June favourites!

Good morning everyone, I hope your week has been beautiful and wonderful, I''m sorry this is so dreadfully late (where did this month go?!) but still it's only fitting to do my favourite products/things of the month:


SO these are the bad boys this month, I will now go into further detail as to what and why they are my favourites, enjoy :-)!







First up is a blush from ELF. You can buy it online for £3.75, buy it here. This is a beautifully simple blush, it's not too shimmery it's pretty matte and basic, but that's what makes it so great. You can apply one layer for a simple glow, or layer it up for a more defined look. I have been wearing this everyday throughout June.






Blueberry ice cream! This is my faaaavourite nail varnish right now, that and strawberry ice cream. I bought this while in Bristol and I can happily say I've fell in love. I'm wearing the colour in this favourites as you can probably tell. This colour is sooo summery and beautiful, it has the perfect amount of shine and only requires one to two layers. You can buy this for £2.99. Buy here...







Next up is a shaving cream & shower gel in one. This is the nivea double effect shower and shave and basically its just a really great shaving cream. The gel itself is white and pearly if that makes sense. It's extremely frothy and bubbly which is perfect for shaving, and just gives you a really clean shave which feels super soft. A little bit goes a really long way too which is always a plus I must say. I bought this from poundland for you guessed it £1, I'm sure you could pick it up elsewhere too.




The next product I have raved and raved about on this blog so much already, I have a review you can easily check out, as I have spoken about it so much already I don't want to ramble on. Basically this is a great summer exfoliator it smells great, a little but goes a long way, it's quick and it leaves your skin feeling the softest of the soft I cannot recommend this enough. You can buy this for £8.00, buy here...




This has been my staple leg moisturizer for probably a year now. The best thing about this is that it claims to slow down the growth of hair which is exactly what I need I'm like a cactus I really am even after one day!:O I used this endlessly on holiday it's almost like a milk it's super runny and super effective and I agree that after probably a week of daily use, you begin to see the difference in the speed of growth, very scientific! You can purchase this for £5.25 buy it here... another thing I highly recommend for my fellow cactuses!;-)




This next product is a lip balm. I'm going to be honest, I suffer with chapped lips particularly in winter, I never used to, ever since I started wearing lipstick for some reason...? But anyway every morning I like a really buttery lip balm as opposed to my body shop lip roll on which is quite oily. This is just really soothing and fixed my chapped lips problem in no more than a week. Another great and I mean  GREAT thing about this balm is how cheap it is, you can purchase this at tesco and I believe tesco only. I couldn't find it online but you can just pop into the store their £1.25 for THREE. Theres this green one, then two original blue ones you can't miss them. Unless of course their sold because they are just so damn popular, this is a frequent issue with this balm. Once again, highly recommend!




One type of product have been particularly enjoying is waterproof mascara. I had prom this month and lots of my friends I'll probably never see again and so I suspected tear and ran to boots to get a waterproof mascara. This bad boy was only £1.99 PURE BARGAIN! This product is not only lovely and cheap, but it is also very much waterproof. It's a nightmare to get off but then at least I know it's doing it's job I suppose? The brush is strange but after a few applications I got used to it. Happy chappyy:-) buy it here...






This next product is probably slightly strange but then again we all need to use deodorant. Hot weather tends to mean more sweat, uw. This is not only off putting when you can smell it on someone, but also SEEING bit patches isn't too pleasant so this deodorant has been my best friend this month. It's called clean sensation and it is such a nice fresh feeling. It's almost foamy if that makes sense. I don't think it lasts 48 hours but it's still and all-dayer and I highly recommend this. I'm not too sure on the scent I think it's meant to be odour-free but then again I can't smell so I'm not too sure. Buy it here...

The final thing I've been loving during the month is my converse or as I've been calling my PROM-verse. I wore these to prom (post dedicated coming soon!) and they were the comfiest most cool shoes ever. I don't want to give anything away, but they are just so worth the money, they last a lifetime, Mr Chuck Taylor, I LOVE YOU!:-D



And that's it for my favourite products last month. I do hope you have enjoyed this post if you have do give it a lovely little comment like you usually do they make me soooo happy and I love reading and commenting. Thank you so much for reading I shall see you all very soon, I hope you all have a lovely week:-) love Annie:-)xxx

Converse with me... | PART2

Morning everyone! I am back with some more converse for you today YEAH BABEEY!;-) You've got to love converse, if your unaware of the brand (and been living under a rock for your whole life or something!) they are an american baseball boot brand which are so popular and so amazing. This post is basically going to be an overview of a few collections of converse into easy categories that your personalities can relate to, so sit back and enjoy!:-)


SO the first category is going to be...

LINKS (From top left across)
(1)   , (2)   , (3)   , (4)   , (5)

I thought I would begin with a bombshell. The alternatives. When people say converse sometimes we just immediately thing baseball boots, I know I do. But converse have opened up their market and brought out some lovely alternative footwear, such and sandals and deck shoes. These are so fun and quirky and I think are an intelligent way of showing your fashion.

Next up are:

The double tongues! You either love or hate the multiple tongues, I don;t quite know where I stand with them, I love the grey ones from office above. These are quirky and different but not too daring. 

Next up are...


LINKS (From top left across)
(1)   , (2)   , (3)   , (4)   , (5).

The BASICS. I love these. Says a lot about my personality doesn't it?!:P These are perfect for school uniforms and gym kits, they are super comfy and last YEARS I guarantee. My black school converse have lasted a mighty two years of school wear and tear and they still look great. The white ones would be great for your gym lessons, they not only look good but are MADE for doing sports so where can you go wrong?

And then last but most certainly not least...


WOW. There are no words for these babies. Personally, I'm not sure if I'd wear them myself, but I know for a fact there are people that are going to be all over these. These are so fun and interesting and would definitely grab attention, they are almost like wedges not heels but who cares their beautiful!:-)

AND that is it everyone, I do hope you have enjoyed this post, I always love to read your comments so if you liked or even loved any of these converse trainers than do give it a cheeky little comment, you could even subscribe to me on bloglovin,l links are all on the side. Thank you for reading, I love you all, love Annie :-)xx

Converse With Me... | PART1

Good morning everyone! Happy Thursday to everyone:-) I have a little treat for you today in the form of a pair... converse. Converse are probably one of the most well known footwear brands around the world and why shouldn't they be their amazing. I have a major love for converse I have four pairs but still want more! So here is my guide for all you lovelies on purchasing converse for this summer, 2013.


So I've split them into specific categories for each personality, enjoy :-) Let me know which category your in.

LINKS: (From top left across)
(1)  , (2)  ,  (3)  , (4)  , (5).

Here are the 'Girly Converse'. These are super-cute for a date, or with pretty skater skirts and lace. They are particularly great if your favourite colour is PINK!;-) I don't know how well the sequins and the glitter stays put I've never had a pair before, if you have let me know in the comments:-)

Another great tip for girly converse is to replace the laces for RIBBONS. You can buy special ribbon laces on ebay for a couple of pounds, or you could just cut your own ribbon for them. This would be super cute and this is what I doing for my prom :-)




Moving onto...


LINKS (From top left across)
(1)   , (2)   , (3)   , (4)   , (5).

'Printed converse' are not for the faint hearted. Their for the bold ones of us, the ones who love brightness and colour and maybe just something new and fresh. Mixing prints or 'prixing' is always popular and trendy as long as you have the confidence to carry them off.

LINKS (From top left across)
(1)   , (2)   , (3)   , (4)   , (5).

CALLING-ALL-GEEKS! (Or maybe just wanna-be geeks like me) these converse are perfect for the comic book, superhero hearting fans. These are so cool and could be worn with a superhero top or just something bright and bubbly. My favourite are the retro superman ones from office.

Textures-babeey! I Absolutely love the denim ones from bank, these are great for sprucing up your look without going too over the top. I find these are great in the winter because they are not only warm but trendy.. Some are even lined with fur (Office 64.99) even better for the winter months!

And that's it for part 1 of converse with me! I will be doing a cheeky little part 2 next week so stay tuned for more converse! If you liked this post do give it a little comment as I really do enjoy them. Don't forget you could always subscribe to toad road fashion on bloglovin if you would like to read me on a more frequent basis. Thank you for reading :-) xxx
