Small Haul: Primark, Superdrug and Boots

Hi everyone!, yesterday I went to town with a friend and bought a few things. I went into Primark, Superdrug and Boots.

First of all I picked up some clothes from Primark. I needed some pyjama shorts for the summer as I didnt have any. I saw these cute floral shorts for £3. They have a lace detail around the edge and remind me a bit of Cath Kidston. These were a great bargain! Secondly I bought this blue top which was £4. I had seen similar tops like this in Topshop a while ago for about £18. As soon as I saw this I rushed to go and grab it. They had many other colours, nicluding grey, peach and green. This would be great for summer and for autumn as it is a very versatile top to wear.

Next I went to Superdrug and bought an MUA bronzer. This bronzer is in the shade 3 which is a matte dark shade. I only own 1 other bronzer from ELF which is a bit glittery for me. This was also a bargain at only a £1. I also had seen a lot of good reviews about it, so I though I would give it a go.

I also went to Boots where I bought the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 1 Fair. This is my overal favourite concealer and I would definitely recommend it. It provides great coverage to use under your eyes and on any blemishes. I bought it for £4.19. I also bought the Natural Collection WaterGuard Mascara for £1.99. I love this mascara as I use it mostly everyday. Its a great mascara to curl your lashes and provide volume. It also makes your lashes look really natural.

Hope you enjoyed my very first haul!

My Summer Essentials/ Must Haves

Hi everyone! Today i'm going to be sharing with you my essential beauty products for summer. Hope you enjoy.

Avon Care Fresh Hydration Brightening Hand Cream
I absolutely love this stuff! Its really refreshing on your hands and smells gorgeous to. It has a lemon and cucumber extract which makes it even more amazing and great for summer. Its also great in hot weather, if you want to refresh your hands. The smell lingers for a long time. The formula really does moisturize your hands and gets rid of any dry areas. I would recommend this product

Hollister Laguna Beach Body Spray/ Mist 
I got this last summer and it was around £12. The scent is incredible. On the website it says it contains peach, guava and coconut milk. The fragrance reminds me of summer and the beach. Its great to freshen up with especially on a hot summers day. I love the packaging because I love floral prints. I would recommend this product.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder
As you can see I have hit pan on this product. I have repurchased this about 3 already and I am going to repurchase this again. I have really oily skin and in the summer I need something that can control it. This works perfectly for me. It lasts up to 6 hours. I have it in the shade 'transparent' which means it has no colour so it won't make me look orange! It keeps excess shine at bay. You can purchase this at Boots for £3.99

MUA Nail Varnish in 'Pistachio Ice Cream'
I love MUA nail varnishes as they are a bargain at only £1 each! I also own 'Natural Days' This shade is perfect for summer as it is a pastel bright colour. You do need to apply 2 or more coats of it as it is a thin consistency. Nevertheless, its a great essential for summer as it brightens up your outfit! This sahde is also very similar to Essie- Mint Candy Apple which is £7.99. I feel that this is a great dupe for it at a fraction of the price. You can purchase this at Superdrug for £1

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
I have written a full review on this sample HERE. As I have oily skin, a primer is essential for me in the summer. I got given this and I love it! It has a matte consistency when you apply it to your face. It mattifies your face really well and helps foundation stay on for longer. You can buy the full size of this product at Boots for £25

The Body Shop Born Lippy Pink Berry Lip Balm 
My lips tend to get really dry and chapped in the summer so I need something to protect them. I have found this works really well in soothing my lips and moisturizing them. The smell of this is also lovely and is very fruity. You can get this lip balm in a variety of flavours. I luckily got this lip balm for free with voucher I had a few months ago. It has lasted quite well and I would definitely repurchase this when it runs out. You can buy this lipbalm HERE for £3

Thank you  so much for reading!

My Top 5 Summer Nail Polishes

Hi everyone! So today I thought I would share with you my top 5 nail varnishes for summer. In the summer I tend to wear a lot of nail polish as i'm not allowed to wear any at school :( Hope you enjoy!

Rimmel 60 Seconds 430 Coralicious  I love this colour! I have done a little review HERE on it.  Its fairly long lasting on the nails and doesn't chip for a long time. The brush is quite wide which means its easy to apply on your nails. The colour is quite bright which means its perfect for a pop of colour in your outfit! You can buy this nail polish HERE from Boots at only £3.69

Nails Inc Atomic by Fabulous I have had this nail polish for a while now. I got it free with another Nails Inc nail polish from the Fabulous magazine in The Sun newspaper. The colour is gorgeous! It is a really bright orange shade which is great for summer to brighten up your outfit.  I wear this quite often in the summer as I really enjoy wearing the colour orange on my nails.

Jack Wills Nail Varnish in shade 'Jade' I got this from Jack Wills in a sale last year, it was reduced from £6 down to £3. The shade is a darker toned mint green colour. It goes great with any summer outfits and with a tan. I think it goes really well with a white top and denim shorts.The colour is long lasting and you only need 1 coat of it. I think any mint green colour works well in the summer, especially Mint Candy Apple by Essie.

MUA Nail Varnish in shade 'Natural Days' I have done a small review on this nail varnish HERE. The colour is a light pastel pink shade. I love MUA nail varnishes as they are really affordable at £1 each. They do many different shades which look great in the summer including 'Pistachio Ice Cream' which I also own. The formula I found is quite runny which means you do need to apply 2 or more coats of it.

Essie Nail Varnish in shade 'Lapiz Of Luxury'  This is my all time favourite nail polish. It is medium shade of blue which looks amazing in the summer and in all other seasons. The formula is also great as it is quite thick. The brush is wide which means it is easy to apply. It stays on your nails for a long time and doesn't chip unlike any other nail polishes. However Essie nail polishes are quite pricey at £7.99 but I feel they are worth the money.You can buy it HERE from Boots at £7.99

These are my 5 top summer nail polishes, hope you enjoyed reading!

Whats On My Nails #2

Hi everyone!, today i'm going to be showing you whats on my nails. Today I am wearing MUA nail varnish in 'Natural Days'

It is a light pastel pink shade and looks great for summer, especially with tanned skin! The formula of this I found is quite thin so you need to apply more than 1 coat to the nails. The packaging reminds me a lot like Essie nail varnishes, but a smaller version. It costs only £1 from Superdrug. You can buy this nail polish HERE. Overall I would rate this nail varnish 7/10

Thanks for reading!
