This was GREAT! Nice to see an Aussie girl doing one of these tutorials. Just curious, do you whiten your teeth? I'd love to try red lipstick but am afraid my teeth would look to yellow, or that red just won't suit my skin tone.

@TeamKilday Thanks. No,I don't whiten my teeth, just brush them with a whitening toothpaste. You can find a great post on how to choose and wear red lipstick on my blog listed in the about section.

It's a lovely tutorial, but you might want to consider doing the next in front of a light background, since your hair is dark and in this often blended in with the dark blue background, making it difficult to see what you were doing. Thanks for teaching me how to use a snood!

@RuthSherwood I finally have a new set up for recording, so I've taken your suggestion on board and tutorials are done in a lighter room! :)

@lilmissglamourpuss haha i think you are the only one to notice that as being a problem. She did a great job! Using her teeth or not.

[superkawaiimama]

@lilmissglamourpuss True, but it is a very difficult thing to do one handed whilst filming yourself and not knocking everything over. I'll have to come up with a better system for when doing the videos, because opening them on the antique dresser edge scares me!

[OceanLuthien]

It looks fantastic! And not so difficult at all. I always thought these hairdos are much more difficult. I will try this!

I love you video! are you naturally blonde? Just out of curiosity.

@superkawaiimama why hello! She definitely means as in too mature and too old fashioned. She wishes Id go out to parties and get drunk. honestly, doing that seems quite revolting to me. Why would I want to look like that?! I think she is scared I will attract a much older man that will "try to take advantage" of me....
