Lala Forth of July Lips

Red lips for the forth of july? well, of course!

i wanted to share with you, one of my favorite red lips as of late. "lala" lips as i call them, can be achieved by using Mirabella Velvet lip pencil. They have two shades of red but the "love" shade is a perfect summer red.

THESE LIP PENCIL'S ARE 23$ AND THE COLOR LAST ALL DAY! THE ONLY POINTER I WOULD GIVE IS TO BUY A PENCIL SHARPENER LARGER ENOUGH.

(PS: I OWN EVERY SHADE AND I GET ASKED ABOUT MY LIPS EVERY TIME I WEAR IT!)

Red, White and Hair Chalk

I ALWAYS HAVE CLIENTS COMING INTO THE SALON WANTING A "POP" OF COLOR OR A "PEEK-A-BOO".

THE PROBLEM WITH THESE FUN AND USUALLY PINTEREST INSPIRED IDEAS IS THAT THEY ARE NOT REALISTIC! 

WHAT PINTEREST FAILED TO MENTION, IS THAT YOU HAVE TO BLEACH YOUR HAIR ,  IT WILL FADE TO AN AWFUL COLOR AND IT IS EXPENSIVe!

i have the answer, my fun spirited and rainbow hair loving friends!

L'OREAL MAKES THIS AWESOME PRODUCT , IT IS LIQUID CHALK IN A BOTTLE. THIS WASH-OUT PRODUCT ADHERES TO THE FIBER OF THE HAIR. THINK OF IT LIKE "MAKEUP FOR HAIR".

This means, it will be vibrant even on black hair, no bleaching needing!

OH, AND IT LAST 2-10 SHAMPOOS. MAYBE DON'T SLEEP ON YOUR FAVORITE WHITE PILLOW FOR A COUPLE NIGHTS. 

IT COMES IN THESE AMAZINGLY VIBRANT COLORS. (PS: THE COFFEE BREAK IS THE BOMB.COM ON BROWN HAIR!)
