Since it is so windy outside I can't stand wearing my hair down and have it blowing in my eyes and getting stuck in my lipgloss. I also have a tendancy to get ready at the last possible second and don't have the time to blowdry and straighten/curl my locks. To solve these dilemmas I have some go-to-do's that look super chic and are super quick and easy. The three magic words: braids, headbands, ponytails.
Braiding back your bangs keeps the shorts hairs out of your face and shows off your eyes. No need to strain your fingers trying to twist out a french braid a regular braid will look just as good. Braids also add some texture and appeal to the classic ponytail or bun. A few wispy strands add to the look.
I love the hippie style headband, though prefer to wear them right at the edge of my hairline (not mid forehead). There is nothing easier then throwing on a headband and they add just the right amount of glamour to your look. For a real low maintenance do, slip back a headband and throw the the rest in a ponytail, simple beauty.
Urban Outfitters has beautiful hair jewelry.
Ponytails are easy, practical and pretty. Whether you like them high, to the side, super sleek, or adorned with headbands they always look chic. Head outside confidently, knowing they your hair looks great and it won't be bothering you for a different style half way through your day.
I have many makeup bags filled to the brim with eye shadows, liners, powders, lipsticks, mascaras, you name it's in there. These bags are filled to the point where zippers become useless, which is very common for all bags and suitcases I own. With all this makeup you think I would walk out of the house every day dolled up to the nines, this is certainly not the case. I have a five (two if need be) minute makeup routine in which I only use the essentials; concealer, powder, blush, mascara, and my favorite lipstick. Since the rest of my look is subtle I like to really play up my lips. I switch between bright red and pink, and they never let me down. Once I swipe on the vibrant hue my face instantly lights up and transforms from boring and colorless to fresh and fun. The main players are Revlon's Strawberry Suede matte lipstick and their Just Bitten lip stain in Passion. If you don't like wearing lipstick, it is something you have to get use to, I definetly recommend trying lip stain. It stays on almost all day and it doesn't come off on your straw, napkin, boyfriend, etc.
