How to Create a Side Chignon – The French Bun Hair Tutorial

disclosure affiliate linksOtherwise known as a French bun, a chignon traditionally sits at the nape of the neck. In its loose, messy form it’s great for hiding bad hair days. In its smooth, polished form it’s perfect for a night of theater and fine dining.

Here’s our simple step-by-step tutorial for this versatile style–from the professionals on the Color Crew at Madison Reed!

Side Chignon Tutorial

1. Create a deep side-part, as clean or messy as you like.

2. Gather all hair behind opposite ear from part. Smooth with your favorite brush if desired, or leave messy.

3. Secure into a ponytail with a hair-tie.

4. Separate ponytail into three sections. Take bottom-most section and start twisting.

5. While twisting section, curl around base of ponytail. Secure to base of ponytail with pin.

6. Repeat with two remaining sections twisting into complimentary curls.

7. Pin the two remaining sections into place as you go.

8. Once a completed curled Chignon has been pinned into place, pull out small sections for a romantic feel, or smooth and perfect with a tail comb for a modern, clean result. Spray to hold.

Now get the color you need for your hair! Madison Reed offers easy-to-apply hair color delivered to your door on YOUR schedule.

Belli All Day Moisture Lotion – Picky for a Purpose

disclosureBelli All Day Moisture Body Lotion

Is it wrong that one of the things I love the most about my new lotion is the scent? I hope not, because I really, really do love it. Belli All Day Moisture Lotion contains lemon oil which is not only good for your skin, but smells amazing! Not over-the-top super lemony, but just a nice, clean scent.

The other thing I really love about this lotion, apart from its awesome moisturizing with no heavy/greasy feel, is all the things that it does NOT have in it. As part of a physician-formulated skin care line, the ingredients in all Belli products are selected based upon an extensive review of published medical studies. Each Belli product is allergy tested, free of artificial dyes or fragrances, phthalates and paraben preservatives.  And since their products are especially designed for pregnancy, motherhood and beyond, they even follow a unique safety screening process to avoid ingredients with known links to birth defects or harmful effects while breastfeeding.  

  • A luxuriously emollient cream that deeply moisturizes and comforts dry
    skin
  • Contains antioxidant vitamin E
  • Chamomile soothes and refreshes skin
  • Features lemon oil which provides an uplifting scent
  • Free of teratogens (ingredients linked to birth defects or
    miscarriage)
  • Free of artificial dyes or fragrances, phthalates or paraben
    preservatives

Victoria Jackson Gives Your Makeup a Spring Makeover

Victoria Jackson Foundation Duo

Spring is in the air and that signals the start of a new season – which to me means it’s time to make some changes! One area that can always use a springtime makeover is the makeup bag. This week I had some help with that thanks to Victoria Jackson Cosmetics.

I received a few of the Victoria Jackson products to test out including the Foundation Duo, Here Comes the Sun Bronzing Powder, Perfect Everyday Blush and Lush Mascara. I love the sleek packaging of the products that gives them a very “high end” feel. The foundation duo glides on easily and gives great coverage without heaviness or caking. The blush and the bronzing powder add a nice glow to my face. The finishing touch is definitely the Lush mascara. It lengthens my lashes and, best of all, stays in place all day! None of those dreaded under eye shadows from smudges.

Victoria Jackson Mascara

The mission of Victoria Jackson Cosmetics is to help women achieve inner confidence through outer beauty. Since I spend most days at home with only a few trips around town to run errands or to walk the dog, I don’t have to make a “full face”, but at bit of foundation, some blush and a brush of mascara and I feel ready to go out just about anyplace.

Victoria Jackson Blush

Discount: Right now you can grab yourself a beauty bargain! Victoria Jackson® is offering an exclusive 25% discount off the entire site using promo code LOVEVJC. Valid until 4/4/15.
