Beachy Waves & A Pop of Color

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

The weather has been absolutely amazing! Warm & sunny- just the way I like it. I thought it would be appropriate to do a chill beachy wave look in my hair. I’ve read that sea salt spray is is a great way to help to get that beachy look so I decided to get a bottle. I did not have any luck  finding some at the stores and I did not want to buy a bottle online, pay shipping (yadda, yadda, yadda!). So I thought to myself-”why don’t you make your own sea salt spray?”

My homemade sea salt spray came out pretty well. I sprayed it on my hair before using my Revlon Barrel Waver…(such crazy looking  hair tool!!)

These were the results I got from this crazy looking thing-

I was quite happy with how my hair came out and I’m sure I will be wearing this hairstyle a lot in the coming months.

Along with this summery hairstyle, I thought it would be oh so appropriate to do a beachy theme on my eyes. There is only one palette that I use more than any other during the summer months and that’s the Urban Decay Get Baked Palette.

The beautiful gold and  bronze colors compliment the bright intense blue color, Flipside, quite nicely.  I must admit that  it took me a while to get used to the ever so vibrant, Flipside. This is the look I came up with:

If you would like my “recipe” for sea salt spray, comment below and let me know!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

My Latest Obsession: Urban Decay’s Get Baked Palette

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

getbaked

So, I got the Urban Decay Get Baked palette for my birthday and I LOVE it. The colors are so highly pigmented and perfect for summer. For $28.00, you get 4 beautiful colors, an eye liner & a mini size of their newest primer potion in Sin. I knew I would love these shadows; I’m partial to bronzey, golden colors so I knew this would be perfect for me. I was a bit nervous about the turquoise color, Flipside. I usually do not wear bright colored shadows but I played around with it and came up with the perfect way to wear Flipside. These eye shadows stayed on all day and didn’t crease. I swear by my UDPP (it even works perfectly with my drugstore brand e/s). I highly recommend that you try out this palette!
