A Sad (?) Announcement

Hey everyone, I feel kind of bad to tell you that FYBS is going on an indefinite hiatus.

I've had a lot of fun sharing beauty tips and secrets with you during this time but right now with everything else going on in my life, running this blog feels a lot more like a chore than a passion and that really isn't how I want it to be. So I hope you'll understand if I want to take a break to regain the love I had for this blog when I started it.

For now I've closed the ask box but I hope you can still find any answers you may need through the search box, categories page, or the archives; if your answer isn't there I apologise (and if I've left your question unanswererd I apologise profulsely).

If you want to keep in touch you can find me on my personal blog, my personal fashion blog, on twitter @vessiecakes, or my youtube, but if not I hope we can meet again soon.

Thank you for all your love and support until now and hopefully we'll meet again soon.

Stay Beautiful! Vanessa xoxo

Any secrets to making your hair grow faster?

Take care of it and make sure you're washing your scalp properly. Nothing will make your hair grow faster than it's genetically programmed to.

How can I make my eyeliner last longer? It seems to smear within half an hour, and I constantly have to go over it

What eyeliner are you using? The easiest solution is probably to try something a bit more long-lasting :)

Do you have any perfume recommendations?

I don't actually wear perfume so no, sorry~

[fuckyeahbeautysecrets]

To make small eyes look bigger, invest in a good quality eyelash curler! I have really small eyes and never had very long eyelashes. I actually spent the time to grow them (using any of the eyelash growth serums out there PLUS conditioning them with a little bit of coconut oil every night) and after using a curler, my eyes look a lot bigger. A thin dash of eyeliner, no longer than the width of your iris, right in the middle of your eyelid, also helps create the illusion of a larger eye.

I have a very pale skin and it's very hard for me to use make up, because every pouder/foundation makes my face looking unantural dark. Do you know a makeup brand which sales foundations or puders for very light skinned people?

STORY OF MY LIFE.

There's a range called Dainty Doll by Nicola Roberts which is aimed at us paleys but personally I don't really like their foundations on their own. The best way to go about it in my opinion is to just mix your own, get a foundation close to your skintone and then lighten it with something too pale (eg. I use L'Oreal True Match in Rose Ivory mixed with a little bit of the Dainty Doll stuff, and a friend of mine lightens hers with MAC face & body foundation in white). Illamasqua also have a white face powder which you could apply on top of a darker foundation to lighten it up (they also have really pale foundations but again the consistancy of it is horrible, maybe whatever ingredients they need to make it pale are just really thick and gross?)

I normally have a pixie cut and went in to my hairdresser yesterday to get my roots done. She said she was going to trim my hair and when she turned me around I had a guy's haircut (it almost looks like a grown out crew cut). Is there anything I can do to make my hair grow out faster now that it's an inch long? :(

There isn't really a way to make your hair grow faster, but to ensure that it grows at its maximum speed make sure you're washing your actual scalp thoroughly when you wash it (shouldn't be hard with short hair!) and brush it daily to stimulate blood circulation to the follicles.

hey you anon who asked how u should put ur hair bc of ur big ears i hope u see this!! :-) big ears are sooo adorable i wish i had bigger ears they are so cute, you dont need to hide em xxxx

got my hair dyed today, I asked for light brownbut she gave me about 2-3 shades darker than what i wanted. is there any ways I can make it lighter?

It should fade to a lighter colour after a few washes, but there isn't really much you can do apart from dyeing it again a lighter colour~ Go back to your stylist to discuss your options, maybe they'll have some better ideas

can you please help me? i have long, wavy hair. i use curling spray to emphasize the waves, but after a while my hair starts to frizz up. I've tried garnier fructis smoothing milk, but i have to keep reapplying. So, what's something I can use that'll last all day and won't ruin my waves? thank youuuuuuuuuuu!!

A leave-in conditioner should help combat frizz, or try putting some lemon juice in with your shampoo :)

i have big ears and I can't wear my hair up cause they stick out so bad:( do you know any up-do's that won't make my ears look so big. or maybe some amazing, easy up-do's that'll distract my ears?

I wouldn't recommend up-dos for hiding ears, unless you can pull your hair back in such a way that it covers them if you know what I mean~ Volume and curls are best for hiding big ears.

how can I make small eyes look bigger? I don't want it to look like i'm wearing so much makeup

Use lighter colours on the inside of your eyelid and darker colours at the outside or in the crease (I don't necessarily mean like super dark, just darker than the other colours). If you wear eyeliner, line above your lash line, and line your water line with white or nude eyeliner.

how long should i keep oil on my hair and scalp with out making it fall?

Don't put oil on your scalp! You'll clog the follicles and stop your hair growing. Otherwise you can leave it as long as you want, maybe about 30-60 minutes should do it.
