Life is full of beauty. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.

MAC Pro Longwear Foundation & Concealer

 I am in love with this foundation and concealer! It makes my skin look flawless for at least 10 hours.  I get great, long wearing results without a primer and setting powder.    I have combination/oily skin and this foundation controls my oil very well without a powder.  If you have dry skin, this foundation might look cakey if you apply a setting powder.  The foundation sets to more of a satin finish on my skin.  A powder of course would give you more of a matte finish, but I don't think it's necessary.   Overall, I don't think I would recommend this to people who have dry skin.  But I think it's perfect for combination/oily skin.  Also, if you do decide to powder this foundation, I would only powder where you get oily.

How I Get My Heatless Curls

After playing around with my flexi rods, I finally found the best way to get the curls to look great!
-I take my shower before I go to bed, then let my hair air dry until it's about 60%-70% dry.
-Then I put in the rollers and go to bed.
-When I wake up the next morning, the curls are pretty tight, but after a few hours they begin to relax.
-Once they relax, they look AWESOME! I absolutely love it!!!

How I Dyed My Hair


 I started with dyed dark reddish brown hair. 

I divided my hair into four section. First, section your hair in half, so you have the left and right section. Then section the left and right hair in half again, by creating a part behind your ears. You will get something like this

I started applying the bleach to the ends of my hair working my way up and stopping about 1 1/2 inches from my roots. I worked one section of hair at a time started with the two sections in the back. I let the bleach process for maybe 15-20 minutes, or until it was just deeper than a pumpkin color. Then I applied the rest of the bleach to my roots, cover my head with a plastic bag, then waited until my hair was a pumpkin color. Then I rinsed, and shampooed my hair.


After that, I sectioned my hair again and applied the medium auburn hair dye all over my head.  This was my result: (basically a really ugly hair color)

Then I applied a light neutral brown color the next morning. 

That's how I got the hair color I have now, and I love it!
