Summer Lovin'

Hey guys seeming the sun is shining in ireland (thank god), I taught it would be the perfect time to do a summer favorites tag!
These are the items i reach for the most and use nearly everyday :)

First of is my favorite scent of summer and its be delicious green by DKNY. I got this perfume and body lotion set for christmas and i have used the whole lot up since december this summer! the 

scent is so fresh and fruity. Yes it does smell like apples but it is not over whelming at all!






My next fav is Benifits "posie tint". This one is great for the beach, it stays on even in warm, watery situations! I often used this with some tinted moisturieser and i was good to go! The colour is a poppy pink and the formula looks just like a nail varnish! It lasts forever as you only need two or three small dots!


2true do a brilliant dupe for this called "blush tint cheeks n lips" and its only one sixth of the price!!!

You can get it in every superdrug and boots!


Midnight blue nail varnish from Julian mc donald is not a usual "summer" colour, but this is lovely on days that are not so bright in ireland! The depth of the blue is stunning and compared to my lovely pale skin it looks great! Dries extremly fast and the colour stays well no need for double coats!





The next one is this little bottle of hand sanitiser from bath and body works! I got some of these from america and they are the best thing ive ever used. They do not smell like that hidious hand sanitiser smell as if u just dipped your hand in nail varnish remover. Instead they smell of vanilla cookies, lavender, apple blossom, cherries all sorts of scents! There very moisturising and do not leave a drying feeling on your hands. I highly recommend these as they're perfect if you cant get to the sink to wash your hands!




Lipstick is a huge must have for summer. I think! I love this pink lipstick from boots natural collection in the shade "pink petal". This colour lasts forever and is extremly moisturising. I often use this as a tint and dab it on my lips, blot an go! Is very buildable and an absolute bargain!

I have more summer nail polishs i love! This is oh so gorgeous by essence and is a bright orange colour. It looks alot darker on camera but in person its a more pastel shade of orange. The formula is great quality and again only needs one coat and dries instantly!
This fusia nail varnish is my fav all year around! The colour of it makes me think of flowers and gorgeous petals! This takes seconds to dry, the only bad thing is the brush is very narrow, takes well to the nails and stays for 3-4 days without chipping!






Fake eyelashes!!! Where would i be without my elf fake eye lashes? These are not a must have for summer but they can transform your make up from day to night in a matter of seconds! these come with glue but its not the best! They are not obviously fake and do not over power the eye! I often cut the end piece to make them blend in with my own eye lashes more! One coat of mascara and they blend in perfectly!





Last but not least is this ombre solaire tan! Sublime bronze! It is a gel formula and often this scares me as i have dry skin but i find if i moisturise the day before and exfoliate this tan stays on for days!!
It doesnt smell of curry or buscuits and only takes 8 hours to come up! It can often last a full week from one application and when moisturised turns into a gorgeous gold colour!




Happy Summer Lovin'

DIY SPARKLE SHOES!


DIY Sparkle shoes!!!!!!!!!!





Here's a quick guide how to make glitter shoes!
Okay so everyone knows from shopping that glitter shoes can be pretty pricey and sometimes have an awful tendency to flake or peel! Well I have the solution to this!
MAKE YOUR OWN!

This cost me literally the price of pva glue and a small cartoon of sliver glitter.
You can get both supplies from any craft store and of coarse the pair of shoes! I pick a black pair of heels that I got in pennys months ago for 12 euro and I was bored of the look of them so I said why not design my own? J

So first step is to cover the shoes in pva glue! Sounds a little scary but its like being back in school!

Gently squeeze some pva glue onto the shoes all over or wherever is desired! I only did the heels as I didn’t think I had enough glitter to do the entire shoe!

Then use an old paint brush or even your finger and then spread the glue out! It takes seconds; make sure you keep moving so the glue doesn’t set! If you’re going to do the whole shoe I advise doing it in sections so the glue doesn’t dry out!

Then over an old shoe box, towel, newspaper, magazine anything that will catch the glitter sprinkle the glitter over the wet glue. Shake off excess glue and then slowly dab the glitter with your finger! Don’t go too hard or the glue will go lumpy this is just to push the glitter in the whole way!

Follow the same method for your phone cover, iPod, purse, bag whatever it is! Three easy steps, glue, brush, shake and done J

The options are endless so experiment :) 
It literally took me 5 minutes and who doesn’t love glittery things? J
