MAC – VIVA GLAM

I
MAC – VIVA GLAM

In 1994 M·A·C introduced VIVA GLAM which was an outspoken deep red that was universal in appeal and glamour. In 1997 a 2nd lipstick named VIVA GLAM II was created it was a pinked mauve shade. VIVA GLAM III, a foxy brown plum launched in 2000. VIVA GLAM IV a heartful rose charged with gold was introduced in March 2002. In March 2004 Viva Glam V made its debut it was a pure neutral pink with a delicious Lustre finish! VIVA GLAM VI, the newest member of the VIVA GLAM family, is a warm terracotta-plum with pearl finish. Wear it alone or finish it off with a coat of VIVA GLAM VI Lipglass. Every cent of the selling price of VIVA GLAM Lipstick and Lipglass is donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund to support men, women, and children living with HIV and AIDS. That’s something you probably didn’t know (it’s definitely something I didn’t) and it has raised a lot of money over the years for the AIDS fund.

Three ways to do a plait :)

Three ways  to do a plait !
Below are three ways to a plait , there are cute easy and look really good. So take a look and learn how to do three new plaits J !
The first plait is a waterfall plait. This is a really nice plait it looks really good when done. It’s really easy and won’t take you long at all J
Brush the hair and makes sure its all straight. Grab a chunk of hair from the front , and bring it to the back of your head and divide into three pieces. Bring the bottom piece over the middle piece, and then the top piece over the middle piece. Grab another piece of your hair from the top and add it to the piece of your plait. Bring the top piece over the middle piece. Grasp the bottom piece with pinky. Drop the piece you have on your pinky , and get another piece from the bottom. Bring the new piece over the middle piece. Continue doing this until you get halfway around your head and pin with a clip. Do the other side and now your doneJ 



The next plait is a fishtail plait . Divide your hair into a side parting and take the whole length of your hair over to one side. Begin by splitting the hair into two sections. Take a small piece of hair from the outside of one of the two main sections and bring it to the inside of the opposite section.  Then take a small piece of hair from the outside of the other section and bring it to the inside of the opposite section and pull tight. Keep taking small pieces from each side into the inside of each section to develop the introverted braided pattern. Keep going till the end and then you’re finished J


The final plait is a traditional plait. Divide your hair into three equal sections. Take the whole right section of your hair and cross it over the middle section. The right section of hair has now become the middle section vice versa. Cross the whole left section of hair over the middle section. Continue alternating with the left and right sections in this criss-cross pattern. Hold hair tight to keep it neat. Wrap a bobbin on the end and then you’re finished.

5 Quick and Easy Hairstyles!

5 Quick and Easy Hairstyles!

These looks would be perfect for school or just a casual day in town. The best part about these lovely hairstyles is that you don’t need any fancy skills to do them. People who wake up with about five minutes to get ready in the morning deserve nice hair too, so here you go!

Hairstyle no 1: This is a very simple and relaxed hairstyle that also puts a nice spin on the regular pony tail. The picture is pretty self-explanatory, just tie your hair up loosely, divide above the hair tie in two then just pull your hair through. 
  


Hairstyle no 2: This hairstyle is also very simple and can work on most kinds of hair. It involves taking the front pieces of your hair on both sides, then plaiting them to the back of your head then tying the two plaits with a clear hair tie or a normal one would look good too.


Hairstyle no 3: This is another pony tail style. It’s a pony tail with two braids coming from the two sides of your head and then joining the pony tail. A good idea for a rainy day or if you didn't have lots of time to style your hair to wear it down.

Hairstyle no 4: This is a very simple and pretty look. You just take a section of hair from behind your ear and do a tight plait to the end of the section. Then put it across your head like a hairband and secure with a clip. Then if you want to go a step further, take another section of hair from above your other ear, make another tight plait. Then bring behind your head and secure with another clip.



Hairstyle no 5: This last hair style is perfect when you have a busy day planned and you don’t want hair in your face. You just do a simple twist on each side of your head, secure each with a clip. Take the rest of your hair and do a simple twist, secure with a hair tie.
 



So there are the 5 quick and easy hairstyles that everyone can do at home. I hope these help some of you add more variety to your hairstyle routine and makes your accidental lie ins less stressful.

Best foundations for oily skin. From Nars to Rimmel!

  • If you want your makeup to stay on instead of running or smearing off your face which you will want to make sure you always prime your skin first. The easiest thing to do is prime the most oily areas like the T-zone. You can put primer on after washing your face and before you actually put on your makeup. You can also prep your eyelids with an eyelid primer for example; Rimmel Eye Primer Exaggerate Undercove (€6.59) or Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (€21.00).



    .
    Also make sure that you don’t overdo it on setting  powder It may sound that packing on the oil-absorbing powder would be a good idea but actually too much powder can make your pores push out even more oil. If you want something handy in case you get a shiny oily spot or two throughout the day carry some blotting papers in your bag. They are great for a quick touch up eg. Boots Skin Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (€5.39).

    Below we have listed some of the best foundations for oily skin from brands like MAC, NARS and Clarins to Rimmel, Revlon and Maybelline. Enjoy J
