10 Summer Must Haves☀

Heyyy! England's finally sharing the sunshine so I've decided to share some fashion and beauty must haves for this summer, hope you enjoy!

1. Topshop's Poppy Garden Print Bardot Top £26

Bardot tops are very in this year! This top in particular is gorgeous, I love the colours and print. Topshop sell many of these tops, in different styles and prints to suit everyone. One thing I love about these tops is they're very airy in the sun, which keeps you cool. I have this top and a similar white one  and I wear them all the time, they're so flattering and floaty. This top has a lovely cross over back and will look beautiful with a tan.

2. Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Natural Healthy Glow Powder £35.50

This product adds a lovely glow to your face and there are different shade to match your hair colour which makes it perfect for everyone. This powder gives a light coverage and pigments are less intense than a bronzer. It has a pink tint for blondes and apricot tint for brunettes and leaves a light sun kissed effect to deliver a burst of radiance. 

3. Topshop's Kingdom Ghillie Pointed Shoes £59

Now these lace up shoes have been noted as 'the shoes that stole summer' & they're totally right! I love the pointed toe on these shoes, and they're available in many colours. I've wanted a pair of these for ages and a pair of lace up heels. They're very slimming and look incredible on, an absolute must have!

4. The Body Shop Brush on Radiance £14

Aren't these highlighting pearls just the perfect shades? Truly gorgeous! They give a lovely shimmery finish and help give the skin a luminescent glow. Using these on the cheek bones and to highlight the nose and lips to create a perfect face shape. 

5. River Island's Pacha Crochet Halter Neck Top £20

This top is available in black and cream. It's the perfect cover up if you're on holiday or just to wear out when the weather is hot. Unlike most crochet tops, this top has a lined chest area so it's not see-through which I think is a bonus/ 

6. Mac Lipstick in Morange £15.50

I'm all about orange lips this year! I have recently purchased this lipstick and the colour is perfect! It really compliments tanned and olive skin tones. I thought this colour is perfect for festivals and just wearing out casually. Every girl needs a orange lipstick in their makeup bag this summer.

7. Topshop's Snake Chain Floppy Hat £32

I'm in love with these floppy hats. They can be dressed up or down, and will definitely get a lot of wear out it. It's important to protect your head from the sun if you're out for long periods of time, so why not protect it with something as stylish as this floppy hat? I really love the snake chain detail, a little chain can make a whole lot of difference.

8. Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Multicolour £44

This duo bronzer offers the pure, fresh radiance of spending days outdoors. I wore this product for my leavers ball and fell in love with it. You can read about my leavers ball here. Blend the two colours together over the face to give your face a natural tanned glow. Add the lightest shade to the areas which capture the light and the darker shade below the cheek bones for a subtle contour. This really is a beautiful bronzer which you'll all fall in love with!

9. Topshop's Floral Print Strappy Bodycon Tunic £36

This beautiful print should be in everyone's wardrobe. This is a very flattering tunic and the cross over back is gorgeous. 

10. Tarte Showstopper Clay Palette £38

This palette has everything you need for summer, it's warm shades for the eyes and cheek are beautiful. It includes 6 eyeshadow shades, a full size blusher and a highlighter/bronzer to create the perfect contour look. 

So There we have it. Those are my summer must haves.. What are yours?

Leavers ball

Hello

So I just had my leavers ball, and it was amazing! It's scary how fast the past two years of sixth form have gone and being with the same people for the past 7 years and that was the last time we'll be together as a year group is upsetting. But now's the time to go our separate ways and achieve great things.

The evening was held at Thropeness country club and it really was a beautiful venue with a lovely view of the sea. In this post I'm going to show what makeup I wore and my outfit and then I few photographs I took. 

So I'd arranged to get my makeup done at Chanel for the ball, as I love getting my makeup done. This cost £25 and with that you were able to spend that £25 on a Chanel product, which I think is really good. With this I decided to buy the lipstick she used and a lip liner to go with it. I don't have a photograph of my makeup close up but I'll list all of the products she used. For the base she applied 'le blanc de chanel' £33, which is a multi-use illuminating base, this made the skin look really fresh and gives a lovely finish when the foundation is applied. For the foundation she used 'vitalumière' £36, this gives a satin-smooth finish, it has a fuller coverage than my Chanel foundation but I thought this would last longer as I needed to keep it on all night and she gave me a little sample to take home with me to use. She then used the 'correcteur perfection' £27, long lasting concealer under my eyes and on my eyelids to correct the colour and creates a nice base for the eyeshadow. For my eyes she used the 'les 4 ombres' eyeshadow quad £36, the colours she used were the lightest 2 from the colour '266 Tissé Rivoli' and the 2nd darkest from the colour '202 Tissé Camélia', these eyeshadows are lovely, they're so pigmented and have a beautiful glittery finish. For my eyeliner she applied the 'écriture de Chanel' eyeliner pen with effortless definition £27, on my eyelid and to then make the flick shadowy she applied 'stylo yeux waterproof' long lasting eyeliner £19, in shade '88 noir intense'. The mascara she used was the 'le volume de Chanel waterproof' mascara £25, and also give me a little sample to use. For my brows she applied the middle shade of 'le sourcil de Chanel' perfect brows £43, just to give them a natural finish. I decided to wear a bronzer instead of a blusher, so she used the new summer 'les beiges healthy glow multi-colour' in colour No.2 £44, I absolutely loved this bronzer and will probably buy this before it goes! For my lips she used the 'le crayon lèvres' precision lip definer £17.50, in the shade '55 Fuschsia' and for the lipstick 'rouge allure velvet luminous matte lip colour' £26 in the shade '50 la Romanesque', I loved the lipstick and thought I'd have to keep reapplying it all night after I ate and drank, but I didn't need to! It's really amazing. 

This is my little Ted Baker clutch bag, which I am in love with. It was £99 but I got it when there was 20% off. It's a lovely leather cute bag, with a gorgeous gold bow detail on the front. This bag has patent sides and comes with a gold cross body strap, if you wanted to wear it as a cross body bag. I got so many compliments on this bag as it truly is beautiful. 

I got my heels from Lipsy, £65. They are just a plain black suede, with a gold clip to do up the strap on the ankle. These are surprisingly comfortable and I love all of Lipsy's heels, they have a cutest little details on the sole. My dress was from French Connection, £79.

Sunnies out ☀

Summer is my favourite time of year. Everyone's so much happier, waking up to the sun. I love having a tan, and I get so brown, it's great. But my hardest decision each morning is what sunglasses to wear.. I have a slight obsession with buying sunglasses, I don't know what it is, I just like to have the choice between them all. 

These were my latest addition to my collection. They're £16 from Topshop. I almost always buy my sunglasses from Topshop because I'm able to try them on before buying them. I have quite small features on my face, so some sunglasses look ridiculous on me. But I really like the cat eye glasses at the moment, I think they really compliment my head shape. My excuse to buy these was because I don't have just a plain black pair, so of course I needed some. 

Again, this pair were from Topshop, I got these last year. They were £16, I thought they were great for festivals, as they're really chunky. Tortoise shell goes with everything. As these are really bold, they make a statement to my outfit. The shape and fit of these glasses are amazing, they're really comfortable to wear.

 These glasses were £14 from Topshop. I really like the shape of them, and the round lens is really good for me, as of my small features. But the frame gives them more of a shape which I really like. 

These have to be my favourite pair of sunglasses! Just the colour of them, they're from Asos, £35, I was a bit unsure about these at first, because they're so big and chunky. But they actually look really good for summer, especially the festivals I've got coming up. I can't wait to wear them. 

I bought these sunglasses to go to my first ever festival, latitude 2013, and it's been the best one so far! It sounds stupid but they actually have a lot of memories from that year. They were £14 from Topshop. I now wouldn't go for this shape when looking for sunglasses, but the frame of this pair is so pretty! It's floral and glittery. 

& of course, everyone needs a round pair! Topshop £16.
