body shop splurge♡



I definitely decided to treat myself to some Body Shop makeup goodies. I have been
 desperately wanting to get my hands on these 3 items but I was definitely concerned
about the price tag so took advantage of the 40% off deal on all Body Shop products
plus free postage! When it comes to buying "expensive" makeup I am quiet hesitant.
I don't like parting with my money when you could get some drugstore alternatives.
Although, Body Shop makeup is considered high street this was quite pricy for me so a
 real treat!

(Since using the pair of bases I have come up in lots of spots. Weather that's hormonal
blemishes or not - my skin has reacted with something so the reviewing process is on
hold for the next few days!)


Honey Bronzer♡
This is such a raved about product especially by the fabulous Essiebutton on YouTube
and the blogsphere! I find a lot of bronzers on me are quite dark and need a lot of
 powder and blending! I have never found the 'perfect' shade as my skin is really pale.
I had heard this bronzer is great for the paler folk. The honeycomb shape of the bronzer is
beautiful! I love the packaging too. I have used this every day since it came in the post and
it gives me a really natural matt bronzed look. I love how this looks!


All-in-one BB cream♡
I have been looking to buy myself a BB cream for the Spring/Summer as a lighter base.
 I again, had heard good things about this. It's a white cream which colour adapts to your
skin tone. I of course, got the shade '00' and for paler folk this is a good colour!
It's definitely a 'pale' shade. I really love this as it's a really light coverage and doesn't
 feel too heavy on the skin. It makes your skin look like your skin but better!


Instablur♡
Primers are my best friend in the Summer. This is a thicker version of the Baby Skin
but still has the silicone feel to it. It states to be a 5-action perfecter -  shine controlling
(12 hours), reduces appearance of pores, blemish hiding, complexion unifying and
makeup extending. Big promises from a small tube of product!
 I'm excited to use this more to see if I agree with all those statements!
 I will keep you posted.  



That's it for my little post! Hope you are all enjoying your holiday so far! Let me
know if you have tried any of these products.

skip into spring: outfits♡



Today I have the last part of our Spring Trilogy of my skip into spring series with my blogging best friends Rebekka and Charlotte

I love Spring fashion and I have a few different outfits that I have worn over the last week to share with you! 





Beach Day Out♡
I love wearing dresses all year round. I'm not normally a monochrome person but I was drawn to this dress because of it's shape and cut. I think dresses that pull in at the waist are really flattering although this dress is a little big around the bodice area! 

Gingham dress - H&M 
Pastel pink cardigan - New Look
Dolly shoes - Primark 
Parker coat - Dorothy Perkins (petite) 












Family Meal♡
I think pastel colours scream Spring and Summer. I love skirts like this because they are flattering but also really comfortable! 


Blouse - H&M
Floral skirt - New Look 
Denim jacket - New Look
White converse - Converse 







Casual Day♡
Oh how I love kimonos! I never normally wear trousers but I have fallen in love with this £8 pair from Primark! They fit me perfectly and are a lot more comfortable than jeans!

Kimono - New Look
White tee - H&M
Trousers - Primark 
Boots - Primark
Necklace - Primark 
Ring - Unknown 




It was lovely collabing with the girls for this series! Have a happy Spring!
