Get Courtney Bingham-Sixx's Fab Wedding Makeup Look!





















I was insanely inspired after picking up the most recent issue of Inside Weddings, which featured Nikki Sixx and Courtney Bigham's stunning wedding. I had seen pictures from their wedding but I was dying as I was looking through their spread. Courtney's makeup was to die for and I wanted to share how to get her look.

Start off with your favorite matte foundation and concealer to create a flawless face. Apply Maybelline Age Rewind concealer under your eyes to brighten up the area. Apply a setting powder. Use L'Oreal True Match powder in True Beige to contour your cheek bones. Apply Benefit Rockatuer blush on the apples of your cheeks to add a pop of color.

Apply an eyeshadow primer and let set. Apply Jouer Cosmetics shadow in Mahogany all over the lids and blend up into the crease. Apply any ivory shadow to your brow bone for a nice highlight. Run the Revlon ColorStay liner in black lightly under your lower lash line. Blend with more of Mahogany. Apply the same Revlon liner to the outer third of your top lash line. Apply some false lashes and some Maybelline Falsies Mascara to top it all off.

Now it's time to fill in those brows! Using the Naked Basics 2 palette, mix the two darkest shadows and blend into your browns for fab definition. If you think it's looking a little too harsh, grab a qtip and lightly run it through your brows for a quick fix!

If you are as in love with Courtney's lip color as I am, you're in luck! Jouer's lipstick in Meg was the one she was wearing on her big day. It's a gorgeous poppy pink that will complement the dramatic eyes perfectly!

Is your skin looking extra dry with these harsh winter temps? Ditch those expensive lotions because you can get silky smooth and hydrated skin with just two products.

Go to your kitchen and grab the olive oil. Mix this was a dash of lavender oil for an instant fix for dry skin. It smells fab and will totally transform how your skin looks and feels!

Remember to use a sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin before moisturizing for maximum results!

My Top 4 Hairsprays Every Girl Needs!

*via How2Girl Instagram
I use hairspray practically every day. I've seen the good, the bad, and the downright crunchy. Every girl wants their curls to hold all day but not by sacrificing soft hair that you can run your fingers through. Today I want to share with you my top 4 hairsprays I absolutely love!

Euphora Uplift Finishing Spray - This has to be my all time favorite hairspray. It's a professional brand so it's a little pricey but it works so well! It holds any style (even overnight while you sleep) while keeping hair soft. And the best part, it smells amazing!

L'Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray - This stuff is kind of amazing, too. It has a strong hold and keeps hair super soft. It's still a little pricey for a drugstore hairspray but lasts a really long time. And that includes liberal use every day. The only downside is that the smell isn't the greatest.

Bed Head Hard Head - This is a heavy duty hairspray for those tricky styles. If you thought your hair couldn't hold curls before, try this bad boy! It will keep every piece of hair in place throughout the day but can make hair a little crunchy. Fun fact: Nikki Sixx uses this hairspray. So you know it has a strong hold if his hair stays in place during a 2 hour rock concert.

Garnier Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray - The most budget friendly option. It works well and doesn't have a strong scent. I can't say it keeps my hair perfectly defended against extremely humid, summer days but it will hold curls and control fly-aways.

Look Polished With Little Effort! Inspired by Emma Roberts.

I have been loving American Horror Story Freak Show! When I saw Emma Roberts' makeup for this season, I thought oh my god! It was so simple but so flawless. I knew it would be the perfect look to recreate that would be quick and easy to do in the mornings before work. And the best part is that red lip, making it even more perfect for the holiday season!

A bold lip and a subtle eye always make you look like you put much more effort into your makeup than you actually did. It's one of my favorite tricks! Especially when I'm really tired in the morning and want to get those extra few minutes of beauty sleep.

Start with a full coverage foundation and set with a matte powder. You know I love my Revlon ColorStay and Rimmel Matte Powder. Add some Maybelline Age Rewind concealer under your eyes. Emma doesn't have much contouring going on but I always add a little under my cheek bones and along my jaw. My new favorite is the neutral tone L'Oreal True Match Powders.

As always, prime your eyes and let dry. Take the Wet N Wild trio in Sweet as Candy and lightly apply the crease color all over the lid and up into the crease. Also, apply this shadow along your lower lash line and blend. Take the Revlon ColorStay Waterproof liner in Black and smudge into the outer half of your upper lash line. Apply some Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara for a final touch!

Use Indie Flick by NYX to achieve Emma's bold lips.

Loosely pull back the front section of your hair and secure with bobby pins. Grab 1-1 1/2 inch sections of hair and curl the bottom half of your hair with a 1 1/2 inch curling iron.

And there you have it. A super quick, easy, and polished look!

How 2 Revive Your Old Nail Polish!

Nothing is worse than reaching for your favorite nail polish and twisting off the top only to realize it is that horrible thick, gunky consistency. Last night, I had this happen to me. I was not ready to part with one of my favorite OPI glitter polishes so I decided to revive it using a tip my friend taught me forever ago. All you need is a bottle of nail polish remover, which I'm sure you already have around your house.

Take the top off of your nail polish and place it to the side. Pour a little bit of the remover directly into the nail polish bottle. Screw the top back on and shake it up. Start with a small amount of remover and add more as needed. I have ruined a nail polish or two by pouring too much remover into it. Once you find that perfect consistency your polish will be like new! Worked wonders on my glitter polish and now I can rock my holiday sparkle nails!

Fashion Inspiration: Candice Swanepoel

Tomorrow night is the broadcast of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I love all the glamor, the glitter, and of course, watching the gorgeous models strut their stuff! Candice Swanepoel is absolutely stunning and I die over her style. With the fashion show just hours away, I wanted to showcase some of my favorite Candice looks! She will definitely be inspiring my fashion choices this holiday season!
