One more time for a fall trend...

So I don't usually switch up my makeup... I tend to do the same makeup routine everyday. I was looking up some fall makeup trends for the fall so I can try and switch it up a bit. Like I've said before trying something new is good. Obviously getting into the colder months makes for darker makeup styles. Some of the main trends that is trying to be caught on is metallic makeup, classic red lips, & big lashes.

A Little Something for the Guys...

Okay so I know my first few posts were all about the girls but I figured I'll throw something manly in. I'm sure all you guys smell great but I looked up some of the top colognes that are in right now. According to AskMen.com, "the big cologne trend of 2011 is a return to warm, earthy base notes with sophisticated floral top notes." So here they are...

&& Fall begins...

Fall is already here and the weather is beginning to change... (even though we can't really tell here in FL). This is when all the bright summer colors become replaced with neutral, cool, warm, earthy autumn colors. These autumn colors usually consist of greens, blues, purples, yellows, grays, and browns. Well, nail polish is a great way to express your style and compliments an outfit nicely... here's a few fall nail polish colors that you can try out.

Starting Off Fresh...

Hey everyone!! I'm starting my new blog off with a fresh start. I'd like to provide small tips and ideas with you about hair, cosmetics, and nails. Wish me luck & I hope you find this helpful.

*Braids(aka Plait)

Braids are a fun way to change up the style of your hair. Instead of just throwing your hair up or keeping it down everyday... try and throw in a braid or two for a little bit of style. I'm sure we've all had a braid in our hair as a child, but I can assure you that your braid doesn't need to look like you are back in elementary school. There are many different ways to style a braid to make it look classy and fun. We usually use a traditional 3 structure braid while instead we can throw the braid to the side or have it cascade down beautifully... sometimes ribbons can be added into the design for a change.
