6 Beauty Secrets of Emma Watson!

Image
Emma Watson's Princess-Worthy Beauty Routine Just Upped Our Belle Obsession We've known for a while now that Emma Watson's Belle is the feminist-and-not-afraid Disney princess we can genuinely get on board with.  Classy, intelligent and socially conscious, actually when we think about it, Belle's kind of just a magical extension of Watson herself. You know, just with a few more inanimate objects for friends. So when we discovered Watson's own personal 'actually does it in the real life' beauty routine via Into The Gloss, it's no surprise that her hair and make-up game is more than princess-worthy.  Let us count the ways we're obsessed. 1. Her Go-To Lipstick is from the Body Shop Eco-friendly, yes, but more importantly, the thought that Emma Watson goes to the Body Shop, aka where we bought our first clear mascara at the age of 13, to nab her fave lip stain is just so great.  No super spenny celeb lipsticks here, Emma's go-to Lip And Ch...

"What Is Wrong With Being Black?" - Halima Aden

Image
Halima Aden on Mainstream Ideals and Modelling Contracts 'I feel like I'm empowering women. I didn't have any public figures to look up to.' Hijab-wearing model Halima Aden went from Miss Minnesota U.S.A. pageant contestant to a standard-bearer for cultural inclusiveness in fashion and beauty. Since appearing on the cover of CR Fashion Book, she's signed a contract with IMG models and has been on a world tour spreading awareness. Aden remembers what it felt like to grow up without public figures who looked like her.  "One of my teachers told me to draw the Disney princess who I could most relate to, and there wasn't one. It hit me at a young age—that made me question whether or not I was good enough. Each princess had a heroic story, but I didn't have one. I took it very hard." She opens up about her own views on beauty as well as some issues that hit her close to home: how mainstream ideals affected her childhood, the problem of skin bleac...

That Little Space Can Be Charming Too!

Image
Bathrooms can seem like one of those spaces that always seem small. But how do you make the most of a really small bathroom? A small bathroom can be stylish, practical and, with the right know-how, space-efficient. 1. USE ALL YOUR HEIGHT. When your space is at a premium but you really need useful storage spaces in it, use your room’s height all the way to the ceiling. A step stool makes sure everything is still in reach.         2. LESS IS MORE. Architecturally and visually, it is best to keep a small bathroom feeling open by not crowding too many things into it. Edit your amenities often, hang your towels on bars or hooks, keep pattern to a minimum, and generally, make it simple. The room will feel bigger if you use a pedestal sink rather than a bulky vanity, a clear glass door rather than shower curtain and reflective surfaces such as glossy ceramic tiles in a large scale.         3. ATTRACTIVE WALLPAPERS. One of the b...

Perfect Hair For Your Special Day

Image
HAIRSTYLES YOU SHOULD WEAR FOR YOUR WEDDING! Many women fantasise about their wedding day, from their ideal dress to their perfect makeup and hair. But dreams (and hairstyles) don't always match reality, so don't just dream! With a little research, you can discover which hairstyles will best flatter your face's shape. Round Face If you have a sweet, round face, you'll want a hairstyle that will make it look longer while retaining its symmetry, like a middle or side-part style. But a flat hairstyle won't work well – try bouncy curls instead! Oval Face Airy hairstyles can make your face look wider and shorter, so they suit oval-shaped faces well. Avoid putting your hair in a bun, however – it can make your face look even longer! Square Face With a square face, a low ponytail can balance out its angular shape, while curly fringes will soften the angles and make your face look rounder. For a chic and asymmetrical feminine touch, push one side of your hair ...

10 Reasons Why Siblings Make the Best Bestfriends!

Image
Friends may come and go, but siblings are forever, and there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it. They're the first person we text when we get to know that there's a family event on weekends, the shoulder we cry on during hard family situations, and the best advice-givers around. They know us in-and-out. Here are 10 backing reasons to why siblings make the best bestfriends. 1. They grew up with you, so they know exactly how weird you are, all your good and bad sides and still love you. 2. Awkward family gatherings are way more fun when you can hide out with your siblings and cousins, or just sit and laugh at all of your dysfunctional family members. 3. They understand fully without having to explain the ins and outs of your dysfunctional family from which you all come, and you either have the exact same opinions on who is crazy and who is not or it’s your parents who are accusing one another of insanity in which case you avoid the issue altogether. 4. You d...
