Quick & Easy Effortless Waves Tutorial | HAIR

Hi Everyone!

This is how I do my messy, beachy, effortless waves on my short (grown out) blunt cut bob. I recently just got this colored, so I'm spending more time trying to add some texture and style to my hair since I've always been so lazy before.

Leave any questions that you have for me, but I do hope this is a good explanatory way of showing you how I do my hair!

By all means, I am not a hair-stylist/specialist/ PROFESSIONAL, so this is just the way that I do that I find easiest, at home, with what I'm most familiar/comfortable with.


Thank you for stopping by the blog : ) link to the Hair Tutorial is HERE.




Hope you like the video!! Thank you for watching, if you did <3

First Week of October -- Done!

Ahh, how I love the feeling of Fall/Autumn. Especially knowing that we are officially one week into October. Although, it still feels like SUMMER in Los Angeles, I know that Halloween is right around the corner and I just can't wait to get more and more into the spirit of it. Something about October + Halloween + Fall/Autumn, always makes me feel some typaaa way =P

If you haven't seen it already, head on over to my YouTube Channel to watch my latest video!


My Fall Eyes Make-Up Tutorial is live, now! And the star of the show is this beautiful new shade from MAC's MAC-nificent collection called "Everyone's Darling" matte eyeshadow.




I've been looking allover the place for a color like this and have finally found it, thanks to the new collection at MAC. I loved their blushes, but figured I didn't need anymore burgandy/red blushes (since I never use them for my cheeks only for my eyes, haha.)


Also, another thing I've been loving is this new Liquid Suede Matte Liquid Lipstick from NYX in "Vintage." Suuuper Duuuper in love with this color!! And probably cheapest liquid lipstick I've ever purchased; retailed at $7.00, in which I picked up at the NYX Grand Opening last Friday @ The Westfield Santa Anita mall.


Oh and in case you're wondering where to get some adorable glitter pumpkins as a decorative piece-- I got this one and some mini ones that are a copper-y tone and a light orange tone at Joann's Craft Store. This picture was posted on my Instagram, just in case you are curious, you can follow me at @kellsies where I post my daily pixs and the other Instagram dedicated to all things beauty is @beautybykellytran :)


With the most dearest and sincerest love,

Goodbye September, Hello October!

I'm so excited to finally find some time to blog & film! I've finally found some leg room to squeeze these two hobbies into my busy schedule! Being a full-time student and employee while struggling to keep up with a healthy + active lifestyle WHILE managing a social life, is quite a lot for me.

Now that its 10 months into 2015... I'm following up on my goals that I created for myself at the beginning of the year, hehe.

So after watching Jaclyn Hill's Fall Favorites TAG, I decided to do go ahead and tag myself! You can watch the video by clicking >> here!! << Watch me ramble on for 15 minutes about my favorite things for Fall :)



I stumbled upon this quote yesterday, by a girl that I follow on Instagram, which kind of motivated me to film+edit+upload today...

"There are people who dislike you because you do not like yourself." Instagram post via @sincerely_mels  And as her caption she put: "Not everyone is gonna like you... Like @desimakeup once said haters gonna hate creators gonna create."

It's crazy how a simple post/a few words can inspire me to do things that I've been holding myself back from. It's a scary thought to think that anyone and everyone could be watching and judging as I share my honest thoughts/opinions about beauty products, but I've always wanted to do this; and if I don't do it now- I never will.

Hope you enjoy the video; let me know your thoughts!! If you do like, please subscribe so I know that you want to see more :)



With the most dearest and sincerest love,
