3 Simple & Impressive Hairstyles to Become the Prom Queen

Hello guys!

How are you?

We are finally coming almost to the end of our little Prom Series as this is the second to last post considering Prom. I hope you still enjoy reading these posts and that you find them helpful. So today I want to share with you my Top 3 Hairstyles for Prom. There are a ton of lovely hair tutorials on Youtube and I admire everyone you can create such an amazing work with their hair. I would consider myself as being totally untalented in this, thus, I choose quite simple, basic and easy hairstyles that still look sophisticated and like you have spend a ton of time in front of the mirror. So let's have a look.

Hairstyle No. 1 - Braided flower bun

It goes without saying that Lilith Moon is the most talented hairstyle guru on Youtube. She creates amazing hairstyles and one of them is this beautiful braided flower bun tutorial. It looks actually harder than it is which is great because you can look absolutely breathtaking and amaze other people with your skills without actually having any. ;) This look is great for the formal part of Prom and would look great with a dress that has some detail going around your chest. A nice updo also always look a bit more formal and will enhance your beautiful collarbones.

Hairstyle No. 2: Romantic Half updo

Another beautiful style by Lilith Moon which is now a half up half down hairstyle for all of you who want to get the front hair out of their face, but still want to show their beautiful hair. This look is simple, but looks romantic and cute and the glittery hair grips give the look the extra touch. I would say that this look suits to a romantic girly dress and if you are more on the cuter side :)

Hairstyle No. 3: Sexy Side Swept

Another amazing hairstyle guru is Imogen from Foxylockextensions. She sells her own extensions but also shows incredible hair tutorials on Youtube and one of these is this simple but sexy side swept inspired by Kim Kardashian. The side swept is a quite basic hairstyle for formal events, however these curls are not that tight and accurate, they are softer and looser and transports this sultry and sexy look. I would recommend this version to everyone who wears a "sexier" dress and isn't afraid of playing with ones femininity. 

So these were my Top 3 simple, but sexy and romantic Hairstyles. I am going to choose one of these hairstyle, however, my favourite is currently hairstyle No. 3. There are plenty of other beautiful hairstyle tutorials on Youtube, so I highly recommend browsing a bit over there. I hope you liked my choice and let me know which hairstyle you are going to wear?

Wish you a wonderful day!

The Perfect Make up for the Opera

Hello guys!

I hope you are doing well!

I know that going to the opera is not a typical visit or something that especially teenagers or young adults do every weekend, however, I wanted to share with you my make up that I wore while I was going the opera last weekend. Because of my parents, I have the opportunity to go to the opera quiet often, which I also do when I have time. In the opera you want to look sophisticated, elegant without being too sexy, so a dramatic smokey eye isn't appropriate for it. Thus, a winged eye liner look is just perfect for this event.

The Look

In detail:

✯ matte beige eyeshadow all over the eyelid

✯ matt white eyeshadow in the inner corner and under the brow bone

✯ rusty matte brown eyeshadow softly in the crease and along the bottom lash line

✯ black liner from the centre of the upper lid outwards, keep the wing rather small

Close-up

I stayed with matt eyeshadows as I find that they look the most sophisticated. Make sure that the winged liner is not that dominant, it should rather serve to make your lashes appear thicker. I also filled in my eyebrows and used mascara.

I kept my lips as usual pretty nude my wearing the Catrice Ultimate Colour Lipstick in 190 The Nuder The Better and applied a clear glittery gloss by Maybelline on top. 


So that's it for today. I hope you liked this little "Make up of the day" and perhaps you want to go to the opera right now just in order to wear the make up :) 
Do you go to the opera several times a year?

Wish you a wonderful day!

5 Stunning & Photo-Friendly Prom Make up Ideas

Hello everyone!

How are you? 
Welcome to the third part of my Prom Series in which I am exclusively going to talk about make up and which make up look I find the most flattering during prom. If you have missed my previous posts of my Prom Series about finding your perfect neckline (Link) and finding your perfect dress according to your body type (Link), then have a look there.


So, if you look in Youtube and type in         you will find a lot of amazing Prom Make up looks from real make up artists or ordinary people that share tutorials for a makeup specifically for Prom. For example, Lisa Eldridge shows a professional look (Link) as well as the Pixiwoo sisters (Link) also with a red lip (Link). But because you can find these tutorials so easily, I want to show you other tutorials that are not primarily designed for Prom, but still absolutely appropriate for it. 

Look #1 - The Classic Look

This is a very classic yet elegant and pretty make up that suits to every dress. It makes you look fresh and sophisticated and can also be combined with a red lip. By the way, this lady reminds me so much of Leighton Meester. :)

Look #2 - Demi Lovato Makeup Tutorial

This look is pretty similar to the one above except of the fact that the liner is much more thicker and heavier, thus, this look is a bit more dramatic and also focuses on a dewy skin. This look suits to any dress again and is perfect for you when you want to dramatize the classic make up a bit.

Look #3 - Amanda Seyfried Oscars Makeup Tutorial

Because of the purple eyeshadows, this make up is different than usual ones, but don't be afraid of using a bit of colour as this look still looks amazing and breathtaking. Even though there are no harsh liner or bold eyelashes involved, this look is absolutely striking. However, I wouldn't choose this look when you are wearing a dress in this colour range. 

Look #4 - Millie Mackintosh inspired wearable smokey eye

I would describe this look as being actually a wearable smokey eye for everyday, however, I find this look so flattering, sexy and outstanding that it is definitely appropriate for Prom. I can imagine this look being combined with a dress in warm colours or with golden details or worn by someone with a rather golden skin undertone.

Look #5 - Jennifer Lopez Makeup Tutorial

As this is by far one of the best make up tutorials on youtube, it shouldn't be left out in this Prom make up idea list. This is a beautiful, brown and golden dramatic eye make up that suits to a dress in warm colours or with golden details again. It is a unique version of a regular brown smokey eye and will make you appear elegant, but sexy in the same time.

So these were my make up ideas for Prom. I still haven't decided which of these I am going to pick for my graduation party and in fact, I have to choose two make up looks as I have to attend to two graduation events which, however, are on the same day. But that's another story. So I hope you found this a bit helpful and tell me which make up look do you like to wear on official evening parties?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

How to Find The Perfect Prom Dress For Your Body Type

Hello everyone!

How are you? Next week I am going to my prom dress resp. I intend to buy it because I feel that it will be really hard to find a dress that suits me perfectly and that I really like. Thus, I informed myself about which dress would suit my body shape beforehand and I thought I might give you an overview of all body types and examples for each one. Of course, there exist more body types than these four, but I think your perfect dress can be deduced from these suggestions. This is the second part of my Prom Series. If you missed the first part in which I talked about how you can choose the perfect neckline of you dress according to your body type, then have a look here. (Link) 

Petite Body Type

✧ stay with short dresses
✧ sweet, feminine
✧ avoid a lot of fabric on the bottom

Athletic & Rectangle Body Type

✧ create an illusion of curves by enhancing your waist
✧ ruffles especially on bust and hips
✧ show you athletic body with form-fitting dresses
✧ two colours

Pear Shape

✧ highlight your upper body e.g. eye-catching neckline
✧ ruffles or special detail on the top
✧ go for a full skirt on the bottom

Apple Body Type

✧ empire waist dresses
✧ solid colour
✧ try to include fabric on the bottom
✧ avoid bandage dresses or anything that highlights the midsection

Hourglass Body Type

✧ can wear almost everything
✧ enhance your waist with a waist band
✧ dress that is fitted on top and waist
✧ A-Line skirt or mermaid dress

Okay, these are my suggestions when you want to buy a new prom dress, however, you can also apply that to buying a normal dress. I hope that this might help you during your shopping. But again, as I have mentioned in my first Prom Series post, it's all about feeling comfortable and self-confdent and when you really like a dress, then just buy it. Nevertheless, it is also nice to highlight your best features and to really get the best out of your body. 

How did your previous Prom Dress look like?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Happy Easter!!!

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow is Easter and because I will be on my way to my family right in the second when you read this, I want to wish you a happy easter as I am not at home for the whole weekend. Whether you are celebrating this time out of religious reason, want to spend a bit time with your family or just take the chance to get some rest, enjoy yourself during these two days and keep all your stress away.

I know, that visiting the family can be a bit boring and enduring, but always remind you that the family is a part of you that will always be there you when you need help. They will always forgive you and will love you in a special way. And don't see these visits too serious, make the best out of it and you'll see that the time will fly.

Because I am going to be away during the weekend and on monday, the next post will be up on tuesday. It will be the next part of my Prom Series, so keep an eye on that.

Again, I wish you a wonderful easter or at least, some peaceful and restful day!

Love, 

How to Find The Perfect Dress Neckline For Your Body Type

Hello everyone!

With this post I want to introduce you to my new Prom Series that I am going to do during the next weeks. I have my final graduation party coming up and this is quite similar to Prom and as we don't have the typical Prom here in Germany, I thought it would be a nice idea to share with you my best tricks and tips for Prom. So today we start with how you choose the perfect neckline for your prom dress according to your body type in order to enhance all your beautiful features.

If you don't know which body type you are, then click here and I will give you an easy instruction how you can find this out.

 The Necklines

Sweetheart 
Good For: hourglass, apple, fuller bust, nice neck
Avoid: if you are not comfortable with your neck area

Strapless

Good For: medium bust, toned arms, nice collarbone

Avoid: too small or too full bust, broad shoulders, fuller arms

Square Neckline

Good For: athletic body type, broad shoulders, small to medium bust
Avoid: large chest, narrow shoulders

V-Neck

Good For: hourglass, apple, fuller bust, full-figured, broad shoulders, large chest

Avoid: pear shape, if you want to draw attention away from bust

Spaghetti Straps

Good For: pear shape, narrow shoulders, smaller bust

Avoid: apple, athletic body type, hourglass, large shoulders, fuller bust

One-Shoulder

Good For: pear shape, nice collarbone, toned arms

Avoid: athletic body type, broad shoulders

Bateau
Good For: pear shape, narrow shoulders, smaller bust, nice collarbone
Avoid: apple, fuller arms, broad shoulders







According to your specific body features and your body type, you should be able to find your perfect neckline. Personally, I have an athletic body with broad shoulders and a smaller bust, so a square neckline would look best for me. However, if you find a beautiful dress that you totally adore, but it doesn't have your specific neckline, just get it. At the end, it's all about feeling self-confident because that's what people will recognise the most. I hope this was a bit helpful and let me know whether there exists prom where you live.

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Shape Up for Christmas in 24 Days - The Advent calendar challenge

Hello everybody!
The advent time has started this weekend which means that we are finally in the christmas time and you might have already opened the first three doors of your advent calendar. Yes, I did so too and according to all the sweets and heavy meals that almost everyone starts to eat during this season and then desperately longs for a thinner body in the next year, I thought about a little challenge. This challenge is like your personal advent calendar because the challenge will last 24 days. 24 days of healthy clean eating with few christmas exceptions, 24 days of during sport regularly, 24 days of shaping up for christmas.

I am not talking about self-mortification and indulging all the christmas treats while others eat everything, which is the reason why I would call it a "lighter" challenge. Christmas cookies and other treats are a part of this christmas time and help to get into christmas mood and to really enjoy the time. Thus, eat your christmas treats, but in moderation. Keep in mind that you are on a challenge to get in a better shape till christmas so that you deserve the christmas meal and maybe also look a bit better in your christmas dress. So activate the competitive feeling in you and open with every new door of your advent calendar a new day of your personal health and fitness challenge. I swear, people will be jealous of your achievements!

So this is actually a challenge in which I participated today. I will keep you updated with my experiences and results. What do you think about this idea? Do you think such a "lighter" challenge inspired by a personal advent calendar might inhibit your christmas mood?

Wish you a wonderful day! Love,

Clubbing Fashion Haul + Online Fashion Tip!

Hey guys!

As the New Years glamorous fashion session starts, we can find lots of sparkly and sexy outfits in the stores. Because I also needed some clubbing outfits really urgently, I started searching in various online shops and started with the usual ones like Asos, Zara and H&M. However, I only found a few pieces in every store and I didn't want to order from several online stores. And then, accidentally I went to Vero Moda's website. I always declared Vero Moda as being casual, too ordinary that tries hard to be kind of stylish. However, what I found was amazing, completely fulfiled all my wishes even after trying it on.

I firstly bought a basic burgundy tank top for 10€ because it's just a basic item in a beautiful colour. The top is not see-through and is a bit longer. 

The highlight of my haul: the black mini dress with net detail. I love this dress because of the ruffles on the décolleté it creates the illusion of a bigger bust. Also the net detail is something different than the really popular and kind of boring lace dresses.

This is definitely part of the New Years fashion trend, but I searched for a sequin skirt for a long time. The special thing about this mini skirt is that it is not only black but also has some grey, browns and purple sequins which makes it even more interesting.

Another eye-catcher and perfect for clubbing is this cream beige sequin top which suits perfectly to a black mini skirt as this model wears it.

So this was my whole purchase. Have a look a their new collection here or just browse through their website because they definitely have a lot going on there especially if you want to have some cool and sexy clubbing outfits.

I hope you liked this post & comment below what is your favourite clubbing outfit?

Wish you a wonderful day! Lots of love,

Berry Lips & Winged Liner - Heading To the Opera!

I know that this is not a usual activity for adolescents on a sunday night, but I am going to go to the opera tonight. I received the tickets as a present, but I am actually really excited about going to the opera. I personally prefer plays, but if it is nice classical music, then I also really like operas. So today I want to show you which make-up I wear to the opera, but you can wear that to any other occasion and even as an everyday fall look.

The make-up

1. light rosy e/s in the inner corner and to the middle of the lid

2. shimmery golden rosy e/s from the middle to the crease

3. a cooler satin taupe in the crease & blending

4. black winged liquid liner along the upper lash line

And finally, the eye catcher of the whole look: Rimmel Moisture Renew Vintage Pink Lipstick.

In reality, the lipstick is a lot darker and more mauve, almost lavender. This lipstick makes this look to a night look for me, but if this lip colour is too bold for you, you can just tap it onto your lips for just a tiny bit of colour. However, it is such a cliché, but when it is colder outside I start to wear darker lipsticks even though I am naturally really scared of wearing "darker" lipsticks. (They are actually not that dark, but bold enough for me ;))

So this is my make-up for today, let me know whether you sometimes go to the opera or whether I am the only weirdo? 

Wish you a wonderful day!
Lots of love,
