Christmas Party

I sort of have a Christmas party with the people at a cross stitch group I go to in Cambridge.

 Since it's Christmas I wanted to dress up a little. Red lips, a little bit of green on my eyes, and curly pigtails. I wanted to do ox horns but my hair wasn't cooperating. Ox horns are two little top knots on the side of your head. Think Sailor Moon!

I like this though, it works for me.

I'm anxious to drive on my own. My friend has surgery yesterday and isn't feeling up to coming with me tonight, so I'll be doing the half hour drive by myself. Multi-lane roads are just freaking me out right now.

Self-Diffuse

I went out last night with Lola for dinner and we were going to see a movie, but her bird had a scare, so I went on my own. Penguins of Madagascar was AWESOME and I recommend it to anyone.

Since I was going out, I wanted to look good, so I did my hair and makeup. Nothing too fancy.

A diffuse blow dry is a way to enhance natural curl. I'm planning on doing a diffuse on all three of my mannequins to show the difference between extremely curly hair, curly hair, and wavy hair.

My hair is between wavy and curly, with some damage towards the ends. So sometimes I get a lot of curl, and sometimes I get a little. Last night I just got a little bit of curl, but I really liked how it turned out.

There is a TON of product in my hair there. I have a curl shampoo from Beyond the Zone (awesome products! They're at Sally Beauty), and a mix of FOUR different finishing products, including two from BtZ, one from a line they carry at my school, KMS, and a Tresemme finishing hairspray.

I went very neutral with my makeup. My foundation was a pressed powder from Pur Minerals, blush and nude eye shadow from MAC, and eyeliner and brow set from Too Faced. I didn't bother with anything on my lips because I knew we were going to have Thai food and I love noodles, which can be a little messy.
