Hair Envy!

I don't know about you but I am always searching for a new haircut. I want something that doesn't take much off the length but is still different. I also don't want to colour.....that doesn't leave a lot of options though does it? Sometimes I wish I had BIG afro curls like Kelly Rowland, sometimes I just was fine straight hair like Mila Kunis, and other times I just want to chop it all off like Carey Muligan. I think I may just need to live with the fact that my hair will be forever boring.

However I was on Facebook when I stumbled across a prank that was advertising a new horror movie coming out called "Carrie". I believe it is a remake of a Stephen King book. Anyway, after watching the trailer I am absolutely in love with Chloe Grace Mortez's hair in it!

She has the most gorgeous voluminous, textured beach waves that I instantly fell in love with.

I will now be scouring through Youtube looking for tutorials

I think.

What do you do when you see a hairstyle you love? Instantly get it cut or wait around weighing the pros and cons?

Formal

                         

Last night I had my school formal, it was a pretty amazing night. Granted, I'm almost certain I spent almost the whole night getting photos with friends, but with a cute wee Photo Booth...who could resist!

Getting ready - wow, a lengthy process. 

No, this was not just a couple of hours slapping on some makeup and curling my hair. This was a day long process. I'm pretty sure not everyone took as long - but I do love getting dressed up! In the morning I got a spray tan and then later that day I had my makeup done. After, I went to Hanna's house and her Aunt did out hair. 

By the end of the night my feet were so sore I could barley walk.

Such a fun night!

Sick Days

Being sick is no fun.

Feeling too hot, too cold, headaches, sore stomaches. So many things stacked against you, determined that you have a rubbish time. Along with all of this, you find that your skin starts to dry out, you're eyes start to puff out and you lack that natural healthy glow. The past few days I have been stuck at home with the flu and I wanted to share my beauty tips for sick days with you.

After constantly blowing your nose and the various medicines you take to tackle the sickness, your nose will start to get red and your skin may dry out. Keep your skin well hydrated with plenty of water and moisturiser. Try to avoid moisturisers with any fruit acids, retinol or alpha hydroxyl acids as I've heard they tend to further irritate the skin. The moisturiser I use is the "Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion". If you're skin is already dry and flakey it helps to very gently clean with a warm flannel before you moisturise.  Also I would recommend buying some good quality, soft tissues as they will greatly reduce the amount of redness and irritation around your nose.

If you're forced to leave the house then apply a coat of lipgloss or tinted lipbalm. The pop of colour will not only add a bit of moisture to your lips but brighten your appearance. I like to use the "Maybeline, Baby Lips Moisturising Lip Balm" in shade cherry me. 

To reduce eye puffiness lay down with your head propped slightly upward. Place cold, moist teabags on your eyes and lie there for roughly 15 minutes. This will reduce the puffiness around your eyes and sooth the irritated skin.

Now lie down with a warm blanket, a good book and a cup of tea. The only thing you can do is rest it out.
