Twilight Hairstyles: How to get hair like Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene, Robert Pattinson...

I found this bit of information the other day and thought the Twilight fans would enjoy it. My apologies to my non-Twilight fans.

If you are interested in the hairstyles of these Twilight stars, you can watch the PRO Beauty Tools tutorials below in which the Twilight styles are recreated by Academy Award Winning Lead Hairstylist, Beatrice De Alba.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 that premieres in November will be featuring PRO Beauty Tools' Twilight Limited Edition styling tools. The Twilight Limited Edition collection include a Ceramic Ionic Dryer, Ionic Steam Hairsetter (Rosalie), Ceramic Curling Iron (Bella), Ceramic Flat Iron (Alice/Esme), Ceramic Detailer (Edward) and corresponding brushes.

What are your thoughts on the hairstyles? Or the Twilight movies in general? I may never go see the film, but I am definitely a fan of Ashley Greene.

ASOS White Favorites and Giveaway

I asked some of you earlier last week to share your favorite ASOS White pieces for the ASOS Giveaway. Here is my favorite item from the ASOS White '11 collection:


A new season requires new wardrobe essentials. Autumn is my favorite reason and I am all about the cardigans. I really adore the minimalist yet sleek design of this piece. Rather than playing down an outfit as many cardigans tend to do, this one adds some color and can seriously spruce up a look. I am anxiously awaiting my next paycheck to do an ASOS clothing and makeup haul.

ASOS offers free shipping both ways to the US with no minimum purchased required.

Remember that Handmade Reviews is currently hosting a giveaway for $250 worth of vouchers to ASOS. You have until September 30th to enter. :)

MAC False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara (October 6, 2011)


M·A·C False Lashes Extreme Black Mascara

 
Available October 6, 2011 in the permanent collection
$19.00 U.S./$22.50 CDN

Intensely inky, this lightweight, innovative mousse-like formula saturates lashes in a carbon-black pigment that promises the deepest, darkest, richest look imaginable with full long-lasting coverage. Each stroke of the unique double-lush brush creates vixen volume and lift by filling in sparse lashes, magnifying and multiplying magnificently. Long-wearing polymers quickly coat from root to tip, keeping lashes supple and flexible – never brittle.

This mascara will be released in North America on October 6, 2011 and internationally starting January 2012. I know MAC mascaras get a bad rep, but I am really excited for this mascara. I'm a fan of the dark, intense lash type of look. What do you think? Will you be forking over the money to give this a try?

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Review

I have been wanting to try the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser ever since I heard Vivianna rave about Liz Earle skincare.
I received a starter kit that contained the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, two Muslin Cloths, and a bag. I admire the minimally classy packaging and the whole feel of the brand. Before I go into details and review of the cleanser and brand as a whole, I just want to let you know that I am in love with the Liz Earle Muslin Cloth! It is made of pure cotton, so it isn't an amazingly unique item... but oh, Liz Earle definitely sold me on this product for life. I don't know how I allowed myself to live my entire life without it! Let me explain: To clean, you apply the cleanser on your face, warm the cloth with warm/hot water and then wipe your face. The feeling of the hot cloth on your face is the most beautiful feeling ever! I almost didn't want to take it off. I swear, the first time I put that hot cloth on my face, I closed my eyes and wanted to lie down. It was like going to a spa. Liz Earle or not, do try the whole hot towel on your face technique. (But be careful because you want it hot, but not burning hot.) What better way to end an evening then relaxing your makeup off your face?

At first I was a little skeptical about the Muslin Cloth because the cloth seemed tough when dry. Once wet, however, it was soft, lovely and perfect for wiping my face clean. The Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser compliments the cloth well. It feels like moisturizing lotion on my face. It is gentle, yet cleansing when accompanied by the friction of the cloth. It removes the very last smidgen of makeup and makes me feet quite pampered. My face never feels stripped and no cleanser residue sits on my skin. I don't know if it is all in my mind, but I think the cleanser actually makes my face look more radiant and clear! I really, truly, recommend this for those looking for a gentle cleanser, although I recommend using a makeup remover first if you are wearing heavy makeup. You don't want to scrub all of that makeup on your cloth.

Liz Earle Naturally Active Skincare is a Great British beauty brand that ships internationally. There are many methods of ordering, including online, in stores and over the phone. You can learn more about various methods or shop directly online by visiting us.lizearle.com or uk.lizearle.com. A starter kit costs $24.50 and includes a 3.3 fluid ounce Hot Cloth Cleanser, two Muslin Cloths, and a pouch to store it all. Considering the cleanser will last a while and the cloths are washable and reusable, that's not a bad deal at all.
