Summer Shopping | Sally's and Savers Haul


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

My best friends and flatmates are obsessed with cleansing waters, I've tried the no7 one and wasn't impressed but I'm easily influenced and this was super cheap at £2.99 for 400ml so here we go again. These are great for your kit too. 

 St Moriz Mousse and Shimmering bronzing souffle

This pack was £4.99 for both, holy grail products that I always fall back on.

Nail Rock Kit £1.29

Got2b volumizing styling powder £2.99

This is my holy grail hair product, I am literally never without this. I you love big messy hair try this. 



Quick Tan Bronzing Mousse Medium Dark £6.99 with sallys discount

Ardell lashes 120 and demi wispies £2.30

L'oreal tecniart £9.99

Spray this on to dry or wet hair before heat and it creates a sleeker long lasting style. Tried and tested many times, it's the best. 

Garnier Summer Body £2.99

This is another trusty product that, I've been using for years also interestingly this is one of the only tans that Poppy can use that doesn't irritate eczema. 

Let me know if you have tried any of these products and if you still like these posts or prefer just makeup looks?

Thanks for reading xoxo

Retail Therapy | Illamasqua, Liz Earle & Soap and Glory


Every girl needs a little retail therapy, today was my day. If you read blogs, and watch youtube beauty videos you always have a list of recommendations and products you want to try! This is basically everything I have been lusting after recently!

I am really starting to get into Illamasqua at the moment, I am starting to get a bit bored of Mac products (The past couple of years that is all I have bought) and the artists at Illamasqua are always so quirky and fun! I bought the hydra veil primer (my flatmates got it recently and love it) eyebrow cake in motto and their concealer in cc210. I know the eyebrow colour is grey, but that's the colour ashy blondes or white/purple hair should use, avoid any colours with warmth! It doesn't look as grey and scary on the brows!

These are all repurchases, I never brought any of these over to Manchester with me, and nothing beats them! I am in love with the scent, if you haven't tried any they are a must!

Eventually jumped on the bandwagon, after so many people absolutely love this. In this set I got the Liz Earle cleanse and polish and 2 muslin cloths!

Let me know if you like or have tried any of these products! Thanks for reading xoxox

Last Minute Nights Out | Outfit & Makeup



Outfit:
Dress: Topshop
Belt: River Island
Bag: Primark
Necklace: Matalan
 
 
Last minute nights out are always a bit stressful, especially on a Monday night with work at 8am the next day, (lol) but this is what I through together. Just a quick post to get me back into the swing of things as I know I've been neglecting my blog. The last two months have flown by, I've been on holiday to Ibiza, I'm now two days away from finishing my job and I'm currently getting ready for Manchester in September, which includes buying a HUGE makeup kit (obviously post will come when it's all here, exciting stuff).
 
 
Stay tuned, I'm getting back on track now that I will have more spare time! xox

Just home from a long day shopping with my mother dearest, tried to pick up some last minute pieces I wanted for holidays but also had a few naughty purchases too! I wanted a new perfume and my mum recently got the Versace black noir which I thought I was going to get (its gorgeous too) but when I smelt the Yellow diamond and saw the set was only £19.99 I got it instead! It's a lovely floral scent, perfect for summer!





Picked up this candle in Tkmax in Caribbean Market, it is gorgeous!! Smells like tutti fruity sweets and sherbet. Also it was ONLY £5.99, so definitely look in there if you can't afford alot of Yankee Candles!




This bag is showing up red GRR, its really bright orange/coral!! It's going to be perfect for my hols and summer! (costed £25 and in shops now!)




My mum is a big jewellery person, she loves it!! She treated me to this gorgeous ring from a local boutique, I know it's not really available for you guys but its gorgeous!




Miss Sporty Nail polishes are on 3 for 2 at the moment, I picked up these!! My fav is the lemon!





Lastly I picked up these sunnies from Tkmax for only £12.99 Bargin! love the cat eye shape and the soft colours! I needed something with more protection for driving and holidays!

Make blue/green eyes pop!






All the eyeshadows are from the blush palette see below! and the glitter is mac reflects bronze!
The colours are quite daring and bold so if you feel you need to you could tone it down with more warm tone browns subsituting brighter oranges and reds.

Hope you guys like, please comment, oh and Im always open if you have any recommendations!

Here we go, ciao!

Im loving Lancaster (you might notice! lol I actually bought the whole 'Infinite bronze' collection oops! but these are the besties from it!) Below is the 'Beauty Escape 5-in-1 Powder Compact and it is awesome!! 2 Blushes (matt), a contour powder (matt) and 2 bronzers (matt + shimmer)! What more could you want......LOVE!

Cute Packaging??

And then more Lancaster... this is the Cool shimmer Blush in 'natural'.. which basically is a gorgeous creamy neautral toned/ bronzey blush with gold shimmer! Beaaaautiful for summer... oh and i also tried this out as an eyeshadow base! Worked wonders!

You will not believe how silky and creamy it is!


Estee Lauder Signature Satin Creme Blush
06 Pink Light

Not as creamy but isnt the colour uberrrrrr yummy?? Perfect for a healthy blush or even the doll look!




I am not realising all these products are face products! oops! Anyways.. this is another everyday gorrrrrrgeous bronzing product! It is the christian dior Bronzer, in 002 honey tan!

Messy?? Nahh, well loved! haha.. Iv been using EVERYDAY :)



What another Lancaster? Yup! This is the 'easy face bronzer brush' snappy! not.. in 002 Sunny!
This product is amazing and when I use it the need for foundation drops an awful lot, great for summer! It is basically a liquid bronzer! I apply this all over my face and then I add foundation down the middle of my face (problem area) and im good to go! I love it and I don't feel cakey or that my face is weighing down! lol





Last but not least my trusty mac 187 ( dirrrrty and out of shape in the photo =loved :)
Perfect for stippling foundation, and blending for a flawless face!


Ciao Darlings! xxxxxx

Summer MakeUp... Embrace it or Cake it?

Im not afraid to admit it, yes I am a complete makeup addict, Its my addiction, my drug... my passion! But what do we do in the summer? Wear the same amount and let it gradually sweat of our faces.   Not a good look!

To get to the point of this post is to show you all my face for the summer! Im trying to embrace my inner beauty and cut back a lot until who knows where it leads me?

But this summer, no eyeshadow, no eyeliner, no blush

Only a little bit of mascara, a little bit of foundation and some bronzer... Lipgloss is a necessity though!
No I don't have super clear skin, spots galore & red pigments.. Oh and lets not forget the breakout of freckles when I just step out into the sun! But you know what its time to embrace it!

whos joining me? Lets give it a go and let our skin breathe this summer :)



Good idea girls?

Mini Clinque haul


Colour surge eyeshadow 'frosted blossom' gorge for spring/summer.. really light shimmer lavender,pink!




Dont be scared.. I didnt actually buy a black lippie.. Its called an 'almost lipstick' and this ones called 'Black Honey'. Really this means they are super duper sheer, this one comes out as a really sheer but moisturizing blackberry red. Its soo glossy!



I was watching one of tanya burr's videos (pixiewoo2 on youtube so beautiful and talented!) anyways and she was using this foundation. I really loved the final result so i got it, clinique always are a bit on the small side with the size of their foundations though. It is indeed smaller in life.



Anti-Blemish solutions clearing moisturizer, I wasnt planning on getting this, sort of an impulse buy. I havent really got into using it yet but i like the idea of my skin getting better with this, not that i have bad acne of anything but i do get spots and break outs, boo! :(


I have wanted this moisturizer for soo long! Its lovely and silky, a little goes a long way and it makes my skin feel great. Its called the 'dramatically different moisturizing lotion' if you cant make out the photo. So far so good, been using it for about 3 days.
Picture heavy, sowwie, but I know i love a good look at products before i even think about buying!! Always interesting..
