How to Style Hair Without Heat!


Dead ends- Dull color-Burnt-Dehydration.

 Words I HATE when I’m on the topic of hair! Now all these things can be caused by a lot of different things, but one of the main causes can be heat damage! So don’t lie! We all burn up our hair from time to time-it’s just in our nature! Now, we usually burn our hair when we’re trying to impress people! All I can say is GUILTY!

So why don’t we talk about how we can fix this big disaster, and still get the hair we want!

Let’s say you’re going to hang out with a few friends for a movie, and you want to look like your staring in it! Big curls are always fun, but sometimes they can be hard to do. How do we make it easy and get that salon look? Rollers!! Yes, I said rollers. They aren’t just those gross things your grandma puts in her hair! They can be really helpful when you get the best  ones.The rollers I could find at a good price are Conair, and I found them at Target for around eight bucks! Your hair can be dry or wet and you can have them I for one hour, or wear them over night (Remember the longer you wear them the tighter the curl). You can have tight curls, wavy curls, spiral curls, there are just so many options!!

Wanting sleek straight hair that will last? After your shower, take your fingers and start shaking up your hair! Move from root, to tips, and then whip your hair like Willow Smith! Once your hair has been shaken till its damp, brush it through with a wide tooth comb upside down (It may sound weird but it works!). 

Over all, it’s best to style without heat, and stay away from heat tools! Now that doesn’t mean to never use them again, it’s just best to take a break form them every now and then! And always remember, your natural beauty looks best!

The Perfect Shade of Red


Red - the color of passion, confidence, and love. Everyone loves a good red lipstick; it makes us feel like rockstars when it looks great on us and gives our outfits just that little extra dramatic boost.

Then tragedy strikes - we see the color in the store and think “Oh, that would look nice on me”. We buy it, then when we put it on we think “OH DEAR GOD THIS IS NOT RIGHT!”

For the longest time that had happened to me (and I’m sure to many of you) until I learned the secret to finding the perfect shade of red lipstick.  And it has to do with two little words: “Silver” and “Gold”. Yup, that’s right; all you have to do is determine if you look better in silver or gold. 

TIP: If you look better in gold you have a warmer skin tone. If you look better in silver you have a cooler skin tone.

If you have a cooler skin tone, go with blue-based or coral reds (let's think Amy Adams). Wine shades, burgundy, and dark brick reds compliment darker skin tones the best (Can you say Rashida Jones?). NOW…for those lucky enough to have that special skin tone where both gold and silver look dy-no-miiiiitte on you, you can pretty much rock all of these colors and look fab.

Bish, bosh, bash, SORTED. Now, for a few tips for application. Red lipstick is the biggest fiend for “bleeding” off your lips, so a lip liner is highly recommended with this color. Lip liner is not supposed to be noticeable so go with a shade that is your lipstick color or slightly darker (this adds definition when it's darker and keeps your lipstick where it ought to be). Lighter lip liners generally cause lips to look 2D but  is great when you just need to outline your lips before getting to the heavy stuff. 

If you are looking for a more precise shape that follows your natural lip line or are painting a new shape to them (Which is crazy talk, btw. You're natural lip shape is perfect the way it is!) a lip brush does the trick. If you’d like your lipstick to stay on a little longer, try applying your favorite non-greasy moisturizing lip balm before application so it will cling. Don’t forget to blot!

I hope this was helpful to you! I’d love to hear in the comments what you guys thought and how this worked out for you! Also, if you guys feel like being the absolute DOLLS you are, go ahead and leave some suggestions for what else you’d like to see or what you guys need help on in the comments or send 'em to our email (go.lovely101@gmail.com)

See you Lovelies next time!
Love and rockets,

What Colors to Wear, and Where to wear them!


Hey Lovelies, Sam here!

If you’re going off to the mall with friends, having your first job interview or going on a date, it can be hard to pick what outfit and what color! Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing!

Let’s say you’re walking into your first job interview and you really want this job! Now keep in mind, you don’t want to dress like you own the place, yet you don’t want to look like you don’t care! A pop of color is always needed! So through on a cute black pencil skirt and an appropriate blouse with a pop of color, and maybe a cute black blazer. This shows that you can be professional but still have a big and friendly personality!


Next scene! You’re going on your first date with a guy who really likes you for you! The mistake girls always make is putting on too much of, well… EVERYTHING! Overdoing your make up with bright colors isn’t necessary o a date! YOUR FACE ISN’T A COLORING BOOK! You want him to see you, so put on natural colors (Always remember that make up is a beauty enhancer not a beauty coverer)! As for your clothes, wear bright color that still looks flattering, but not a tight dress that you can’t even breathe in! Wear something beautiful, yet comfy like a fashionable red dress!

Our last scene, mall day!

Now when you’re going to the mall with friends I suggest that you have fun with make-up and hair, I mean its girls day right?! However with clothes I always think it’s fun to wear a bold colored top with some black leggings (Remember you are going to try on clothes so they need to be easy to take on and off!)


Overall, you want to wear things that feel like you, not someone else! And when using color have a blast, but don’t go too crazy!

Remember I want to know your thoughts, so leave a reply in the comment box!
 That’s all for now but I’ll talk to you next time lovelies!
