Summer hair and makeup!

Thursday, 31 July 2014

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?

I am a great charity shop lover as I'm sure you will all know, so today I thought I'd give you a recent charity shop haul. Lets get down to business then.!

Reworked skirt / £2.99

Ring dish / £1.50

Dark tartan scarf / £1.99

White tartan scarf / 50p

I've been looking online recently for a pretty ring dish for my room, but the few that I found just weren't to my specific taste and some way overpriced for what they were. So I took to the charity shops as I usually do and there it was sitting there smiling at me. I really love the floral embellishment in the dish as it gives it a splash of colour and gets me in the mood for spring. It's the perfect size for all of my rings (so far) and is just handy in the morning when i'm in a rush and I can just run an grab one on my way out. Now I have one I see them everywhere in charity shops, if I'm not careful I'll end up with a whole collection of ring dishes in my bedroom.

I have to thank my lovely mother for this find. On her travels she always pops into charity shops and rummages until she finds something I wouldn't even pick out, but I'm extremely glad she picked this out. This skirt was originally a midi but again my mother being the kind loving woman she is, turned it up for me. I wear this skirt at least once a week because it's so easy to style with things and is just perfect for the winter months where the only things I seem to wear are monochrome. The pattern is just basic which again helps when trying to style it with something. I just love this skirt and I can see it being a staple piece for the years to come.

I am a huge lover of tartan and checks. I'm not a fan of bright red tartan, but I'm a lover of the dark's, as again they're so much easier to style with pieces. I've picked up so many checked scarfs in the past but these by far are my favourites. The top scarf is really long whereas the bottom scarf is one where it will just sit around your neck, so it's great depending on how cold it is that I have a choice of multiple scarfs. They're a great accessory to spice up a plain outfit.

Would you like to see more charity shop hauls?

Hello my lovelies!

Today I thought I'd take you out with me to a magical place in which dreams are made of, a vintage fair. As soon as I found out Lou Lou's Vintage Fair was coming to Norwich I had no choice but to go and delve into tons and tons of beautiful garments. It was a really lovely day out and for a vintage fair it was pretty dam cheap (not that i'm complaining), each stall was a different era to the next, it was almost like travelling back in time.

Stalls ranged from clothing, shoes, jewelry, fur pieces, home ware and millions of beautiful accessories. If a vintage fair comes near to where you live I highly suggest going, even if you don't buy anything It's a great cheap day out (this fair was only £2 entry). Here are just a few pictures I took at the fair.

All of the clothing items in these pictures (apart from the white cami) are from charity shops. A few outfits have been reworked so I'd love to hear what you think!
