Fall 2013 Hair Trends

How to wear your hair this Fall.

 Ok guys So I have been doing a little research for this blog and I have found that the hair trends for this coming seasons are awesome, they are a lot from were you can choose from, and have many versatile looks
  • The low ponytail is back for another season
This look is so timeless, we couldn’t be happier, this hair style is so chic and in style, the best thing is that is a Low-maintenance ready-to-go-out-the-door hairstyle that makes us look pretty and put together in just a few minutes, and is so simple. To add more fun to the look and keep a more relaxed look leave a few strands loose.
This is a great style for second day hair or three after washing your hair.

  •  Ombre is still on
We can keep experimenting with this trend, the royalty of fashion and trend setters, have decided to keep this trend alive for lot longer. If you have never tried this look, know is the time, remember new season, new attitude, new hair!? why not!? try a super subtle fade-out  like the one in this photo, remember to have a good communication with your hair dresser, so you get what you want. 

 

 


  •  Side Faux Bang 
Why make the commitment of full-on bangs when a simple part can give you a believable and beautiful approximation?  this look is really boyish but super sexy and pretty.





  • The Wet Look
Well this is not my favorite look, but my job is to show you everything that is out there. well this trend it's really controversial but it has been spotted in a lot of runways, such as Oscar de la Renta, Alberta Ferretti and Roberto Cavalli; what is people saying abut this trend!? “It's sexy, shiny and gives off a very nonchalant vibe.” see for yourself.








  • Bangin' Bangs
A good fringe never goes out of style, a few longer strands around the edges of the face will soften a full fringe. A long, side-swept fringe worn slicked-down is one of autumn’s biggest trends.



 

  • The Relaxed Blow-Dry
Forget spending hours in rollers: this season’s blow-dries are easy, breezy and beautiful. Remember an off-center parting gives a more relaxed feel. this look is perfect for those on the run girls and so in style.









  • Sleek Back
  The super-slick trend is best worked super-straight, and a center parted poker straight style is oh-so-sleek, finish with a shine spray for a super-glossy style.
stylists maintained soft lift at the root, while hairspray and generous dollops of gel created flatter




Here you have a lot of different options to wear your hair for this fall/winter,  don't be afraid to play with trends, just don't think about it, have fun, and wear what you think it looks best and suits you the most. If you liked this blog let us know in a comment in the comments section.

COVERGIRL "FLAMED OUT MASCARA"

Flame Out.... The newest mascara from COVERGIRL (REVIEW)

The product Claims 
  • Maximum volume instantly
  • Bold winged-out lash look
  • A unique wire brush to curve lashes up an out.  
AMAZING  ha? When I read it, I thought that too, and as it is a COVERGIRL brand so I got convinced really fast that I didn't even do any research about this mascara, and I decided to buy it.
 The  down side is that this new type of brush gives you so much expectations. It's also kind of disappointing that the formula is a little dry, what makes it hard to build it up. but if you are a big fan of dry formulas this is the one for you! I am more of a wet formula type of girl.
                                                                                                                                                                    Packaging and Presentation

As packaging is concerned the tube is wrapped with plastic and a cart board with information. As you can see the brush already comes into the formula tube, so you don't get the actual look of the brush. It has pretty fun colors but not that much creativity with the decoration, as it just has flames. I'll give it 4 stars for packaging and presentation.



I tested with out curling my lashes on my right eye first because I wanted to be able to see how this mascara actually works.

                               Normal Lashes                                          Curled Lashes
       

First Coat

                            Normal Lashes                                             Curled Lashes

Second Coat



Do you see the difference from when I curled my lashes first and from the 1st and 2nd coats?
I think that the left side (the one with the curly lashes) looks thicker and a fuller than the other side, but the other side  looks longer.

Comparison


Now let's talk about the real product and no any expectations.
The formula for this mascara is really dry which is kind of bad because that meas that the lashes are going to clump more easily, so you need to be more careful by the time you apply this product onto your lashes. I had to work and build it up a lot just to get that volume from the picture, which is why I wont think of this mascara as my "Go To" mascara.
This mascara actually works really great is you have small  and thick lashes because it does makes them longer but it doesn't give you that full effect that you might be looking for. After 16 hours this mascara didn't flake and it looked the same as I first applied.

The brush is great because is really easy use but you might want to be careful, because of the size you can messed up your eye make up, and you will have to fix it as I did.

The Price! Well prices may vary from where you get it from, prices go from 5.99 to 7.99$ approx. Just to make you things more easy, we'll leave a few links were you can get this mascara if you click HERE, HERE or HERE. and again if you go to the store you might be able to find a few coupons and get it for cheaper or get better deals.

We will give this mascara 3 stars total just because we know that COVERGIRL has better mascaras for the same price. Let us know what do you guys want for us to review next.
