The dutch braid is much like the French braid, only it’s ‘inside out’. If you’ve already mastered French braid, you probably won’t have problems with the dutch braid. The main difference is that you braid the sections of your hair under the braid, instead of crossing them over the top. This technique puts the braid on top of the hair. Dutch braid can be done with 3 or more strands. To make your braid extra thick, you can use hair extensions.

It’s December which means that we have officially entered the season of gift wrapping. The exterior of the gift is just as important as what’s inside, especially when it comes to Christmas gifts.

As much as we love Christmas patterned paper, it can get expensive. Brown paper is cheap and comes in big rolls. The best part about wrapping with brown paper is that you need to be creative to put everything together.

The possibilities for prettying up a brown, kraft paper package are almost endless. Paint, washi tape, ribbons, old photos and pine cones are the most popular options to make a Christmas gift even more special.

Check out our top 18 ideas for wrapping gifts with brown paper:

 1. Old photos + Brown Paper

 Brown paper and old photos are perfect combination! Wrapping needs to be simple because photos show themselves off. Ribbon, twine and seasonal greenery are great touch but photos make the gifts so much more personal and special.

Instead of photos, you can also use black and white postcards of a place that has a meaning to the recipient, perhaps a place somewhere you want to go or a place you visited together.

To this day, Urban Decay delighted us with many amazing eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks, blushes and other beauty must-haves!  The only problem with so many Naked products in your makeup bag is – how to  bring them all with you? When going out or on a trip, our bag has limited space for makeup and beauty products. Luckily, UD thinks about everything!

Just a month after announcing Naked Vault, Urban Decay has another treat for all makeup lovers – Naked on the Run. This multi purpose palette has everything you’ll need in one place and small package. You don’t have to unpack/repack a bunch of makeup if you are hotel jumping. Also, this travel palette has amazing day and night shadows, highlighter, bronzer and two blushes. It’s sturdy (sleek and highly metallized) so you’ll never have to worry about it breaking during your travel. The only thing is that we wish that they would’ve add some makeup brushes, too. Brushes would make it even more easier to apply our makeup on the go.

Naked on the Run will be available online  at Sephora 12/1 and in stores 12/4.

Price: $54

This travel palette comes with everything you need for a complete makeup look:

• 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (0.03 oz)
• Perversion Mascara (0.13 fl. oz.)
• Naked Ultra Nourishing Gloss (0.13 oz)
• Blush & Bronzer (0.30 oz)
• 6 Eyeshadows – one can be used as a highlighter (0.04 oz)

Included eyeshadows aren’t from Naked, Naked 2 or  Naked 3 palette – they are completely new. Each shade is designed to work perfectly together. Sadly, this Naked kit won’t work for all skin tones because it has complexion products included.

If you travel often and don’t want to pack a ton of makeup but still rock a full face, Naked on the Run might be a great option. This travel makeup kit is limited edition so make sure to mark your calendar.

Here are some pictures of palette from Urban Decay’s Instagram:

 

Matte nails are Fall’s biggest nail trend. It started off with the matte black and has quickly spread to all designs and colors (red, grey, white, blue, etc.). Matte nails become a mani must-have for nail lovers.

When we think of a nice manicure, our mind immediately jumps to shiny, well-maintained nails. But sometimes we need something different. Something darker. Edgier. Matte nails will give you that statement grunge look.

This nail trend has an exceptional tendency to make everyone fall for it. After you check our top red, white, black, grey and blue matte designs below, you’ll want to try this unique look ASAP.
