First and foremost, it's summer! I realise it's like middle July and summer has been around a while but I just can't contain my excitement! I have created this blog post for you guys to give you the low-down on some make-up, plus other things and let you know what I'm loving.
The first thing on my A-list is the Smash-box contouring kit which gets me all starry eyed just looking at it. I have not stopped using this palette. Beautifully presented and the shades are perfect for my fair skin. The bonus part to this make-up palette is that it has instructions on how to contour your face, bronze and highlight. It has helped me master the look and it's so easy and simple to use. You can achieve high definition results in less than 5 minutes. Its amazing. It's a little pricey but it's worth splashing the cash as I couldn't be more happy with it.
This Mac lipstick is becoming my all- time favourite lipstick. It's a light nude pink and it goes with everything!! I wore this on holiday and it lights up the room. It's not fluorescent or anything but it certainty turns a few heads. The picture clearly shows the depth of it's use. Team this beauty with glittering or shimmering eye pink eye shadows for that girly summer kissed glow. It looks great with tank tops, jeans for the day and with pretty dresses in the night. I wore this on holiday with my white and pink floral dress and it looked utterly gorgeous. I kept my eyes and cheeks minimal because it did all the work at transforming the look. Can't rate this enough!
Benefit was the first brand I brought make-up from and it has forever stayed my one and only. Having loved my mini Hoola bronzer, I decided I would buy the bronzer kit which came with minature versions of their best-sellers. I can honestly say, all of what was in there, I used most days on holiday and I'm still wearing now. The Hoola lip-gloss goes beautifully over Mac's Velvet Teddy (which I can't find, and it's upsetting me, considering how fast it goes out of stock!) I have the bigger version of the Watts Up highlighter so I knew I would be using that alot. The pretty shimmery nude eyeshadow is a perfect base for a darker shade to blend in with. I didn't realise how much of a difference one product can make to my make-up, it's wonderful!
Random favourite but this ring is just gorgeous! I brought this at my local church fate. Originally from Debenhams stores, I got this at a cheaper price and there's nothing wrong with the quality. It jazzes up any plain outfit. As you can tell by the picture (below) I am wearing some plain denim shorts and a grey tank top so if this ring can make me feel somewhat glam then that says something.
I recently purchased this book having seen it advertised in my vogue magazine. First impressions were actually that I didn't like it haha. It was written so different to anything else that I have read and I found it difficult to follow but as I read more and more I began to understand it. The best way to describe the book would be 'alive' and 'energetic' Every page is full of thoughts, feelings and images of each and every situation this girl is going through.
