OOTD + FOTD: a boho and messy look. Messy, messy hair

It’s summer and this means loosen my hair makes me suffer. Chignon (buns) and braids are what I often create to solve this issue and as fast as I can.
This morning I didn’t want to style my hair, so I’ve taken my “night time” boxer braids and started wrapping them all around my head, first randomly, then with precision toward the front.
I’ve fixed them with only four bobby pins and without hairspray, a pro of having curly and frizzy hair!

Today’s hairdo has been simple and fresh but extremely messy. I can still spot how dry my hair look, despite this note, I liked the overall effect, especially the golden red locks popping through my darker mane. 
For the next step, I covered and hid my braids tips and my bobby pins thanks to a Promod elastic headband with leather cords and earthy toned treads. This piece along with the white and emerald tunic completed and defined this quick ootd as a decadent and bohèmien look. 
Lipstick or no lipstick: dilemma? Nope, here’s Flirt again (right)!

Other laziness proof: light make-up with Pupa Cover Cream concealer 004, Avon Ideal Flawless concealer in Medium and Pupa Luminys Touch concealer-highlighter; Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara Intense BlackAvon Color Trend Kiss ‘N’ Go lipstick in Flirt, essence Eyebrow stylist set natural brunette and Pupa Like a doll compact powder 003 to set everything and used as eyeshadow.
Have you ever been that lazy to skip styling and style complications and keep make-up super minimal, almost invisible, while thinking about having an overload of coffee instead?
