This took me 2.5 HOURS...
But OMG!!! I love how it turned out.
This is my first time EVER creating anything like this.
The reason why I decided to start off my Halloween series
with a Sugar Skull, is because of my grandma's one year
anniversary since she passed away.
I first heard about this tradition in my middle school Spanish class,
aloooooong time ago...
I just think it's an awesome tradition
((Day of The Dead))
that allows families to honor their love ones
who passed away.

This was the flat iron my aunt used on my hair.
She said she purchased it at her local mall
(located in Florida)...
It's so sleek & does an amazing job with all hair textures.
It not only flat irons the hair,
but creates gorgeous banana curls as well.
I wish I took pictures or recorded the process :(
I love how sleek and thin the flat iron is
compared to my
10 year old bulky
"Curlmaster Ceramics"
flat iron.
YUCK...
(I'm in desperate need of a new flat iron)
Results:
Week Old Flat Ironed Hair
Week Old Flat Ironed Hair
Week Old Flat Ironed Hair
Pros:
- Heats up fast
- Came with a heating pad to protect counter tops
- Sleek & stylish
- 1"tourmaline ceramic plate
- Straightens, flips, spirals, and curls hair
- Locks in moisture
- Rounded edges to avoid hair snagging
- Leaves hair looking shiny & smooth
- Rotating cord
Cons:
- Can't control the heat setting
- No place to rest fingers
- Pricey
I'm thinking about purchasing this flat iron,
but I just hate the fact I can't control the heat settings.
I'm also looking into the FHI & CHI...
Any recommendations?

LOOK AT THESE PUMPS!!
I got these from MakeMeChic a couple weeks ago.
HOT HOT HOT...
((Hopefully, they still have these in stock))
If they do,
Then make sure you order a 1/2 size up.
They tend to run a little narrow in the toe area.

Don't forget to check out the hair tutorial,
to see how to recreate this look :)
INSPIRATION:
Rihanna
Janelle Monea
Many of you requested to see this hair tutorial,
after watching my "Beginner Makeup Brush" video.
I was completely inspired by Rihanna,
because I adore her style!
BUT
Many of you thought it was more of a
Janelle Monea look instead. .
I can see why everyone thinks it's a Janelle Monea,
((because of the poof in the front))
But I did say "inspired" in the video ;)
Either way,
I love both of their styles,
so it's allllllllll good!
What do you think?
xoBargainPrincess
After uploading my
"Beginner Makeup Brush" video,
I've been getting tons of requests on the hair & makeup.
So for the look,
I was totally inspired by Seventeen Magazine's July issue
featuring the gorgeous Rihanna
((LOVE her style))
