Vintage Tip- Winter Protective Style

 Hi Friends!

Although, we're firmly in the clutches of a frigid winter, this girl still likes to look decent.

Over the Valentine's Day weekend, the boo and I decided to chill indoors with some wine and a few movies.

I thought I'd still dress for the occasion, and it gave me the excuse to try out my new Sephora Collection Cream lip stain in Polished Purple.

At the store, while I stood in front of a vanity mirror, debating on whether to pick it up, a beauty consultant stopped by to grab some other items for her customers.  She glanced at me and whispered devilishly, "Get it!"

Oh?  Okay, done!

  I didn't really even need her prodding lol.

Though the stain is incredibly pigmented, the consistency as a matte cream is very drying to the lips.  But, I'd still recommend it for you bold lippie girls out there.

I decided to whip my hair into an easy updo.

The style can double as a low maintenance protective style for the rest of the week, if I chose to keep it in for that long.

The Technique

Since my hair had both been freshly washed and freshly unraveled from the threading, I lightly remoisturized with the eva.nyc mane tamer leave in cream.

The hair was sectioned on the right, and loosely braided into four sections- two braids on each side.

Afterwards, I pulled the braids apart, loosening them further, for an even fuller effect.

 The braids were pulled backwards, and secured with bobby pins.

Some adjustments, here and there...

 et voila!

An impromptu hair style that came out pretty cute, for Vday.

 What did you guys do for Valentine's?  Leave a comment below.  I'd love to hear from ya!
