My Summer Make-Up Look

 

 

 

 

Since this lovely, glorious weather started my make up routine has severely gone down hill. I don't know about you but there's just something about heat that makes me not want to put make up on? Im putting it on while sweating which is just gross, for the first few days I was literally wearing mascara and that was it but I figured I needed some sort of base. I have been wearing 4 products on my face - yes, four! - so you can imagine how simple it is but it just works in this weather!

 

I start off by cleansing my skin and moisturising before I apply Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer* to under my eyes, on my chin, nose, cheeks & a couple of splodges on my forehead; may be a waste of concealer but its actually got amazing coverage. Every blogger out there knows its brill so im not going to chat about it for too long. I work it into my skin using my Real Techniques Buffing Brush because I actually find this the best brush to apply my base with. I think my brush only comes in the Core Collection set as I cant find a separate link for it?

After purchasing Collection's Colour Lash in Clear* (I can't find a link to it but it was purchased from Boots.) at the #hertsbedsmeetup at the beginning of this month I have been using it to tame my brows! It does a really impressive job at keeping them in tact all day long, mine are very unruly and stick up in all directions if I don't do anything to them; especially at the moment as I am trying to grow them out slightly.

Ive just realised 3/4 of these products are Collection haha. I've been applying Collection's Extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner to just below my bottom lashes/underneath my water line for some definition because I feel really naked without some liner! This is the best eyeliner I've ever used and its literally lasted me about 4 months & I use it everyday which I think is amazing for a felt tip liner. When im going out out I do use this to apply a cat flick but in this heat that's just too much.

Lastly but not least is the Rimmel London Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara which I apply two or three coats of to my top lashes. I do usually like a defined bottom lash but this mascara tends to smudge on my bottom lashes and its just hot for bottom lash mascara!

 

Have you done a Summer make-up look? What are your top picks?

Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather!

Photo Diary #7

Monday morning selfie with a plait in my hair // coral & gold combo on my nails // managed to nab a feast from the ice cream man! // finally went to see World War Z with my boyfriend & some friends // selfie // me & my boy // costas peach iced lemonade are delish in this weather // in love with this mint green colour // went to Kent to celebrate my friend Hannah's 21st!

Well I almost forgot to post this photo diary! Finished my post all about my weekend in Kent, shut my laptop down and began catching up on unread posts on Bloglovin' then thought 'OMG I need to do a Photo Diary!' haha. I feel like the last two weeks have gone uber fast and im still not photographing enough to do a Photo Diary every Sunday which I would definitely prefer. Obviously I've taken more than 9 pictures the past two weeks but they're not really worthy enough to make it. I think my summers resolution will be to photograph what I do more!

 

July has actually been quite busy for me where I've been working all week and then had something to do every weekend! I finally got to see World War Z and it was bloody brilliant let me tell you! I wasn't actually too knowledgeable on what it was about because I thought the trailer really didn't give much away but it was full of so much action and it was so scary! I went with my boyfriend and throughout the whole film I had my hand round his arm constantly squeezing it because I was scared haha. After seeing it and LOVING it I don't understand how anyone can slate it, I think its one of the best films I have seen in a long while. Last weekend I had a fundraising night to attend; it was to raise money for the Marie Curie Cancer Care and it was such a fun night, probably got a bit too merry. So last Sunday I was literally dying haha. Obviously, this weekend I went to Kent which you can read all about here so I wont go into detail about again.

 

Tomorrow is the hottest day of the coming week and im working all day, boo :(. But I do have Friday off as me & the boyfriend are going to Zoo Lates at London Zoo which I am SO excited about!

I hope you've all enjoyed your weekend and have a lovely week in the sunshine whatever your doing!

I'll be posting again in a couple of days.

My Weekend in Kent

Hello! So, this weekend I travelled down to lovely Kent to see one of my best buds Hannah, from college, it was her 21st birthday so she had a lovely garden BBQ party at her house which was set up so beautiful! She's also going travelling in September for a WHOLE YEAR with our other best bud Chloe, they're going to Australia, Thailand & New Zealand so it was kind of a goodbye for a year party as well. Yesterday was the first day in 2 weeks that it wasn't scorchio weather which was a shame but it didn't spoil everyone's party mood! Plenty of pimms was drunk & people had their dancing shoes on!
 

 

Hannah's parents hired a humongous marquee for the occasion which was amazing. At the back of the marquee which you cant see very well was all the alcohol in two massive fridges - which were also hired. Lots of little white tables & chairs were scattered round the garden which made the party feel like a really summery garden party. She also had a DJ (who was her postman haha) who played all the best songs!



 

 

This little gazebo here sheltered all the food; we managed to get a table right next to it so didn't have to travel far when we wanted second helpings! The BBQ burgers were delicious and the tuna pasta and potato salad was just so yummy. Heads up to the chefs!  

This amazing fire pit was lit up as night fell and it got rather chilly. Everyone sat round it, ate more BBQ food & sang camp fire songs!

Hannah's beautiful white cake with red roses!
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH!


The Pimms table definitely went down a treat! We went through 3 litres of pimms and Chloe was the master of making it!

I had such a good weekend; lots of dancing and plenty of drinking!! I hope you both have the most amazing time travelling ladies and I will miss you both so, so much. Thank you for a great weekend Hannah I hope you enjoyed yourself!
