Is it true what they say about girls and their hair changes? Do we really change our hair after break ups?  Well, not just for break ups, but when we want to feel brand new. Bring back that confidence we used to have before. To reinvent ourselves. Face it, our hair is a big important part of our lives. From curly to straight, black to blonde, short to long, there are endless possibilities that you can do with it. But when do we get those sudden urges to do dramatic differences to our hair? After break ups of course.

After my break up last year, I was dying for a change. Being that I'm trying to grow out my hair really long, why not go for a color change? I went from jet black to this beautiful color. It wasn't what I wanted, but it was the lightest I could go being that I do dye my hair often. 1 bleach and about 3-4 rinse bleaches later.... On top of the actual dyed color, this was what I came out with. It took literally 5-6 to get this. Although this color is a bit brighter than what it was the first time I straightened my hair. 

Dying my hair gave me back life. It made me feel so different and gorgeous. It really uplifted my spirits and I focused more on myself. In doing that, I came across my current boyfriend a few months later. Lets just say a few month after being with him, I went through another color change because I wanted to rid myself of what I did before to make myself feel better. Now I'm back to black. Well... dark brown with a red undertone because I accidentally dyed my hair black with blue tones. It was complete fail. 

Changing your hair can give you such confidence when going through hard times, not just a break up. Just remember, don't make any decisions while you are upset. If you're mad and you just want to cut your hair because of it, you may regret it the next day. Yes, it's good to make decisions to change your hair, but doing it while your upset can lead you to be even more upset. Think it through and what you would like to do while you're calm and relaxed. It will make you feel better and who knows.. you may just meet your prince charming after all. What dramatic hair changes have you made? Did you regret it? Leave a comment down below.

Make your own lipstick out of eyeshadow

Recently, Michelle Phan has put up a contest on her site. If you post a picture wearing orange lipstick to her site, you must be a member, you have the chance to win a Hello Kitty compact mirror signed by her! So I thought, why not try this contest out ya know? I didn't have any orange lipstick or lipgloss, so I decided to make my own.

To make it, this is what you need:

• Vaseline, lip gloss, or chapstick
• Eyeshadow color of your choice

I just used some of my EOS chapstick and an orange colored eyeshadow from my Coastal Scents 252 palette. I just scraped a little bit of chapstick and mixed it with some of the orange eyeshadow with a lip brush. I brushed this on my lips, then wet the lip brush and applied more shadow. It came out a little dark than the color, so then I used a shimmering orange shadow to brighten up the color more. This is what I came up with. 

I didn't want to make it more pigmented because it was my first time trying out orange lipstick and I didn't want it to be too crazy. It was pretty perfect and I really liked how it came out. My lips felt nice and conditioned and not dry at all. It look a little more matte and sheer than shiny and glossy if I were to use a lip gloss. Have you ever tried to make to your own lipstick out of eyeshadow?

If you want to keep more of the color you made, just get a small container to put it in. Simply mix a little bit of chapstick, gloss, whatever and some eyeshadow. The more eyeshadow you use, the more pigmented it will be. Try not to use too much chapstick or gloss though! Did you know you can also use eyeshadow to make your own nail polish? Leave a comment down below if you would like me to make another post on that! From one beauty lover to another, see you soon!

30 day flat abs challenge

Not only will I be doing the 30 day squat challenge, but I will also be doing the 30 day flat abs challenge. Although, there are 2 that I've seen and I'm not to sure which one I should do. Being that my figure is more of an hour glass type shape, I want to get back to the flat stomach I used to have in high school. With my new retro styled bathing suit, I also want to flatter my curves more by achieving a more toned stomach so that my waist will be nice and tiny how I like it. Here are the 2 that I've seen.

I'm not too sure which one I should do and it seems that maybe the first one will be more effective. Which one would you guys like to see me do? For this one I can obviously show you before and after pictures. Leave a comment down below and let me know which one you think I should do! From one beauty lover to another, see you soon!
