Red Lips and a Messy Bun


                                
                   

I woke up late this morning which only left me like 5 or 10 minutes to get ready and get out of the door, (Story of my life!) This meant that I didn't have time wash my hair which had seen better days so not only was a bound to look dead and sleep deprived at school I was almost certain to have greasy hair!

But, "Is it a bird?" "Is it a plane?" "No, it's super...er...bun!"

Okay well maybe a messy bun isn't a superhero but in your time in need it's a life saver (your social life that is ;))

After quickly whipping my hair into a messy bun, I ninja-ly applied some concealer, eyeliner and mascara, nothing fancy just de-zombifying myself.

A messy bun is often my go-to hairstyle;
> It keeps my hair out of my face and out of thought so that I can move on with my life without constantly correcting my fringe or parting. This is very convenient for school or work.
> It hides my many bad hair days.
> and personally I think it looks quite nice. On the rare occasions that I have a good hair day, where my hair's lovely and voluminous, and still do a messy bun it can look quite tumbr-ish when put with a cute tumblr looking outfit :)

On the way home from school I got the inspiration to do a blog post on this look as I wear it a lot.. it's probably my most worn make-up look, I really like it! So when I got in I added foundation and my beloved red lip.

[please excuse my failed attempts to be poesy ;) and the bad quality of photos.. I'm still learning xD]

   
I've been loving this outfit ^.^ my jeans are from Topshop and my shirt is from primark :)

The products I used:
[ ^^^ wow I need to broaden my horizons XD]

hair: brushed and backcombed with a tangle teezer and then sprayed with hairspray
I usually use a dry shampoo for texture and volume but I ran out..

(these two have weird lighting but it shows the colour of my lips better :) )

       

        

                                            
.... and this is what happens when I realise I suck at posing.. enjoy!
