Six beauty trends to ditch in 2016

Hello everyone!

So it's already January 20th and this is my first post in 2016.  My year started with a lot of internet connection problems, but hopefully that issue is resolved (fingers crossed).  

So let's get started!  From mid-length haircuts to no-light gel nail polishes (which I ?), 2015 brought us a lot of beauty trends, but there are a few trends that I think should be left behind.  Check out the six beauty trends to ditch in 2016: 
  1. Instagram eyebrows - The Instagram brow or the faded eyebrow, is very popular among MUAs because it photographs well, but in person, it is very odd-looking.
  2. Heavy contour: Contouring has been around for years but it reached new heights in 2015 with techniques like clown contouring.  
  3. Waist trainers: While many believe that wearing a waist trainer will help them get an hour glass shape, the results are only temporary and can cause some health problems. 
  4. Overdrawn lips: Thanks to Kylie Jenner, the obsession with lips got a little out of control in 2015. 
  5. Crazy nail art and nail shapes:  Whether nude or coloured, claw-shaped nails need to go away.  In 2016, file your nails into a squoval for a more natural look.
  6. Insanely long extensions: This year it's all about texture and short, chic cuts.  Everyone is going short, so now's the time to take the plunge, just go for it.
These are six beauty trends I really don't like!  I prefer the natural look, at least for everyday; natural make-up, nails, hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, etc.  If you are a fan of any of the trends I mentions, I'm not judging!  Fashion and make-up should be means of self-expression, so DO YOU, always! 

What is your least favourite trend?  Is there a beauty trend you just can't stand?

Hello everyone!  If, like me, you hate the chemical-laden, store-bought deodorants,  y ou can make your own natural deodorant from scratch � in both  solid  and spray form.  Since I�ve already posted a  DIY solid deodorant recipe , I want to share my favourite spray deodorant formula, too.  This one is way easier and quicker to make.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 60 ml (2 fl oz) witch hazel (astringent) 12 drops of essential oil - Choose an oil with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties such as, sweet orange, tea tree, lemongrass, lavender, etc. Method: Pour your ingredients into a spray bottle and screw the top back on.  Shake well before use.  It's super simple to make and it  really does work ! Have you ever tried using a DIY deodorant?  Do you prefer a solid or a spray formula? Have a great day!

Hello everyone! Halloween is quickly approaching so  today I want to share  with  you an  easy, last minute costume  idea .  Want to dress up as  Wally   from  Where's Wally?   (aka Waldo)  this Halloween ?  -  Easy!   You can probably make this costume  from clothes you already have!   Wally's distinctive outfit includes a red and white striped shirt, beanie, black glasses and jeans .   The striped shirt and jeans might look like a normal, everyday outfit, but once you add the glasses and a red and white pom-pom beanie, you won't be mistaken for anyone but Wally/Waldo.  And don't forget the brown shoes and messenger bag to complete the costume.  You can also add a walking cane if you can find one.  What are you going to be for Halloween?   Similar posts: Outfit inspiration (Halloween edition) - Wednesday Addams Outfit inspiration (Halloween edition) - The Little Mermaid
