Step 1: Prep hair
This look is actually quite easy to pull off. After washing hair with a shampoo and conditioner like Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Frizzy to Smooth Shampoo, $5.97 and Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Solutions Frizzy to Smooth Conditioner, $5.97, apply curl boosting gel or mousse like L'Or�al Paris Vive Pro Glossy Style Glossy Curls Spray Gel, $4.99. If your hair is stick straight, it should still add some texture to your hair. Then either let hair air dry or use a diffuser and blow dry.

Step 2: Secure hair back
Loosely pull your hair back into a low ponytail, leaving a few face framing pieces hanging. Then separate the pony into two sections -- one just a tad thinner than the other. Take the thicker section and loop it around into a loose bun and secure it with bobby pins (try Scunci Bobby Pins, $1.99). Next, take the hanging section and loosely braid it. When you reach the end, secure it with an elastic, then wrap the braid around the bun. Secure the braided bun with bobby pins. Keep in mind, it's supposed to look messy so don't make it look perfectly symmetrical.

Next: Set your look

Step 3: Set your style
Wrap your face framing layers around a large-barreled curling iron for just a few seconds to give them a soft, wavy effect. Then set your entire style with a finishing spray like Nexxus Maxximum Super Hold Styling and Finishing Mist, $7.97.

Trend: Aqua blue eyes
Last time you tried wearing blue eyeshadow, you also wore leg warmers. We know. It can be a scary thought. But not if you choose the right hue and wear it tastefully, just like Sarah Jessica Parker did here. Aqua blue can make your eyes stand out and it's the perfect look for a beach party or a night out. Plus, it doesn't take much effort if you follow these steps �

Step 1: Even out your skin tone
Start with a tinted moisturizer like Hard Candy Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer, $8 that isn't too opaque, but will hide any discoloration. Then dust your face with a loose powder like Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminous Matte Pressed Powder, $11.99 to set your tinted moisturizer and make your skin look flawless, but not cakey.

Next: Apply eye makeup

Summer, summer, summertime � yup, the season of sun is finally upon us. That means it's time for long days spent at the beach, vacation, and a few fresh hair and makeup looks. This summer the trends are flawless, bronzed skin, no-fuss braided buns and shiny aqua hues for your eyes. So read on to learn how to recreate these three trends -- all with products found at your local Walmart store (pretty nifty, huh?).
