10 weekend beauty ideas!!!

County Fair this weekend??? 10 weekend beauty tips that are perfect for this type of occasion.

1. Going at night time??? Play up the eye factor a bit and go with a darker liner and a bit of darker eye shadow to rejuvenate for the night.
2. While it may be warm out, it may get chilly as it gets later into the afternoon. Always have a cardi or hoodie with you (or keep it in a tote)
3. Smart hair is key. French braids, ponytails, and side braids keep hair out of the way while staying cool.
4. Don't opt for heels at the fair. You would be better off with some sneakers or flip flops.
5. Keep a water bottle with you (in a tote or something) at all times so you can stay hydrated in the sun.
6. Even if it is cloudy, sunscreen is required if you don't want to get skin cancer
7. Just like the annoying Target commercial says, "Denim, Converse one star shoes, Denim" Jeans, Denim jackets, denim shorts, are great for the fair. Converse, too.
8. Bright pink fingernails and a more subtle pink pedi is perfect for a local outing.
9. Can someone say boardwalk fries? I say messy. bring some mini Tide sticks in your purse so your not stuck with a ketchup stain all night.
10. Bad breath can lead to no one talking to you. Colgate Wisp mini brushes can solve that. Keep some in your purse and you'll be fine.

What type of person are you?

1. Check the month you were born in

January: You are very ahead on things, whether its school, or friends.

February: You are probably romantic, fun, and noble.

March: You are very lucky. Period

April: You are often sad, down, or blue

May: You are very popular, happy, comfortable in your own life.

June: You are carefree, high spirited, and love the sun

July: You are very strong and is more of a leader than a follower.

August: You are fierce and wild, but tame when controlled. 

September: You are fresh and cool, like a breeze.

October: You tend to like to freak people out or scare them.

November:You are shy and uncomfortable with people 1 on 1, but once you are in a big group you open up to the world.

December: You are very merry and have a good attitude about (a lot) of things.

2. Now see what season you were born in

Winter: Bittersweet

Spring: Sweet

Summer: Ripe

Fall: Semi Sweet

3. Now see what year you were born (98-01)

98: Mature, you know more than your friends do, you tend to tease them about it.

99: Edge of the milenium, you like to make things last longer than they do.

00: You were born in the start of an era. You can do anything!!!

01: Since you are the youngest in the pack, you tend to go with the flow.

Now combine them and see what happens....... viola!!!!

How to: Wear 2 eyeliner colors at once

I know it sounds crazy, but is it possible you could pair 2 eyeliner colors on 1 eye? I think so!

1. pair corresponding colors
ex. blue+mauve, brown+purple, black+blue, etc.
2. start with the lighter color on the top lash line
3. add the darker color slightly above the first color (this is tricky, so if it blends with the light color, thats OK)
4. blend colors together with an angle brush.

How to rock: skinny jeans

Here is a tip on how to rock skinny jeans

1. Start with a classic skinny jean

a. dark wash: wear a cute graphic tee (k-o-h-l-s!)(in a vibrant color) and pair with a classic pair of chucks or (grey or black) flats

b. pigmented: Bright jeans require bright colors. Say, you have green, try a yellow fitted long sleeve or blue polo (aeropostale is great for that) and funky sneaks to complete the effect

c. light wash: This is the time to dress it up. wear a vibrant blouse (or ruffly top) with a cardi and some heeled ankle booties or black chucks

d.black: Black dyed jeans? No prob. A white graphic tee is essential to go classy, with (slightly) heeled ankle booties or chucks

2. Accessorize. 

Dark wash: Classic (large) hoops should do and a couple friendship bracelets. Gor-Jus

Pigmented: Funky earrings (make sure they match) of your choice, a charm necklace, and a slinky chain for a bracelet

Light wash: Chandelier earrings (black or gold) with a statement necklace. Done. And... a red/pink scarf

Black: Colorful earrings of your choice, an abstract necklace (claires...) and a vibrant bracelet (h&m) OH! and don't forget the fedora.

3. Voila! Skinny jeans, rocked.
