Wearing you hair on one side

I love this glamorous look. I do this often now and sometimes use clips to hold my hair on the side. It just gives a bit of glamour and edge to the normal everyday hair-down hairstyle. I often softly curl my hair too and use hairspray to hold in place.

See here how Selena Gomez exploits the trend:

And this is my attempt:

To do this I just gathered it to one side of my head and pinned it in place with bobby pins, i needed a fair few to keep in place. Let me know what you think!

Cotton Buds

Cotton Buds I find are a must have when applying makeup.

Quite often I find to completely cover my lashes in a good coating of mascara I end up smudging it onto the top lids of my eyes. Using a wetted cotton bud straight away can easily remove this smudging and ensure your mascara looks perfect! They are so cheap theres no excuse not to, especially in comparison to these mascara corrector pens out atm.

High ponytail

I have noticed that the high ponytail is in fashion this year. I think this is a great hairstyle and ever so easy. 1,2,3 and its done. I personally love Jessie J's ponytail at the 2012 grammy awards this year with the full fringe it's a very neat and sophisticated style. Really easy for work or when your hair just doesn't do what you want it to do.

Marylin Monroe

So I had a new haircut last week and I loved the way the lady blow-dried it! It reminded me of the old styles of Marilyn Monroe and Grace Kelly. So hence the name of this post.

I added red lipstick and brown eyeliner and wore a white skater dress to complete my look.

I would probably add a few more curls if I really wanted to replicate the Monroe look.

Hair bow

So I tried out this style as someone suggested to me it was super easy to do. And the verdict is: it is so simple and so cute. However I did have trouble with keeping it in place as I have layers in my hair and therefore it may be better suited to those with longer hair with less layers. Also a tip would be to first straighten the hair as it is much more manageable :)

There are some fantastic videos on youtube that you can follow.

Head scarves

I love head scarves! Today I wore a peach headscarf to work and felt it really jazzed up a boring style. I backcombed the top layer of my hair and pinned it back with bobby pins. I then wrapped around the headscarf, mine was only £1 from primark! It is a good way to keep your hair out of your face on a hot day :)

Plus it is a real easy 5 minute job!!

BUM Shorts!

Right I know this is supposed to be a hair and make-up blog but I just had to put this down somewhere.

 Bum Shorts have become the trend with us young people today, and yes I may sound like I am 50 years old when I am only 21 but seriously.... it is an appalling piece of attire! Can girls get anymore revealing! It especially makes me sick when I see 14 year old girls who have yet to grow hips sporting them!! (Prostetots?)

 Now I'm not saying they are inappropriate all the time as I may wear them with tights if I were going clubbing, not walking around the street at 12 midday!

Seriously girls, please take some pride in yourself!

Thanks :D
