July Favourites + Catch-Up!

Hey everyone, I hope you are all having lovely holidays:)
Now, if you are a reader of my blog, you will have noticed my last blog post was over 3 months ago! I don't know what happened in that time, I guess I just lost my motivation. But now I'm back with a monthly favourites post!

Sleek Face Form Contouring and Blush Palette - £9.99 


This is one of those products which caught my eye as I was drifting through Superdrug. I am so glad I picked it up and bought it, because it is such good value for money and all three of the powders have incredible pigmentation! My palette is in Light and it has a contour, highlight and blush. I find that if I wear all three at once, it can look a bit overdone, however the contour and blush compliment each other beautifully.

You can buy this in boots or Superdrug.

Topshop Nail Varnish in Milkshake - £5 
For a while I was hunting for the perfect pastel pink under £10, and I have definatley found it! Despite the fact that most beauty bloggers would save this colour for the Spring months only, I have being loving this on my nails this summer. The consistency is a little gloopy, however if you apply two thin coats the colour is opaque and even :)

(panic, this is one of my favourite nail varnishes and it isn't on the topshop website anymore. I really hope they haven't discontinued it omg)

Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturiser in Aloe Vera - £4.99 
I only picked this up last week, but I love it already. It is so much easier to use than a normal moisturiser because the spray function can get to that sunburnt back (yes it was very painful). My spray is in Aloe Vera, however they also have Cocoa Butter and Vanilla.
You can buy this from Boots or Superdrug.

Topshop Joni Jeans - £36 

It took me a little while to finally decide I wanted to spend £36 on a pair of jeans, but it is so worth it. I find these jeans so flattering and because of the super high waist and skinny fit, you can dress these up, as well as dress them down. The denim is a really comfortable material, its fairly stretchy but it still quite thick and keeps its shape well.

(Sorry for the stock photo, my jeans are incredibly creased)




Scrabble Ring- £1
This was a very random buy last week. i was helping my mum at our local car boot sale and I went to look round some of the stalls. Someone had a collection of Scrabble rings, and luckily had a L! It was only £1 and I have been loving wearing this with brightly coloured nail varnish.
You can get similar off Ebay.

Thank you for reading, and sorry it has taken me so long to post again! I definatley want to get back into blogging this summer, so expect an OOTD soon :)

Nails of the day: Topshop Celestial

Topshop - Celestial

I have been reaching for this colour a lot recently because it is so versitile and only requires 2 coats which dries quickly. In some lights in can look a pastel blue and even lilac, and then in others it can look electric blue! I find it is the perfect transition into the spring months and this polish is on the lower end of the price scale at only £5 from Topshop, and I really recommend these polishes for their lovely quality. I hope to buy some more soon:)

Do you have any Topshop nail varnishes?

Barry M Spring Nail Varnishes

The season of pastel nails.
*this is not a sponsored post*
Here are my top 5 nail varnishes that everyone should have for spring! I love the Barry M nail paint collection, and I know they are quite popular with fellow bloggers because of their unique shades, quality and the price. They range from £2.99- £4.99 ( depending on the effect) at Boots and Superdrug.

1. Peach Melba - this colour is quite unique (probably one of my all time favourites) and looks great all through spring and summer. It is very similar to a baby pink shade, however has an orangey- coraly tone to it! I need to repurchase this nail paint this spring because I have only a little bit left, but I was wondering if anyone else knows of a nail varnish very similar colour to this one, I would love to try some others out!

2. Blue Moon - everyone has to have a baby blue in their collection for spring! It has a slight blue shimmer in it, but to be honest I have never noticed it on my nails. This nail paint, and the one above, bth a quite well known with the youtube and blogger beauty comminuty, because they are great for only £2.99! The first coat can be quite sheer, but you can build it up easily with a second coat to make it opaque. I think baby shades look cute on all nail lengths as well as skin tones, so make sure you try it out!

3. Gold Foil Effects - a gold metallic shade looks really nice on toes or as an accent nail colour. It goes really nicely with lots of other colours! It gives a nice opaque coloue with two coats, and with only slight streaks. p.s if you get nail varnish remover on your fingers and touch this lid, the writing and gold colour will come off *whoops*

4. Pink Irridesent - this paint is just amazing. Its base colour actually comes out clear, and it makes an excellent top coat for a bright (or dark) colour! It has flexes of blue, pink, orange purple, green e.t.c and the glitter particles aren't too big to cover the colour underneath (an opaque nail colour with this nail varnish alone is almost impossible). 

5. Silver Glitter - now I am not sure if Boots and Superdrug still stock this, because I got it a little while ago and it was limited edition, but this speaks out for all silver glitter nail varnish. They look great with all colours, or as an accent nail! p.s don't you just love the lid on this, soo sparkly! Also, another way to wear this is to paint your nails with a silver foil paint and two coats of this over the top and it is completley sparkly! wooo



So, thats my post!
Do you have any of the nail paints I featured, or do you have any spring recommendations? I would LOVE to hear all of them xo

See you soon,
