I HEART SUMMER TAG ♡

1 Favourite bronzer for summer?

I love Hoola from Benefit. It looks great with fair to tanned skin, lasts for ages and never goes orange!

2 You're relaxing in a hammock on a tropical island, what are you sipping on?

I'm far from a cocktail connoisseur but I'd definitely be sipping on mojitos and lemonade mixers. 

3 Favourite summer lip product?

I never stay on one product for long enough! But I've been loving the Revlon balm stains for a long time and I love Lovesick which is a hot pink*

4 Pool or beach?

The pool would have to trump the beach this time because there's nothing like relaxing in your own infinity pool watching the sunset. Oh I wish...

5 Summer = Crazy hair - What's your must have styling product?

I use very few products in the summer because I find that they weigh my hair down but I love Moroccan oil (argan oil) as it moisturises so well and I like to think it protects my hair too.

6 Sunbathing or fake tan?

I always get a deeper tan when fake tanning but tans always look better when formed naturally in the sun so I'd go with sunbathing; and they're not so difficult to maintain!

7 Favourite summer nail polish?

I have been absolutely loving the Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail paints. My favourite at the moment is Passionfruit closely followed by Papaya.

8 Any summer traditions?

I don't really have any summer traditions though I always go on holiday somewhere and I love staying at a hotel with all the luxuries!

9 Favourite summer scent?

I don't really wear perfume in the summer that much, I like to go with my natural aura! I do love Daisy by Marc Jacobs though. It smells so flowery and happy. I love it.

10 Favourite BBQ food?

I'm a big fan of chipolatas. Give me a well cooked one of those and I'm happy. I also adore chicken kebabs!

11 What's your favourite summer-proof product?

I love BB Cream. The SPF in it is perfect for the sunshine and I also find I don't need as much make up in the summer so it covers my blemishes but is still super light for sweaty and melting moments!

12 Any vacation plans this year?

I've been really busy with work and moving home this summer so I haven't had a holiday but my parents went to the French Riviera which I was super jealous of! I'm hopefully taking a wee trip in September though if everything works out and that'll be so relaxing. Plus more time to get my bikini body!


Do let me know if you enjoy tags and I'd love to hear if you've been on holiday and where! 

Take care x

LITTLE WISH LIST ♡


1. IKEA Korken Jars
2. BENEFIT They're Real! Mascara
3. NASTYGAL Tough Mesh Dress
4. NAILS INC Special Effects Feathers Polish in Chester Feathers
5. ZARA Combined Sandal with Stiletto

So I feel awful for not having updated my blog in a week for the second time running and I hope you'll all forgive me. I haven't known what to write about and I didn't want to put up another review! So here's a wee wish list that I've been after recently.

1. The jars are just a small thing but I'd really love to buy several and fill them with sweeties to put around my flat. I think that would look so cheerful and jolly. 
2. I absolutely adore the Benefit mascara, I've repurchased it before but it's so expensive so I don't know whether or not to buy it again!
3. I've been wanting to buy something from NastyGal for a while, but only ever in the sale! This dress is so cute and I think I might buy it as a motivational piece of clothing for my weight loss! 
4. This feathers polish was debuted by Nails Inc and Revlon and Sally Hansen have gone on to recreate it. At £11 a bottle it's a bit expensive but Nails Inc are brilliant quality and I love the feather effect!
5. These shoes I have already ordered but they haven't arrived yet. I definitely want to try them with turned up jeans!

Do you guys have a wish list? Let me know :)

Take care x

REVIEW | ORIGINS SUPER SPOT REMOVER


 This is the 'IT' spot treatment. Alongside Sudocrem, it is known as the best spot treatment and the blogs have been all over it!

It retails for about £12 and I got mine from the Origins counter in House of Fraser. It's a gel consistency with witch hazel and clove oil with makes it smell very simple and herbal. You just apply a tiny amount to the spot and after a few hours it dries over the spot until you wash your face. It feels very refreshing and it does sting quite a bit when it's applied but I kind of like that because it feels like it's really deeply targeting the spot.  

I was really impressed when I started using this. A little goes a very very long way which means the £12 price tag is perfect reasonable as this little baby lasts for ages. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for people with acne as I don't know how it would work but for hormonal breakouts or that pre-date zit it's perfect! It doesn't remove the spot completely - this isn't Harry Potter after all - but it reduces the size dramatically and the redness and tenderness of the spot.

This treatment is perfect for before bed. We've all had that experience with the Sudocrem all over the sheets... but this stays on all night. It says you can apply make up over it but I actually find that the treatment dries and flakes and it looks terrible under make up so this is best used overnight or washed off before make up application.

Overall, I love this treatment so so much and it's totally affordable! Have you tried it?
Thanks guys. Take care x
