HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!! It's 2012!!

Well, not yet but in a few hours it will be. Aren't ya all excited?!

So much has happened in 2011 that it is totally unbelievable that the year has come to an end. It came so quick and left in a dash. But that's how life is, things come and go even when you don't realise it. 2011 has been great and too end it off, 

Here are some simple tips for you to make your look work on New years Eve:

1. Prime, Prime, Prime especially your eyelids

    - it avoids any creasing or blotches on your eye

    - plus, it enhances your eyeshadow 

2. Do not skip or skimp on foundation as it will give you a flawless complexion  to look fabulous throughout the night

   - I suggest using your favorite foundation or something your comfortable with as you wouldn't want to try something unfamiliar to your face when you want to look your best

3. Apply powder for extra staying power

    - Powder lightly to avoid looking too cakey on the face

    - Use compact or loose powder, whichever your comfortable with

4. Be bold and loud this NYE by having you Lips accented with reds, pinks or even orange

    - Line your lip for a clean and finish look

    - Finish with a lil bit of gloss or not for a matte finish 

5. Try Faux lashes 

    - They make your eyes appear larger 

    - And give them a pop of brightness

    - Don't forget to finish with mascara 

  

6. And Finally, a touch of bronzer to warmify you look giving the final accents of the evening

With all this in place, you are guaranteed to look fab and picture ready throughout the last hours of 2011, greeting 2012

with a bang!

I hope you like it and have a blast!

2011, will be missed!

Hair & Beauty: Ombre Hair.

                                                                                                                                            Author: Hanna

Ombre hair is when the ends of your hair graduate to another colour, usually lighter and blonder. It is one of this year's hottest trends and the word ombre is basically French for shadow. 


It took me a while to actually attempt it as I was not a ballsy as I thought I was. However, after watching most of the DIY tutorials on youtube and much support, I decided to go for it! What could go wrong right? And even if it does, just dye it back.


It was a long and tedious process for me but it I must say it'd payed off.


I did my ombre highlights in 3 easy steps in 3 days. A step a day. 


Why? Because I didn't want to dry out in my hair especially the ends by over dying it in a day. You could however, do it all in a day at the same time if you want. There's no harm in it.


So lets get to it.


Firstly, I darken my hair with Loreal's Colour Intense in Dark Chocolate to start with a dark base.

Dark Chocolate.

Secondly, I bleached the bottom half of my hair using:

Gatsby Ex-Hi Bleach

Which turn out like this:

yes, it was on fire!

Finally, I softened that fire area with:

Revlon's Colour Silk in 74

And there it is, you ombre hair

Ombre Hair!

Style as desire and you're ready to rock out that hair! 

Its really easy to do and you could adjust the variation of your highlights as you like it to be. Be experimental and you'll achieved your desired result.


It's fun and cheap and also a good way to look fabulous on Christmas and New Year. 
Try it! :)

Hope you like it!
