Cat Nail Art Tutorial

Hi,

Isn't it adorable? And it's so easy to do!
On the tutorial they use nude nail polish, but of course you can try any color you like. For more color-inspiration you can read our post about bright nail polishes that are great for spring.

Don't we all hate it when a nail breaks off? It can be so frustrating, especially when you finally have all your nails the right lenght and shape. Recently I saw a really helpfull video from CutePolish where she explains how she fixes her broken nails:

Nail Art Using Temporary Tattoos

Hi,

Two days ago there was again a very interesting tutorial from Cutepolish:



I really love to make nail art, but I'm not that good at making small drawings on my nails so I like the idea of using temporary tattoos. It's really easy, low budget and it look pretty cute too.
The ombre blue nails are also very beautiful, but are  not as easy to make.

Glitter Nail Art

Hi,

Time for another sparkly post! Last week we had two posts on how to create a sparkly New Years look and the only thing left to do to finish off your look, is your nails! About a month ago we made a post with Christmas nail art where you can get some inspiration from, but today we found something way more suiting for New Year's eve! New Year's eve is all about glitter, so we were happy to see this video from Cutepolish about glitter nail art. It's a very easy tutorial, but it looks beautiful!
Here it is:

DIY Lipgloss

Hi,

This year Maia got an amazing Christmas gift from a friend: DIY Lipgloss!
We didn't even know you could make lipgloss yourself until then, and especially not good one. But the lipgloss she got is actually as good as most other lipglosses she has. The main content is Vaseline, so it has the same texture and is equally good (if you want to know the uses of Vaseline, check out this post). As you see she coloured it pink and added an aroma to it. It doesn't give that much color to your lips, but most lipglosses are rather sublte so Maia doesn't mind.
Oh and the cute little M was made with a toothpick.

Maia hasn't got the recipe with which her friend made the lip balm, but she found a similar recipe on Pinterest. In the tutorial below they use beewax instead of Vaseline and lipstick shavings instead of pigment, so we don't know if it'll be as good. You can probably just replace the beewax in this recipe by Vaseline.

Holiday Hairstyles

Hi,

Christmas and New Year are finally comming! :) We're so excited! Yesterday we made a post about what make-up you should wear and we also have posts yet about Christmas nail art and this year's prettiest party dresses. So the only thing you still need to know is how to wear your hair!
We found some Youtube tutorials that explain cute holiday hairstyles and there's even one on how to make a Christmas flower crown. Enjoy!

How To Wear A Circle Scarf

Hi,

A few days ago we showed you a video from Accessorize on how to wear a blanket scarf. Now we found another helpful picture, this time on how to wear a circle scarf. Blanket scarfs are the newest trend, but circle scarfs are also still in fashion. Most people wear them doubled, so we tought we should show you some alternative ways:



We really like how she uses her scarf as a dress too. :)

How To Wear A Blanket Scarf

Hi,

In our spotted post about the model Ola Rudnicka we told you that blanket scarfs, the kind of scarf she's wearing, were about to be a great trend. And that turned out to be true. :) Maia bought one too (a black one from H&M) and she loves how many ways there are to wear it! To give you a little overvieuw, here's a video we found about it:



It's a video from Accessorize, where they sell a lot of cute scarfs too.

Make-up Brushes Guide

Hi,

Femke recently bought herself a new set of make-up brushes, wich inspired us to make more posts about brushes. :) Having good brushes is one thing, but using them correctly is equally important.On Femke's brushes there is written what they are for and they also have different colors according to what they're for. But not all brushes have this, so we tought it would be helpful to post a little make-up brushes guide. :)

How To Use Lipliner

Hi,

Lipliner is something that can look whether very chic or ruin a whole make-up look. You see a lot of people doing it wrong and there are also a bunch of girls who don't want to use it because it's pretty hard to do. Well here's something helpfull for both:



As you see the most important thing is to change the thickness in your line to have a more natural result.

All Different Types Of Curls And How To Make Them

Hi,

We recently found some really helpfull tutorials on WeHeartIt that show you how to make all different types of curls.















We're not really fans of using heat on your hair, but we think it's okay when you don't use it too often. For those who really don't want to use curling or straightening irons, we have some tutorials for no-heat curls (made with one braid, two braids, snake braids, a headband and a twisted braid).

How To Tie Off Your Braids Different

Hi,

Today we found another very special little thing on WeHeartIt! It's a picture of a braid tied of with a normal black rubber band, but instead of just tying it normally, the girl in the picture wrapped in a special, crossed way.
There wasn't a tutorial from it, but we tried it out and the only thing you need to do different is that every time you twist the elastic, you need to pull it down a little. By this you create these little crosses all the way down. It might take a while before you get it right, but it's actually a very easy trick :) It gives your braid a fun look and remember, it's in the details ;) And of course it's also good for when you can't find a proper small elastic.

DIY: Hair Flowers

Hi,

Our favorite hair accessories are definitely flowers. You can't have enough of them :)
On WeHeartIt we found a very good tutorial on how to make them yourself.
Just like the DIY Flower Crown (we made a post about that too), you don't need a lot to make it. Actually you only, need some cute flowers and bobby pins. In the tutorials they use roses, but we think you can use any flower you want.



We really love what the girl in the tutorial did with her hair :D

Game Of Thrones Inspired Hairstyles

Hi,

When Maia watches Game Of Throne, she's always a little distracted by the beautiful hairstyles. Some are very complicated and we're sure you can't recreate them without spending at least 3 hours braiding, but others are much simpler and just as beautiful.
On WeHeartIt we found tutorials to some of these. It's explained very well and not difficult te recreate. Here they are:

How to Correctly Apply Concealer

Hi,

A while ago we posted about Maia's new concealer, Time Balm from The Balm. It's a really great concealer: it covers perfectly and it looks so natural!
But a good concealer isn't everything. If you want your concealer to totally cover your dark eye circles, you first have to make sure you apply it right! Many people just apply a thin line direcly on their eye circles, but we recently found out that it's better to spread it out even more.



As you see, it makes a huge difference!

Braided Half-Updo

Hi!

We saw this tutorial on WeHeartIt for a Braided Half-Updo and we really loved it so we tried it out. Here's the tutorial:

Don't forget to check our WeHeartIt account for more tutorials! Here's what it looked like on Femke's curly hair:

 

As you can see it looks great on curly hair, but it's pretty on straight hair too. And it stays with the both hairtypes the whole day. You can make it very fast so it's perfect for school too.

Half-Up Top Knot

Hi,

All hipsters have been wearing the half-up top knot lately. So we thought it was the time to share with you guys this new hair trend. This hairstyle is so easy and it looks great with every hairtype: short or long, curly or straight. We did't put this in our Quick And Easy Hairstyles For School post yesterday, because we thought it deserved a post on it's own, but this hairstyle is also perfect to wear to school. Even though it's very easy to recreate, here is a tutorial that will teach you how to make this hairstyle:

Quick And Easy Hairstyles For School

Hi,

A perfect way to stand out at school is by wearing beautiful hairstyles. But unfortunately you don't have that much time in the morning and getting up super early just to do your hair isn't something anybody likes to do. So in this post we selected some quick and easy hairstyles that look perfect for school. First here are some videos of Youtube:

And here are some tutorials we found at We Heart It (you can go heart them at our account):

DIY: Flower Crown

Hi,

We recently found a really interesting tutorial on We Heart It. It's on how to make your own flower crown!
We both really want a flower crown and we went shopping for it, but both of us haven't found a perfect one yet... They're all too full, too empty, too colorfull, not colorfull enough,... So we were really happy to find this tutorial. Now we can finally make a perfect crown ourselves!

It appears that you don't need a lot. Just wire, a headband (they made that with wire too in the tutorial), something to cut wire with and a lot of cute flowers!
It seems to be very easy to do! Here's the tutorial:



You can heart this tutorial on our We Heart It page! :)

Now we don't know were to buy these flowers, so we haven't made one yet.. :s But we probably will!

No Heat Beach Curls

Hi,

We already made a post where Femke showed you how she got her no heat beach waves, but today she'll show you how to create no heat beach curls. Again we first want to mention that you may not get the same results as Femke, because everyone has a different hairtype. But you always should try it out first.

To create the no heat beach curls you first need to brush your hair till it's tangle free. Than separate your hair in 2 sections. When you did that you should make a rope french braid with each section down your hairline till you reach the back of your head (where the partline should be). That means that you basically need to rope braid your hair and every time you twist a section you pick a bit of hair with it. If you don't get it you should search for a tutorial on Youtube that will explain it step by step. When you rope frech braided both the sections you should gather your hair in 1 final rope braid. It should end up looking something like this:

Now you sleep wearing this hairstyle and when you wake up you can release your hair and you will have beautiful messy curls. You can't brush your hair, because if you do that you'll end up with soft waves, which is also pretty, but it's not the look we were going for. And don't worry because we brushed our hair before doing the hairstyle, so normally you shouldn't have any tangles. If you prefer not to sleep with it you can also make your hair a bit wet before you create the hairstyle and than after an hour when it's airdried you can release your hair and it will have the same result. But Femke prefers to sleep with it, because when she wakes up she will have perfect looking curls. This is how Femke's no heat beach curls look:

Aren't they pretty? Hopefully you will end up with the same kind of beach curls.
