Music:

I’m probably going to be evicted for blaring the new No doubt track on repeat day and night, but I could careless. I’m so pumped about their new cd that I’m organizing a Gwen Stefani party for all my fellow Gwenabees! I call ROCK STEADY GWEN!

Hair:

Kevin murphy color bug: Pink

This color bug is perfect for a girl looking for some part time pink hair! It’s super easy to use and washes out right away! Recommended for lighter hair types, and girls who dont mind getting a little chalk on their clothes.

Beauty:

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Strips

I know what you’re thinking, Christina said these were terrible. But listen guy’s she tried to use them while driving! After giving them a second chance we realized we both LOVE these bad boys. Not only do they have tons of adorable patterns but they also last days without chipping! They are also extremely easy to apply, even if you’re driving!

Fashion:

If boy’s can look good in bow ties than girls can look even better. The fact that i just realized you could pair a bowtie with almost any dress you own and have a perfect outfit is blowing my mind. I’m planning outings just to spend more of my time rockin’ a bow tie.

Song:

I love this song by Ellie Goulding! Every time I hear it, it makes me want to run and dance around in a huge field!

Beauty Product:

I have been using this for a while, and I just realized how important it is in my makeup routine. I probably lean on it a little too much, but I can’t help it. It really makes any makeup look 10 times better. (I may not act like it) But I do know that sparkles aren’t usually appropriate for every occasion, but with this super skinny applicator you can make it look really modest and not to new years eve-y.

Hair:

This last month Anna has been putting a bunch of different blonde highlights in my hair with the intention to eventually lighten it all the way blonde. Now it is finally the color I want and I have started using a lot of products with toner in them. I started using Its a 10 leave in conditioner a long time ago and I have ALWAYS loved it. It makes my hair feel so soft and never weighs it down or make it oily like other leave in conditioners do. Anyways this one is the same as the other its a 10 that I used in the past, but it has toner in it. After just one week of using it I could really tell a difference in my color. It looks a lot healthier and brighter. The moral of the story is: if you haven’t tried this wonderful product (that literally does everything) then go out there and get it!!!

Nails:

I am straight up OBSESSED with this color! Its called “Mod About You”. I can NEVER decide to go with white or pink for my pedicure. So finally OPI has answered my many prayers with this pastel white-ish pink . So now I am totally MOD about this color

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

Is your mascara getting way to clumpy way to soon? Well, fear no more! We have a solution to your problems! Saline Solution! 

If you find that your mascara is getting thick and hard to apply and you don’t feel like spending your pennies on a whole new product then all you have to do is put a few drops of saline solution into your mascara and mix it around with your wand. This will break up the mascara and give it a smoother substance. However, you must be careful when putting it in. Try mixing it with every new drop you put in or else you will end up with liquid eyeliner and a really weird applicator to go with it.

Lets face it, we all weren’t born with big beautiful eyes like the Queen of perfect features: Angelina Jolie. However, just because we weren’t born with them doesn’t mean that we don’t deserve them!!! Here are a few tips that we love to use to make us look like doey-eyed angels. Also, feel free to leave some of your own tips and tricks in our comments!

Tip #1: White Eyeliner! I know you have heard us say this before, but we can’t stress it enough! Every girl should have this within her reach at all times! If you just apply it to your inner bottom lid you will not only look like an angel, but also it gives the illusion of a bigger/rounder eye. So if you don’t already have this in your collection, here is a great one that is super affordable!

Tip #2: BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND! Make sure that when you are using more than one color you always spend enough time blending. eye shadow lines can be really distracting and take the focus away from the shape of your eyes. Make sure to invest in a good blending brush, and that doesn’t mean it has to be expensive! One of our favorite blending brushes we got was from Walgreen’s!

Tip #3: Mascara Tricks! When applying your favorite mascara, stroke the brush towards your nose. This will give your lashes a fuller look and also make your eyes appear wider!

Song

Wild Ones – Flo Rida & Cia

I freak out every time this song comes on the radio, and I start performing like I am Cia.

Face

Siriusonic Skin Care System. I recently recieved a Siriusonic as an early birthday present and I LOVE IT! It has all different heads that you can attach depending on what kind of mood your skin is in that day!
It makes your skin feel so refreshed and new! You just pair it with your favorite face wash and you are good to go! I recommend this for EVERY GIRL! Especially ones with tumultuous skin types.

Cant Stop, Wont Stop

Im not proud of this, but frankly I can’t help it. Really, its netflix’s fault for putting it on my instant queue right after finals. I started on episode one (season 1) and now I am already on season 3. So, while I would like to tell you that I cant stop, wont stop on the treadmill… I just can’t lie to you.

Hair

The Chi Air!! I have been wanting this for so long and I just got it as another early birthday present! It is so incredible. It makes your hair look super healthy and it is just a million times better than any other straightener I have owned so far.

Song

Luke Bryan – County Girl
Look, I dont have to explain my love for country music to anyone. Ma and Pop’s are arkansa folk, so I’m allowed to dance around my room to catchy country songs whenever I please. Don’t judge me.

Fashion

90′s grunge
I don’t know if there is anyone who loves the 90′s more than Christina and I. From the amazing high school teen flicks to the flannels tied around the waist. I’m  beyond thrilled to see that 90′s grudge is back for the attack. My middle part is finally socially acceptable.

Hair

Chi hairspray I’ve been on the prowl for the perfect hairspray for years, and I’ve finally found it! I start off every morning curling my hair and need it to stay curled to the wee hours of the night. This hairspray keeps my curls in tact and has only minimal crunch! Plus it smells like candy, and who doesnt want to smell like candy?

Makeup

Embrace me! This lip liner is my favorite color anything, ever. When M.A.C. released it for the Iris Apfel line I went crazy. I wore it daily! Well until I realized they we’re completely sold out and I would have to pay 45 dollars on ebay for ONE pencil. Luckily for me, Jesus really loved me and they relaunched the lip liner in the Beth Ditto collection. I stocked up and have my new summer color! Thanks Jesus/M.A.C.

Cant stop, wont stop 

Watermelon!

Summertime is here, which means so is watermelon! A.k.a. my favorite thing in the WORLD! I’m ready to sit back, sip watermelon margaritas and paint my nails bright pink, green with black seeds in the middle!

We bummed you out with our make up DONTS! Now it’s time to pump you up with our Summer 12′ DOS! Here are some looks we recommend everyone tries at least once.

#5. Glitter girls

Glitter will forever be questionable for some girls. We totally understand, you do not want to be associated with a stripper, who does? Glitter doesn’t have to be rubbed into your body with baby oil or sprayed it in your hair like a thirteen year old girl on her first trip to marine world without her mom. Blending a little sparkles over your eyeshadow or on your upper cheek bone is a great way to spice up a neutral look. Plus everyone secretly loves glitter, no matter how much they deny it. Who doesn’t want to reflect in the sun?

#4. Don’t be catty.

Almost every girl in the world has mastered her favorite black cat eye. As have we, but we’re bored ya’ll! I understand it’s your “statement” look, but mix it up. Try adding some color, switch your black liner with a teal! Hate color? Add a metallic gold or silver. Anything but a basic black line, it’s summer ladies. Woo us!

#3. Orange you lookin’ good!

Red lips are a classic look, that most of you doll’s can pull off. It’s also a look that’s been around since Marilyn Monroe was breakin’ hearts. Try swapping your bright red with a orange or coral! It’s summer time and we think your makeup should reflect how happy you are and how warm it is! Live dangerously, go orange.

#2. Whi-ner

Wearing white eyeliner is probably the smartest decision you will make of 2012. When used on the upper lid, the white attracts light and opens up the shape of your eye, whereas a black liner can make it look smaller. Applying, daily a 99 cent white Wet N’ Wild eyeliner, will change your life. Not only will your eyes look bigger, but you will look like a straight up angel at all times. That’s just a fact.

#1. Neon, come on!

We get it, a bright hot pink neon lipstick isn’t for everyone. Okay, we really don’t get it, because you guys probably didn’t even try it, you’re just assuming it doesn’t look good. Well you’re probably wrong. It’s shocking how good neon colors look on you. Maybe you all around hate lipstick, try a electric blue eyeliner, or hot pink blush instead! Not only will you look tanner, but everyone will have to stare at how good you look. Honestly, all the dark colors we see are bummin’ us out. Let’s all promise right here, right now we’ll wear at least one neon look this summer. Pinky promise? Pinky promise. Just try a hot pink or orange lipstick…. we bet you’ll like it.

 Allergy season hitting you hard? Boyfriend just break up with you? Theresa and Jacqueline fight leaving you downright depressed? Listen, you dont have to explain your red eyes to us, and you shouldn’t have to explain them to anyone else either. All you have to do to  hide those red eyes, is take your favorite color blush and apply it higher up on your cheek bones, and closer to your eyes. This way the redness in your eyes wont stand out against your normal skin color. It will blend in with the blush.
