Sultra BOMBSHELL

My friend is graduating from SDSU in a week. I am so happy for her and as a graduation present I decided to do her makeup and hair. 

She has extremely long,thick, layered hair so I wanted to see what her hair would look like after using the Sultra Bombshell Curling Iron. I asked her if she had ever used a styling product like it and she said no. She told me she could never get those cute spiral curls and shes always wanted to see what they would look like on her. So we started off with clean dried hair. 











I started off at the base of her head and took small sections. I noticed the smaller the section, the tighter the curl. I continued it to the tip of the head and after the hair was curled, I went in with my fingers and broke the curls so that it didn't look so quinceanera/prom-like. 








Here is her hair with all the curls brushed though with my hands and a little bit of shine spray added. One this I will say when using the Bombshell, you have to make sure and use a heat protectant before you curl the hair. I used the Curl Safe by Sultra and added a shine to the hair and it made her curls feel light and weightless. To add to the fact that it protects the hair follicle, it also smells SOOOOO good.

So after all this the results came out beautifully. She is super excited for graduation and I can't wait to see what people say about her hair and makeup.  








Congrats to her and I hope you guys like it.

Drugstore Lipsticks

 
I am loving the Covergirl LipPerfection Lipsticks. The colors are amazing and for the price its something you can't pass up. I find it that its best to buy them at places like CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid because they usually have the BOGO sales. They have 44 beautiful shades and they range in prices from $4 - $10 dollars. 

I don't have all the colors but there are these 5 that I am in love with. I have Rapture, Flame, Temptress, Spellbound, and Heavenly. 

Covergirl claims that after 7 days of using the lipsticks your lips will be soft, smooth, and beautiful because of the moisturizing formula. What's interesting about the lipsticks is that for being a moisturizing lipsticks, the longevity of them are amazing. The pigmentation of the product is AMAZING. 
I love these lipsticks and with the variety of colors, you are sure to find something that fits your personality and style. 

Hope you guys enjoy the swatches and if you have any questions, let me know.
