New Years Eve- Style me Up with Sparkle!

Habitually these two haute hippies are against girly glitter (except, of course, in eyeshadow).  This New Year's, however, we are going for it.  We crave copious expanses of feathers, and glitter GALORE. 


Check out our NYE inspo below!


What will you wear?? 

olive oil: an obscure oblectation

olive oil... you probably cook with this enchanting elixir, but little do you know...it can be slathered onto your hair, lips, and skin for a bevy of brilliant uses.  


asher: from damaged do to haughty hair...

asher's hair is super long and has been dyed quite a few times recently.  a great culprit of damage is the ever fun, but ever damaging blonde dye.  if you dye your hair constantly as we do, (there may be few that change their hair color as often as tee...) do what asher does, and mix a teaspoon of olive oil into your weekly hair masque.  we recommend the creme de cocoa masque by bumble and bumble. On a tight budget? Dont stress it, adding a cap full of olive oil to a palm full of the cheapest conditioner will still do the trick! Leave it in your hair for 4 minutes after a shampoo and continue with your normal rinse. Do this three times a week to revive those thirsty strands. 


tee: for lips as luscious as tee's, use olive oil on your lips. 

It's not worth hiding it, my lips are large. With any change of season, dehydration, sleep deprivation, or illness my lips have the tendency of swelling.  Unfortunately, by swelling i mean double and tripling in size (just ask my friends). Thus, the causal effect leaves my lips dry and chapped. Instead of using your average chap stick that will be sure to eventually dry your your pout out even more, i slap a finger full of olive oil on my lips. Not only does this provide my lips with a beautiful and moisturized shine, but it lasts hours...and my boyfriend isn't shunned away from dropping a few kisses. 


I also have a terrible habit of leaving mascara on for days. Yes, Im a light sleeper. Nearing day two or three, my lashes start clumping and im forced to scrub my eyes and reapply. However, scrubbing can be quite damaging on your lashes. So, afterwards i spread a thin layer of olive oil on my lashes just as if I was putting on eye liner. This helps keep your lashes strong and thick. 


Tee's Ma: (for anti wrinkle and flawless skin)! 

Yes, this dear angel is 51 and without a wrinkle! She's never had a facial, chemical peel, fillers or botox! Her secret? Olive oil. Sure, a gift of genetic makeup may take place, but can you resist this recipe for flawless skin?


How does she do it? After washing her face, my mom applies olive oil in her hands and rubs it into her face using circular motions. She applies more coats on her trouble areas (in between her eyes and where her ears meet her neck). She lets this soak over night twice a week and rinses with cool water in the morning.


She also applies this all over her body and down her neck (as your neck ages 7 years faster than your face. Take note, ladies!). 


Ive recently adopted this regiment into my daily routine after i was struck with the deathly hallow of turning 25. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received on my skin just in the past week. Olive oil will be SURE to give you that glowing, dewy fresh face that we all want and deserve.


Ok- so you might have sensitive skin and are hesitant to the idea of lotion and oils? Well, olive Oil contains a natural moisturizer called squalene. Sebum is what makes our skin too greasy and frightful. However, squalene has the miraculous ability of regulating its secretion. This means that, when use on your skin, the sebum will be reduced and you will experience less skin problems than before. Blemishes will be nothing but a bad dream after you apply plenty of olive oil.


Still not convinced? 


Among the natural antioxidants to be found in olive oil, there are A and E vitamins, as well as some polyphenols, well known for their ability to postpone aging. By taking out free radicals, freed in the body, these special agents are guaranteed to prolong your life, as they contribute to cell repair. The same thing is valid when you apply olive oil on your skin. As you may well know, our skin is many times exposed to pollution and other factors that cause it to grow older. By caring for skin with olive oil, you will limit the actions of these factors, and enjoy a beautiful skin for a long time.

Things we like: Red-Ponies

Gimme some Red Ponies! 


Dassss right, Hippie darlings! Bold lips and simple hair are our go-to this holiday season-mainly because it well suits the vice of lazy days. 


Throw your hair back in a pony, strap on a blazer and let your lips do the talking. 


Here's some aggrandized red looks that we think are rad.

Color from yo motha: Reds for Skin Tones
Honestly, going red is trial and error.  Most 'experts' deem oranges a perpetrator of hate on fair skin tones and maroons glorious on olives. Trouble shoot your own color palette and you'll learn what looks best on you. Here's what we used. 

 Having completely different skin tones, we both found (unknowingly) that CoverGirl's 305- Hot Passion worked well on both of us. I found it tempting mainly because it was fairly easy to smooth on my lips, while Asher went straight for the dominance of his bold hues. Hot Passion is a well diversified loyal man..

305-Hot Passion by CoverGirl (This would be cuter if my hair was up)

Scared to go Red? Don't be. You may think you look like a crazed clown at first- but lets face it, its impossible to hate a classic look. If you are fair skinned (with plump lips, like myself) opt for red lips with a clear gloss on top to water down the color. 

Stila makes great Reds that work for beginners. Try a stain- its more than a gloss but less than a lipstick. 


We like Stila Cherry Crush. 

Other Notable Reds we LOVE: 
Mac- Russian Red
Loreal Infallible- Le Rouge 
Cover Girl- Tempt


Lipstick often gives you that dry feeling that makes you timid towards conversation or confidence. Try moisturizing your lips before you know you are going to smack on some color. Vitamin E And Honey can go a long way. Just smudge some on your lips. Add a tea spoon of sugar for a great DIY exfoliation. 


Lip stick smearing? Try taking some aerosol hairspray and giving it a quick spray on your lips. This works wonders on glitter lips.  


REMEMBER: Red is Ravishing so let it speak for you. Go simple with hair and makeup. A little red is all you need.
