How to: Dye extensions at home

Hey dolls,

Today's blog post will be on how to dye your hair extensions at home. Now a days a lot of hair extension company's provide a wide range of hair colors but they may not always match your hair to your liking. That's what happened to be but I didn't want to pay lots of money at a salon plus I'm pregnant and did not want any dye on my actual hair. 

Instead I brought a box dye from revlon, which I have used before, it's cheap and good quality. Then I dye each hair extension in a open and well ventilated space. 

After waiting the 25 minutes for the dye to process. I washed and conditioned the hair extensions and I also deep conditioned them for 20 minutes with coconut oil and a deep conditioner. 

Remember most hair extensions are human hair and should be care for as you would your own hair. 

The things you would need to dye your extensions are:

Box dye of your choice

A towel to place the dyed hair

Skirt/pants hanger (some company's actually have hangers for your extensions but if you are on a budget pant hangers will do the trick) 

Gloves 

Comb

I made sure to color the whole lengthen of the hair extensions including the band where the clips are located. My extension were not extremely off by color but I still chose to do this. If you have blonde hair extensions and want to dye them red, for example, dying the whole of the hair extensions is important. 

Here are some photos:

 

I hope you all enjoyed this and learn something new.

Fall Lippies

Hey beauties,

I love rocking a dark bold lip during the fall and winter. This post is about my favorite bold lipsticks for the fall and winter plus two nude lipsticks and a berry neutral color (your lips but better) that's perfect when you don't want or know how to use dark lipstick. 

The prices of each lipstick will be listed below and you can always look for drugstore dupes. 

Revlon's Black Cherry- $7-8

This color has red and blue undertones. This is a deep maroon color and I love to deepen the color by lining my lips with a red and a black lip liner. 

Revlon's Va va violet- $7-8

This color is a pure dark purple and made for the daring ;) This color actually looks amazing with a nude face and lots of lashes as well as a orange based bronzed smokey eye. I have an earlier post on this color. 

Wet n wild's Ferguson Crest Cabernet-

$4-5 

This color is a blessing from the makeup Gods. It's a deep berry and great with jewel tones eye shadows or a nude face and lots of lashes. 

MAC Laugh a Lot - $15-16

This color is a your lips but better lipstick. If you are just starting with dark colors this is a great pick and very easy to use. This color is great with a full face or a nude face. 

MAC Peachstock - $15-16

One of my favorite nudes, this is a great fall nude, there's enough orange tones to not make you look pale and can be used with any makeup look. 

MAC Blankety - $15-16

Another one of my favorite nude, although this looks a lot like Peachstock in pictures they are two completely different colors. This color has a mauve undertone and also looks great with any type of look especially smokey eyes. 

With my nude lips I only use MAC Stripdown lip liner, it's my holy grail and I would never replace it. 

I don't necessarily use a lip liner for my darker lips but I would like to purchase some. I've seen some videos on Jordana's lip liners but I never find them so if you do want a lip liner be on the look out for those. 

And always remember exfoliate your lips before using any dark or nude lipstick and always moisturize !! 

I hope this post helps you out and that you enjoyed !!

How I groom my brows

Hey dolls this post is all about my brows. I preferably thread my brows but if you wax or pluck continue doing so, this is just how I do mines. 

So I thread my eyebrows about every two or three weeks. In between that u tend to pluck unwanted hair and trim the longer pieces. 

I fill in my brows using either NYX eyebrow cake powder in dark brown or Anastasia Beverly Hills brow powder in medium brown. I fill in the spare areas and I try to keep them as natural as possible while still having them look polished and neat. I then go over them with a brow brush or a clean mascara wand to even out the powder and top them off with Anastasia Beverly Hills clear  brow gel. Any clear mascara would work but I feel that the Anastasia one works wonders for my unruly brows ! 

When I want a very polished look I do the steps mentioned above and also add a concealer under the brow and highlight with a matte highlight color but sometimes, for example with an all matte look, I use a shimmer highlight. Using the concealer will clean up any mistakes and make your brow bone pop giving you a polished look. 

I hope this help :)
