FIRST VIDEO TUTORIAL!

YAY! So excited to premiere my first official tutorial video! Give me your feedback!!

Best RED Hair Color!

I'm always in search for the next best thing...and that certainly applies when it comes to red hair color. I've had red hair for a little over a year now and have been almost every shade of red imaginable. For those of you that have gone red before, you will know it fades quickly. There's a lot of maintenance required,  but if you're up for the challenge, it's worth it. Red heads definitely have the MOST fun...

First off some of my favorite red colors are the following:

L'oreal Feria Power Reds R68 Ruby Rush

Manic Panic Vampire Red, Pillerbox & Wildfire

L'oreal Excellence HiColor in Red Fire

Wella 77/44...this cut and color was by Nadia at Tanas Salon...she's great!

and my new favorite!...Chi Ionic 6RR with Chi Infra High Lift in RR...the high lift is perfect for girls with dark hair that don't want to pre bleach!

 

The Chi color is so bright and fun...but be warned, it stains your skin and shower! EEK...

Red really has been the most fun of any color, and if you know me...you know I constantly change my hair...enjoy some photos of them below XO

 Just a few quick tips on keeping your red last longer...

Do not wash your hair every day. This will keep the color longer. Opt for a dry shampoo every other day.

When you do wash your hair, use COLD water. I know it sucks but the cold water helps to seal the hair cuticle!

I use a vegetable dye color like manic panic and use it with my shampoo once a week to add pigment/color to the hair in between colorings.

Most importantly...just have fun with it!

My Favorite Waterproof Makeup & How to Get Beach Hair!

Hello Cupcakes...don't ask...

I just got back in town from Georgia visiting my sister and nephew for the holiday weekend. We spent a couple of days by the pool so I broke out my poolside faves...I'd love to share with you!

No need for foundation, you won't find that in waterproof! Plus it just feels too heavy on those humid summer days...

I do love a little color on my cheeks though, otherwise I look like death.

Throw on a cheek stain like BeneTint

Or a cream blush that blends in naturally like Tart Cheek Stain (my favorite is dollface)

If you want a little pop of color on your eyes, I LOVE Stila's Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Liner, they don't budge! They come in beautiful colors as well...

My faves are Bora Bora & Electric

So pretty!!

Also Make Up For Ever makes great Aqua Liners that were actually tested on swimmers. They come in every color imaginable!

The number one beauty blunder I ALWAYS see is the girl with the raccoon eyes....Waterproof mascara ladies!

For a splurge I like Too Faced Lash Injection ($21)

Maybelline Great Lash is a good drug store brand in waterproof formula

For your lips try a stain...I like Revlon's Just Bitten, it comes in 15 colors and stays on great!

I also like a tinted lip balm. Burt's Bees is an absolute favorite. I like their Pomegranate one, it gives a natural color and feels so good!

I also love Palladio's Tinted Lip Balm in Orange

Now top this off with sexy beach waves and you're set for summer! A quick DIY beach spray...

Take an empty spray bottle and fill it with warm water. Mix in a tablespoon of salt and shake it up. Spray in your hair wet and let it air dry or spray it on dry hair for texture, it's beautiful!
