One-Side Messy Fishtail Braid with Swell Beauty, Laguna Beach


I can't seem to do a fishtail braid right on my own, so I'm glad Dee from Swell Beauty did this pretty fishtail braid to my ombre locks. I love that she started the fishtail at my hair line and swept down the side; and instead of having the end of the braid sticking out, Dee tucked and pinned the ends into the braid. Did you know that I just started blogging for Swell Beauty and you can check out my posts here! But back to this braid, here's what you need to complete the hair style (you will need to know how to fishtail braid):

1 Rubberband (your haircolor)
Bobbypins (your haircolor)
Sexy Hair Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo 
TigiS Factor Vivacious Hairspray
*You can substitute products with what you already have

1. Spray dry shampoo into your roots and tousle with your fingertips. Section your hair with a wide part. With the wider section of hair, start fishtail french braiding. 2. Finish the fishtail braid and rubberband the end. 3. Go down the braid with your fingertips and gently pull on the sides to create the 'messy' look. 4. Take the end of braid and pin the ends up into the braid with the bobbypins. Spray hairspray all over.

DHC Skincare's First LA Event for Beauty Bloggers

Japanese Beauty Takes on LA
DHC, Japan's No.1 direct skincare brand, hosted its first LA media event last Thursday. Beauty bloggers and buffs from around LA gathered at Culina Restaurant within the Four Seasons Los Angeles in Beverly Hills to learn more about the iconic olive-oil inspired skincare brand. Guests also enjoyed cocktails, wine, and hors d'oeuvers while previewing and testing upcoming product launches as well as getting make-up touch ups by Jordana David and gift bags.
I liked that the product was laid out and each with a description and benefit list, see below. One of the most popular products is the Deep Cleansing Oil, a make up remover that dissolves traces of dirt and makeup. I got to take this cleansing oil home with me and tried it last night on a bare face; I needed to massage it onto a dry face and rinse, which I thought would be difficult to rinse since it is an oil, but it turned out to be easy and left my skin feeling moisturized and smooth. I'm going to try it tonight to remove a full face of make up, and also try the Beauty Lift Serum and Cream. DHC also has a line of beauty products, which were used to touch up my make up at the event, and I'm interested in getting into that make up line as well.

Why Olive Oil?

Benefits

Our entire skincare line was founded on the principles of olive oil. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it is a highly effective component in neutralizing damaging free radicals. Olive oil also helps balance your skin's moisture. With its unique ability to mix with water, our olive oil helps moisturize without clogging pores. Oxidized oils cause blackheads and a host of other problems, but because olive oil has a naturally lower oxidation rate than your skin's natural oils, it is a perfect barrier to protect skin from irritants.

Quality

Our signature product, DHC Olive Virgin Oil, is Flor de Aceite�the finest quality, extracted from organic Spanish olives that are handpicked when they are bursting with skin-beneficial nutrients. This superior oil is extracted from the crush before the first cold pressing to preserve its many nutrients. It is then carefully filtered under laboratory conditions in Japan to remove any potential pore-clogging impurities. What emerges is a premium, organic virgin olive oil.

Purity

The standards reflected in the way we obtain our special olive oil are applied to all of our ingredients. Incorporating the very best of science and nature, our products are scrutinized for high-quality, safety and efficacy. DHC's basic skincare products are free of unnecessary fragrances and coloring agents, and are clinically tested for irritancy at our labs in Japan and the United States.

Simplicity

DHC products are simple yet effective, with nothing unnecessary that might harm the delicate balance of healthy skin. Many of our products include olive oil because it continues to be among the best natural ingredients for helping you achieve and maintain radiant, youthful-looking skin.

The products that especially caught my eye were the Double Lines Eye Liner (available now), Liquid Velvet Lip Colour, and the Glow Pop Bronze and Highlighter. I just received a parcel of samples and I can't wait to use them and share them with you; with the innovative packaging and functionality, all of the products will be great for a girl-on-the-go like me without having to sacrificing quality. In the meantime, follow Ciate London on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook for updates on the launch and when you can purchase these fabulous products at Sephora!
