Selena Gomez Alter Ego Hair and Makeup Tutorial

From the first time I saw this video I was mesmerized by Selena's fun personality and sense of humor! Here I re-created her alter ego look after a quick run to the thrift store for a flannel button up and bandana (only costing me $5 total).

What I used need

Makeup

- Urban Decay primer potion

- MAC cork and soft brown eye shadow

- 3 pairs of Model 21 false lashes 
- Wet n Wild brow palette 

- Maybelline stiletto eye liner

- Maybelline falsies mascara

Hair:

The hair was simple. I heated my hair with hot rollers. Don't know how? Here is a simple hair tutorial. After applying rollers, allow them to cool down for at least 15 minutes. Remove the rollers and start rolling about 4 sections of hair in the front, setting it in place with bobbi pins. Bring the rest of your hair up to a high ponytail. Wrap your ponytail into a loose bun (to allow volume) and pin in place. 

Once your hair and makeup is done, just accessorize with a button up flannel, hoop earrings, a bandana, and loose jeans!

Back to Basics: Hot Rollers

Hot rollers are one of the easiest ways to curl your hair with little time and effort. I use conair jumbo hot rollers which I got from Walmart for about $30.00. It comes with 4 super jumbo (1 3/4 inches) and 8 jumbo (1 1/2 inches ) hot rollers, along with hair pins to set in place. 

I start off by plugging in the rollers and allowing it to heat up for about 10 minutes. I take the super jumbo size roller and use them at the top of my head. Its easier to wrap your hair starting in the middle rather than the end, that way you get a tight grip and prevents your hair from slipping out. I prefer curling away from the face. 

I used three of the super jumbo rollers at the top, and the rest of the jumbo rollers everywhere else. Watch the video below to see where I position the rollers. Once all are in, allow the rollers to cool down (the longer, the better!) I gave my hair 20 minutes before removing the rollers.

I run my fingers through my hair to loosen up the curls and finish off the look with Loreal paris Elnett hairspray. Elnett is perfect for soft curls cause it doesn't stiffen your hair or make it flake.

Here's the finished look!

Heatless Curls with Sponge Rods

Remember those pink sponge rollers your mom used on your when you were a kid? Those didn't go too well for me. The plastic clips always fell out during my sleep, leaving random odd shaped curls throughout my hair. Thankfully I discovered sponge rods! I've seen them at beauty stores and even drugstores. The ones I bought are 15mm Hot Tools. Eight dollars for 10 rods. They're a little thicker than the ones i've seen at my local walmart. 

 

 They're very simple to use. I applied a curling mousse to my clean damp hair before curling. I sectioned off my hair (as usual when curling) and took about 2 inch sections. Starting at my ends, I wrapped my hair around the middle of the rods and rolled it up. Secure the rod by folding in the ends.

It was surprisingly comfortable sleeping in the curlers. It didn't pull my hair while I moved, they were really flexible. After about 8 hours, the rollers were still in the same place.

To remove the rollers, simply unfold the rods and twirl them out rather than pull them out. Don't be alarmed when you end up looking like a curly sue. 

After gently running my fingers through my hair and some hair styling oil, here's how the final look turned out.

 

Drugstore Haul Sept. 2011

Last week my mom asked me to pick up her prescription at RiteAid and of course her prescription wasn't ready. What else to do but roam around and spend my money foolishly :/ So as I'm walking around I noticed Revlon was having a buy one get one half off deal, including a $4 up reward for spending $10! Here's what I bought from Revlon.

Photo Ready foundation in Medium Beige $13.99

Photo ready powder in Medium/Deep $13.50

I'm always on the look out for the perfect brow powder... and I think i've found it! Lately i've been using MAC's espresso eye shadow, but after watching Nymphette's video I was sold on Wet n Wild's brow powder. Its only a few bucks at the drugstore too, Score! I use the lighter brown shade with just flat angled brow brush.

Wet n Wild brow powder $2.99

This blush caught my attention. It must be the color combination, I love how neutral the colors are with a subtle glow. Although there was no discount deal, I figure it was worth trying and reviewing. 

Healthy skin custom glow $12.99

Lastly, I was at target to buy some BioSilk hair oil. The past few months i've been using argon oils and Moroccan oils, but none compares to my favorite BioSilk. Luckily I found the best deal of the hair oil, shampoo, and conditioner for only $25!
