DIY Healthy Hair Mask

I am a lover of Pinterest and I'm one of those people who could sit there on it for hours, i just think it has everything! Last night I was having a little search on it and I came across a very popular DIY hair mask, it sounded simple and loads of people had saved it; so I had to give it a try.
The mask consists of 3 ingredients: Raw Coconut oil, 1 Egg, and Olive oil. I am aware there are many of you who are thinking who the hell would want an egg in your hair.. but believe me it's so nourishing and gives great results.
The egg is great for adding extra protein to your hair, this helps to strengthen it and helps with growth! The Coconut and Olive oil both help to give your hair a nice healthy shine and make it extra soft! I left it on for an hour whilst revising and then washed my hair as normal.
Despite the awful lighting and the fact I'm still in my uniform (blame it on revision) you can see how healthy and shiny my hair looks, this simple DIY hair mask has completely rejuvenated and pampered my hair!

The best thing to apply the mask with is a glazing brush as the hair mask has quite a runny consistency and I found it so much easier to apply with this brush!

2016 Spring beauty trends!

When not revising it can be hard to fill in free time that you find on your hands, i find myself experimenting with my makeup and looking at 2016 beauty trends for Spring; as i want to see what's out there and what's to come.

In New York fashion week one of the biggest trends was a bright, bold, blue eye. I was very sceptical about this at first but after trying it out on myself i realised how it really adds a fresh pop of colour to a makeup look.


A second prominent up coming trend is natural, air dried hair- This is obviously really easy as it means simply washing your hair and leaving it to dry!


New York fashion week highlighted the return of the red lip, i think a red lip is both timeless and sophisticated, and there is the right shade for everyone. I think many people (including me) will be thrilled to see this trending more widely throughout Spring!


There is definitely a chilled, chic feel to all the beauty trends that were presented at New York fashion week. If you're not one for intricate up do's- then this ones for you! A natural esc, chilled messy up do, this is super easy to recreate as the look consists of merely grabbing your hair and tying it with a bobble!


Okay so after looking at some of these 2016 beauty trends i thought i would incorporate all these looks into one and capture it as one look.

Featuring the blue statement eyes, the bold lip and natural looking hair-

I think this is such a bright, fresh look to embrace in the spring months, and it can easily be pulled off. I altered my bold red for a more pink toned red as it suits my skin tone better!

Incorporating the messy up do, the blue eyeshadow, and again the bright lip!

Personally i think that the simple, messy up do contrasts the statement makeup look perfectly- i think it's an effortless look that is great for a casual day! I really do like this look.




 I really enjoyed writing this post and i will definitely do more of these featuring more fresh, new trends!
