Confidence in a bag - Summer

FACE

Nars Bronzer in Laguna

Revlon BB Cream

Clarins Summer Bronzing Compact 

Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot mattifying powder

Soap and Glory Peach Party blush and highlight

Yes, two bronzers. One is more contour colour (laguna) and the other is to add warmth to my usually pale complexion, which is ok in the winter but in summer I look completely out of place. I've recently added the last 3 products to my makeup bag for want of trying them out and finding that they work well with my skin.

EYES

Seventeen Brow Sculpting pencil

Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping waterproof mascara

Soap and Glory The Daily Double in Velvet Pink and Brownie

Benefit's They're Real! Mascara

Again with the double products, surely I'm not the only one that puts on two different mascaras. I usually use the revlon one first followed by a coat of They're Real. I love this soap and glory shadow stick, I've been really impressed with their makeup line bar their mascara. 

BRUSHES

Real Techniques Blush Brush

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush

Not much to talk about that hasn't already been said about these brushes, if you don't own them, why the heck not?!

Still looking pale in the bottom pic *sigh* 

Out of all the products that I use to create my daily makeup look I would definitely recommend the Clarins bronzer, so pretty and rather large so it'll last you a long time :)

Hope you're having a good summer,

When the sun comes out...

In the UK, the sun has been shining full force, or as much force as it can have in England... So naturally everyone runs to the nearest patch of sun they can find and soak it all up (unless you're pale like me, add on slapping on SPF 50 to that sentence). My mum and I decided to go to the beach with woofie a.k.a Lola, and being in North Yorkshire, we decided to go to Saltburn Pier as we've been to Scarborough and Whitby so many times before. It was really cute to see a pier, I always imagine them to be in America not in the UK, imagine the realisation of my stupidity when I remembered that there are actually many piers in England...

After Saltburn, we clambered in the car and drove up and down the coast to find somewhere less windy, which turned out to be Sandsend, a gorgeous little seafront village where we had some fish 'n chips (oh so healthy) and a bit of a paddle in the shore. 

All in all, it was a really cute day and I recommend a day at the beach to anyone who needs a bit of an escape.

Oh and in other news I've finished my exams yay! Time for relaxing in a beer garden somewhere (more like sitting in my pj's inside my room).

How've you all been?

It's been a while

  

Topshop buys // On my to-read list // Love the longer nights

  

I've been reading Looking for Alaska, it's amazing! // Found this hilarious // Neon nail varnish is cute

  

Me n my bestie having a laugh at the photobooth effects // Doodlin' // Visited Trinity Leeds after watching The Great Gatsby and we got a ... fragrant cocktail

  

trying my hand at illustration // Coming to the end of year 13 means DEADLINES!! // Carrie Bradshaw is my favourite - so relatable.

  

absolutely love these fridge magnets from Barcelona - exciting, I know // My A2 Coursework final piece on Identity // My best friend and I journeyed to the lakes and we made it to the top of Coniston Old Man.

  

We stumbled upon this paradisal place on the descent of the 'big hill' // A cute visit to Beatrix Potter's House - Hill Top // The cute little fluffball that is Ernie, my bestie's dog.

  

Revision getting tiring so I decided to watch Ponyo instead // Ooo a lovely bath // Anything to avert revision

  

I bought some Dim Sum from M&S // And it was yummy // The summery weather is making us happy and my mum and I decided to have a picnic on the Stray

I'm sorry for the absence but y'know, exam season and all. I just wanted to update ya on my life which we all know is so interesting and fabulous (a girl can dream). So a few things have happened, I've finished high school forever (until I have to go back for my final exams), I celebrated the end of school by going out for drinks at Wetherspoons with people from my school and got merry to say the least. It's so strange how even on the last day of school I was meeting new people from school. I've also met a few more new people outside of school and feel like I'm generally growing up more (ugh cliché).

So if you're really interested in hearing more from me you can find me on twitter, tumblr, and instagram.
Love ya'll lots!
