Finishing touches: Hair Crystals


I’ve forgot to post this finishing touch of the day, in the resonance of the holidays. I mean, I used it for the holidays (nye), but in fact, you can use it for every occasion you want.  Only, it will lose it’s effect behind my study desk…
After numerous crystals to decorate your eyes, body, nails and even teeth,  SPOTTED: the hair crystals. 
I've found them in ‘Kruidvat’ for only €1,79 but I suppose you can get them in a lot of drugstores.  
As I mentioned I have this glitz&glam-phobia, this is quite a good new gadget to optimize my obsession.


This is how we do it:
1 Take your pair of crystals. 
2 Cut off a strip with a pair of scissors. (If you have long hair, you might need more strips for one lock of hair.) 
3 Pick a lock of hair from a place that you want. (I chose a piece just behind my ear.) 
4 Remove the white film and paste it in your well-held-together lock of hair. 
5 Heat up the straightener and hold on about 5 second/crystal, and glide along one time. 
6 Remove the plastic foil & tadaaaaa.


 


As I said, you can choose a place where you want, but don’t pick the wrong one… You don’t want to look like the Barbie from a child who just came back from the hairdressers, will you? (and by that I mean a lot of crystals in your pony or something) Just keep it subtle & natural.

Most of the hair crystals will stay in for a couple of weeks, the edition I used is less promising I think, although I had to scrape them away when I washed my hair. 

Like it? You can find some crystals over here and here
Keep me posted about your expiriences with it!

finishing touches: make-up and hair-do

Hello, 

After a heavy weekend (party-ing), I lie down again @ my bed, bit of blogging.. Friday night, straight after work, I went to a small party in the neighborhood (in my working clothes: shame!). It waz the first time I went out with just a pair of jeans and a black shirt. Luckily 4 my ego, I went saturday to another party (I've to shake off the job jitters, no?!), so I could spruce myself a lil bit... To spruce is maybe a bad expression, because I live in a small vicinity, so there are a lot of little parties in the different villages, so I don't dress like in discotheques or chic events ;).
So when I go out, my make-up and hair is rather routinely, most of the time I use the same products; which I am about to show you. (I'm sorry 4 the bad quality of the pictures, itz bad light or something.)
Oh; I'm posting also a applicable song...

Finishing touches: Kiss Kiss Hibiskiss ft pins and needles

Aloha!

Another sparkling day with sunshine and formulas is over. Still learning; over and over again. But between graphs and definitions, I've found some time for a bit final touches @ my look.

I've tried out my new lipstick; I'm certainly in love. 
It's got also a well found cool name: Kiss Kiss Hibiskiss. A natural mix of a bright pink colour.
Beside the lips I've made quickly a ponytail à la Blake Lively (one of my dear inspirations), and I've decorated it with a pin of spikes.

Hope you like it! xo
