thanks! i'm trying to grow my hair out like crazy to get all the length i can. it's almost down to my shoulders now. so i don't know how much of an acutal bun there will be, but the messy updo is the look we'll be going for.

i am super excited about the lashes i got. i have a sassy headpiece with a birdcage veil that just screams for fake lashes (and red lipstick! ha!). hopefully the glue will hold - i haven't heard of too many problems. i'll try it out once or twice before the actual wedding to make sure.

i know some brides get the lash extensions, which would obviously be fine in the humidity. but i'm not prepared to deal with any possible complications (like my natural lashes falling out). Plus. a $13 investment for a set of MAC lashes beats shelling out $300-400 for something that will only last a month or two.

Here are some pre-wedding beauty tips:

1. Get regular facials.

2. Get your eyebrows threaded.

3. Get regular manicures and pedicure.

4. Treat yourself to a soothing aromatherapy facial.

5. If you are planning on having your hair permed, now is the time to do so as it will need time to settle. Here are some bridal hair ideas for you to consider.

i went for my hair trial the other day...and i thought it looked nice in the salon. i had my hairdresser take photos, but when i got home and actually looked at it...it does not photograph well. the back looks good, but the front view is not flattering with the shape of my face.

 

i really think i need to have my hair pulled back out of my eyes, but still falling down the sides of my face. my hair is straight but really thick and it gets frizzy in the humidity.

 

any suggestions on hair products i can bring with me to mexico?

what kind of hair do you have, and what kind of products are you looking for? what, specifically, do you want them do do? so many fun things out there!

I'm also wondering if fake eyelashes will stay put with the humidity. Does anyone know?!

I had my hairstylist play with my hair today after my appointment. She did two different styles. They were both up dos. One of them was pull back completely from the front. The other was pulled back but a few pieces were left hanging around my face. She curled them and it looked really cute and much more playful than the first style. HOWEVER, I keep thinking about the climate on the beach. It is going to be hot, humid, and probably windy. I'm worried that the ringlets around my face will just become frizzy and straight. Whereas if I went with the first style it would all be out of my face and I wouldn't have to worry about it all day long. Anyone else have this dilemma? Any suggestions on how I could make the second style work well?
