Easy Headwrap Updo

Easy Headwrap Updo | Alicia Keys Inspired

by Rochelle March 1, 2017

I’ve always loved the natural beauty of Alicia Keys. From her beautiful curls to her makeup free skin. In the last recent months, I’ve enjoyed her hairstyles that include headscarves so I thought I would include a quick tutorial on how to get the look. Here’s one way to do an easy headwrap updo.

What You’ll Need

Elastic Ponytail Holder

Large Colorful Silky Scarf

Easy Headwrap Updo

Begin by gathering all of your curls up near the top of your hairline and securing it with an elastic. This is also known as a pineapple ponytail. It looks great to have the ponytail off center to add a bit of flair. Next, fold your scarf a couple times to make it long and rectangular. Starting at the back of your neck, center the scarf along the nape of your neck. You want to make sure that the size of your scarf covers from your hairline up near the base of your ponytail. Bring the two ends of the scarf to the front of your head and tie a simple knot.

Silk Headwrap

Then, wrap the two scarf ends towards the back so that they overlap and back to the front again. Depending on the length of your scarf, you may have to wrap it a couple times until you’ve come near the ends. Once you’ve reached the ends of the scarf, tie another knot and tuck in the ends.

Adjust and fluff your curls using your fingers or a hair pick. The final look should be asymmetrical.

The Perfect Winter Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

by Rochelle January 20, 2017

With the cold winter weather, skin changes and often needs a boost of moisture. That’s why I want to share my perfect winter skincare routine. My skin is on the normal to dry side and I love to have a dewy finish all year long. However, it’s not that easy now that I’m 24 weeks pregnant. At times, my skin and hair do feel a bit drier than normal so certain changes need to happen. Here’s what I’m doing to combat my dryness:

Winter Skincare Routine
Makeup Removal

The magic happens at night when I typically apply the most products. If I wear makeup during the day, my first step is to remove it so I’ve been applying the Yes To Coconut Ultra Hydrating Melting Cleanser to dry skin. Let me tell you that this takes EVERYTHING off even waterproof eye makeup and lipstick. After applying, I use a wet washcloth to wipe away all of the debris.

Cleansing

If I’m not wearing makeup or for a deeper cleanse, I continue with Juice Beauty’s Stem Cellular 2-in-1 Cleanser and then rinse well. The stem cellular collection is listed on their website as a product that is great for a healthy pregnancy. Not to mention it contains a blend of vitamin C and fruit stem cells that are infused into an organic resveratrol grapeseed base. It’s perfect for my anti-aging regimen which is why the majority of my routine includes this line.

Tone & Moisturize

Next, I spritz the Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist to tone and refresh and then smooth the Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Booster Serum onto my face and neck. As a neck treatment, I apply the Stem Cellular Lifting Neck Cream in upward strokes to help minimize the appearance of fine lines. Lastly from this line, I apply a pea-sized amount of the Stem Cellular Anti-Wrinkle Eye Treatment around the orbital bone of my eyes.

Recently, I discovered Shea Moisture’s amazing skin care line purchased their Raw Shea Butter Anti-Aging Moisturizer. It exceeded my expectations by providing deep hydration at an affordable price. My favorite combo is a cocktail of that cream with 2 drops of Gio Naturals Rosehip Oil.  After smoothing it on, the result is clean, hydrated skin that glows into the daytime.

Cranberry & Copper Holiday Party Makeup

by Rochelle December 1, 2016

The holiday season has offically begun! If you’re not quite sure how to change up your makeup, try this cranberry & copper eyeshadow look that’s sultry and soft.

Products Used In This Tutorial

Too Faced Love Flush Blush-Your Love Is King
Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette
Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette
Too Faced Perfect Eyes-Perfect Black
Too Faced Perfect Lips-Perfect Spice
Laura Mercier Lip Glace-Black Cherry

Get The Look

After applying my complexion and brows I applied a cranberry shade eyeshadow in my crease. Well, actually it’s not an eyeshadow but a blush from Too Faced in the shade Your Love is King. Next, I use a fluffy blending brush to buff out any harsh edges.

Then, using my Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette I apply the shade White Chocolate along my brow bone. Next, I deepen the crease with the shade Cherry Cordial using a pencil brush. I also smudge this shade along the lower lash line. To soften the application I blend in the TF Your Love is King shade in my crease again.

Next, I rim my waterline with a black eyeliner (Too Faced Perfect Eyes-Perfect Black) and apply a shimmery copper eyeshadow (Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette-Peanut Brittle) to my lids. Then, I apply a black liquid liner, black mascara and a pair of falsies.

For my cheeks, I used Your Love is King and on my lips I lined them with Too Faced Perfect Lips in Perfect Spice. To add some shine to my lips, I used a light application of the Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Black Cherry.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this look. Let me know down below in the comments.
