Greasy Hair : Part Two



Part one: http://standstill-and-lookpretty.blogspot.ca/2012/05/greasy-hair.html



Hey Guys,
I've learned more about how to fix greasy hair and this time, I've finally found my solution. 

The Magical Can: Dry Shampoo is a life saver, by spraying the product in your hair it absorbs the grease in your hair leaving it 10x less greasy. Based on how bad the grease build up, depends on how much you need to spray. Normal hair types only need about one powerful spray all around the head while naturally greasy hair could take a longer and a couple rounds of spray. 

Handfuls of shampoo: Here is where I fixed my grease problem, the trick is if you have thick greasy hair, you should apply a handful of shampoo. (Since my hair is very greasy at the crown of my head, I use a balancing shampoo which makes a medium from my greasy roots to my dry ends) The trick is to make it sud. A creamy shampoo will have 10x less sud quality than a clear one, which when you have greasy hair, you should have a CLEAR shampoo. Rinse then repeat the same steps, when getting out of the shower either towel dry/blow dry.

PRODUCTS:
Dry Shampoo I use: Batiste Dry Shampoo.














The Shampoo I use: 

Matrix Biolage Scalptherapie - Normalizing Shampoo

BOHO CHIC

 



Oh Vanessa, She's been spotted at many music festivales with many different cuties: such as Zac Efron, Josh Hutcherson and Austin Butler. But it's not the cuties I'm look at, for right now anyways but her amazing style! Her boho-hippie style is booming and more and more teenagers are dressing like this, do I have a problem with it? NO WAY! This trend is amazing and I hope it lasts! High wasted shorts, hemp and floral tops with layers of bracelets and rings? YES PLEASE! I've always been a fan of Vanessa and 9/10 I love her outfits but these past few months I just want to steal her clothes! 


How to achieve this look:
Your chose of high wasted shorts, they can be any type of wash or color. If you have the figure for it, pull out a floral crop top, if not rock a beautiful flowey floral top. Your shoes can be flip flops to cowboy boots. Pile on your favoirte "boho" bracelets and arm cuff like Vanessa sported in both of these photos, Add a necklas or too and chose between round glasses or face jewlery, and if you really want to go all out stick a flower or feathers in your hair! Now you have that beautiful Vanessa Hudgens boho style.





How to achieve this look:
Put on your favorite pair of cow boy boots girls! They can be on the pricey side so you can check out your Grandpas closets, or if you're older you may have your own pair from when they were in style. Vanessa has a pink dress with a deep V cut and a slant with white lace. You can make your own like this, any flowey asymetrical dress will do. Again pile on the bracelets, rings and necklases toped with a boho floppy hat

VANESSA WORE ALL THESE LOOKS TO COACHELLA  FOR MORE INFORMATION ON COACHELLA VISIT THERE WEBSITE: http://www.coachella.com/

Saving for an iPhone, since my contract is locked, it will cost me around 700$. At the moment I have 50, with no job :( sucks. But my birthday is coming up so if you know me...cash would be nice ;). Its my 16 and my parents are already out of the bid because they are giving me my laptop this year, so it looks like I, for the very first time ever might need to..get a job! as if school isn't enough, i have no idea how people can balance the two, you guys are my heros! Anyways, if you would like to donate to the "LAUREN NEEDS AN IPHONE FOUNDATION" you can email me at sun-dried-love@hotmail.com haha!

Makeup Brushes


Makeup brushes.

An essential in every girl/woman's makeup bag. You can't apply your blush or face powder with your hands, or your eyeshadow with a q-tip if you wan't that natural and airbrushed look. Sure, MAC brushes can be pricey but there are many other brands you can buy from including my personal fav EcoTools which are eco friendly and do a wonderful job, you can buy them in them almost anywhere, Walmarts and if you live in the states (which I sadly don't) Target!  

Each brush has a different job just like each tool has a different job. There are blush brushes, Foundations brushes, Concelear brushes, Eyeshadow fluffy brushes, Eyeshadow straight brushes, Angled brushes and the list goes on but the starting brushes everyone should have are the Powder Brush, it can alternate from powder to blush (just make sure you get the blush color out before you dust it all over your face!), a foundation brush which can double as a concelear brush, a fluffy eyeshadow brush for color for the whole lid and to blend plus an angled brush for eyeshadow to be used as liner or defined in edges such as a bright white. 

But the only rule with makeup brushes is TOO CLEAN THEM!
The amount of makeup that can get trapped on those brushes is fine but letting it build can make the brushes become nasty and smell gross, its also much more hygenic to have a clean brush on your face as often as you possibly can. Foundation brushes should be cleaned as often as possible depending on how much you use, if you apply a bit here and there you should be fine with washing them 1 time a week but if you cake a whole face on you should wash them once a day or every other day. 

Heres a video to show you how:


This video was made by Kayla! Her youtube is www.youtube.com/user/akaydoll

Makeup brushes can be anywhere from 5$-50$ so whatever your willing to spend should about do it. 

Stay Clean & Beautiful!
