Big Hot Roller Curls!

Jilbere Ceramic 20 Roller Setter


This is my exact hot roller set. It comes with twenty rollers ( 8 Large, 6 Medium, and 6 Small), 12 clips, and 12 metal clips. It heats up in three minutes. I picked this up from Sally's beauty supply. I love hot rollers. You can get so many different styles based on where you place the rollers or what size you use! Also it is better for your hair, and it doesn't cause heat damage. I will set my hair in the rollers and do my makeup or chores around the house. It is so simple.
Haha, so it isn't so beautiful at first, but in the end it will be worth it! Please excuse the Hello Kitty bath towel as well. I started by using the eight largest rollers on the top of my head. Then I used the medium rollers in the second row. Near the nape of my neck I used the smallest rollers. Then after twenty minutes I let them down and use hairspray for some extra hold.
Yay for beautiful curls!

Outfit of the Day: Classy!

I really love this outfit. I feel like it makes my petite legs appear so much longer. I also like to wear my skirts above the waist. It gives me a curvier look.

I picked up the flowy, flower skirt from Forever21 and the beaded necklace as well. The belt came with the skirt. The two flowers on the necklace can be moved or even used as hair pins! The white v-neck shirt just came from Target. I like to get my basic tanks and shirts cheap. 

I love pointed toe shoes. They make your legs appear longer, and I'm so petite a little heel doesn't hurt either! I got an amazing deal on these from Kohls.

Contouring: Before and After Pics!

With all of my makeup tricks, contouring is the newest to me. I used to think I was to pale to use a bronzer, and I would look orange. Now I know that isn't the case, and I am addicted to contouring.
This picture explains why:
I look so sad in the before picture HA.
I don't use much so it isn't a huge difference, but it thins out my face. I have a some big cheeks and a round nose. I'm not complaining about looks, but I love my slim face after contouring. Here is how I do it!
The picture explains it all!

Nose:
Starting a little below my eyebrow, I take my bronzer brush and swipe down the sides of the bridge of my nose. Then I blend and blend so it doesn't look like I have racing stripes down my nose. Then I finish it off by using my brush down the sides of my nostrils. It is amazing how much it can slim the nose. It definitely makes mine less round!

Cheeks:
First, you need to find the hollow of your cheek. Feel your cheeks, and find where the cheek bone sticks out. Right under that is the hollow where you need to contour. Starting from my hair line I take my brush and blend across my face. When I blend I brush down toward my jawline. Then like magic your cheek bones pop, and your face slims up!

Forehead:
This is to give the illusion of a smaller forehead. I just blend under my temples only along the hair line.

Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen!

I have already said I don't have the patience for detailed nail designs, but I love the way they look. I am always trying to find a way to achieve detailed nails with almost no time spent doing it. The other day a friend picked up the Sally Hansen nail art pen, and I wanted to give it a try! I love it! It is just like using a freaking sharpie. The pen comes to a point and you just draw the design on your nails. It makes clean lines! When I first used it I was afraid the polish was going to rush out of the tip, but it worked just like a marker. It also surprised me that it dries super fast. All you need is a clear coat over it and your ready to go!
Yay for more easy ways to make nail designs!!!!
This is a pic from my first time using the pen. More of my love for bows!

Candy Makeup: Bubble Gum!



Another candy look that is very wearable. I already did chocolate. This is just a fun mix of pinks and blues! I love pink on fair skin, and the blue did wonders for my eyes! Anybody have any ideas for a fun, wearable candy look?

I love a laid back look that says, "Hey, I didn't even have to try!" This is my version of casual style. I hope it inspires you to create your own look!
