Photo Post: Bed Hair and a Touch of Deathrock

Greetings!
Many of you liked the last photo post with the black/red lipsticks and Neo Victorian hairstyles...So, I decided to invent another style...Basically it's inspired by the big hair of the 1980s and Deathrock.

I'd watched a few tutorials on you tube for hairstyling and out of those I performed my own. So here goes! And yes, the lipsticks are back! Black and red/pink in use once again...(Due to a comment on the before post stating that I should swap them around for various styles.)

Note: If these look like bad quality, blame my camera. It really messed up today and made my hair look all dry and hay like.

The back is in a high pony tail turned bun, and my bangs and other hair are teased.

Heavy teasing in the front and a little teasing on the actual bun to create frizz and volume.

So, does black lipstick suit this style?

As you can see, my bangs need a cut.

This is the full side view so you can see the style.

Next time I might not do any teasing and just leave it straight.

The lipstick wasn't actually so bold looking, just thank my silly camera for making things out of proportion.

Fairly simple makeup here: Grey eyeshadow and black eyeliner pencil, black lipstick and bronzer on the sides. A touch of mascara also. Hm. Do I suit the more 'outlined' eye look?

Hair at it's puffiest. :)

Well, that's it. I like to think of this style as I fell out of my bed/I jumped out of my grave...with a side of hairstyling elegance. :D

For this style it's wise to use hairspray for full teased effect, but as I was lazing around I didn't bother.

Anyhow...

Farewell!

Random Post: Skincare and Hair

Greetings again!
I have no idea why I'm even bothering to post, but perchance it is because of the fact that I just got 2 more followers! *Explodes into a flock of tiny bats*

I noticed that people seemed to like my photo post (hairstyles) and so I figured I'd do a mini post on Beauty and Health. Here goes:

I am sadly short and stunted (5 foot something compared to my dad at 6 foot 3) and as such I usually take facial shots. Plus the fact that my family members are fairly amateur at photography. In the future I'll try to teach mom how to take decent photos so I can give you a proper 'outfit post' instead of just hairstyles.

But on to my tips.

FACE/SKIN TIPS:
 I know I'm no where near perfect looking, but I do have a few tiny tips I will share. For keeping the pimples away, at night I use olive oil and lavender oil on my face, it does wonders.

And since I am one of those cursed with an oil rimmed face and dry arms and legs, I don't use soap at all, and I found that my skin is doing ever so much better. (Or just a light layer of easygoing soap)

And for untanning my skin and achieving paleness, I cut up one lemon into slices and put it in a glass, pour milk over it and add a teaspoon of honey. Then I cover it over, put it in the fridge all night and use it the next morning on my face and arms.

HAIR TIPS:
Everyone seems to really like my hair and they wonder how I keep it this way, so I'll post some tips for it here. You all probably know this stuff but whatever. Here goes!

I wash my hair whenever the roots get oily (Basically every two days) using two washes of Sunsilk shampoo (Sunsilk is amazing, it goes for marvellous shine and easy detangling and a generally soft and glossy finish)

And after that a wash of Sunsilk conditioner. While the conditioner is washing out, I comb my hair, as I found that this pulls out less hair and is easier to untangle then without conditioner.

After all the hair is clean and nice, I turn the water on fairly cold (As this decreases hair burn and gives an even nicer shine) and pour a cup of straight apple cider vinegar all over my scalp (While the water's still running) and rinse my hair with it. Then I let my hair dry naturally (No blowdrying unless absolutely necessary) and that's it!

Note: Sometimes instead of vinegar I boil parseley or rosemary in a pot and pour the resulting juice over my hair. (Rosemary brings out the dark color while Parseley controls dry scalp flakes.)

Well, that's all my 'tips', perchance these may benefit you. Do you have any personal skin/hair tips you would like to share?

Photo Post!

Hey everyone!
I'm very sorry I haven't updated lately, but as school has been dragging me down my mind has not even approached the idea of posting.

(But I still have faithfully read all the blogs I follow up until now. Yes, every single post people!)

I haven't got my act together for an actually cool post so I'll do a photo post with some hairstyle ideas for those who want a wacky easy and generally messy/Victorian inspired, and it will be dedicated to my 5 lovely followers, thank you so much guys!

My normal hair...and I don't suit black lipstick, right?

This was kind of inspired by Dave Vanian...but if doing it THAT style, I'd straighten it and add a white stripe.

Yes, a loose bun and my only hat...I want to get a mini top hat instead of this trilby.

This bun was made by excessively spraying my hair with hairspray and then crunching it to the back of my head.

The general rule for this style is hairspray (LOTS) for tacky looking hair, and mousse and a lot of hairpins for 'pretty'.

This is the separated bun, it's clamped together with spray and dragged over to the sides.

Front view of the pulled apart 'mop'.

These styles are very easy and don't require teasing at all, (Just a lot of backcombing and spraying) and they hold together well enough if you use hairpins.

If you tried any of these youself I am quite sure you'd do a better job than me! I only spent about 5 minutes assembling and moving the hair about to create a different look. (They are excellent for bad hair days as they have this messy elegance :D)
Anyhow, that's the end of my little photo post, see you!
