March Favourites

Over the past month I've been home and away from uni a lot. At the beginning of the month, I had reading week and went to Careys Manor in the New Forest. Then went back to university for a week before coming home for the Easter holidays for the rest of the month. March has been a great month all-in-all and today I'm going to share with you all my favourite things of the month!

Spring Makeup Updates

I typically do about one makeup look / tutorial a month but this one I feel really reflects my everyday makeup. It's very simple and easy to recreate and is so wearable. I've incorporated some updates to my makeup bag / routine for the new season as Spring is now officially upon us.

When it comes to Spring and Summer I love dewy lightweight bases, cream/liquid blushers and gorgeous golden bronzers. 

Self Tanning : Favourite products, my routine and tips

As soon as the sun starts to poke its way out of the grey overcast clouds I begin to get myself prepped and ready for Spring and Summer and for me self tanning is an important part of that.  I start by prepping my skin by shaving/epilating, exfoliating and moisturising. Now, I know the weather isn't great yet, but that's why I start with a gradual tan moisturiser to build up some colour and add a little glow to my pasty legs etc. When summer finally rolls around things start to get a bit more serious and I whip out a few other products.

Favourite highlighters

Highlighters are possibly the most favourite part of my makeup collection and in my opinion make such a big difference when it comes to making you look radiant and ''lit-from-within''. Whilst prepping for this blog post I realised that 4/5 of these highlighters are high end! I need to find some more affordable options. But here are my top 5 favourite highlighters. 

Haircare Kit : High-street

Haircare is something that I don't talk about too much on this blog however come to think of it there are some real staples and holy grail products that I ALWAYS use and repurchase time and time again. So here is my affordable, all high-street, hair care kit/routine.

Top 5 High-Street Spring Nail Varnishes

I used to be so bad about regularly painting my nails but lately I've been loving getting some use out of my collection and trying different colours. I'm so excited for spring and summer and for pastel and bright nails. Spring is the best time, in my opinion to wear bright pastel colours on your nails and here are my top 5 high-street picks! This includes my favourite 3 nail varnish brands so regardless of the colour these formulas are, in my opinion, the best on the high-street/drugstore.

ASOS Spring/Summer Wish List

Today I thought I'd post an extra blog post ( I usually post on Wednesdays and Sundays only). This is a 'wish list' type blog post from my favourite online clothing retailer, ASOS. As an ASOS Premier customer I am always ordering from them as I get free next day delivery and free returns. This means I can buy things try them on and send them back for nothing if they're not right or I don't like them as much as on the website. I'd highly recommend becoming a premier customer if you shop with them a lot, it's so worth it!

However I thought it might be interesting to show you some of the items on the site that have been saved in my account for a while. This is my ASOS Spring/Summer wish list! If you're interested in any of the items just click the links to be directed to the website!

Spa Break - Careys Manor Hotel and SenSpa

After a few days break in the New Forest during my university half term I couldn't hold back from sharing with you all just how beautiful Careys Manor Hotel and SenSpa really is. The reason I can't wait to tell you all is because, you know when you experience something amazing and you can't wait to tell your best friend, well thats me now, I've told my best friends and my parents all about it and then I realised that if I enjoyed it this much I should be sharing it all with you all on here! Rambley and cheesy intro aside here are some photos I took whilst on my mid week break!

Light Bases for Spring/Summer

As we should be (fingers crossed) be moving into slightly warmer weather soon I always like to swap to some slightly lighter bases. There are a few options ranging from, tinted moisturisers, BB creams, CC Creams or mineral foundations. Today I'm going to show you my top 3 light bases for warmer weather or when you simply don't want to feel like you're wearing foundation.

Empties: Feb 2016

I can't quite believe how many beauty products I've finished as my last empties blog post was in November, I'm very happy however to be slowly but surely making my way through my stash of products! Anyway here are reviews of all of the products I've completely finished in the last couple of months!
