SUMMER: WHAT MAKE UP I'M TAKING ON MY HOLIDAY



EEEK LESS THAN A WEEK TO GO!! 

I'm off to Turkey in just under a week and I have to say i'm so excited to get away from the UK and the rubbish weather! I thought i'd share my holiday make up bag and what i'm taking to turkey with me. 

Since I took these photos I have picked up a few extra bits but this is the main bulk of products that will be coming with me. First up my base products, i'll be bringing my favourite concealer which is Collection, lasting perfection in the shade fair. Nars Sheer Glow* for the evening. I picked up a Rimmel BB cream yesterday for the daytime. For my contour i'm bringing my Becca highlighter in Champagne Pop and the Collection contour kit which is such a handy little product. The Bronzer is a gorgeous shade and the highlight side is a really lovely shade which I use under my eye to set my concealer to brighten the eye area. I've also popped my trusty faithful Clarins Bronzer *as this is one of my favourite bronzers for whilst i'm on holiday and you can use a really big brush and give yourself a little bit of colour all over your body. 

Lip Products! I haven't gone crazy with lip products, i'll be bringing my Clarins comfort lip oil *for in the day and then i've picked out a couple of liquid lipsticks, this Maybelline Vivid Matte Lip which is a lovely pinky nude and one of the Revlon Matte HD lip colours in a nude/ pink shade too. I'm also bringing this Sexy Mother Pucker Matte Lipstick* in this gorgeous red shade as i'm loving matte lips right now! I will also be bringing Mac Velvet Teddy and I might pick up a lipstick in Duty Free, what shall I go for? 

A few other bits that i'm taking along include my trusty faithfull eye liner, Rimmel Exaggerate liner in black and my NYX brow pencil. I will also be bringing Glow by Topshop which is a really good multi-use product which I use as a highlight on my brow bone and cupids bow but it's a handy eye-shadow too. Another trusty faithfull is the Urban Decay Potion Primer in Sin, this is a gorgeous eye primer and you can wear it alone or apply your eyeshadow over the top for a gorgeous colour and really good staying power. I'm going to be using my Stila palette whilst i'm away as it has a really good mixtures of mattes and shimmers and has a really good selection of shades. 

A few new things i'm going to try whilst i'm in Turkey include the Maybelline Colossal mascara and the new Soap and Glory Archery Volu-Boost* to give my brows more definition. I'm also going to try the new Soap and Glory WonderBronze* which is a bronzer in a stick, i've had a little play and I love it so far! 

I tend to wear a little bit of bb cream in the day and fill my brows in and then do my make up on the evening, what are your must have staples for your holiday make up bag?

MY MAY FAVOURITES


I haven't done a favourites post for soo long, so I thought it was time to share some of my fave bits from this month.  Some of these items will have been shared recently on my blog. 

First up has to be some beauty bits, I've been loving the Rosie for Autograph range, you can see my first impressions here. This is the bronzer which is such a lovely natural shade. It's really easy to apply and gives a nice healthy glow. I've been reaching for this most days! I love the packaging and the quality is fab. 
I'm also loving this palette from Stila which i've had for a little while now. It's always been one of my favourites but i've found myself reaching for it more this month. This is the Eyes are the Window shadow palette in Soul. It's a range of gorgeous coppers and golds with some shimmers and matte shades. My favourite shade right now is affection which is a lovely dark red/ brown shimmery shade. 
Next is the Soap And Glory Heel Genius which I always tend to whip out this time of year when I start wearing sandals. My heels are so dry and hard, I should invest in a ped egg really but I love applying this each night and popping my socks on and let it do it's magic. It's soothes and hydrates the heels making them look and feel better. 
I have reviewed the Elvive Extraordinary Clay range on my blog recently check that out here, this has worked really well for me and i've repurchased it this month. 
I've been using the Kiehls Centella skin calming cleanser for just over a month now and I have to say it's so lovely, it's so calming and gentle on my skin but it leaves my skin feeling so clean and soft. I've been using a quite a few Kiehls products this month, but this is my favourite overall. 

I was recently sent a few tangle teezers and I forgot how much I love them. I've been using the compact one so much. I've kept it in my work bag and it's just such a great size. I mentioned it in my festival essentials post earlier in the week .
I've been loving my new Quay Australia sunglasses that I picked up in TkMaxx they are a gorgeous size and shape and I love that they are tortoise print which is my favourite. I've been wearing these so much this month. 
Finally a bit of a weird one, Strawberries! I have never really been a strawberry lover but since joing Slimming World i've been eating them alot. This month British Strawberries have returned to the supermarkets but I don't really like them. I seem to prefer the spanish ones so i've been struggling to find these but I managed to find a massive box of them this week in Morrisons Yay! 

So that's all for my favourites this month, what have been your favourites this month?

REVIEW: SOAP AND GLORY MAKE YOURSELF YOUTHFUL


I've been using this Soap and Glory Serum on and off for a few months now. I am a big fan of Soap and Glory. First of all i'm a massive fan of their packaging, its so fun and cute and one of the big reasons why I buy their products. I also think they have some really good quality products that really work.

This product is a youth serum that claims to reduce lines and energise the skin.

I love the feel of this product on my skin, its cool and a light formula that sinks into the skin easily. You instantly feel the product work into the skin making it feel cool and energized!

I like to use this as a primer before I apply my make up as I feel it does fill in the lines and create an even base to work onto.

You only need a little bit of product as a little goes a long way. It's a really light formula and it isn't sticky or oily.

I'm a really bit fan of Make Yourself Youthful, I do think £16 is a fair price compared to other serums that are out there.

REVIEW : SOAP AND GLORY THE FAB PORE*


 SOAP AND GLORY THE FAB PORE 2 IN 1 PORE PURIFYING MASK AND PEEL*- £10 here 



I've been using this 2 in 1 mask and peel by Soap and Glory for a while now. Its a really thick paste with little beads in that scrub the skin. It's got a very fresh smell to it, it's kind of like a toothpaste smell which I like.

You can use the product either ask a mask so I would apply it to the skin and leave it for 10 - 15 minutes and then wash off. The beads scrub into the skin and clean out the pore's.

You can also use it as a peel so leave on for 10 - 15 minutes and peel off - this is like a face pack and should lift away any dirt from the skin leaving it clean and leaving pores less noticeable.

I've noticed less blackheads on my face and my pores appear reduced. I really like that the product is like a paste rather than a wash or a thinner product. I love the fresh smell of the product and feel clean after i've used this.

I like the simple packaging from Soap And Glory and I think that £10 for 50ml of product is pretty decent. I have been trying a couple more products from the Soap and Glory Skincare range so keep an eye out for those on my blog soon.


You can buy Soap And Glory from their website here or from boots.

REVIEW: SOAP AND GLORY SUGAR CRUSH BODY WASH

Soap and Glory Body wash - £6.50* - Soap and glory

I absolutely love Soap and Glory products especially the sugar crush range. Its the most amazing citrus scent and smells divine! I've been using this body wash for months and I finally used it all up and realised that I haven't blogged about it. It's one of my essentials.

It's £6.50 but the bottle is masssssive and you get loads of product. with the pump you only need to use a couple of pumps for the whole body. I like to use my sponge to apply this to my skin.
It leaves your skin feeling clean and soft and smelling of fruit! I really love the scent.

I will be repurchasing this as it's my faveee and I love soap and glory !

Review | Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream - £10.50* 

I've been using this Soap and Glory Body Buttercream for about a week and I absolutely love it and couldn't wait to show it to you guys! I have the Sugar Crush Body Scrub which I got in a gift set before christmas and I loved that and this body butter has the same AMAZING !!! LIME SCENT
Seriously it's gorgeous! It's so citrusy and smells really yummy ! 
The cream its self is a nice light cream that rubs into the skin really easily and quickly and leaves the skin feeling cool and moisturised and it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky.

For £10.50 you get this massive 300ml tub which is really handy to store. I love the soap and glory packaging because its so pretty and pink! I have this tub next to my bed incase I need to pop any cream on and so it's there for when I get out the bath or shower. 

Also in this range is the Body Wash which you can see here. I haven't tried this yet but I will review once i've tried it out! Have you tried any new Soap and Glory products  ?

REVIEW; Soap And Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub

RRP £8 From Soapandglory.com


I've been using this for over a month now, I bought this when Boots did the Star Gift of the week. Its a body scrub which you can use in the shower, I like to use it in the bath too! Its a large 300ml tub and I find a tub design alot easier to use rather than a tube because you just put your hand in a grab the amount you want to use. The smell is gorgeous, the lime is the most distinct smell which is just lovely and fresh! When you rub it into the skin you can feel it working straight away, it scrubs away the dead skin and dirt and oil. I then wash the excess away and it leaves your body feeling soft and so clean. 
The smell doesn't wash away and you can smell it even when your out of the shower. 
I haven't used soap and glory before but I love this product and theres some more products in my gift set that I use all the time aswell but i'll be reviewing them soon :) 

The tub is a great size and I think even though I use a good handful every time I shower I think it will last ages and the Soap and Glory range is worth the money. Boots always have deals on the soap and glory so why don't you try out some of their other products too.

Soap and Glory Best Of All Set














(You also get a 4 in 1 cleanser but this was in my bathroom and I forgot about it ) 

This set retails at £60 but as you all know its this weeks star gift at Boots for £27, The set is worth over £70 because you get vouchers and stuff in it. I think this is such a good price and I know my local boots has LOADS left so get down to your Boots before the deals over. You get some lovely products in this set including the shower gel and the the 4 in 1 cleanser. The mascara alone is worth £10 so £27 for this whole set is an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN! I've used this mascara before and its lovely and I would recommend it to anyone who wants thick and full lashes. The body scrub smells gorgeous- I haven't used it and will be reviewing all the products once i've used them all properly. The lipgloss is so weird it makes your lips really tingly and its so strange lol I had to wipe it off . I've never really used any of the soap and glory skin products before so I'm really looking forward to trying all these products out and I think its just such a great value for money. 

Buy this now at your local boots store as its sold out online.
