  Her site is a tad more busy, but still very informative.  She also lets you know where you can find each item in her outfits, the only downfall is they aren't linked for easy access like the above blog, but still very cute and trendy! Once again her site is geared more towards plus size fashion but most of her fashion she cites can be found in multiple sizes, so if you like her outfits you can recreate it for yourself in your size!

41 Beauty Hacks All Girls Should Know About!

Ladies, you definitely need to stop by this article and check out these beauty hacks! Most of them are very useful for everyday life and money savers! Now we all know how I love ballin' on a budget! Click the link above "41 Beauty Hacks All Girls Should Know About!" and get to it!

Although I would not suggest things like #13 and #32 to do on your own (Leave it to your stylists!) I would say that there are some awesome tricks in this article!

Some of my favorites are;

#8- Heating your eyelash curler- Although I don't stick mine in my bra, I do however heat my eyelash curler up with my blowdryer (be careful it WILL BE HOT!) and I curl my lashes the same way holding it down counting to 10 seconds on my lashes 3x.  Doing this with heat will help your lashes stay curled throughout the day and make your eyes seem brighter, bigger, and more awake.  Just Picture is as your making it a mini curling iron for your lashes! Works perfect!

#22- Check your makeup when you get into your car.  Just by habit i do this every time I leave the house anyways, but it can make a huge difference in the way your makeup looks! The natural sun light will show you mistakes or unblended lines that your house lighting won't normally show.

#41- Cut open your foundation tubes to get the most out of your makeup.  This could be a budget saver all together whether you use something super expensive to a drugstore product its still going to save you money.  You will get the stuff that would have been on the sides of the bottle and get a little more wear before replacing.

Stay Beautiful! A.C.

Texture Teaser

This is one of my favorite new products! Kenra-Dry Texture spray.  Ladies, you know all of those beach wave photos where the girls hair just looks voluminous, sun kissed, and just has so much texture and wave?  Well THIS is the stuff that can help you achieve that look!

You just need to spray a medium amount (depending on how much hair you have thin or thick/ more for thick, less for thin hair)  run it through your hair and curl! It adds volume and just the right amount of texture.  This is not a dry shampoo but will give your hair life!

You can purchase these products from places such as Beauty Brands, or speak with your stylist about purchasing some for you if they do not sell it already out of their booth or salon!

So get your spray, your volume and texture, curl that hair and take some selfies! 

Stay Fabulous! -A.C.
