My Summer Makeup ~ Top Ten Tips

Hello all and here i am with another post!

So recently I've been getting super excited for summer, because it's literally round the corner.
So these are some tips that I've picked up for summer makeup looks, just to help you a little. So enjoy!

Top Tip No1: Don't go overboard with makeup. This is because, personally i think summer is about just being free and sitting by the sea, not spending hours on make-up when you could be out with friends!

Top Tip No2: GO BRIGHT! Every single summer i see thousands of people wearing bright lipsticks, or bright blush and it looks amazing in bright weather. This is just the same as in winter, we like darker colours for our lips and face.

Top Tip No3: Volumize lashes. I always find that it adds a fresher look to your eyes and can make them look bigger - which is great for the summer time.

Top Tip No4: Pair things together. For example - wear some red lipstick with a rouge coloured blush. This looks especially good with brighter colours!

Top Tip No5: Go matte. Instead of using a glossy lip product use a matte lipstick. It makes you lips look bolder and adds a more dramatic effect.

Top Tip No6: Moisturizers are the key. Make sure to moisturize your face daily, it really does help you to feel more awake and happier!!

Top Tip No7: Use Bronzers. If the summer weather hasn't hit you yet, make sure to use bronzers just to give that extra darker hint to your skin (without the sun.)

Top Tip No8: Add that extra effect with winged eyeliner. Winged eyeliner can go with anything because there are so many ways that you can shape it. Personally, this is a great look for any season.

Top Tip No9: Keep your eyes bright. Go for orange or gold colours when it comes to eye shadow, especially if your using black mascara/ black eyeliner.

Top Tip No10: Be yourself! I know this is a simple one but this season it's all about standing out of the crowd. Put your own twist to the tips above and you've got all that summer could ask for!

I hope you found these helpful and enjoy the sunny weather when it comes!

Talk to you soon...

Saturday Night Pamper

Hello all!

Today i thought i would post about something a little different. So as my blog isn't only about hauls or makeup etc, something came to mind and it was this. I love little pampery things, so if you have a spare night and you've had a stressed out day then just follow these tips and you'll be all relaxed (hopefully!)

So first get into some comfy gear, mine is most definitely a slouchy top and some comfy trousers, joggy bottoms, or any kind of baggy trouser. Or you can always get into your pj's and get your night gown on because they help your body feel relaxed.

Next, you want to wash off any makeup that you have on. You can do this by using any type of makeup remover or a toning lotion, whichever one you choose it will take off any makeup you have on. Then put on your favorite candle, this will just make the atmosphere around you more calming. I recommended a bland smell, so it doesn't take over all of the other scents surrounding you!

Then, put on a face mask. I personally use the body shop warming face mask but whichever one you chose will be right for you. While you have the mask on, you can go in a bath bombed bath! Stay in there for about 15-20 mins, just so you can make sure that all of the face mask has soaked in to your skin.

After that you want to get out that bath and wash off all your face masks, and that's usually my favorite part; my face feels so fresh. Now your face is all refreshed get into your bed and put on a movie/TV in the background and get a body lotion (for me it would have to be The Body Shop Strawberry body Lotion or The Vaseline Spray & Go - Cocoa Radiance) and just rub it into your skin. This means all of your body is lovely moisturized, you can just sit down and watch some TV to finish of the night!

TOP TIP: You dont have to watch TV, you can listen to some music, and i would recommenced: http://grooveshark.com/#!/soliguetti/broadcast or http://grooveshark.com/#!/greatest-hits/broadcast/53128664a96c673f6d00000b both are really good, but there are always live broudcast on grooveshark.

QOTW: What's your favorite song? ( Or Artist if you can't decide) I'd love it if you answered my questions, i'd like to know what good artists are out there.

Talk to you soon...
