My headphones broke the other day so that seemed as good as excuse as any to decorate another pair. The result was some floral crochet.

So what you need:
What do you guys think of the headphones, I think there are so many variations of these I want to make now! |
This is a series of videos in collaboration with Celeste from Becoming Beautiful where we try different styles on her in 2-3 minutes. This particular one the braided updo I wear all the time ^_^

How To Do A Braided Summer Updo
Welcome to another episode of Styling Celeste where I try out random hairstyles on my unwitting victim. lovely friend Celeste.
Today’s style is a plaited updo.
First brush and part the hair into two sections.
Celeste’s hair has purple streaks from when we were playing with Illamasqua pigment.
Plait each side.
Pippi Longstockings ahoy!
This part is pretty boring so don’t be surprised if your friend seems to be dozing off a bit.
Pin the plaits to the top of the head overlapping.
See the description for a link to a full tutorial.
It helps to have a very cooperative model.
She looks like an adorable marionette, who could resist being puppet master? Mwahaha.
For decoration you can use anything, the more flowers the better.
And here is the cute end result.
Of course having a cute hairstyle gives you licence to do silly poses!
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
Well we’re back from IMATS/ABBW and it was a hell of a trip! As it turned out the hotel didn’t have internet access so I couldn’t update other than through the mobile blog sorry! Typically my Twitter app was broken too so I could see messages but it threw errors when I tried to reply >_< Technical and traveling drama aside I’m so glad to be home!! I got some awesome footage, great photos and had a wonderful time so I’m editing them all now to post.
In the mean time while I work, enjoy some photos of the Tamagotchi I deco’d 😀 Hurrah for reliving your childhood! I’ve got lots of plans for this now it’s completed but for now here’s how I changed a red one into a pink and purple one ^_^
|
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend too and if I met you at IMATS/ABBW please come say hi in the comments so I can follow your blogs! |

Fun Summer Fimo Fruit Nail Art Instructions
This video is a reader request: using Fimo slices for nail art.
Start by applying a coat of pink glitter polish. You can see how badly my acrylics have grown out, I need to get to a salon asap!
The polish I’m using is a very sheer jelly so I needed 3 coats to get the colour I wanted.
Make sure that each coat is dry before you start the next.
So when you’re done you should have something along the lines of this.
Now it’s time to glitter the hell out of them.
You will obviously need some loose green glitter for that.
And clear polish to act as glue and sealant.
Take a small container and pour a good amount of the glitter into it.
It needs to be deep enough to fit the nail tip in.
Paint clear polish on following a line as if you were painting french tips.
It doesn’t need to be perfect so no need for a special brush.
While the polish is still wet dip the nail into the glitter.
The glitter will stick to the wet polish so when you pull it out you should have a glitter tip.
Continue painting each tip with clear polish and dipping into the glitter. You’ll notice that it’s not a completely opaque coverage soin a minute we’ll do a second coat.
I would definitely suggest putting down some paper or something to catch the glitter fall out.
Even with that I was picking up random off things for weeks afterwards.
Brush off the extra glitter, I’m using an old make up brush.
Now once it’s dry, if you feel it’s not bright enough then add a second coat.
Coat the tip with clear polish again and then redip it in the glitter.
Brush it off again and you’ve got super glitter.
It might be a little bumpy so if you prefer you can press it into a smoother shape while the polish dries.
We will use some more clear polish to glue the fruit down.
Draw a fairly thick line of polish along the edge of the glitter.
Using tweezers, place the fruit along the line and press them into the wet polish.
You might need to experiment with different types of fruit to fit correctly.
Continue placing fruit until all of your nails are covered.
Wait until it’s completely dry and then we’re almost finished.
The last step is to give it a nice top coat.
Make sure to get into all of the little nooks between the fimo so it seals in the fruit nice and tightly.
Once it’s all dry, you’re finished.
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
Bye!
A new segment I’m trying out where in I show my morning make up routine for various days and chat about what I’m doing that day. Not really a tutorial, more of a random girly chat while we get ready together in the bathroom 😉
This is my day’s worth of beauty for a trip to Adelaide including 2 plane trips.

Welcome to a special morning make up edition.
This issue/episode/whatever I’ll take you through how I get ready, did two hair styles and took it all out for the Adelaide Beauty Conference.
We start at around 6am at my apartment. I had put my hair up into pin curls the night before and tied it all in a scarf.
Shower and getting dressed then moisturiser and primer.
This early in the morning I’m not laying much attention to the order I’m going things in.
I wear minimal make up for the plain trips so I can sleep in later.
Foundation, highlighter and blush.
I prefer to spent more time on hair in the mornings because I can do manke up on the plain but it’s harder to do hair there.
Undoing pin curls.
This time I only did a couple on each side because I knew I would have time to mess with them later.
Basically I just unpin them, brush through each to remove any kinks and retwist them with my fingers.
Nice and easy.
I’m pretty much on auto pilot this early in the morning.
I don’t function or smile much without my morning cup of tea and breakfast.
Brush the top layer of hair to get rid of any separation between the curls.
Straighten the fringe and maybe the top parts if there are pin marks.
Add a pretty headband, spray it and finished.
Simple and classic.
For extra bonus points tease the underneath of your fringe so it doesn’t split during the day.
Super magic time travel!
Ok so now we’re on the plain and I was feeling a tiny bit more awake.
This is my set up.
Firstly eyeliner, brown, top and 1/2 of the bottom.
I like flying, it’s nice to have with a couple of hours to myself with no interruptions.
Sparkly highlighter under the brow.
The flight to Adelaide was really quick though.
Light purple shadow all over the lid.
It felt like we were hardly in the air for 20 minuts between take off and descent.
Read the full description in the captions or the blog post.
This is a series of videos in collaboration with Celeste from Becoming Beautiful where we try different styles on her in 2-3 minutes. This particular one was the last we did that day and we were just randomly experimenting with different things. It’s a bit crazy but still fun! Lots of plaits, ribbons, extensions and randomness ^_^

How To Do A Big Random Ribbony Updo Hair Style
Welcome to another episode of Styling Celeste where I try out random hairstyles on my unwitting victim. lovely friend Celeste.
Today’s style is a random big ribbon and plaited updo.
We were winging it for this style and making it up as we went along.
Start by sectioning the front from each ear to the top.
Clip some ribbons and hair extensions at one ear.
Braid from one side of the head over to the other.
This takes a while.
Pull the rest of your hair into a high ponytail.
Add some more ribbons and extensions.
Tease the hell out of the ponytail and pin most of it up.
Leave a couple of strands hanging down.
Plait a couple of strands which are left down and pin them around randomly.
Loop any extra ribbon through the hair randomly.
Taadaa random ribbony updo.
Now see how we get rid of all that teasing.
Celeste’s hair has only ever been teased twice so it’s so super easy to undo,
I hope this was a useful video, please check out the blog post linked in the description for more information and tutorials.
Thanks so much for watching.
