3 Hair Tips Every Girl Should Know

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Have you ever heard someone say, “I wish I knew then, what I know now.” Knowledge is truly everything and should not be taken for granted, especially when it comes to taking care of yourself. Keep hair healthy and gorgeous with these 3 tips!

1. Sulfate Free Shampoo- Not only are sulfate free shampoos more gentle on your tresses but they can possibly even clean your hair and scalp better. Some shampoos that cause tons of lather often contain a large amount of moisturizing products that can leave nasty build-up on your hair, the very opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. Gross!

2. Cool It Down- Once the shampoo and conditioning steps have been taken always, always, always rinse your hair with cold water. Cool water will seal the cuticle which add sleeker finish to your locks.

3. 10 Minute Rule- Before you blow dry, curl, roll, twist, braid or straighten your hair, you should aim to apply any protection or styling products 10 minutes before you begin your hair process. Doing so will give the products time to penetrate and absorb into strands so that you can derive the most benefits from said products.

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015February 3, 2015Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: Jojoba oil is great for your hair and can also be used to remove eye makeup which is perfect if you ever find that you are out of your regular remover. Some may shy away from using it, feeling as though it will not thoroughly remove tougher cosmetics such as hardened mascara. You will be surprised upon using this product to watch it gently break apart and abstract any eye makeup. To use, massage the jojoba oil with a cotton ball over the eye area then wash face as normal.

2015 Spring Beauty Look: Pixie Eyes

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015January 30, 2015Leave a Comment

If you love for your eyes to have some razzle and dazzle then this beauty look is just for you! The Anthony Vaccarello Spring 2015 Ready-to-Wear runway show had models showcasing really cool pixie eye makeup. Makeup artist, Tom Pecheux, dusted and sprinkled black glitter below the bottom lashes of the model’s eyes. The look served to mimic mascara or eyeliner that had been smudged due to lounging poolside, having been slept in or a late night on the town dancing the night away. The ending look is care-free but to us still looks more like perfection than a smudged hot mess.

Get the Look: Here are a few tips to keep in mind to make this pixie look your very own. Pecheux kept the skin under the eyes free of powder and product which allowed the skin’s natural oils to catch the glitter for true lasting power and a stronger effect.

What to Wear Spring 2015: Moroccan Flava

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 5, 2015January 30, 2015Leave a Comment

As the saying goes, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Avoid any fashion disaster moments this spring and prep those closets with the right couture. We loved the Nicholas K Spring 2015 Ready-To-Wear collection that’s inspiration was road tripping through Morocco. We were sold with the cargo pants (so comfortable) and gorgeous shawls but then the collection upped the ante with silk tops, side tied skirts (the 90s are back baby) as well as super cute knee length shorts.
