It's just too easy to get stuck in a rut when it comes to hairstyles and makeup. Once you find a style that "works" it can be scary to change it, but hey, change is good and trying new things is fun!

You simply upload a picture of yourself and you can easily try on nearly 3,000 different hairstyles, hair cuts and hair colors! Makeover Solutions also has a huge, often updated celebrity hairstyle database, so you can easily see if Eva Longorias new color suits your complexion, or if you can pull off the new bangs being worn by Nelly Furtado, Reese Witherspoon and Natalie Portman this season.

Once you find your favorite hairstyles that suit your face, email them to your friends, or print them out and bring them to your stylist for a cut and color that you know you'll love!

Makeover Solutions also has much more to offer then just hairstyles.

We were recently turned on to the website, StyleHive.com, and I must say, it's somewhat addicting!

At Style Hive, you create a free account and create your own stylish "hive". A hive is a collection of fashionable things you find across the internet. It's a great way to keep track of random finds that you'd like to remember for the future (like say, when your next paycheck hits your account...). Style Hive also has a large community and if you find someone with impeccible taste, you can follow their hive.

Style Hive also has a forum, so if you live a fashionable life, you'll love this stylish little community!

Every so often we happen upon a fashion related site that you just have to see. Our current Site to See is PopGloss.com! PopGloss.com is a conglomeration of all sorts of fashions from across the web. You can browse through the pictures for hours and there is always something interesting, incredibly fashionable or just plain weird on every page.


We found the four items above on PopGloss.com, just to give you an idea of how randomly wonderful it can be. Yes, that is indeed a solar bikini that charges your iPod while you lay out, a handprinted feather collar, a monkey that blows your nails dry and a pair of brocade Roberto Cavalli boots. Hey, variety is the spice of life...
