Another Hair Failure...

Beauty Lovers!!

I watched another heatless wave tutorial... and decided to try it out. I'll tell you how I did it in steps... however, it didn't work out the best for me which makes me so sad. My hair texture has changed again. It's slightly annoying. I've never head relatively straight hair since I was in kindergarten or so. But now my hair is straight... what do I do?

The first thing you need to do is wash your hair.

Then add a heat protectant into your hair. Hush your brain before you say it. "Stacey, a heat protectant? I thought this was supposed to be heatless."

Next I blow dried my hair with cool air with random shots of warm air to make it go a bit faster.

Then I split my hair into two different pony tails, and twisted my hair into two buns. Bobby pin the buns and spray some hairspray on them.

 Lastly go to sleep!

When you wake up you're supposed to have lovely, beach-like waves. Mine on the other hand, turned out like this...
'

It could have been fine... but my hair is so thick and course that I feel like it got all weird on me. I don't think it looks awful, but it definitely doesn't look nice either.

Try it out and see if it works out for you? Or tell me how I can make it work for me? Please?

Tweezerman Eyelash Curler

For all my makeup life, I've always heard and been told that your eyelash curler doesn't matter, as long as you have one, you're good. I have always purchased the cheap Revlon ones and never thought anything of it. I just thought it was my eyelashes or my mascara that was making it so my eyelashes wouldn't stay curled. Boy was I wrong. The only other YouTube beauty guru that I have watched that has said your eyelash curler makes a difference was amarixe and I didn't believe her...until now.

I have straight as a board eyelashes. So straight in fact, that throughout high school I would blow dry my eyelash curler and then curl my eyelashes to hopefully make them stay. Some days they turned out crazy spidery looking, other days they looked fine. I was at work the other day, and I asked my coworker who has beautifully curled eyelashes what she used. She said she used a Revlon one... I was perplexed... how in the world were her eyelashes looking so perfect and mine fell straight?

I had a couple Target gift cards lying around, and went searching to see if I could find a different eyelash curler that would curl these bad boys. I mosied around for quite sometime and then I stumbled across these $12 Tweezerman eyelash curlers. There were also a couple other only $9. A girl I was with told me to just get it. I was a bit worried, $12 for an eyelash curler? The Revlon ones were like $2... what could possibly be the difference?

The next day, I used this new eyelash curler, and holy curly eyelashes... This eyelash curler is a dream boat. If you have stick straight eyelashes I will 100% vouch for this eyelash curler. It is so unbelievably great.

On the left is my old, Revlon eyelash curler and on the right is the Tweezerman eyelash curler. 

 

Here is my proof to you. First is a picture of my naked eyelashes. The left side was curled with the Revlon eyelash curler while the right side was curled with the Tweezerman eyelash curler.

Now here are my eyelashes with one coat of mascara on them.

Lastly, here are my eyelashes with two coats of mascara on them.They both look alright here. but the kicker is the next one.

Lastly, Here are my eyelashes exactly one hour later. The Tweezerman side is still pretty perfectly curled, while the Revlon side is rather straight... and the more time that passes, the straighter these eyelashes got. Thank goodness I found the Tweezerman eyelash curler!

If you have crazy, super straight eyelashes, let me know what your favorite eyelash curler is? Have any of you eyelash obsessives noticed a difference in how your eyelashes look when curled by different eyelash curlers? Is there a less expensive alternative? Tell me your thoughts!

Miley Cyrus/Punk Inspired Look

Hello Beauty Lovers!


If any of you love Miley Cyrus and her complete off-the-wall new attitude like I do. You might love this video that I have for you today. I realize Miley Cyrus is a pretty controversial subject since one day she was Hannah Montana and now shes party central, but hey, I love the new crazy Miley. Bring it on! I tried out the look shes been doing recently with dark eyes and red lips, but you could also swap it out for a super nude lip for she does that as well. I also tried out her hair. I gave myself a mohawk. No worries, I didn't shave off all my hair, just used my hair to my advantage. 

I hope you enjoy this wildly punk look! Comment below and tell me if you try out the makeup or the hair, or what you would do to make it more wearable for you?

Natural Everyday Eye Using Pink

Hi loves!

Recently I've been playing around with my collection a bit more than usual when I get ready for work and such. I've been going really natural on my eyes while I'm at work, and then when I want to kick it up a notch I just had some heavy winged liner to make it more night appropriate. But I wanted to show you what I've been loving. Here's what you're going to do...

Step one: Prime your eyes!













Step Two: Use a white shade all over your lid. I chose to use Virgin from the Naked 1

Step 3: Use a BRIGHT pink on a tapered crease brush and run it mostly through the outer half of your crease.

Step Four: Run a matte brown shadow through your crease and use it to blend the pink color out. This will tone the color down. I used Naked from the Naked 1.

Step 5: Curl your lashes and add mascara! DONE!

How easy was that?? I've been wearing this super natural eye look for awhile. I'm sure you were a bit worried when that bright pink shadow was going on. Look at how toned down it became though!

Here, I just added some thick eyeliner to take it from work to a night out...

Isn't makeup fun? I hope you enjoyed this. I really enjoyed making this blog post. If you try this look out, post a comment and maybe even a picture!

What's to Come?

As summer comes to a close, and I am officially finished with school, the question becomes now what? In the mean time of looking for my first big girl job, I will still be at my serving job. What in the world will I do with all my down time? I've always worked around 40 hours a week, along with taking 21 credit hours. I feel as though I have so much down time in my life now, that I quite literally have no idea what to do.

On this down time, I have come up with a few things that will potentially be helpful to keep me busy:

1. First thing is first, I have to start taking my dog on at least one  walk a day. I used to never take him on walks because he is the same size as me and has much more muscle than me. Too many times have I attempted to take him on walks, and it ended badly for me. Now he is in the recovery process of his first extremely painful pinched nerve that made him paralyzed, he has virtually no muscle in his front legs anymore. So I'm going to walk him once a day, until he builds up more muscle and then twice a day. Since he doesn't have as much muscle mass in his legs, it is making it a heck of a lot easier for me to retrain him on walks.

2. I want to start running. I know what you're thinking.."Stacey, come on, you tell us you want to work out every month and then never do it." This is serious though! My boyfriend and I are planning on running together. We are going to go out and purchase new running shoes and he is going to train me. I legitimately cannot run a mile. He however, can run like it's nothing. My sister is training to be in a half marathon right now, and she wakes up at 6 am EVERY MORNING before work and runs. She is so much more toned from her training and I'm jealous of her bod. If she can do it, I can, right? Also my boyfriend and I are taking a new turn when it comes to eating right. We are only keeping one unhealthy snack for ourselves in the house. If we eat it all, that is it until the next time we go grocery shopping. His is a bag of chips, mine is Oreos. NOM NOM. We are also trying to cook more at home, because we spend a ridiculous amount of money on fast food, or going out to eat...

3. More Video's and Blogs! With all this time on my hands, making videos and doing blogs should be a piece of cake right? If I just work in the mornings someday, then I have all night to blog and video. If I only work at night, then I can make videos and blog the first half of the day. It's perfect!! Once I get on a set schedule at work I can figure out all the details but I'm thinking two blog posts a week and two videos a week. But I think maybe it would be beneficial to have my blog posts different from my videos and still put up my videos on here as well. Or I can just do picture versions of my videos? I'm not really sure. But I definitely want to start getting more into it. One a week was hard enough on top of school and a job, but now I feel as though this should be super!!

These are my goals for the time being.. I hope I don't disappoint. I also hope that maybe I'll get some followers!
