MESSY PONYTAILS

Smitten with these two messy ponytails. Great inspiration for me since my hair has been getting pretty long and I don't like to spend too much time on it. Then again, knowing me, I'll probably spend an hour trying to get that piecey look and top bump just right. Don't know if you noticed, but the second shot is of Jennifer Aniston- she always has amazing highlights/color.

BEAUTY CRUSH: COVERGIRL X SOKO HOW-TO VIDEOS

Currently crushing on Covergirl's how-to videos featuring French singer and actress, Soko. Her song I'll Kill Her has been one of my favorites ever since college, so I was happy to see her featured- loving her newly bleached hair!

Covergirl used their new Flamed Out collection to give Soko four different beauty looks- the sleek glossy eye and the bold lip above, plus a smoky eye and a no-make up look. I can't decide which I like the most, they are all styled so great as well. Which look is your favorite?

WHITE WINTER
