Pro:

- invisable

- takes less time

- can be taken off

Con:

Gift Idea - Customize His Dress Shirt from Blank Label

 

Here's a gift idea for him. Customize a dress shirt in about 10 minutes! Blank Label is a website when you can customize men's dress shirts to their liking. You decide what fabric you want, pattern, sizing, buttons, you choose it all! Blank Label contacted us awhile back asking us to promote the website. As always, we wanted to test the product first before deciding on featuring anything on my youtube channel. Blank label has high quality dress shirts. Benji stated himself, "This is very high quality. I couldn't find anything that was bad about it at all".

 Benji and his brother customized their own dress shirts. Here are the ones they created. You can see the specific details from the fabric to the embroidery. 

Feel free to check out BlankLabel.com yourself. Play around with the website and design your own dress shirt. You can see the finished result before purchasing :) If you don't know what your boyfriend, fiance, or husband would like, there are also gift cards available!

Loose Updo inspired by Lauren Conrad

Lauren Conrad's loose updo was requested many times on my Facebook. Many celebrities have sported this similar look on red carpet events. This look may be a bit time consuming, but again well worth it! Here's my interpretation of the look.

What you'll need:

- hot rollers

- heat protectant

- bobbi pins

- hair spray

 First curl your hair with hot rollers

Once you remove the rollers, section your hair in half.

 Use your fingers to roll your hair up, then pin down.

 Here are the finished results!

a lil bit of Sparkle!

What I used...

- Urban Decay primer potion

- NYX Soho Glam palette

- MAC reflects gold glitter

- MAC fix + 

- E.L.F. liquid eyeliner

-Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner

Selena Gomez inspired Side Ponytail

Selena Gomez has beautiful thick hair, and a great sense of style when it comes to hair. She has been sporting the voluminous side ponytail for awhile now. You can recreate her look even if you lack her gorgeous thick locks! Here is what you'll need:

- 1/2 inch curling iron

- Heat protectant

- hair spray

- hair tie

- rat tail comb/ teasing comb

Add heat protectant to your hair

Curl your hair with a curling iron. Interchange the direction of each curl

Apply dry shampoo to add texture

Tease the hair around the crown and temples

Your hair should look voluminous like this

Put your hair to a side ponytail, then lift your hair to your desired volume with a rat tail comb

Pull out some strands of hair, and there ya have it. A Selena Gomez inspired side ponytail!

Feel free to re-create this look yourself and post your video response to the video below, or even post a photo of the look on my facebook :)

White Underarms/ Armpits

I know this is an odd subject, and maybe even embarrassing to some, however my armpits seem to strike up a conversation through my video comments:

I wish I can tell you what it is I do to keep my underarms so clean, but I guess you can say its what I don't do. Surfing the net, I found that most women suffer dark underarms due to harsh deodorant and shaving. I don't use deodorant, nor do I shave. I know, sounds weird, but I guess I was blessed to not have body odor and thick hair! I have very thin, few hairs under my arms that I just leave them. Sounds sick right? haha

If you are suffering from dark underarms there are a few remedies you might want to try. Try rubbing lemon in circular motions after your shower. I hear some people may be allergic, so try a small amount at first. Another tip is papaya soap. I remember papaya soap was sold all over Philippines. Many Filipinos love to have that white skin ;) You should also try exfoliating under the arms every time you shower. You can find loofah's for only $1. Here is an article I found on the web that may be helpful as well.
