Summer hair and makeup!

Hello Lovelies!

There is nothing I love more than a dewy finish with my makeup. I just feel that it makes my skin look healthy and more radiant. I wear this look all year round but in the summer months I go a bit overboard and smother myself in highlighter. In summer I strip back to basics and try to keep my makeup as natural or as natural looking as possible. It is also the season for messy hair and embracing your inner Vanessa Hudgens. 

Products

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation // Collection Illuminating Touch Concealer // Sleek Contour Kit // L'oreal Paris Eyeshadow in matte 106 (used to fill in eyebrows) // Urban Decay Naked Palette // KIKO Ultra Glossy Stylo Shade 802 Nude // Radiant Touch Creamy Stick Highlighter // Pearly Eye Base Primer // Revlon Growluscious Plumping Mascara

I love this look as it is quick and effortless for days out and for festivals. The key to this hair style is the messier the better. I always tend to tease the plaits and rough them up a bit just to give them a bit of texture. The best thing is wear them for one day, sleep in them over night and then the next day you will have textured waves, so two hair styles in one. 

Why not add a hair accessory to festival it up? Flower crowns are the traditional festival go to accessory. If you have tons of spare time over the summer like I have then why not try and make one of your own, stand out from the crowd, be unique. I made this one a few weekends ago from a tutorial on Pinterest and was surprised how quick and easy they were to make! 

What's your favourite summer look?

Hello you beautiful people! It's been far too long since I've made a post for you all! I got carried away with the stress of A levels, but i'm back and I thought I'd give you all something a little different today, I'm not usually an OOTD kind of girl but I volunteered myself forward to be a model for my friend Britts (BrittsBazaar) Media project and University portfolio. I take no credit for the outfit as it was all styled beautifully by Britt, but I'd thought I'd share with you all what I'm wearing!

Zuneta Sample Reviews

I was recently looking through Zoellas blog and I came across a post about PRs and she mentioned and left a link for this cosmetic website called Zuneta who she really praised for the quality of their make up. As most of Zoellas previous recommendations have been reliable, I checked out their website, and the make up seemed really high quality. The make up was quite expensive so I ordered 3 samples to test which ones I wanted and what shade best suited me. 

I ordered two foundations-  LE METIER DE BEAUTE - CLASSIC FLAWLESS FOUNDATION-SHADE 06

BECCA - LUMINOUS SKIN COLOUR- TOAST

And a highlighter- ROUGE BUNNY ROUGE - HIGHLIGHTING LIQUID - SEAS OF ILLUMINATION-  SEA OF SHOWERS

If you want to order some samples, I would do it quickly as they sell out fast!

These aren't the only samples but you can only order 3 at a time.

LE METIER DE BEAUTE - CLASSIC FLAWLESS FOUNDATION-SHADE 06

This was my favourite of the two foundations I sampled. The foundation itself is probably a medium to build able coverage. The consistency is quite thin, and watery, but didn't feel wet on my skin when applied. I found that you didn't need to apply a lot to achieve an all over coverage. Although the coverage was good, it didn't last for as long as I expected, so by the end of the day you look as if you never put any on in the first place.

BECCA - LUMINOUS SKIN COLOUR- TOAST

I hate to be negative about a product, but this foundation really didn't work well on my skin. I found it made my skin really oily and shiny and even with the application of powder on top. It also gave my skin a slight yellowy glow which I really didn't like, I felt like it made me look unwell and washed out and didn't give me the healthy glow I wanted. Compared to the classic flawless foundation, I was really disappointed with it's results.

 ROUGE BUNNY ROUGE - HIGHLIGHTING LIQUID - SEAS OF ILLUMINATION-  SEA OF SHOWERS

This was by far my favourite product of them all, and I can't wait until I have enough money to buy this off the website because I absolutely love it! It's smooth , thin and you don't need a lot of it to apply so it's a long lasting product. It just gives you a glowing complexion, that lasts all day. It's great if you're feeling washed out and you want to put some colour back into your face. It is also extremely easy to use and very versatile. You can mix this with your foundation or apply it on top or underneath. The pigment is very 

rich with a high metallic finish. It glides on the skin like a dream, smells good and does 

it's job perfectly: catching light! 

I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who's looking for a good worth while highlighter. This to me is the best one around by far.

Until next time..
