4. Sew them together
5. Leave some black ribbon on one edge and fix it on the centre of the lace with a pin
6. Fix all the ribbon to the lace, leave some more ribbon at the end and cut it
7. Sew the ribbon to the lace with a sewing machine or by hands, you can also glue it! I sew it twice on the edes of the ribbon

DIY Headband Tutorial

Hello!

This is my tutorial for an easy and cheap headband (so fashion, thanks Harry Styles!)

What do you need?

• A piece of stretchy fabric
• A meter
• A ruler
• Fabric chalks or a pencil
• Scissors
• Pins
• Sewing thread

Follow these simple steps to do your own headband!

1. Take the meter and measure your head circumference.
2. When you have it, subtract some cm from that number. My fabric is medium stretchy so I subtract 5/6 cm. If the fabric is really stretchy, subtract more. If not, then subtract less.
3. With your fabric chalks or a pencil write down on your fabric the final lenght of the headband. Then sign the height. Mine is 24 cm because I want to fold it three times. Be sure you draw 90 degrees angles. Finish to draw the rectangle. 
4. Take the scissors and cut the rectangle you just drew.
5. You now have to sew the ends of the headband. Lay the sides of the fabric one on the other. If your fabric has a forehand and a backhand, be sure to match the two forehand sides. 
6. Fix the fabric with some pins.
7. Sew the fabric with a sewing machine using an elastic seam if you have one or you can sew it by hands. Two important things to remember are to leave a cm from the edge of the fabric and to secure the stitching at the start and at the end. A good way to do it is to go back and forth a couple of times. 
8. If you want you can iron the open sewing for a better result.
9. Take your headband and fold the edge sides inside. 
10. You can leave it like this or you can sew on side to fix it better. 

And this is the finish look! 

I hope you like this tutorial and if you try to do one yourself, send me some pictures on twitter or instagram!

MATTE LIPGLOSS - Dresslink

Hello everyone! 

As soon as this order arrived in my mailbox (like an hour ago) I decided to do a review, so here it is!

Lately I've been doing a lot, A LOT, of online shopping. It's easier, cheaper and you have way more products to choose from. It's not faster in my case, because I didn't want to spend a lot on shipping. 

I'm going to talk about "Waterproof Lipstick Gloss Velvet Matte Vitality Cerise Star", a product which was well reviewed on Dresslink. If you have never heard about this site, go check it out, you'll be blown away by how cheap it is! 

Dresslink

This lipstick/lipgloss have gorgeous colors, I have to say. I love the dark red one (#33)!

#1 is a little bit crazy for me, but it's really cool, a barbie bright pink. 

#3 and #26 are really similar, the first one has a little bit more pink in it but it's still a nude effect. The second one it's more orangy kind of color.

And they really are matte when they dry. The packaging says "long lasting" and I would say it's true. I didn't try to wear them for a long time yet, but they don't go away from your lips after the application at all! 

This is so good, but I find it really hard to take it off from my lips...

So, color is great, lasting is long.

The only thing I don't like is that my lips stick to eachother when I close my mouth. 

Anyway, for the price they were really great. 

They were about 80 cents each, and free shipping as well! 

I suggest you to check out this site and keep an eye on it, because they always have nice offers and free shipping items!

Love G.
