We will almost say goodbye to 2013 and welcome 2014!

Summer Beauty combating Make-up meltdowns

photos via pinterest

It's Summer which means (for some like me) Epic make-up meltdowns and make-up landslides in times when you need your make-up to stay put the most! I'm not talking about the beach or festivals but serious business! I'm talking DATING! (okay I have had Fashion Week make-up meltdowns too) The Summer Beauty rules of engagement are quite simple; less is more and to protect but these two are a bit more harder when you are going on a date with a possible mr. Perfect (where you really want to slather on make-up) and are about to have diner and drinks in daylight and yes the full sun! And is it just me or do alcohol+diner+excitement/nerves help to looking like being hit with a sledgehammer after 4 hours or so?

Anyway it was time to investigate and to go deep on finding Summer Beauty secrets, these are my favorite tutorials and tips thus far! 



1) Lauren Conrad

Lauren's Beauty secrets are really the 10 commandments when it comes to the Summer! Her tips on priming and going sheer on the foundation are not to mess with!

2) Beat the Heat

The beauty department hits the nail on the head when it comes to make-up meltdowns! The foundation is often the one to make the slide and the one that needs to stay put!

Favorite Fishtail and Waterfall Braid tutorials

images via pinterest

I have collected my favorite Fishtail and Waterfall Braid tutorials over a bit of time for getting those beautiful pretty, romantic, sometimes simple and even sloppy undone looks! Often these Braids look far more complicated then they really are and I have found that the tutorials collected are the most easy and fun to work with while giving inspiration for future more complicated fishtail and waterfall braid fun in updo's and working in multiple sections! 
xoxo



1) the Fishtail Braid


First things first, Lauren Conrad shows us how to do the fishtail braid in a few easy steps. I found this video really the best and most easy tutorial for mastering (and beginning the "art-of") the fishtail braid! 






2) Fishtail Braid picture Tutorial


For when the video above is not enough or you like photo tutorials more in general! This beautiful tutorial explains the fishtail braid in easy to follow steps. (And yes, for that big, fat and sloppy look in the 1st picture above you can distress/tease/pull apart the fishtail braid!)

3) Half sloppy fishtail braid

Refinery 29's slideshow shows us how to get this perfect half sloppy fishtail including how to get those sexy beach waves!

4) Waterfall Braid


This Waterfall Braid is so pretty and perfect in every way!

http://www.oncewed.com/67431/wedding-blog/diy-wedding/waterfall-braid-wedding-hairstyles-for-long-hair/





5) Waterfall Braid Video Tutorial 


This beautiful video from Boat People Boutique shows how to do the Waterfall braid almost similar like the tutorial above but a tiny wee bit different. I also found it really helpful to have a video supporting the photo tutorial above to get the Waterfall braid right!

http://blog.boatpeopleboutique.com/projects/diy-waterfall-braid





6) The Triple Braid

The Triple Braid is easy to do and kind of fakes that fat pulled apart sloppy fishtail or even a weaved hair and that's why I love it so much!

http://www.hairromance.com/2012/12/the-triple-braid-hairstyle-tutorial.html





7) Half done Fishtail Braid

One of my favorite fishtail hair-do's is the half done fishtail braid! And while I couldn't find the exact tutorial leading to this look the above knowledge plus the below tutorial should be enough to lead us right to it ;)
