Prom season is the perfect time to get your elegant prom dresses ready. Achieving a perfect prom look is a must as it is one of the most important events that a young woman like you can ever attend. To get you carpet ready for one of the biggest days in your high school life, here are some important styling tips to keep in mind.

Tailored To Perfection

The key to looking amazing in your prom dress is the perfect fit. Sadly, you cannot be able to achieve this if you will get off-the-rack elegant prom dresses. If that is the case, your bets option is to have your gown tailored to perfection. Make sure that you talk with an expert tailor that will have your dress fit you like a glove!

A Balanced Look

The key to looking elegant in your prom dress is to keep it balanced. If you have chosen a dress with plenty of details like lace, sequins or beads, then it is recommended that you opt for simple pieces of jewelry. In the event that you have chosen a simple dress, then you should go all out with your accessories. You can opt to choose a statement necklace, chandelier earrings or chunky bracelets. Just choose one statement jewelry so you can avoid overdoing your look.

Mix and Match

Just like with your accessories, you should also try to mix and match with your look and your dress. If you are wearing a bright colored dress, it would be best if you will keep your makeup as subtle and neutral as possible (and vice versa).

The Complete Package

To complete your look, you should plan your makeup and hairstyle in accordance with the style of your dress in mind. Think of a theme and choose a dress that would be perfect for it. After that, look for beauty inspirations that will match your dress well and do a trial makeup to make sure that you will achieve the right look.

Everything in Its Proper Place

Wardrobe malfunction will surely be the death of you. If you are not used to wearing long and strapless elegant prom dresses or gowns with a deep neckline, then there are some precautions that you should take. To make sure that your dress will be in its proper place (and your boobs will not show up), use a double sided tape to secure your neckline.

Braless is The Way To Go

Achieving the perfect prom look also means that you should avoid unwanted straps from showing. With this in mind, going braless during your prom night would be the best thing that you can do. After all, most prom dresses will already provide you with the support that your breasts need. Plus, doing so will allow you to move freely without worrying about your bra straps showing.

Follow all of the styling tips that we have mentioned above and you will surely be the darling of the crowd (and get everyone’s attention) on your prom night! Go get that crown, girl!

If you have poor eyesight, whether you are shortsighted or longsighted, suffering from astigmatism, glaucoma, or just have trouble reading a book, then chances are you will have to wear a pair of spectacles. Now considered a firm fashion favorite, the choice you make regarding your glasses is as important as choosing a new hairstyle or new suit. So, what type of eyewear should you be wearing this year?

When it comes to spectacles, no style is too outlandish or too plain, too old-fashioned or too modern. The only thing you must do is choose a pair of glasses that suit your face and your coloring. This means first analyzing your face to determine which shape it is. For example, if you have a round face, all your features will be softer rather than sharp, so to add some structure to your face, your ideal spectacle shape is rectangular. If you have a square face, you want to add softness, so choose spectacles with rounder, thinner frames that are slightly wider than your cheekbones. Heart-shaped faces will look great in a classic wayfarer frame, and if you have an oval face then you are really lucky, because you can wear pretty much any shape of frame, from rectangular to completely round. However, you cannot go wrong if you opt for a frame that is slightly oversized and has a bold shape that will stand out.

Do not worry that your poor eyesight prohibits you from indulging in high-fashion spectacles, either for ordinary glasses or for sunglasses. Most optical companies are able to supply tinted prescription lenses suitable for creating sunglasses, so all you need do is choose the frame you like. There really is no need to let eye conditions get in the way of looking great in a trendy pair of specs. For example, if you suffer with cataracts, then you can have these removed with Nashville cataract surgery, a procedure that has now become routine, and then wear whatever glasses you wish.

With so many frames available, your biggest opportunity to be bang on-trend is with the color or pattern of the spectacle frames. When choosing a color or pattern, it is a good idea to consider your skin and hair color, as well as the style you feel comfortable in. For example, paler skins often suit naturally colored glasses, such as browns and greens, while darker skin tones will be complemented by bolder, even brighter shades.

You should also be careful about choosing a frame color that clashes with your eye color. Most eyes are enhanced by a frame color that is in contrast to their eye color, especially if the eyes are brown, but be careful if your eyes are blue or green, as you will need a dark contrasting color, or else a color that is the same as your eyes and in the same tonal range. Pale green eyes will not look good with lime green frames, for instance.

Always consider your own coloring in terms of hair, skin and the makeup you habitually use, when choosing a pair of glasses, to ensure you end up with a pair that show off your best facial features rather than obscuring them.

Starting your own business can be an exciting experience, but also challenging. However, the process of setting up a small beauty business does not need to be as daunting as it seems. Beauty is a popular area for people considering setting up their own business, and while it can be hard work, it can also be very rewarding.

Before you get started, there are a number of things that you will need to consider. Firstly, you will need to start planning your business. A business plan is one of the most important parts of setting up a new business. Think about your goals and how you will go about achieving them. Your business plan is not just essential for the first stage of setting up your business but also for your future, and will need to be reviewed and adjusted as your business develops.

The next thing to think about is money. You may have some savings stashed away that you are planning to use to help you cover the costs of getting your business up and running. If not, then you may want to consider getting a loan. There are many costs involved in running your own business, including equipment costs, advertising costs and travelling costs if you are planning to set up a mobile beauty business. There are a variety of companies that provide business loans, so it is worth having a look around to see what would best suit your personal circumstances.

One of the advantages of setting up your own beauty business is that you have a number of options when it comes to deciding where your business will be located. You could run your business from home, have a mobile business or rent commercial premises. Exploring the different options will help you to decide what best suits your situation.

You will also need to think about marketing. This is one of the most important aspects of any business, as marketing and networking will not only help you to create a brand image but also to reach your target customers. You can easily find a printing business that offers professional business cards, directly from their website. Other marketing methods that you can consider are leaflets and social media. Facebook is particularly useful for a fledgling business looking to expand its customer base.

Once you have created your business, there are steps that you will need to take to ensure that it succeeds. A beauty business will involve constant interaction with customers, so you will need to make sure you build up a good reputation. Keeping your products, equipment and beauty salon in good condition will help to increase your appeal. As your business grows, it may be worth considering hiring extra staff and delegating different tasks to make your business more manageable.

While setting up a beauty business will be challenging, having a good business plan and marketing strategy will help you to increase your chances of succeeding and enjoying all the advantages of running your own business.

Seriously guys, how stunning is the new limited-edition Hourglass Surreal Light Palette for Holiday 2016? Aside from the lovely brand new, never before seen shades in this palette what I am also loving is it's gorgeous marbled effect packaging – which we all know is such a huge trend in the blogging world especially on Instagram. This palette will be arriving at Space NK this August.


As always, I will update you guys once I've gathered more information regarding this new product.

Three new really great and exciting beauty products from Origins, Nudestix and Tarte worth giving a try.

Origins Skin Essence with Dual Ferment Complex, $29.00

This potent, multitasking essence lotion is fortified with a dynamic dual ferment complex to enhance your skin’s radiance with its blend of willowherb and Persian silk tree. It provides weightless, oil-free hydration that softens and soothes so that skin looks instantly brighter and vibrantly healthy.

Nudestix Skin Glossing Pencil, $24.00

This innovative multitasking Skin Glossing Pencil provides translucent shine and natural glow without adding color. It’s formulated with 30 percent, super-hydrating lip-protecting plant oils derived from rapeseed, sunflower, cottonseed, and soybean. Lightweight and translucent, it leaves lips with a cushiony feel.

Tarte FRXXXTION Stick Exfoliating Cleanser, $22.00

Get your quick Frxxxtion fix with this three-in-one exfoliator, cleanser, and face mask all in a portable, solid-to-suds stick. With a clarifying cleansing gel powered by the Rainforest of the Sea™ complex and suspended diatomaceous earth microexfoliants, the vegan-friendly formula draws out surface oil and reduces shine, while purifying pores for the deepest clean possible. Great for all skin types, it can be used on a regular basis without stripping skin’s moisture or left on as a treatment mask to absorb toxins and reveal smooth, glowing skin.
