Micro Braids on Lace wigs

How often do we see micro braids on lace wigs?

Almost never. That is why, Harlem 125, a maker of lace wigs, has brought out a new product- the prebraided lace wigs.

The advantages of these micro braided lace wigs is that they look amazingly natural and create an impression that you are showcasing your own hair. Just take a look at the pictures!
The styles are called LD700 and LD701 by Harlem 125. They are lace front wigs with baby hair around the hair line and they are made of heat resistant fiber, Futura.

FOTD: Holiday Teal Ombre Glitter Eye Liner & OCC Queen Lip Tar

I'd been thinking of 'ombre eyeliner' as a way to sneak in color with out it being so in your face. I drew on a thin line of Blackheart Teal Death Glitter Liner fading in to black to match my tealed hair. Potential Holiday eye? It's got the greens and glitttah but doesn't scream hi! i'm wearing Christmas on my face. On the lips: OCC Lip Tar in Queen . This color I'm not feelin, it's like Grandma lipstick on acid.The key to this look is keeping the black and white lines thin, which isn't always easy, just finding a white eyeliner that works is half the battle. I like a liquid (try Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eye Liner in Snow or LimeCrime Lunar Sea), it's easier to get precise lines whereas a pencil can dull out.

For the eyeshadow's I used the full top row of the Sleek Bad Girl Palette , it's the perfect mix of gunmetal's, noir, and has a beautiful champagne cream highlight. I wish they sold Sleek here! I'm crazy over these palette's. Complete product listing after the cut and a review on how I got these p!nk roots coming soon :)

{Wedding Trends} : Braided Hairstyles

Braids are back and hitting the bridal scene in a big way! Whether it is for the bride or bridesmaids, 

braids are the trendy new way to style hair for the big day.  Until recently, wearing a braided hairstyle 

was just for the bohemian bride. We have fashion designers to thank for the rise of wedding braids. 

Since fashion icons like Valentino and Monique Lhuillier incorporated soft glamorous braided up-dos

into their bridal runways, braids have been embraced by classic and modern brides alike! Whether 

one in the front, swept across, or an entire halo, I believe braids always add a romantic look 

to any wedding hair style. Here a round up of my faves! 

Can't get enough of this pretty trend? See more wedding hairstyles with braids in Part 2. Now, you're

Fall/Winter Makeup Trends

Look through the fabulous Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends to draw inspiration for your hot and fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty look.Share on google_plusonewitterShare on emailShare on printon gmai

We’ve again on the cusp of a new fashionable season that means nothing more than it is high time to start thinking over your fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty looks. Thus we’ve picked out all the most fashionable and fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trendsstraight from the runways for you to draw inspiration for your own autumnal beauty transformation.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – NUDE MAKEUP

Again nude makeup trend steps into the forthcoming Fall/Winter 2011-2012 season. And no wonder actually as nude is never out. Fast, easy, natural and fresh is what never better reflects the concept of this uber trendy and fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend.

Perhaps, the main difficulty here is to create radiant nude makeup (what is more important not to overdo, remember it is still nude makeup) that would accentuate your natural beauty. All you need is makeup foundation tone that perfectly suits your complexion, neutral eyeshadow shade, mascara to make your eyes pop, a bit of blush applied to the apples of your cheekbones for more vivid look and nude lip-gloss or lipstick color to complete the look.

Draw inspiration from the best runway beauty looks created byBalmain, Versace, Valentino, Alexander Wang and others:

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – VAMPY LIPS

The Fall/Winter 2011-2012 season is all about contradiction. On the one hand there is nude or even almost no makeup, while on the other vampy lips of different shades. Everything from our fave orange and red lipstick shades to burgundy and dark purple ones. Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Fashion Shows were all over studded with vampy lip makeup looks. Such fashion gurus as Diane von Furstenberg andYves Saint Laurent opted for saturated lip makeup coupled with flawless complexion.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – THICK EYEBROWS

Naturalness runs through all the Fall/Winter 2011-2012 beauty trends. We can kiss goodbye to thin over-plucked brows as now thick natural sometimes even boyish eyebrow look is ‘in’. Moreover Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends make us to define eyebrows with black pencil as we saw on the runways of Alexander Wang, Jean Paul Gaultier, andOscar de la Renta.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – VARICOLORED SMOKED EYES

Smoky eye makeup is one of the hottest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends though as usual. The only thing here that changes about smoky eyes is the eyeshadow shade. Classic version of ‘smokies’ like we saw on the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Chloe fashion shows is also ‘in’ alongside with a bit more unusual eyeshadow shades like the ones that models sported on the fashion shows of Narciso Rodriguez, Chanel or heavily smoked eyes of Vera Wang and Roberto Cavalli models.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – EYELINER

Lines, lines and again lines… from thin winged eye lines to weird thick lines covering almost all the lid, fashion shows were stuffed with gorgeous beauty looks created just with an eyeliner. You can go for a classic version like the one that was spotted on the runways of Giorgio Armani or Gianfrance Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 fashion shows. As well as you can opt for more dramatic version a la Dolce & Gabbana orLouis Vuitton models’ eye makeup.

Fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 Makeup Trend – ORANGE EYE MAKEUP

And in conclusion I simply can’t pass through this fab Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend spotted on the fashion shows of Rodarte, Donna Karan, Prada and many others. From warm autumnal orange eyeshadow shade to acid orange mixed with a bit pink, designers made orange eye makeup the newest Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trend.

Winter Makeup Trends for 2012

Want to know what's sexy this season when it comes to makeup? These looks, sported by our favorite celebs, are hot off the runway. They'll def get you noticed this winter.

Oxblood Lips

OMG, we're dying over this vampire-inspired lip color that Camille Belle recently wore on the red carpet—and that we saw at Bottega Veneta.

This burgundy to almost black hue is a fresh take on classic red hues for winter and requires a little attitude to rock. Oh, and don't forget to swipe on blush, since this color can wash you out.

Cobalt Blue Eyeliner

Cobalt blue is a huge color this winter from eyeshadow to nail polish. Seen at shows like Prabal Gurung and Anna Sui, this shade is sure to boost your mood.

To avoid an I'm-a-child-of-the-80's look, copy Nicole Richie's technique and line your lash line with a cobalt blue khol pencil and smudge it out a bit. If that's still too much blue for you, line the lower lash line with the same product for a pop of color.

Full-On Flushed Cheeks

Vibrant cheeks, like Kirsten Dunst's—and seen at Michael Kors and Rodarte, scream confidence. To create the "après-ski effect," as makeup artist Dick Page phrased it at Kors' fall 2012 show, reach for a good blush brush and an orangey-red rouge. 

BackNext

Smokeshow Shadow

Amp up your eyes with soot-shaded shadow with a hint of sparkle similar to what we saw at Versace—and on Jessica Alba. Swipe the smoky shade all over your lids, or, for a softer approach, use a black sparkly eyeliner along your upper and lower lashes using a small, stiff brush and then blend it in with your finger to make it look less perfect.

BackNext

Crazy-Ass Eyeliner

Geometric eyeliner was all the rage at fall fashion shows, like Antonio Marras, Lanvin, Giorgio Armani, and Zac Posen, but we love the way that Ginnifer Goodwin stepped outside of her beauty comfort zone and rocked it on the red carpet at the 2012 Emmy Awards.

The technique? Lightly swipe a dove gray eyeshadow over you lids. Then, trace your upper lash line with your choice of liner, creating a winged effect at the outer corner of your eye. Lastly, continue the line along your crease until you almost reach the inner corner of your eye.

BackNext

Brooke Shields Brows

Bold brows, like Lucy Hale's, graced the runways at almost every show. To get this look without giving yourself too-thick, too-dark arches, dip a slanted makeup brush into a brow powder one shade lighter than your brow hair color and create hair-like strokes to fill in any sparse spots. The result? Fuller brows that Brooke Shields would approve of.

BackNext

Green With Envy Eyeshadow

Deep green is a universally flattering shade, so it plays well with any skin tone. It's as versatile as brown and gray, just cooler.

To work it, lightly dust a mossy green shade all over your eyelid for a sheer wash of color and then add a shadow with golden accents to the inner "V" corner of your eye, like makeup artists did at Roberto Cavalli. Or, apply the emerald hue along your top and bottom lash line, like Kat Graham did here. Pair this look with neutral cheeks and lips to avoid overdoing it.

Berry Pretty Lipstick

This season's take on pink lips makes it look like you've been eating raspberries all afternoon and the pinkish purple color of them has stained your lips. Case in point: Zooey Deschanel at the2012 Emmy Awards—and at Rochas fall 2012 show. Couple this swipe of color with minimal face makeup and some mascara for a fresh–faced look.
