Fall 2011 Beauty Trend Series: Red Lips // Announcement!

Hey everyone! How's everybody doing? Hope y'all are having a great time.

Well, summer has almost come t0 an end and Fall is approaching.

What better color is there to describe fall but RED.

And this post is about FALL 2011 BEAUTY TRENDS: RED LIPS, the first of a series for this topic.

Red Lips can be seen in catwalks and runways and here, I will show you different shades of red lipstick you can sport this autumn.

1. Brick Red: a deep shade of red from the 32 lip palette

2. Tangerine Red: a bright shade which is a mix of orange and red still from the 32 lip palette.

3. Cranberry Red: a sort of plain matte deep red and lipstick used is from Avon Lipstick in Crushed Cranberry.

4. True Red: This red is really gorgeous. So pigmented and glossy. Lip cream used is from Ever Bilena Smooth Lips in Timeless Ruby.

5. Matte Scarlet Red: My favourite. a long lasting, non smudge matte bright red still from Ever Bilena matte lipstick in Scarlet.

Bold lips are best paired with nude eyes. This is to maintain the lips as the center of attraction.

This Fall 2011, as will be posted next, strong thick brows, nude eyes and spider lashes are the fab.

Amy Winehouse Inspired Make up Look

The sudden loss of Amy Winehouse was a great shock to many, especially her fans. She was indeed a talent to be missed. In remembrance of her, I have created my version of her beehive hair and eyeliner trademark.

I am also happy to say that creation of this look was in collaboration with MakeupBySandeeTV, a YT guru as well.

Check out her video HERE.

Flat Iron Superpowers!

Sorry I have not updated my blog lately. Anyhoo, here's how I use my flat iron. Actually, it shouldn't be called a flat or straightening iron, because it does not only straighten but also CURL, WAVE, and CRIMP!

I own a JML Proceramic Straightening Iron. Here's how it looks like. Image is borrowed from google images since I already lost the box of my flat iron.

It was 1,499php at SM Baguio. It has ceramic plates and when you break the plates, you can return it back for repair but of course would cost you some additional expenses for replacement parts.

Ceramic irons are far better than traditional irons because it is less likely to cause heat damage to hair. Also, it heats fast and evenly distributes heat. Thus, saving you time. However, frequent use of heating appliance can damage hair. But, it can prevented with proper hair care. Ie, use of heat protectant before using a heat appliance, hair treatments like conditioner, spa,etc.

Now, flat irons can be used in multiple ways not just for straightening hair but, also curling, waving and crimping.

1. STRAIGHTENING

Here is a video on how I use my flat iron to straighten my hair.

2. CURLING

JML flat iron has slim plates and a rounded barrel. With this shape, you can create fabuolous curls. You can have the control to create loose waves or tighter curls. As opposed to flat iron with wide flat barrels like a paddle, you can only make waves but might be hard for tighter curls.

Watch my video below on how I curl my hair with a flat iron. Technique inspiration is form Rose Russo of Rosebud143.

3. CRIMPING

Crimped hair are also a fab and you can achieve them with a flat iron. No crimping tool needed.

All you have to do is sway back and forth your flat iron on a bunch of hair. as you go down to the tip. This will create zigzag shapes. (Video will be up soon.)

Below is a photo of crimped hair from google.

4. BEACH WAVES/LOOSE WAVES

Beach waves are softer curls. And with a flat iron, you can achieve them without a curling iron.

Below is another photo sample. (Video soon.)

With a flat iron, no curling iron, crimper, or remmington blower needed. for different styles. You can achieve many different styles with just a flat iron. What a thrift!

Hope you this blog was helpful.
