Summer Long Blond Hair (photo)


, originally uploaded by shimelho.

Here's a hairstyle that has been around for awhile but always popular adn cute in the summer. Long blonde hair with slighly layering and face framing (and waves) with a just off-center party.

While it looks one-length, it's actually has layers in the front so it doesn't just hang down.

hairspray and gel help get teh hair away from the head near the ears as does blowdrying.

For this hairstyle, you'll need a skin color that can wear this light blonde hair (in the summer, more of us can do this b/c we have a tan and aren't too washed out), but also long blond hair that isn't too fine.

How to Depot MAC Eyeshadows and Make Your Own Eyeshadow Palette

How to Depot MAC Eyeshadows and Make Your Own Eyeshadow Palette. Having your own eyeshadow palette is an easy way for you to grab eyeshadow colors and create your makeup look for the day. Plus its hard to carry many different eyeshadows when you're traveling. In a few weeks beauties I'm heading off to Vegas I've been there before and its so much fun. They have a huge Mac Pro store but don't worry there will be many pics for you to drool over as I will show you the inside. Plus I may even have a goodie bag for one lucky person to win.

Since I'll be doing some traveling I decided to make my own palette so that I can carry my eyeshadows in one palette instead of just having them rolling around in my case. Many of you are probably traveling this summer so be sure to look below to learn how to make your own palette.

What You''ll Need

Bliss Fat Girl Slim Review and Bliss Love Handler Review

Bliss Fat Girl Slim Review and Bliss Love Handler Review. Summer days and nights are quickly approaching and I wanted to look great this summer in a simple pair of shorts or in a swim suit. Who am I kidding I want to look great period and cellulite is not pleasing to the eye any time of year. For a while now I've heard about Bliss and their wonderful "slimming products" so I had to try it for myself. So I purchased Bliss Fat Girl Slim and The Love Handler from sephora.



What Sephora and Bliss Says It Does:
Fat Girl Slim:
A lean, mean circulation stimulating, slimming cream for the body.
With caffeine and QuSomes (a proprietary delivery enhancer that helps penetration), this rich cream helps smooth the skin as it firms, trims, tones, and energizes.
The Love Handler:
Wages war on not-so-hard 'core' areas with caffeine, to whittle the look of your middle and tone pudgy tummies. Cooling mint oil and naturally-derived amino acid help to boost energy and make lingering lipids depart on the double. (It's 'ab'-solutely fabulous, if we do say so ourselves.)

What I Say It Does: All I have to say is wow if you are having some serious issues in your body that you want to smooth out do yourself a favor and purchase these two babies today. The Fat Girl Slim says that it takes 28 days to see results but honestly I saw them within two weeks of using it everyday twice a day. My legs are so smooth and no bumps or bulges and I've even managed to fit into my skinny skinny jeans again. The Bliss Love Handler product tinges when you put it on but if you use it right before you work out or do your core workout you will get fast results. This isn't a miracle product but I believe that if you're really trying to tone up your body and you work out on a regular basis you will see great results with both products. I know I have. The only downside is that you will probably go through your jar of Fat Girl Slim very quickly.

Paris Hilton Big Bangs and long blonde hair (photo)


SPL59391_031, originally uploaded by queensarahbella.

These bangs go pretty far back on her head, which for some of us, isn't a good look, plus, they end up annoying me but I wanted to show these as they care a classic bangs (think of all the little kids who have this hairstyle.) I think the middle part is what I don't like about it. becuase it looks like there's a triangle on her head.

Anyway, another bang hairstyle idea from Paris Hilton.

Okay, she also cut these herself. Amazing.

These are perfect side bangs and pretty close to what I'm looking for. Plus her highlights look great iwth her bangs as they give them some depth.

new bang 2, originally uploaded by eleisha.

According to the photo, she cut these herself which amazes me.

I wish there was a photo wiht the top of her head to see how far back she went, but I think these are great bangs for summer, long and with a slight side angle.

They frame her face really well.

Cute bangs for long straight hair (photo)

I'm looking for bangs for summer, so expect to see a few posts with bangs. These are pretty classic bangs, but the reason they look so good is that they are completely straight across her forehead.

Bangs are great for people with long or oval faces (me!) so not too look too sad or too tired. THink of Alanis Morrisette, as cute as she is, when she had the straight long hair, it really made her face look extra long.

Anyway, cute bangs, cute gal, great hair.
