My Summer Everyday Makeup Tutorial

Hello everyone! I can't believe I haven't blogged in over two months (weeps)! I have been CRAZY busy with my A-level exams and it was really difficult to keep on top of things :( but now I am FREE for the summer yaaayyy! And I decided what better than a makeup tutorial to get back into the swing of things... so this is my... "SUMMER EVERYDAY MAKEUP". This is for the days I go out and I really like the simple, fresh and dewy look. Enjoy!

SO the first thing I do is cleanse with the Neutrogena Spot Stress Control Cleanser (£3.99), I could not live without this product it is AMAZING, its a leave on cleanser so you just apply it with a cotton pad before your makeup and leave it on the skin, I NEVER get spots anymore this product has literally changed my life.

Then I like to moisturize using the Soap and Glory translucent BB cream (£12.00). This is amazing for summer as it has SPF 25 and leaves the skin feeling soft and protected, it is also a primer which is great for the heat. I just use my fingers to apply this.

I am now going onto skin! I am using the Bourjois Happy Light Foundation (£12.99) in the shade Vanilla Rose. I am using a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush (£8.99) to buff this into my skin. This foundation is really sheer coverage, nice and light for the summer, sort of a your skin but better. This gives a really fresh and clean base.

SO next up is concealer and today I am using the Maybelline Fit me Concealer in the shade 10 (£5.99). This concealer is really light and blendable, its also surprisingly moisturizing and very similar to the collection lasting perfection concealer. I am applying this to under my eyes, the chin, and a little bit on the forehead and nose, this concealer is great for highlighting and brightening the face.

Next up is brows and mine don't need all that much filling in so I like to use the Soap and Glory Archery Pen (£10.00) as it is idiot proof and helps me fill in any sparse areas.

 Next up is bronzing and being naturally extremely pale I do find the need to bronze up on a daily basis. Also because of the heat my bronzer sometimes seems to melt off! SO I have been beginning by using the Bourjois Bronzing Primer (£9.99) first and then using my sleek trio to contour and bronze, the Sleek contour kit in Medium (£10.00) is one of my favouritest products ever! Because I have quite a round face, I feel that the best results are achieved if I contour at a curve rather than a straight line.

Next up is eyes and so I began by priming my eyelids, and then creating a natural brown smokey eye with my ELF 100PC eyeshadow palette. I also lined my eyes with shadow to keep the look as natural as possible.

 And then last but not least... MASCARA. I am using my all time favourite mascara it is the Rimmel Last Accelerator Endless Mascara (£8.00) in brown. This mascara is so natural and lengthening, it isnt very heavy duty but I like that about it, makes it easy to get off.

 AND that is the finished look! I really hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Let me know what you think as I LOVE to read your comments, Ill be back on Friday with a snazzeyyy review for you, but for now thanks for reading and I will see you all very soon! BYE!:)xx

My favourite PROM dresses!

Hi everyone! As we're coming up to prom season, I thought it would only be fair if I shared my favourite dresses online right now perfectly suitable for a leaving ceremony or prom. I will link them all below them for those of you who are interested. Enjoy!

DRESS#1.

The first dress is this beautiful box pleat skater dress from LAVISH ALICE link here.
Its mint (very on trend) and collars which are a personal favourite of mine. This looks great bare legged but some simple tan tights would also look great. Some cream heels would look fantastic with this or even some white converse!

DRESS #2.

This dress is from a brand called Little Mistress by ASOS link here.
If you prefer a maxi option (sophisticated and grown up!) then this bad boy is for you. I love the colours and some metallic heels like the ones above or even some gold ones I think would look AMAZING. The shoulders have bows on them too which is so pretty!

Dress #3.

This beeeautiful dress is from Jack wills link here. 
Its tartan and skater style and looks so pretty with the flat shoes and bow. This would also look good with some sneakers or something. If the length scares you a bit getting some plain black tights would look great with this dress.

DRESS #4.

Chi Chi is a new favourite brand of mine and they an amazing selection of dresses on their website. This dress is £47.99 here.
I love the glamour of the glitter teamed with the cuteness of a collar this is a very beautiful dress. Some cool black heels (I personally would opt for some block heels) would looks amazing with this. This can work bare legged or even with some funky patterned tan tights!

DRESS#5.

So a more gothic/adventurous pick here is this LDB from AX paris which I love alot! Link here.
It would look great with a red lip and some chunky heels and a studded bag. This is the perfect balance of girly and rock chick. Once again some funky sheer patterned tights would also look great with these if you fancied covering up your legs a bit.

DRESS #6.

SO the final dress is the ULTIMATE girly dress and once again its from Chi Chi and its this beautiful pinky cream floral lace dress and its gorgeous! Link here.
Pretty much any shade shoe would look good with these I would probs opt for cream, pink or even a nice grey heel. This would look amazing with a tan by the way guys!

And that is it for todays guys I hope this gave you some inspiration! I'm thinking of doing a prom makeup tutorial so if youd like that let me know in the comments below! Don't forget to subscribe and I shall see you all very soon!:)

Afternoon everyone! Its that time of the month again... FAVOURITES! I just wanted to squeeze in some of my favourite products I have been using over the last two months and I hope you enjoy!:-) Any questions please feel free to comment below. Lets get starteeedd!

#1. RIMMEL WAKE ME UP FOUNDATION.

I needed a new spring foundation and after doing some research I decided to give 'Wake me up' by Rimmel London a go.Its medium coverage and is very dewy. It has got glitter particles in it which could be an issue for some of you but I find it very brightening it just makes me look so healthy. Great flawless coverage, lasts hours. BUY HERE for £8.99

#2. REAL TECHNIQUES EXPERT FACE BRUSH.

If you havent heard of Real Techniques they are a brush brand made by Samantha Chapman which are synthetic and super popular. This is their expert face brush which I found is amazing for foundation and cream blusher/bronzer. This is the softest brush EVER and a day of foundation hasn't gone by without using it. BUY HERE FOR £9.99.

#3. SOAP AND GLORY TRANSLUCENT BB CREAM.

This BB cream from Soap and Glory is AMAZING. The packaging is rather frustrating (toothpaste tube much??!) but the bb cream itself is fantastic. Its got everything, SPF, vitamins and its also a PRIMER. I did a full review of it here. BUY HERE FOR £12.00.

#4. SOAP AND GLORY ARCHERY BROW PEN.

So next up is an eyebrow pen from Soap and Glory which I reviewed last week HERE. This pen is awesome for natural looking brows. I have mine in 'Brownie Points' and its excellent. HIGHLY recommend. The waxy crayon is perfect for general shaping and the fine liner is perfect for drawing individual hairs. BUY HERE for £10.00.

#4. SLEEK FACE FORM CONTOUR KIT IN MEDIUM.

So this next product is a three part bronzer by sleek it's their CONTOUR KIT in the shade medium. I did a full whack review of this a couple of weeks ago which I shall link HERE. Its basically a bronzer-lover's dream because you get a matte brown for contour, a shimmery highlight and then a shimmery bronzer. What more could you want from a bronzer?! BUY HERE for £10.00

#5. MODELS OWN HYPER GEL NAIL POLISH IN PINK VENEER

This is my new favourite nail polish. I full on reviewed and swatched this here and it's so beautiful. The finish is very much 'gel' like I was very impressed and you don't need a million layers either, two coats is plenty! BUY HERE for £5.00.

#6. NEUTROGENA SKIN CARE.

Next up is a CLEANSER and this is honestly soooo goood! Its by neutrogena and I haven't tried any of their stuff before so I was very curious. I also tried it with a spot gel and together they have been a dream team honestly they are soo good. My skin has never looked so clear, highly recommend! The cleanser clears up the skin so well ready for a new day, and the gel clears spots within four hours!

BUY CLEANSER HERE FOR £3.99

BUY GEL HERE FOR £4.99.
