Hi guys!
Today I will be talking all about my summer favourites. Summer is almost over so I thought it would be good to show you guys some of the things I have been loving this year!
First up is the Black Cami dress from Primark. This cost me £5 and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I even bought it in white because I love it so much! I wear it with a little bandeau underneath because otherwise it is kinda see through and I don't want to flash my boobs too much! I tend to wear this with sandals and a little cardigan, great for hot weather and I've worn it a lot this summer!
Next is the Nirvana vest top from Primark which cost me £8. It has a really cool twisted back and it looks really nice with a bandeau or cami top underneath. It looks good with skinny jeans or a pair of shorts, depending on the weather. This has been one of my go to looks recently as it is so comfortable to wear, especially on really hot days (not that we've had many) and goes with pretty much anything.
Next up is the Vera Wang Rock Princess perfume. I absolutely love this perfume. It actually belonged to my mum initially but she was really nice and gave it to me as she didn't wear it very much. This perfume has 'notes of peach, raspberry and bergamot; heart notes of heliotrope, rose, jasmine and lily; and bottom notes are cashmere wood, musk, iris, and coconut'. The peach and lily notes really come through and make this perfume great for days or evenings. This costs £22 on Amazon for 100ml, so really not bad at all for a great perfume which has a scent that lasts all day!
Fourthly is the Seventeen Instant Glow Shimmer Brick which sells for £4.99 at Boots. I love this shimmer brick as the shades are all gorgeous and give a really subtle glow to your skin. There are 4 different shades in the palette and they all blend together to give a great effect on your skin. I hate bronzers that make your skin too dark as I am very pale and usually bronzers make me look like I've had a fake tan disaster! This one however, blends well with my skin and just gives me a nice glow. Definitely a must have this summer!
Next is Rhubarb and Vanilla Body Butter from Wilkinsons. I absolutely love the smell of this product! It lasts all day and makes your skin feel so soft. I was unsure when I first bought it as it was so cheap (99p); I didn't think it would be that brilliant but I was so wrong. I now own this body butter in Strawberry and Pomegranate and Blueberry and Grape too because I can't get enough of the scents. I have had loads of compliments since using this and it shows that you don't need to spend a lot of money to get a great product!
Next up is the Raspberry and Vanilla Milk Original Source shower gel. This product smells bloody lovely and the smell lasts for most of the day. This product makes your skin smell amazing and really soft and gives me a great boost in the morning. I actually look forward to using this product as it makes me feel really confident. I will definitely be using this product for the rest of the year.
Finally, the Brown Gladiator Sandals from Primark, which cost £10. These sandals go with pretty much any outfit, which is why I have added them to my summer favourites. I don't think I have taken them off this summer tbh. They are so comfortable and for £10, a real bargain. They have lasted me since June and they are still in great condition so that's a positive too. I would definitely recommend investing in a pair of these!
What are your summer favourites? Any recommendations?
I can't believe November is here already!
It does mean however, that I can share with you some things I have been LOVING this October.
First up is the Imperial Leather Citrus Burst Shower Gel. I love my shower gels and every time I go shopping I will always pick up a new one! This is my current favourite. The scent is gorgeous. It is so refreshing and really picks me up in the shower. I will definitely be using this for the rest of the year. Second is the Nivea Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover. This stuff is so lovely. It has a really clean, scent, almost like baby powder and it gets your makeup off so easily. I was skeptical about this, as the first time I used this I almost blinded myself. I shouldn't have been so stupid and used so much of the stuff though. So that's my own silly fault! Next is the Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Omega Repair BB Beauty Balm. This hair treatment is amazing. I have been using it for a couple of months now and the difference it has made to my hair is unbelievable. My hair is extremely frazzled and dry and I do struggle to find products that work, but this makes my hair so manageable and much smoother. This will definitely be used well into winter, as the cold always makes my hair go CRAZY. This is well worth a try especially as it is only £2.74 at Boots. Next up is the Glade Cosy Apple and Cinnamon Air and Fabric Spray. This is a must have if you love Christmas! The spiced scent is gorgeous and the house smells amazing now. I have only owned this for a week, but I will be using this well into the winter.
My must have foundation is the Seventeen Stay Time foundation, which I did a review of the other day (find it here). This is perfect for those with oily skin and stays in place all day! Next is the Maybelline Cover Stick. I have loved this cover stick throughout October. It has such a creamy consistency and is really easy to apply. It covers blemishes and dark circles and makes your skin look amazing. The final makeup item I have been loving is the Bourjois Paris Little Round Pot Intense Eyeshadow (03). I have owned this for some time now, and I did a previous review in my 2014 Makeup Favourites. I have only recently started wearing it again though, after using some of my other eye shadows a bit more. This colour is absolutely gorgeous, and the sparkle looks great in the winter months.
Finally, my favourite perfume of October (probably of the year) is Beyonce Heat. I absolutely love this perfume. With a combination of almond macaroon, honeysuckle nectar, creme de musk and red vanilla orchid, this perfume screams autumn. I fell good when I wear it and my boyfriend has commented on how nice I smell multiple times whilst wearing this, which is nice!
What are your October favourites? Do you agree with any of my choices?
Hello everyone!
Today's review will be about the new Seventeen Stay Time Foundation.
Seventeen has fast become one of my new favourite cosmetic brands, due to the high quality and reasonable price of all of their products. I have previously owned the Seventeen Miracle Matte Foundation, but I found it a bit too dark for my skin tone. I had no other issues with this foundation apart from the shade, so that is why I picked up this new release foundation.
I bought this foundation from Boots for £6.49, which for a new product is pretty cheap. I spotted it straight away because I could see that there were lighter shades available. After doing several swatches, I opted for the Soft Ivory shade as this seemed to match my skin tone perfectly.
I love this foundation. I have only owned it for about 3 days but already I have noticed the difference it has made to my skin. It looks healthier and the foundation doesn't sit too heavily on my skin unlike some others I have tried. I am incredibly pale, so it has become extremely difficult to find products that suit my skin tone, but this one adapts amazingly well. I don't even need to use much product as the coverage is fairly high with only a pea size amount, which means that this foundation should last quite some time.
The other positive about this foundation is the texture. It feels lovely and creamy and almost feels like a mousse when you apply it to your face. It doesn't go blotchy or streak and it stays put for hours.
I would definitely recommend!
Have you tried this product? Are there any other Seventeen products you would recommend?
