How to create this hairstyle:
What you need:
-Hair Straighteners/curlers
-Hair band
-Hair grips
-Hairspray
What to do:
Gather half of your hair into a high pony; leaving a few strands out as we need to use these to tie around the hair band to disguise it. Next, curl the bottom half of your hair and the hair in the pony. I used straighteners and curled each strand halfway down. This creates a more loose, natural looking curl. After this, the few strands you left should now be wrapped around the pony. If you have bangs, pull them together to one side and clip into place. Cute right!
Ariana Grande Styled Summer Shoot

Make-up- Kate
Play suit and cover-up- both from Primark
Again, I experimented creatively on my best friend . I really wanted to re-create Ariana Grande's signature hair look and because Sam has a very similar skin tone and hair colour of her's, I thought it only necessary to do so. I was surprised at how easy it was to do this hairstyle. All you need is a good brush, hair bands, grips, hairspray and hair straighteners. That is all. Feel free to do your usual hair care routine along with it. This is only my interpretation of the look. I have noticed that many other youtube vloggers and bloggers used hair extensions as well to give the impression that they have thicker more voluminousness hair which is well-suited to Ariana Grande. However, I tried to make it as easy and simple for everyone, keeping the price down. This hairstyle looks stunning worn with a cute playsuit (like Sam's) or a crop top and shorts. EXPERIMENT!
Last but not least; make-up was simply the classic red lip and dark eyes, keeping the rest neutral toned.
Summer bargain buys you don't want to miss out on!
Probably, my longest blog yet, but here goes.
Hey beauty bloggers, it's been a while since I've last posted anything so as a way to commence July, I am going to show you some of my recent purchases. Most of which are some 'summery' accessories that can jazz up any plain outfit and to finish with, I will review my favourite summer make-up products that I personally feel are worth the spend. I look to aim my blogs to a variety of viewers and as a viewer myself, I like to find good items for affordable prices; not forgetting the quality and style of the piece. (And who else doesn't like a good bargain!) I'm always hunting for new designs and fashion pieces that will take its rightful place in my wardrobe and can be worn in two or more seasons rather than just one. Unlike clothes, that limit you when and where to wear it, accessories, jewellery and shoes are very versatile! Below are some very recent buys (some were brought yesterday)!! so if you are interested there's a good chance they're still in the shops. Don't hesitate to buy guys!
The first item is this beautiful tan satchel. First impressions included: the size. Take it with you to all occasions and still get all your everyday essentials carried around in one place. Perfect right? I'm a one for pretty detailing and although, it may seem plain, the cute buckle and blacked ridged detail around the edges and in the middle instantly transforms a simple bag into a stylish carrier. Originally £29.90, I got it for a whooping £14.95! Unfortunately it may not be a shop you have heard of. It was selling in my local outlet centre in a shop called Foxy and Ginger so many apologies if you don't have one near you. However, you may be able to purchase online via this website at a later date. It is still under construction or they have not made any further redirections it seems but here it is-www.foxyandginger.co.uk.
The second item are these gorgeous sunglasses I found in Dorothy Perkins which I am IN LOVE WITH! I have been looking forever for some unique rimmed but fashionable 'sunnies' and have had to settle for the average. These beauty's on the other hand caught my eye as soon as I saw them; like love at first sight. They give off a Vintage and western feel like vibe and ill be sure to be wearing these on my holiday in August! (ahh so excited!) I really love the brown orange filter on the lens as it compliments my hair and skin nicely. I find great difficulty in getting anything to suit my hair colour and complexion so I had to buy as then and there as I knew I would regret the chance of finding anything so beautiful again.
Last but not least, here are my new ankle boots from Topshop which cost me; £25 and I think that's a steal if I say so myself. Although, many people may associate boots with winter I don't think that's always necessarily true. Wear with shorts; boots can create that festival fever (sorry, deliberate use of alliteration) that we crave every summer! Also, boots are great for those overcast days where you don't know how to clash dull colours with a splash of colour. I recently wore them with my blue jeans,slightly rolled up at the end and a red, burgundy and white chequered shirt. There's SO many ways you can dress for boots so experiment and your see for yourself!
What's in my summer make-up bag?
I rarely review products on make-up I own so here is the latest update on some products worth buying in store today!
Firstly, my current favourite lip colour is within the lip butter range by Revlon in 80 called Strawberry Shortcake. I brought this for £7.99 in Boots As far as I know it is still being sold but I purchased this around this time a year ago but I instantly regretted it once I saw how pale it was (this was without trying it on by the way). I made a instant judgement, that this was the wrong colour for me. I therefore, put in away, out of sight knowing I would never touch it. However, a year later, I crossed sights with it again and THIS TIME I tried it on. I saw many you tube video's where they kept their lips light, pale and natural but with bright eyes. I experimented one day and I couldn't believe my creation. It look fantastic and the colour suited me better than I thought it did. Strange that! My advice to you is, try colours you think may not suit you because I guarantee you, they probarly will. It's the way you co-ordinate colours. Go onto other blog sites and youtube channels to give you a few helpful tips. One that note; If you want me to show you some of my make-up creations tell me in the comments below and I'll love to help you out!
The next product is from the youtube sensation Tany Burr's Eye Candy collection in Exotic island. Bright, bubbly and full of colour is the way I will describe this lip gloss. I came across this in my local Superdrug for £6.99 and I had to buy it! I've been a massive fan of Tanya Burr ever since I located her channel a couple of years ago. She has such amazing skin and I have always adored the way she can pull of such natural looking make-up! So, I brought the product and have loved it ever since. It is a fairly bright colour so I am planning to wear it when the weather is much warmer and when I go on holiday (of course)! My make-up tip- (inspired by Tanya Burr herself), is to keep the eyes and cheeks natural, go for a subtle pink shade and a touch of light pink blush. Try Hervana by Benefit!
Thirdly, is this beautiful rose gold blush by Sleek. The amazing benefits of this, is that the gold pigments embedded in with the pink captures the light on the skin; creating that natural glow and tan that we all would go insane for! I like mixing this blush over the top of my bronzer, creating gorgeous colourful cheeks. It's also shimmer and not matte so you can wear this out and look like a sparkling goddess. Good luck!
Finally I want to review a mascara I have been loving! A great cheap alternative for the They're Real Mascara (Please note: I have used this myself) , the Eye rock mascara within the Kate collection by Rimmel London, only £5.99 offers everything the high end one does too but for a much cheaper price! If applied lightly and steadily, you can produce fluttering lashes in an instant without any sticking together or in lumps. This summer is all about THE EYES! /o-o/ - (oh my, I made a sunglasses/ eye symbol) I feel very proud. Anyway, go as retro and lash extreme as you want!
Happy hunting ma'pretties!!
