China Print Style Guide

Recently I've been seeing a lot of blue & white china prints. Apart from it reminding me of the bedding in my

spare room it also makes me think of SPRING!!!

I love white & blue together in summer, there's something so nautical about it! The china prints are really pretty & feminine and can be worn in different ways (shorts, blouses, dresses...)

I wanted to show how versatile this print can be so I found a gorgeous pair of printed trousers from Zara and I have created 3 looks for you.

RIMMEL Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch Review

My favourite look for Spring/Summer is always a golden tanned sun-kissed look! We all like to look glowing & healthy right?!

To add to my collection of highlighting products I picked Rimmels new Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch RRP £4.99.

This product is available in 2 shades - Radiance Rose and Shimmering Sand. The Radiance Rose looked absolutely gorgeous but reminded me a lot of Benefits High Beam which I already have so I skipped that and picked up the more golden tone - Shimmering Sand!

The highlighter has warm hues of gold, and beige with a eye catching shimmer which looks great in the light!

To apply this I squeeze a pea size on my finger - I then dab this between 2 fingers and gently apply on my cheekbone and then any leftover on my brow bone. 

Before you apply make sure you have already powdered as this could make it loose its glisten. I like to apply mine in this order - primer, concealer, foundation, powder, highlighter, bronzer, blusher... and then you can always add some powder highlighter on top so it really stands out. Mac Soft & Gentle looks great!!!

Overall I give this product 4/5 it's very similar to Benefit Sun Beam but a quarter of the price!!!

Have you tried many highlighters? What's your favourite one?

Boots Haul - 3 for 2 Heaven

Over the weekend I popped into Boots to take advantage of the current 3 for 2 Offer!!!

When I'm in Boots I find it so easy to get carried away.... the bright lights, the delicious cocktail of perfumes, and of course - end less makeup! I usually end up leaving 30 minutes later covered in lipstick swatches and clutching a few new items to try out/add to my growing collection of products.

First on my wish list was Lee Stafford Argan Oil. Moroccon Hair Oils have been massive over the last 24 months - I already have L'oreal Mythical Oil from an old Glossybox but I wanted to try a different one. This was £11.99 for 50ml... Review coming soon!

From the Lee Stafford range I also purchased Bleach Blondes Shampoo & Conditioner. I hate it when my blonde highlights go brassy so purple shampoo really helps combat that - I've tried I few different ones but I really can't recommend this enough - these were £6.39 each

Barry M Gelly Nail Varnish - my friend let me try this a couple of days ago and I fell in love instantly so had to pop out and buy some. I choose the colours Papaya, Light Blue & Pink - £3.99 each

Benefit They're Real - INCREDIBLE. That is really all I can say!!! I'll be posting a review this week but I am in love with this mascara - £19.50

Benefit Fake Up - This product has been recently launched so I thought I'd pick it up to give it a go. My drawer of concealers seems to be growing very rapidly in the search for a bag eraser - £18.50

My overall bill came to around £55 after discount which I think was very reasonable for the amount/quality of products I picked up. The Benefit products weren't included in 3 for 2 but the lovely ladies popped in some samples to try.

Everybody loves a sample ♥

Have you taken advantage of the 3 for 2 offer? What's your opinion on Benefit Fake Up?

Face of the Day #1

I had this Friday off work and the sun actually showed itself for a good 10 minutes!... I'm getting VERY excited for summer!!!

I went to a restaurant on the floating harbour in Bristol call AQUA for a delicious lunch with my boyfriend, we then went to @Bristol - this was a fun science kinda place, really hands on quite good for some afternoon lols!

My FOTD is what I've been wearing a lot recently... absolutly love NYX Jumbo Pencils so quick and make a great base.

My Korres Lip Butter is probably one of my favourite items in my makeup bag, so moisturising but also has a faint colour so it's not too boring.

Natural Collection Concealer Stick - Light
