Major Haircut!

Before two weeks ago I hadn't had a haircut in almost two years! My hair was so dead! For a very long time I didn't use heat protectant on my hair even though I was using heat stylers daily! Here is a before picture of my hair. 


My hair was more than half way down my back, my once exsistant bangs were to my shoulders and the ends of my hair were split, dead and frizzy.

I went to the salon and I told the stylist that I wanted to cut it to my shoulders to get rid of the dead hair. 


After this photo I asked her to cut off a couple more inches and then we dyed it! I went to shade darker than my roots and here are the results! 


A total of 7 inches off, long layers to make my thick hair easier to manage, and a brand new color! I'm in love. I have been scared to cut my hair short for a long time but now I'm in love!!

Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipstick Review

When Jeffree Star released his first line of liquid lipsticks on Black Friday, I was more than excited. J Star is one of my main beauty idols! Unfortunately, I was unable to purchase any of the colors at the time of release, but my very lovely college roommate got it for me as a Christmas gift!


The packaging is gorgeous! I got the color "Redrum". In the tube it looks to be a more of an warm toned/orangey red rather than a cool toned red which looks best with my skin tone. After applying it and the product dried it was more of a cool toned red which would look great with all skin tones! The consistency is amazing. 


This picture was taken after I first applied the lipstick. It becomes matte but doesn't dry your lips whatsoever! I ate lunch with this lipstick and did not have to reapply. Some product came off on my glass, but again I didn't have to reapply. 



This picture was taken about 6 hours later after a nap! There was a little bit of bleeding around the edges, but lipstick isn't suppose to be worn to sleep!! I also did not use a lip liner before applying the product because I wanted to see the solo performance of the lipstick

Overall this product is amazing and top of the line. I love how involved Jeffree is with making his products and how he personally tries them out before production. I can't wait for the new nude colors to drop in the spring/summer and for Jeffree Star Cosmetics to expand.
