Fun Hairdo for Long-Haired Ladies – European Twist

image

Tried out a new up-do today! Now that my hair has finally grown out to the length I’ve been dying for it to grow out to it was time to play with some new hairstyles. I got this idea from an article I read on Refinery29 yesterday labeled 6 DIY Hairstyles Perfect For Long-Haired Ladies. I really like this new style. It’s a mix between a subtle Princess Leia look and a European maiden. And It’s great for hot days too! What do you think?!

My First Look at The Body Shop’s Spring/Summer Collections

L-R Clockwise: Brush With Fashion A La Mode Limited Collection For Eyes, Honey Bronze Makeup Line, Earth Lovers Apricot & Basil and Pear & Lemongrass Biodegradable Shower Gels, Brush With Fashion Eye Kits and Lip Glosses, Brush With Fashion Swag Bag, Apricot & Basil Biodegradable Shower Gel

I’ve always had a knack for certain beauty products. I know exactly which foundation, eye cream, eyeshadow, liner, lipstick, and gloss I like. I rarely ever stray from my favorites. A few brands I am devoted to are Smashbox, Laura Mercier, Bare Escentuals, and MAC Cosmetics. I love these products because I know I can trust them. Recently though I was introduced to The Body Shop makeup line.  Every time I hear of the The Body Shop I always think of shower gels, shampoos, and lotions, never makeup, so when I was given the opportunity to try their limited edition Brush With Fashion line I jumped on it. I thought here is my chance to test out their products and to my surprise they were quite awesome!

Their new spring line Brush with Fashion is a cruelty-free, fashion-forward make-up and accessories collection.  It has built-in brushes, Community Fair Trade ingredients and covetable packaging that was created in collaboration with the internationally-acclaimed London College of Fashion. Above is a headshot I took at The Brush With Fashion Body Shop event I attended a few weeks ago in San Francisco. All makeup I am wearing is from The Body Shop including my foundation, blush, and mascara. The eyeshadow used is the Boho Beauty palette from the Brush With Fashion line. Boho Beauty offers wearable matte shades in nude, apricot and browns.
