Hair inspiration: short hair

It appears like every female celebrity has made the decision to chop their beautiful locks off and rock a trendy shorter hairstyle. I love it. I myself have rather long hair, but once I find the courage to do so, I will definitely get rid of all that unnecessary length. Here are some of my favourite short hair styles of celebrities:


Vanessa Hudgens
 I have loved Vanessa ever since Highschool Musical, but when she cut her hair I developed a serious woman crush on her. I mean, how gorgeous can one be? Love the ombre effect as well as the soft waves she has in this photo (selfie goals)!


Kristen Stewart

I sadly can't include the picture directly due to copyright, but this lady is my absolute favourite of the short hair club. She looks stunning, the red/orange tinge adds an unique touch to it and her hair looks super textured and voluminous. Whether you like her or not, you can't not like this do. Congrats Kristen, you killed it (in a good way)!


Emma Watson
Yes, this was a while ago but I will never forget the drama it provoked. Maybe because she was one of the first to cut it all off or maybe because her famous film character Hermione Granger would never do that. It doesn't matter as in the end it looked amazing! Her face is so beautiful that she doesn't need long locks to make an impression. A true role model, not just when it comes to hair (coughGoodwillAmbassadorforUNWomencough).


Jennifer Lawrence
Photo 
Immensely talented, hilarious and gorgeous. JLaw has it all. No wonder she can rock the short hair like no one else. Her hair falls beautifully and frames her face without drowning it, which long hair usually does. Looooove it!


There are endless other women, who have a stunning short hair styles, I could include but I will leave it with these four. Kristen is probably my absolute favourite, but they all pull off the short hair as if they were born with it (pun alarm). Totally makes me want to run to the hairdresser and get my hair cut off, but I am still too afraid (after all I am in no way as breathtaking as these ladies).
I hope you've found this inspiring, whether you want to cut it short or just like looking at hair inspiration. Let me know your favourite celebrity who cut their hair short!
Love you lots!

My holy grail SKINCARE PRODUCTS


Yes I know, a skincare post was long overdue. To be honest though, I have only recently found products that I really love and would honestly recommend. I use these on a daily basis and they have done wonders for my skin. Disclaimer - that doesn't mean my skin is perfect now, I still get the occasional pimple. However my skin has cleared up lots and started looking a lot healthier.

Simple - 'Kind to skin moisturising facial wash'
First of all, I have oily/combination skin, but this product claims to be for sensitive skin. I researched hours to find the best facial wash for oily skin and this one appeared to be the best one. Hence I bought it and I don't regret it one bit. The product is gentle on the skin, cleanses really well and doesn't dry you out. One of the best skincare tips I have ever gotten is to keep it basic, products for oily skin often dry you out and leave your skin looking dull. I've used this every morning for about 3 weeks now and my skin has shown vast improvement.

Witch naturally clear - 'pore minimising gel wassh'
I have always had positive experiences with witch products, and this one is no exception. I use it in the evening to take off my face makeup and cleanse my skin. This product is for oily to combination skin, hence it is oil free (good for acne prone skin). The product also claims to be pore minimising, which hasn't worked on my skin yet. Still, the product does its job, it clears up your skin, gets rid of all dirt and makeup and most improtantly doesn't dry you out. In combination with the simple face wash, this product works wonders.


I am always on the hunt for new, even better skin care products so do share your recommendations in the comments. I always really enjoy reading your comments and try to reply to as many as I can!
I hope you enjoyed reading this post, have an amazing week! Lots of love <3

Would you rather Beauty TAG

I love 'would you rather' tags, although I am horrible at making decisions. But who doesn't like to challenge themselves ;). This time I decided to do a beauty edition, 10 'would you rathers' concerning everything beauty related. Get ready, set, GO:


1. Would you rather go out with messy hair and nice make-up or nice hair and no make-up?
Well, this one is actually quite easy as I love the messy hair look and wear it every day anyway so I'd choose nice make-up and messy hair. However the person who created this probably didn't mean the nice type of messy hair but still.... the face is more important than hair :D

2. Would you rather shave your eyebrows or have your eyelashes fall out?
Definitely shave my eyebrows. Until they grow back I could just draw them on with an eyebrow pencil ( loads of girls do that anyway because of over plucking their eyebrows). If my eyelashes fell out it would look really weird when they start growing back and I don't even know if fake lashes would stick without the real ones to support them.

3. Would you rather be forced to shop only at MAC or Sephora for the rest of your life?
Here in the UK we don't have Sephora, but as far as I know they have lots of different brands so I'd only shop at Sephora. As much as I like MAC, I think different brands have different strengths so just relying on one brand would be too risky for me.

4. Would you rather wear lipgloss/lipliner look or 80's perm?
80's perm all the way. I wish I was born in the 80's, I love how crazy and colourful and just over the top everything was. Literally I don't even need a bad other option (like the ligloss/lipliner look - ugh) to agree on getting an 80's perm ;)

5. Would you rather leave the house with an obvious foundation line or overdone blush?
Um, probably an obvious foundation line (have probably done it before...), because I absolutely HATE overdone blush. My face gets red really easily, so with overdone blush I'd just look like a walking tomato!

6. Would you rather wear MC Hammer pants or biker shorts in public?
MC Hammer pants all the way haha. I think they can actually look pretty cool on girls, if you don't drown in them. (If you didn't know, MC Hammer pants are loose fitting trousers inspired by harem pants) Justin Bieber really needs to stop wearing them tho...

7. Would you rather have a bad orange-y spray tan or really weird tan lines that can't be covered?
Tan lines because it'd probably mean I'm naturally tanned rather than that super fake orange stuff. I don't actually tan so having weird tan lines would be more of an achievement than embarrassment to me ;)
8. Would you rather have a bad haircut or bad hair colour?
Oh I've had bad hair colours before e.g. when I was thirteen and thought red would look good on me...
So I'd probably choose a bad hair colour, which is easy to change and I sadly have experience dealing with.

9.Would you rather have youtube or twitter taken away forever?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. How's that beauty :'( I would probably go for twitter because youtube is my TV, but then how would I connect to fellow bloggers... This is what I call a first world problem!

10. Would you rather give up using makeup brushes or mascara?
Makeup brushes because mascara is my holy grail beauty product. And I could use sponges or simply my hands to apply my makeup.

Aaaaand that were all the questions. I really enjoyed answering them, I tag everyone reading this!
Also choose the question you found the most difficult and write your answer in the comments - let's share the struggle ;)
Love you lots, have a beautiful day!

Beauty must-haves to start the New Year

Starting a new year is always exciting, everyone is so energetic and positive, I love it! I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions tho, I think if you really want to improve anything in your life, you should do it right now. Quit waiting for the perfect moment, we all know it will never come!
Anyway on another note I got a few new beauty items for Christmas and really want to talk about 3 of them that I can't believe I've lived without for so long.
Sooo here are the 3 beauty items you really need in your life. (Disclaimer: none of these are newbies to the world of beauty - I am probably the last person to rave about them but oh well)


Real Techniques Stippling Brush

I can't even begin to tell you how many brushes and sponges I have tried out for applying foundation. This one is by far the best. It really does what it claims to do: 'creating airbrushed, high-definition results'. It takes longer than a sponge to blend my foundation but once it is blended into my skin it looks flawless. Moreover it is super soft which is always a big plus.

Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara

Before Christmas I spent days searching the Internet for the best mascara and all of them had mixed results. Some people loved that one mascara, but others claimed it irritated their eyes and so on. The Benefit "they're real" had mostly positive reviews, but also disappointed ones. I decided to give it a try, and I love it. It makes my lashes look super long and stays on forever. It is a bit of a struggle to get off in the evening but I can deal with that. It's perfect for everyone who likes they're lashes to be all out, not so much for the natural girlies out there.

Sleek Make Up 'Face Form'

This is a contour kit that contains contour powder, highlighter and bronzer/blush. I chose the light one and fell for it after the first time using it! I first heard about Sleek through Zoella and always planned on trying it out but never came around doing so. I've been missing out. The contour powder looks natural and the highlighter is gorgeous. Also love the blush in my set, it works great with the bronzer!


Have you guys tried any of these three products? What's your opinion on them?
Love you lots.
