Tara Got Balayage'd!


So, after countless re-blogs on Tumblr, and lusting over balayage/ ombre hair, I finally booked my appointment and took the plunge! Learn what I asked for at the salon, and how I feel about my new color for fall (:

Definition: Balayage is a free form high lighting technique. This technique can offer a more natural look to highlighting hair by doing away with the more uniform foiling process. Balayage is the technique that is used to achieve ombre hair color.

Tara's Top 4 Perfume Picks

Jo Malone Redcurrant & Cream : This is a must have for the fall, you have that warmth of the "cream" but the tart berry smell brings a brightness and girly note to this fragrance. It is great to layer for that warmer note for any of your favorite sugary or fruity summer fragrances.

Jo Malone Wildbluebell : This is by-far my favorite and most used perfume. It's fresh and fruity, a scent that is perfect for everyday that is not overwhelming in any way. This is not a fragrance that will last all day, but it is a very clean scent that won't give you (or those around you) a headache. I would love to repurchase this scent in the full size so I have enough to spray whatever and whomever I please ! (:

BCBGMAXAZRIA : This was one of those fragrances I found by walking past someone and loving how they smelled! (creepy? maybe.) I asked them what scent they were wearing and -I'm not joking- she pulls out this pretty glass bottle from her bottomless purse! It's very fresh and girly while being not too flowery, despite the look of the bottle. Great if you have a date night, or heck, if you want a random stranger to complement you on your lovely smell! (;

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift : Not going to lie, I mainly got this scent because of my limitless love for Taylor Swift-she can  go no wrong in my eyes. *swoons* But this is one of my favorite scents nonetheless- it's fruity yet fresh -have I said that enough times in this post? I think you can see a theme happening here- to me, I always smell grape undertones in this fragrance, it might just be the grape-like bottle... I am thinking of picking up her other two newest perfumes as well to add to my collection!


What are your top scent picks? Do you own any of my favorites? What other fragrances would you recommend to me, knowing my "fruity-fresh" perfume picks?
