DIY: Hair Bun Maker + Short Hair Tutorial

Just because [we] have short hair, doesn't mean we can't rock a cute up-do, whether it's messy or slick and polished. Sure, we will need an extra amount of bobby pins in our hair but nonetheless, trust me an up-do is possible and easy! I've wanted to make this blog post for a while now for all my short hair ladies out there wanting to create an up-do, but thought it impossible, before now! What better time than around Valentine's Day, Prom, Wedding, and Graduation season!

For the bun maker all you need is a pair of tights OR socks (if they match your hair color even better), and scissor. That's it!

Now all you do is cut the foot of the tights/sock and start rolling it from that cut edge and just keep rolling until you finish! You will get a do-nut shape like this (below). Make sure the elastic is at the end because it will hold your bun together!

Now I couldn't show how to make a bun maker and not show how to actually use it and style your hair. So check out the video below for my bun making instructions in action and hair tutorial. So short hair ladies, you too can rock your hair in infinite ways! Love your hair, and happy crafting ♥

Beauty Quick Tip: Sexy Fuller Lips

Unfortunately, a lot of us gals are not blessed with Angelina Jolie's luscious signature lips. But that doesn't mean we cannot sport sexy, full lips of our own. Thanks to the magic of makeup, we can visually create a fuller pout ourselves, maybe not as big as Angelina's, but let's face it ladies any extra plumpness will help! Just follow the fast and simple tips below and pucker up!  

Fall Beauty Trend: Gold and Red

Now that it is finally starting to feel like fall, inspirations for this season are starting to emerge, not only in fashion but in makeup as well. The fall runway shows gave us an insider look on what trends to expect. The looks were very festive and bold. The dominant trends in the runway were gold! The models for Jason Wu, Donna Karen, Rodarte, J. Mendel, and BCBG Max Azria sparkled down the runway with vibrant gold eye. Another dominant trend was a bold red/burgundy lip. Designers like Carolina Herrerra, Peter Som, and Diane von Furstenberg were a few that showed off the bold lip trend. Many of you think that you cannot wear those looks but you can! Gold looks beautiful on every skin tone and a bold lip as well. The trick is finding the shade that works for you. On the video below I’m taking those daring looks from the runway, and transforming them into every day makeup looks. I have created two different looks using both trends that are very wearable and beautiful; a simple look for day and a smoky look for night and the holidays. Try it out, take a risk, and go bold!
