Cartoon Liner Meet Bronze Goddess

File_002

Hello My Bondbeautys,

Another beautiful Friday and I’m ready to share this fun, trendy makeup look with you! Im going to cut down on chit chat and lets just get started. I have been obsessing over the Cartoon Eyeliner Trend that has been taking over Instagram. I wanted to recreate a summer bronzey look & combine it with Cartoon Liner. I love how it turned out and I know you will too. (Full Tutorial Below)

File_000

I started out with a Gold Bronzey Eyeshadow look and added a pop of color with the liner. Surprisingly Cartoon liner is really simple! I just made a super bold cat eye shape with Teal Gel Liner. Then I outlined it with a black eyeliner. It took time and patience but it was worth it. Take your time, its ok if its not perfect. In the tutorial below I show you how I to fix the lines if they arn’t as straight as you would like them to be.

Camo/Army Inspired Makeup | INSTA TUTORIALS

77

Hello my BondBeautys,

Happy Friday, today is a special friday because its my wonderful husbands birthday! I wouldn’t be where I am at today, and I wouldn’t have this blog if it wasn’t for him. So Thank you!

Im so excited to share another InstaTutorial with you guys. So what this is for those of you that are new; On Instagram I sometimes like to do fantasy/editorial/themed Makeup looks that will just look beautiful in pictures. Sometimes when I do these I like to turn on the camera and film it in a tutorial form. But, whats different than other tutorials is that at the very end I share some of my edited picture and you can vote in the comments on which pic you like. And which pic you think I should put on my Instagram Feed! This is a fun way to kind of join both the youtube & instagram platform. Don’t worry I’m going to be showing you those pics and you can vote too, right here!

100For this look I was super inspired my my camo that I love to wear. Yes its a SolarCity Hat :). No I’m not sponsored I just have a bunch of SolarCity Gear and out of all the hats my husband owns this one is my favorite. So I thought why not turn it into a amazing eye look that I have never seen done before. Hence this makeup look was born.

 

 

So before I share my tutorial below I thought I would share the Pictures so you can vote, and give you all the makeup details. This look actually turned out to be quite easy.

(1st Picture)

9951. I started off by shaping a bold, square brow.

2. I traced out the pattern that I wanted with the black from the Imagic Flash Palette.

3. I filled in the different portions with different Army colors from the flash palette, brown, dark brown, army green,bright green, & cream

4. I set all those creams with powdered Eyeshadow that matched.( below all palettes used)

5. I then went back over the black outline with a thin eyeliner brush & the cream shadow again.

6. I did  a quick wing & popped on some lashes.

AsaVea Hair Straightening Brush Review

thumb

Hello my Bondbeautys,

Its been a long time since I have done a post. With that said one of my new years resolution is to be more consistent in my blog & youtube. I really want to do more this year and I hope you guys are as excited as I am for this new year! So Im starting out this year right with a giveaway! With that said you will have to wait till  the end to learn more about that. Today I wanted to tell you my thoughts and experience with the AsaVea Hair Straightening Brush*. I was sent this brush a couple weeks ago to try out and I have been so impressed with it that I decided to do a whole blog post about it.

4-review-copy

Lets talk about what the company claims really quickly (Inserted exactly from the website*) Advanced MCH ceramic heat technology delivers a consistent optimum temperature
Suitable for a variety of hair types with seven temperature levelsfrom 330˚F to 450˚F
Give you smooth, straight, frizz-free hair in half the time it takes to use a flat iron.

 

PROS:

  • Heats up & Cools Down Quickly
  • Because of the Bristles it creates a barrier between you and the flat iron part to help prevent burning; although the bristle still get hot they are not as hot as the iron plate underneath.
  • Decreases frizz when straightening because of the brush & iron combo. (although for my hair it definitely illuminates some of the frizz but not all because of how frizzy & damaged my hair truely is)
  • Temperature is suitable to fit all hair types. I like to have it at 410
  • Straightens & styles my hair without leaving it flat. It straightens it & gives it volume.
  • Love how it styles BANGS does an amazing job & makes it easier. (see video below for small demo)
  • Minimizes damage because I only pull it through my hair 2 times!

CONS:

  • Takes the same amount of time for me to straighten my hair. (But for others with super super curly hair & non manageable hair it can minimize your hair straightening time if you use this first)
  • If you have really tangly or damaged hair you need to use a brush first or it will rip your hair out. Its not soft enough to use this to get tangles out!
  • For some the Price will be a CON it retails for $54.94* ; But with that said to get a really nice straightener it costs about the same or even less than a CHI

9-review

So with that said lets talk about some Tips & Tricks to making this the most affective.

  1. I comb my hair through before using this
  2. I divide it into 1inch sections
  3. I pull my hair straight (still gently) while I pull the comb through
  4. Start at the very roots & pull through slowly
  5. DO NOT STOP Always keep moving to prevent any burning or damage
  6. AT the very end curl the ends by turning your wrist in or out depending on what look you are going for
  7. USE a Hair oil/elixer * or Spray*to get rid of all frizz .
  8. At the Crown I Will divide the section I would usually tease and put Comb at the base & pull backwards (Making a n motion)to give it extra volume. (See video same motion as I do with my bangs)

Here is how my hair turned out: Before & After (see video below)

2-review5-review

I was a skeptic but now I have converted to the Straightening brush way haha. I really do enjoy using it and because I don’t get burned as easily I will definitely use this more than my straightener. Even though I do not have really curly kinky hair I have seen it used on that hair type and it works wonders as well. So with all that said in my opinion I think it will work on all hair types & it is worth the buy.

Here is my full review , where I show the Straightening Brush & I show you a full demo of me using it!

How to make short lashes look longer

Hello my Bondbeautys,
Im excited to talk to you today about some tips & tricks to making your lashes appear longer! This is honestly my mascara/ lash routine!
These steps are so simple and they just take a little longer than just applying regular mascara; but they truly make all the difference! I have a full video for those who are visual learners so check it out down below!

before & after

Step 1: Apply a lash serum before bed. The one I use is the Newyorkbiology Lash & Brow Serum. All you need to do is apply to lash line every night before bed. This helps your natural lashes actually grow and thicken! (it really works!)

Untitled

Step 2: Curling your lashes! There is a trick to this guys. First , use a good lash curler. Mine is from ELF it only cost me $2 but it still is amazing! It fits my eye shape well and doesn’t tug lashes! It also has a beautiful even curl. I like to curl my lashes 3 times before applying mascara. The first two times I curl it straight on and the third I will bend the curler upwards so it is at a 90 degree angle to my cheek! (See video for demo)

Step 3: MASCARA I love using a Fiber Mascara to really get my lashes looking thicker & longer! The mascara I love for this is the Limelight mascara. Unlike other fiber mascaras this one has enough product to really adhere the fibers onto your lashes. I don’t have any problems with the fibers being loose or flaking off into my eye! (And I have sensitive eyes) This one has really made a difference (full review on this mascara coming soon)

So I apply 3 thin coats of mascara. I know it seems like a lot but it really isn’t! You can do just 2 if you want. The last coat is the key to making your lashes look longer though! On the last coat you are just going to dab at the very tips of your lashes so that the fibers can really grab the tips making them look noticeably longer!

Step 4: Last curl your lashes one more time once your mascara is completely dry! This is where you need to be careful not to break your lashes or tug any out! Its so important to wait until your lashes are DRY! Then when curling make sure to only have curl them DO NOT clamp down all the way!

TIPS:  MAKE sure to slowly clamp down & release when using a lash curler so as not to pull any lashes out!

Here is the full video with demo footage so you can really see how I do it! I hope you enjoy!
