♥ Braid Out & Red Lips

Hi Everyone! This is a scheduled post so when you read this I will be working a 12-21.00 shift which I hate. It's such a random shift and it takes up my whole day.

And I haven't mentioned it yet but I work at Zara in central London since I finished college! :) 


For this look I've used Maybelline Gel Liner (Review Here), Natural Collection red lipstick, BodyShop Bronzer, and my hair is curly/wavy from a braid out. 



Hair update: So as I mentioned in THIS post I am growing out my naturally curly/afro hair. To prevent breakage and be able to see how long my new growth is, I've stopped blog drying my hair. I now airdry my hair, and in the even I do a dry or damp braid out (which just means you plait your hair in 6-8 plaits over night). My hair is too thin in the ends and slightly to short to wear this style out, it looks okey in the last pic, but it doesn't really work yet. So I usually wear my wavy hair in a ponytail or in a bun.

It's funny how no matter how much I plait and curl my hair now, my relaxed hair (which is almost my whole hair ends up straight anyway. And to think I thought I needed to use heat before when I wanted it to be straight. How ironic.
