June Favourites




Hey Guys! I'm here today with a quick little post but one of my favourites literally! It's my June Favourites! I haven't had many favourites this month but there has been a few things I've adored! I've loved reading Cosmo magazine (and wearing my gorgeous free sunnies), watching macbarbie07 on YouTube - check out her videos she's amazing, listening to Ariana Grande ft Mac Miller - The Way, creating some beautiful eye combos with my MUA Palette (full review coming soon) and wearing my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (review here)! I have really enjoyed June but it went so quickly and to be honest the weather was disappointing! But hey ho whatever! What have you guys been loving this month?

Rimmel Rose Libertine




Bonjour! I'm here again with another varnish review and for that I'm sorry. I seem to buy so much nail varnish and I fall in love with all of it so I have to blog about it! The newest addition to my stash is a Rimmel 60 Second Nail Varnish in Rose Libertine. This colour is so beautiful I swear the moment I saw it I collapsed to the floor. It's the most gorgeous peachy coraly pinky colour that looks so stunning in the sunshine! The formula of these polishes is amazing it glides on so easily and the big fat brush really makes it easy to cover your whole nail in one swipe. This polish really needs two coats to achieve full opacity but the pictures above are one coat and it doesn't actually look that bad. The finish is super shiny and I swear this dries in 1 second flat! Maybe that's a bit dramatic but the drying time is so quick it's unbelievable. When used with a top coat these nail varnishes stay on well but alone they chip fairly easily.

So there you have it another nail varnish review! Will you be going out and buying Rose Libertine in time for summer?

How I Style Dungarees

I've always loved dungarees ever since I was little and now they've come back into fashion I'm super excited. When I first got them I didn't know how to wear them, what t-shirts looked best underneath etc. but after playing around a bit I came up with 3 looks. Just a quick point my dungarees are from New Look and were £15-£20 I can't quite remember.



First Look



For this look I wore my Pink Mickey Mouse Vest Top that I got from Disneyland, some pearl bead bracelets, and my Aeropostale flip flops! I actually bought two pairs of these as it was cheaper to buy two pairs than one pair? Crazy right? To complete this look I simply did a bit of light eyeshadow, and pink lip and put my hair in a ponytail with a pink ribbon! 


Second Look



For this look I paired my White Lace Crop Top from Topshop with a Brown Bag from Primark and Brown Sandals from New Look. I also added my Pork Pie Hat from Topshop. This look is so perfect for summer and I just love it so much!

Third Look



This look is slightly different. I do really like it but I don't know if I would be brave enough to wear it out and about. I put a plain white top on and then my dungarees. I then put my Dark Red Lace Skater Skirt from Boohoo.com on top. I think this look is really cute and the little bit of dungarees that peeps out looks adorable but I don't know if I would actually wear this about? I don't think I'm brave enough!

That's it! They are my 3 dungarees looks that I may/may not be wearing in the summer! What look do you like best? Will you be wearing dungarees in the summer?

P.S Sorry the body pictures aren't very good. I planned to go in the garden but the weather disagreed and a full on thunderstorm happened! I had to switch to plan B. I will try and do some OOTD posts in the garden soon though.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review




Hey everyone! Today I'm going to be reviewing a foundation. I only started wearing foundation recently  as it's not great for your skin and I don't really need it all the time. I wanted to see if foundation would make any difference and after reading so many rave reviews about Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation I decided to try it. I really like this foundation and although I can't compare this to any other foundation it's everything I would want a foundation to be. It's not cakey or orange and  it's easily blended with just your fingers. It has got a slight shimmer in and gives a dewy finish which makes you look more 'awake' as the name suggests so if you don't like shimmer and prefer a matte finish I'd give this on a miss. The packaging is good, it has a pump which makes it easy to apply, I find 1 to 1 1/2 pumps is good enough. The glass packaging makes it look more expensive than its £8.99 price tag. While this is a good thing if you travel lots you must be careful with it so the glass doesn't break. A few other things about this foundation that make it good are the fact it contains SPF 15 which means your face is unlikely to get burnt and also it has good wear. I find this lasts me all day. Also the smell is nice which is a bit strange but you don't want something rank smelling on your face! The only bad point about it is the shade range. I think the shade I got matches my skin pretty well but some people obviously wont have a match.

That's it for my review! Sorry its a bit long but I had to get all this stuff out there! Lots and lots and lots of love -

May Favourites

Hey Guys! It's June now which can only mean one thing - May Favourites! In my last favourites post I said I would be doing 3 beauty/fashion favourites, a book and a song/album but I've decided to just be random and rebellious and do whatever I feel like! This month I've absolutely loved banana milk from Tesco's. Please don't ask me why but I've been drinking it everyday like some kind of milk freak because it's so darn good. Rant over. I've also loved painting my nails with Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish in Rose Libertine, listening to fun. - some nights and wearing dungarees like I did when I was 5. I don't know if I'm allowed to include this as I got it on the 30th of May but it's my iPhone 5. I'm already in love with it though so I'm sure I will be for months to come. 



Thank you for reading my monthly favourites, I hope I've inspired you to try some of these things :-) What have you been loving this month?
