THE FURRY EDIT | CUTE THINGS IVE BOUGHT

I am such a sucker for fluffy things! Fluffy and furry, but never real fur ugh! I fell in love when I saw these sliders, they're pink and they're covered in fur what more could I ask for really! I've always been a fan of the sliders trend as they look so comfy and stylish, there's so many styles of them out there now that its so hard to choose just one pair! I had to get these though they were too cute to pass up, and I know that they wont be everyone's cup of tea but I just love them and cant wait to start wearing them and pairing them up with outfits! Black skinny jeans and an over sized jumper is gonna be my go to outfit to wear these with, such a casual outfit but made super cute by these bright pair! I picked these up from Primark which seems to be the place I pick up most of my goodies, they were £6 which is amazing and the quality of them is surprisingly good! Naturally I was worried that the fur might come off or that they wouldn't be comfy but they really are great and they look so great within the rest of my shoe collection. 

This bag! Again a Primark purchase (don't hate me haha!) but I honestly never would have thought it was from Primark. When I first saw it I instantly thought that it looked like a bag you would find in Zara so I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was only £9 which is amazing for a bag this cute! Its quite a structured bag with fur covering the front, the back of the bag is just faux leather and it has a gold chain strap that just makes the bag look put together. I always worry with buying bags because I have to think out all of the scenarios that I would use this bag in and try to think of what I would have in it and whether it would all fit in! With this one you can deffo fit your phone, purse, keys, lipstick/lipbalm and any other small essentials but nothing too major. I have this cute little coin purse that fits in perfectly, that I bought from Superdrug (its great for nights out, fits in a clutch bag perfectly!) its adorable! 

Let me know what you think of furry accessories!

CURRENT BEAUTY FAVES | JULY EDITION

I think I've found my best friend in a hair product! I am utterly obsessed with this Schwarzkopf leave-in conditioner, I wanted to try it out as I have quite dry ends because my hair is bleached and the ends tend to need a lot more loving than the rest of my hair does! I actually didn't think it would be as amazing as it is as my roots can get really greasy very quickly if I use too much product. It says to use on towel-dried or dry hair after washing, so as soon as I wash my hair I roughly dry it with a towel and then spritz my hair with this and either let it dry naturally or blow dry it and it leaves my hair feeling amazingly smooth and conditioned! I was blown away at how healthier my hair felt from just using this, it states that it leaves hair with silky suppleness and intense shine and my hair feels like silk every time I use it! You can use it frequently as well which is great if your hair starts to feel a little dry throughout the day. Just spray it onto the ends of your hair and brush it through and it works wonders! Definitely a new favourite of my mine that I'll be repurchasing for sure! The packaging is really cute as well, the bottle is holographic pink/white and you have to shake the bottle to mix the product up before you use it. 

I have problem skin so after I use my Body Shop tea tree facial wash I use these Superdrug glycolic acid cleansing pads, they aim to improve the skins tone and texture and awaken skin's natural glow. I use two pads for morning and night and use it within my normal beauty regime. They are so refreshing on my face especially in the evenings after I've taken all my makeup off. They just feel like they take that last bit of makeup off that your face wipes miss and freshen up your skin. I've definitely notice my skin looks a lot brighter so I'm looking forward to using these more often! 

Let me know what you think!

THE BODY SHOP | TEA TREE REVIEWS

These have quickly become two of my fave skincare/bodycare products of the moment! I have always loved The Body Shop products but my collection is near to none, I wanted to give these ago because I've always struggled with my skin, one minute it's fine and the next it breaks out like crazy! I've never had acne, I just have very spot prone skin that is very hormonal:( I've tried so many different products for my skin which I know now probably wasn't the best thing for it, and none of them have ever worked so I was skeptical to try these. I read quite a few reviews beforehand and was pleasantly surprised to see so many good ones which definitely made me feel more confident about purchasing them. Tea tree has always been the go to for skin problems so again I thought is this really worth it? Is it going to be just another 'spot clearing face wash' that magics the spots away? But I took the plunge and bought the face wash and body wash as I've heard a lot of reviews on the body wash stating that its super refreshing for the skin and leaves you feeling super freshhh, which is always good! 


Skin Clearing Body Wash

They both smell amazing, I really love the smell of tea tree is that just me? It just smells so refreshing and clean?? I used the bodywash in the shower and my whole bathroom just filled with the smell, its such a silky texture that you literally only need a small amount as a little goes a long way! I got out feeling superrrr clean which I don't feel like you get from some other bodywashes, it would definitely be great for gym goers as you feel super fresh and hydrated, great for washing all of that sweat off! 

Skin Clearing Facial Wash

This stuff was amazing! Its my new fave facial wash and I don't think I'll be changing any time soon! Again like the bodywash it left my face feeling super fresh, clean and overall just clearer. My spots haven't completely disappeared which I never expected but I can definitely notice a difference and I've been using it for just over 2 weeks so I'm super excited to see if my skin improves over the coming weeks, which I will update you lovelies on! So far I love this and I'm super glad I picked it up! 

Let me know if you'd try any of these out!

MERMAID TEARS | LOOK 7

I love this look and I'm definitely gonna be rocking this at the festivals I'm going to! I think its one of the prettiest looks I've done, the tears are deffo my fave! I wanted to go for something a bit different with this look and try something out that I've never done before! So I used a fine glitter for the whole look and a holographicy eye shadow that is amazing especially when its used wet! Keeping with my basic makeup routine, same eyebrows, same base I just used more bronzer because I'm totally loving my Hoola Benefit bronzer at the moment! I went with a blue, bronzey, gold eye look, using a gold pigment for the inner corners of my eyes and then a yellow glitter on top, I went for a pretty sky blue for the outer corners of my eyes followed by a darker deep blue and I really love how it turned out! I feel like it really brings out the blue in my eyes and I've stuck with my trusty falsies Eyelure 141's, my fave lashes! Had to do my festi space buns, I feel like this look would be perfect with blue glitter roots, I'm definitely going to be doing a post on that soon! Let me know what sort of posts you'd like to see or like to see more of! I love doing these festi looks and I've got so many looks lined up so keep an eye put for them! I can't wait to get to my first festival so I can actually wear these looks out!!

MY FAVOURITE AFFORDABLE PALETTE

I'm such a sucker for affordable makeup, especially when it turns out to be sooo good! I've had this palette for over a year now and its my best friend, it has some amazingly pigmented colours and it was under £5! I love my bright eyeshadows but sometimes its nice to go for a more neutral eye look, these colours are perfect as transition shades and you create some great looks with them, I love the orangey, warmer colours as they look so pretty on, especially with a bright blue pigment on the bottom lash line its one of my fave looks to do and looks great with blue eyes really making them pop! It does have a lot of fallout which is definitely a downside to it but for £5 you're not gonna get perfect, but it's so great for someone that's just trying out makeup for the first time and doesn't want to go for anything too out there. One thing I was worried about is whether the colour would actually stay for the whole day, so I tested it out with and without an eye primer and it didn't budge all day, the colour stays super pigmented for the whole day which is super amazing when it comes to eyeshadows. I definitely want to purchase some more 'cheapy' eyeshadows, even to just try them out! Let me know what you think!

SILVER QUEEN | LOOK 6

 Look 6 is a silver, jewel filled heaven, I wanted to go for a more of a basic look for festival goers that don't want to use lots of glitter, these gems are amazing if you want a quick, simple look that looks glitzy and cute! I picked them up from New Look and they have 3/4 designs to choose from, these are very ice queeny and they're so easy to use, they're already sticky but I used glitter glue just to make sure that they were secure, which is obviously super important for festivals! I used a fine silver glitter on my eyes, using glitter glue I coated my whole lid and patted on the glitter with a flat brush, making sure to cover my whole eye up to the crease this brought the whole look together and really made my eyes shine, this glitter is really great too as it washes off so easily! I really wanna try more looks out using face gems as they're so practical for festivals and events and they look so great, the good thing about these is that they're all individual gems so you can place them wherever you want. My fave part of this look is obviously the chunky glitter tears, I used my Festival Faces glitter mix in Silver Galaxy, a mixture of silver hexagons and fine glitter, it looks great if you want to do glitter tears that stand out! I added my Rimmel London Jess Woodley lipstick in '128' Starry Eyed, which just adds that little bit of colour that finishes the look!

PRIMARK BRALETTES | WHATS THE VERDICT?

 I feel like Primark has a bad rep for their underwear selections as most of us will know they're deffo cheap but deffo not durable! They're great for basic underwear but they aren't going to last in the long run, so I was intrigued to purchase these bralettes! First of all they're super pretty and look so delicate on, they're really flattering and make you feel so sexy, which is so important because lingerie should never make you feel ugly! They range from £5 to £10 and come in so many colours, designs and styles. I've had the white bralette for over 2 months now and its still going strong, it is showing a few signs of wear and tear which I think is to be expected especially after getting washed so many times its always going to slightly fray (in the pic it looks like its slightly discoloured but its not it's just the lighting, promiseee). They all have adjustable straps which is honestly a life saver as I hate it when bras don't have them and you can never get the right fit! One thing I would say is be wary of the sizing, I've got a bigger bust so was worried about what size to get, the white and pink bralette are size 'M' and the green one is 'L' weirdly I feel like the 'M' bralettes fit me a lot better and are comfier than the 'L' one that is slightly smaller and doesn't fit as comfortably, also the green one has glittery thread in it which is so pretty but can irritate after a while especially as its a racer back, I find myself finding it slightly uncomfortable after a while. The great thing is that they all come with matching bottoms which are equally as cute so for £5/10 you're getting a whole underwear set that's pretty and will deffo last you.
