Cropped hairstyles
For a while there, we were #obsessed with long hair – but now cropped hair is officially back and better than ever. Michelle Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Janelle Monae and Jamie Lee Curtis are just a few of the celebrities with short hair on the red carpet. Not only is it super stylish, it’s also low maintenance and surprisingly versatile: With styles ranging from undercuts, to sweeping mohawks and pixie cuts.
Style a shorter ‘do: L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Pixie Pommade, TONI&GUY Hair Care Creative Style Spray Wax, JUSTICE Professional Firm Clay

Cushion compacts
Cushion foundation took the beauty world by storm last year, but now cushion compacts are cropping up in every makeup category: Cushion blush, cushion eyeliner, cushion concealer, cushion correcting powder… the list goes on. Watch the video to find out my favourite thing about them (and let me know whether you can relate in the comments section, below!).
Play with cushion compacts: Lancôme Cushion Blush Subtil, Stila Got Inked Cushion Eyeliner ($40, mecca.com.au), Estée Lauder Double Wear Nude Cushion Stick

Blue eye makeup
Blue eye makeup is one of those trends that just keeps coming back. From smoky eyeshadow with a blue-ish hue at the Oscars, to bold blue reverse eyeliner (that is, bolder on the bottom lid) on Instagram, it’s everywhere at the moment. Watch the video to see my attempt at wearing the trend, and let me know about your own experiments with coloured eye makeup in the comments section, below!
Embrace blue peepers: ulta3 Pencil Eyeliner in Blue Metal, Revlon ColorStay™ Crème Gel Eye Liner in Rio Blue, M.A.C Eye Shadow in Electric Eel

March was a bit of a radio silence month for me... but cool to read about the vintage hair accessories. Maybe they'll start popping up in Priceline soon?

I love how the old classics come back. The old retro looking hair accessories for one, you can recycle the same look years later and also the blue eyes coming back. My Mum wore the blue eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara when I was a teenager, I couldn't pull it off as well as her though. Your not buying something for a season because it always seems to come back.

Ive noticed COLOUR is back in a big way with eye makeup which is great. Mac has their 8 Shades of Mascara out at the moment which it is killing me that i can't buy then all! Wish i could do cropped hair, darn ringlet curls!!! GRR Ive got the undercut going though and I love it, have had it for 2 years now and its the best move ive ever made with my hair. My hair is crazy thick and having recently had a shoulder injury i can't manage the weight of my hair when brushing/styling so i shaved half of it off!

Love me some blue eye makeup, even just a smoked out liner. It looks nice on my brown eyes, especially when mixed with a little bit of gold eyeshadow

I love Jamie Lee Curtis so much! Her short hair always looks so amazing. I've been keeping my hair short for a few years and am just finally growing it out so I'm not brave enough to get it all chopped off!

I love the pixie hair cut. I just don't have the face shape to pull it off. Also love that vintage hair accessories have made a come back. I don't remember the last time I wore a hair accessory. Definitely doing that one.

The cropped hair looks so stylish. I could probably wear my hair cropped but the cost of regular visits to the hairdresser for upkeep is not in my budget
