Pulled back curly updo

Hi guys!! So here is another updo I did on my sister (again). We have a party to go to in a few weeks and she wanted me to give her a pulled back updo kind of Selena Gomez inspired. I have a picture below that you can check out. My sister is completely obsessed with Selena and even bought the exact same dress in the picture below!!! lol Anywhoo, let me know if you like the updo!

PS - Please don't mind my sister blowing her nose in the pictures! (How unattractive)! LOL

 

Hair updo - Weddings, parties or special occasions

Other than make-up, I've been trying to get into doing some hair updos as well. I have a friend who is absolutely AMAZING at doing hair EVERYTHING! She has the most gorgeous updos and get this....she didn't even go to school for it!!! I know! If you wanna check out her stuff, she's got a Youtube Channel called "cheveuxn0ir". (the "o" in noir being a zero, btw) She's seriously talented and completely inspires me with her beautiful updos. Anywhoo, I forced my little sister to sit in my makeup chair today so I could do her hair. I've been practicing for the heck of it because I find it soo darn fun! I'm pretty new to this and so please bare with me as I "attempt" to do future updos! Let me know what you guys think!?

PS,

The flower is optional! =D

Elegant Christmas hair updo

So this is my first blog entry about hair. It's definitely not a tutorial as you can see, I don't ever do any sort of tutorials! I was bored and wanted to practice updos so I asked my cousin Panou to come over for me to do her hair! She's got super long layerd mermaid hair which I LOVE! lol Anywhoo, these are the pics of the updo. You can definitely wear this hairdo for weddings or parties or even for the holiday! Enjoy!

And if anyone is wondering, I bought the hairpiece at ALDO's Accessories for about $12!

BaByliss Pro TT Tourmaline 500 Marcel 1" Curling Iron

Hey guys! So while I was in MI I also hit a TJ Maxx where I found this BaByliss Pro curling iron. Immediately grabbed it because we all know Babyliss isn't exactly cheap but is extremely good! It was the last one too so I really didn't hesitate to buy it. This curling iron's original price is approximately $149.95 US dollars. I got this one for $14.99!!!!! I know the tag says $34.00 but on the internet it goes for about $149. I couldn't believe my luck because I've been wanting to purchase a BaByliss curling iron from BeautyChoice.com for a while now.

Here are the curling iron's features:

• Tourmaline/ceramic barrel easily creates silky, smooth curls
• Tourmaline is a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat
• Tourmaline – pure precious gem stone crystals
• Negative ions eliminate frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth, shiny hair
• Far infrared heat penetrates hair from within, resulting in faster styling with less damage
• Fast heat, accurate heat with Instant heat recovery
• 40 heat settings
• Push-in/pop-out dial! Press once and the dial pops out to easily adjust the temperature. Press again to lock-in the dial and prevent accidental changes
• 9’ swivel cord
• Slim rubberized handle
• One iron for all hair types: from fragile, thin hair to wavy, thick hair
• 50 month warranty
• Available sizes: 5/8” (A8614-M), ¾” (A8614-S), 1” (A8614-L), 1 ¼” (A8614-XL) 

The only con about this iron is the handle. I'm not sure if I understand why the clip of the iron is the way it is but it doesn't have a spring. If anyone can tell me the purpose of this, that would be great because I've just been using this iron without the clip and wrapping my hair around the barrel instead. I love the turn out of that method though. The curls come out some much more even. Check out the picture of my hair curled with this iron!

 So if anyone is looking for a good but cheap iron! Check out TJ Maxx!
