Hello Lovlies,

So today the sun is really shining here in England! Everything is beautiful, and every body is happy, what more could you want! We started the day with a lovely country pub lunch, and we are still absolutely stuffed! I was treated after the trauma of having my ears pierced (lol I know I should have had this done many moons ago, but Im happy with them).  So why not carry on the Summer blog post vibe with a summer nails post!

I am L O V I N G  the candy pinks for summer! Always, and you can't really go wrong with the Revlon Formulas so these 2 colours went straight into my basket at the store.




  I added two new shades to my collection today, I could not stop staring at them...just look! These shades are just gorgeous and perfect for those hot summer months (eagerly awaiting them to wear cute summer clothes). I picked up these two Revlon polishes in the shades; Vivacious & Flirt. Also similar to the polish I am wearing, can we just tell I'm obsessed with these colours - the bubblegum polish I'm wearing is by Seventeen.




I am aware that these polishes look similar in many ways, however once swatched and on my nails, they will both look effortlessly unique. Also a cute way to add a different polish thats similar to your ring finger, for a different look perhaps?


When the post is always about that floral background...

Hello everyone,

  So recently I purchased Benefit's new Roller Lash Mascara whilst traveling on holiday in duty free, thinking it looks amazing and I've seen great reviews so why the hell not?! Well It certainly didn't disappoint.



As a massive fan of the 'They're Real' mascara making my lashes look incredible their new mascara definitely tops it, making them look insane!





With my lashes being fairly long anyway this mascara works amazingly well for me.   I have been receiving many compliments of family and friends, which is always a good sign.   I honestly can't find any flaws to the Roller Lash mascara...

I find it to last all day on me - and beyond, It's black as black can be, the wand separates lashes just enough with adding a lovely curl without even curling before hand, adding even more length plus 0% fall out onto my skin.   Also strange one, this mascara seems somewhat waterproof, not fully but don't worry ladies enough for a little cry, so let it out and nobody will ever know!



Although this Mascara is a little pricey, you really do get what you are actually paying for here! Amazing product, a well loved and trusted brand, and look at the beautiful packaging (as always with Benefit products) you really can't go wrong! Give it a go and tell me what you think!

Hello everyone,

 So for the longest time I have been constantly searching for the perfect purple/pinky lip colour...and I have finally found the one!




MAC Flat Out Fabulous along with MAC Magenta Lip Pencil = utter summer lip perfection without a doubt!

Plum/purple tones work well with the Retro Matte finish of this lipstick and the boldness of the colour.   Also it really seems to suit my skin tones, as I think it would on many others too especially a dark complexion.   Many people have been asking me what I'm wearing and that they love it so much, compliments are always good things!   This lipstick is also very opaque so often only one coat is needed which is brilliant for my purse to hear.   With the colour pay off being ever so great, you'll never get lost with this lipstick on!




The colour match of the Lip Liner is also almost identical.   A Lip Liner is for sure needed with this Lipstick, great staying power, however it is matte so obviously it has the tendency to bleed...never a great look.   And being such a vivid colour that you can't miss in a hurry, I wouldn't recommend risking no Lip Liner.




Especially for the summer this is perfect, with a dramatic winged eyeliner to go with the 'Matte Retro' theme, and extra long lashes.   The lasting power is 10x better with the Lip Liner added underneath, but only a few hours extra so obviously every time you eat/drink etc check and top up.




Overall I am completely in love with the look this lip combo gives me, please comment below if you know of anymore purple lip shades I may like!

Lip Liner - Magenta - £12.50
Lipstick - Flat Out Fabulous - £15.50      current prices at Selfridges

Hey everyone,

So I recently came back from my holiday in Fuerteventura, here are a few coastal photos from my day at the beautiful beach...



The sand was perfect, am I the only one who likes the feeling of sand in-between my toes? Im such a beach bum at heart.

Hello everyone,

So today I'm going to share with you my most memorable and treasured perfume, that I will probably keep in my collection forever.   Dun...dun...dun...which is my beloved Flora by Gucci in the scent Gorgeous Gardenia!

Lets just take a moment to appreciate how pretty it looks...

So today I thought I'd share with you three of my best dupes that I have in my collection right now...


Also Technic's High Lights Liquid Highlighter being a dupe for Benefit's High beam face Highlighter.

Then last but not least The Body Shop 02 eye-shadow, being a pretty close dupe for MAC's Nylon eye-shadow.

So to start off with The 'Look Beauty cheeky trio palette'.   I picked this up before jetting off to spain in February as I wanted to keep the amount of makeup I was travelling with very light, and this being the perfect handbag size was right up my street! I picked up the shade Peach Melba suggested for medium skin tones, and I have to say all the shades are very pigmented.   The trio includes a Matte contour shade, a rosey gold ish shimmery blush (but not too shimmery) and a beautiful highlighter shade.   Now a matte bronzer is often hard to find in the drugstore but I definitely recommend this.   Now onto the dupe, The urban decay naked flushed palette in the shade 'streak' costing £22 and the look beauty palette costing me £3 massive bargain.

sorry that they are not perfect, I have been using it.

It also gives a fool proof of 'how to' on the back if your new to makeup.

The only problem is I think this product has been discontinued since February, therefore I could only find this one for £12 available from superdrug.

not sure why I swatched it twice!

still in the old packaging

      

also not sure why it doesn't have a name?

However the only similar colour I could find on their website was 101 golden girl which I hope is almost the same as I haven't tried and tested their new eye-shadow range.

Hey everyone,

I have been considering to make a beauty/fashion/lifestyle blog for about 3 years now, and the time has finally come where I can commit most of my time to it.   I have a passion for writing and photography so this is perfect for me! I hope to give you the best blog posts and pictures that I can.   I am so excited about this and the future for us, thank youuuuu!
