BEAUTY: WHATS NEW THIS SUMMER FROM LANCOME


 I was invited along to the Lancome counter in Selfridges Birmingham last week for a blogger event however I was unable to make it. I was able to head over to the counter on Friday and was lucky enough to find out about the latest releases from Lancome so I thought i'd share a few bits with you!! 

The most exciting launch has to be the Lancome Grandiose Liner which is out tomorrow! With it's hinged handle which you can bend to a 35` angle which is designed to make applying your liner much easier. The handle is designed to create a swift steady line and makes it easier to get close to the lash line. The packaging is classic Lancome, very classy and expensive and the bendable handle is impressive. The liner is very long lasting and is a great formula making it easy to apply and you get a great consistency and colour in just one sweep. The liner also comes in a gorgeous Cobalt Blue which is gorgeous! 

As I mentioned above it's out tomorrow and will retail at £23 I think if you really struggle at applying liquid eyeliner then this is worth a go, I think the handle is such a brilliant idea!! 

My next favourite release from Lancome is the Energie De Vie range which is all about giving your skin that awake, refreshed appearance. The range is inspired by Korean Beauty Technology, it's such a gorgeous lightweight formula that dries into skin so quickly and leaves the skin soft and ready to apply make up. It's so good if your rushing in the morning, it dries in so fast but leaves your skin feeling energized, healthier and hydrated. The range consists of a moisturiser, mask and the Pearly Wake Up Lotion. 

Another exciting new product from Lancome has to be the Genifique Sheet Mask, each mask is enriched with Lancomes best selling serum technology. Genifique gives you glowing and younger looking skin. Just one use will leave your skin feeling fresher, smoother and radiant. The mask adheres gently to the contours like a second skin. Sheet masks are very popular right now in a UK so these are right up my street. 

 I got to have a little play with a Clarisonic on the Lancome counter aswell as they have collaborated and are being reccommended by Lancome Experts. The Clarisonic cleanses 6x better than hands alone. It cleans so well, and it's so gentle! I always had visions of it being really harsh on the skin. 

Don't miss out on the latest releases from Lancome, head on over to the Lancome counter at Selfridges Birmingham and check them out. The Grandiose Liner is out tomorrow which is very exciting. 

A little birdy tells me that the Lancome Summer Sale also starts tomorrow too so what better reason to go on over to the counter and check out some of their fab sale offers!

LIFESTYLE: FATHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE


Not sure what to get your dad this Father's Day? Then your in luck because i've put this Gift Guide together to give you a few ideas. The Gift Guide products range in price and there's something for everyone!


Smellies - You can't go wrong with aftershave for your dad, they always need it and use it so if you can't thing of anything else then pick up their favourite bottle of aftershave. Ask at the counter what fragrances have been popular, I love the smell of Jean Paul Gaultier and Paco Robanne 1 million.
For a more affordable option these Lynx sets always go down well, my dad is always buying Lynx and he uses the shower gels so he appreciates the gift sets.

Shaving - Bluebeards Revenge*  have a great selection of shaving products aswell as moisturisers and hair products. Why not head on over to their website and check out the range. They have some really nice gift sets too which have lots of different products in. I love the packaging and the products are of a really high quality and they smell really nice.

 Gadgets - My dad loves Gadgets, for every occasion, birthday etc he asks for a Drone, I bought him one for christmas so for Father's Day I decided to pick him up this Virtual Reality Headset which you hook up to your Iphone and you can watch 3D films and play games which seemed quite cool,  I picked these up on Iwoot.com

Another good gift idea is a portable speaker. They are so handy, I have one and we use it all the time, we bring it to the park or if were going to the beach. I bring it on holiday so we can listen to music whilst we get ready. My dad loves listening to his music and what easier way than through a bluetooth speaker from your phone, this is the Elevate Breve Bluetooth Speaker* and it's only £23.99 right now from The Inside Man  and it's so loud and a really sleek design.

If your dad is into quirky gifts or has just moved into his own place and you want to get him some cool homeware bits then check out Red Candy. I love this bicycle pizza cutter* I think it's really fun and my dad eats alot of pizza. The legless corkscrew* is also from Red Candy and is another fun addition to any bachelor pad. I also thought i'd include this crystal skull*, I think this would be fab for parties, you can put anything inside from sweets and crisps to a cocktail or you can just use it for decoration it would look fab on shelf with other cool bits and pieces.

Socks- Can you really go wrong with socks, my dad gets through them so quickly so I picked him up a nice selection to keep him going for a few months.

Food and Drink- Why not treat your dad to a meal out at his favourite restaurant, or take him for a drink.  I stocked up on some sweeties for my dad as he has a real sweet tooth.

These Fathers Day teas* from Victoria Mae designs are a cute idea aswell, they are teabags inside a handmade pouch designed by Victoria Mae. They are fun and cute little designs that would just be a nice little addition to any gift this fathers day. My dad loves a good cuppa and would really like these. Victoria Mae has a selection of different Tea gift sets for many different occasions, not just fathers day so check those out too.

Fathers Day is on the 19th June so just over a week now, I hope this gift guide has given you an idea of what to get your dad for Fathers Day. I'm looking forward to seeing my dad open his Virtual Reality headset the most.

OUTFIT POST: FESTIVAL FASHION AT BOOHOO.COM


Heyyy! So Festival season is fast aproaching so I thought i'd share my latest festival look. I'm not going to any festivals this year, I really wish we were! The line up for V festival is incredible, Justin Bieber, Sia and Rhianna and Jess Glyne, I wish we were going. I'm working alongside Boohoo and have picked out some gorgeous bits and styled them up into this outfit. 

I picked out this playsuit* from Boohoo which is a lovely plain jersey material, it's so comfy and easy to throw on . I will be bringing it to Turkey with me because it's so comfy and will be easy to put on for by the pool. I love this sleeveless kimono* thing which is so cute. I love the tassels and the paisley print. It's also from Boohoo, I thought i'd pop my tan plait belt on too with my plait sandals from Topshop which are my favourites because they are so comfy. 

The sunglasses* are really cute too I think they look very festival-y and look fab with my outfit. I also popped this choker* on too which I loveee! 

Check out the Festival Shop over on the Boohoo website

Are you off to any festivals this year? what are your favourite line ups this year?

FASHION: SUMMER HOLIDAY PRIMARK HAUL




Hello hello! you may have noticed i'm going on holiday in a few weeks so I took a cheeky trip to Primark to stock up on those holiday essentials. I thought i'd share a few bits and pieces with you guys. I'm only going away for 10 days so I didn't need to stock up on loads but I just wanted to get a few essentials. 

So of course I picked up some vest tops because primark ones are just so cheap and comfy. I got a thin strappy white one and striped one and then a thicker black strap vest too. 

I picked up this gorgeous khaki kaftan beach cover up thing which was only £5! I really like it and I know i'm gonna live in it on my holiday. 

I got a really cute cropped stripe vest aswell which I think was about £2.50, I don't normally wear crop tops but I think this looks really nice, I bought it a couple of sizes up too so its not too cropped ( needed to fit my boobs in) 

I also got these cute culottes which I really like, they are so comfy and cute and I think they will look really nice with a black vest top.

Aswell as clothes I needed a couple of bits so I got this towel which I absolutley love! I've picked it up a couple of times now but put it down but my beach towel is really looking worse for wear so I just got it anyway and i'm pretty sure it scanned through at £5 instead of £7 so it was fate!

I got these cute bracelets, they were only £2, I wanted some anklets but they didn't have any silver ones so I picked these up but they are too small for my ankles, might have a play with them and try and extend one of them. 

I thought i'd include these sunnies from last summer they are from primark too, I always stock up on primark sunglasses because they are so cheap i've got loads of pairs though so i've managed to not buy any recently. 

Finally my favourite thing is this bag, I spotted a few people mention it on instagram so I keep my eyes pealed in primark and was so happy when I spotted it.  I don't really need any more holiday bags but it's just so cute and its such an Amy bag.


So that's everything I picked up in Primark for my holiday, have you got a primark haul for your summer holiday? Where are you going on holiday this year?

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? 













* some of the items in this post are pr samples, my blog post is honest and my own opinions. I have not been paid for this post or to feature any of the products.
