Boy do i love me a Summer dress! I love how easy it is to throw on a dress when the wethers nice and there you go, instant outfit. Each new Spring/Summer season i like to update my wardrobe with a few new Summer dresses that i no i will wear to death. The instant i spotted this beauty of a dress in River Island i knew it was coming home with me. I love the bold primary colours, the yellow, blue, red and white flowers together remind me of pop art in a weird way and i think its just such an interesting print.
With Summer dresses i like to keep it simple and let the gorgeous dress do the talking, just a pair of summery white sandals, a few mismatched bracelets and my Mr T chain ha... And of course no summer dress is complete without a pair of sunnies! These are the Audrey glasses from Jeepers Peepers, i love how simple they are with a very feminine and sophisticated style, my new favorites.

Sleek i-Divine Del Mar Palette Review

 

Lounge Lovers/Poolside/Sunset Strip/Ambience/Chilled Out/Blue Marlin

Opening Party/On The Rocks/Talamanca/Feel Euphoric/Balaric Beat/Paradise

You no that feeling when you get a new piece of makeup that you love so much, your just so excited to talk about or if your also a blogger blog about, because you adore everything about it? Well thats how i feel about this palette!
The new Sleek i-Divine palette is a limited edition collection of new colours with an Ibiza theme. Everything from the packaging down to the individual eyeshadow names has an Ibiza vibe.
The palette consists of twelve of the most perfect pastels, corals and aqua shades that just scream Spring/Summer. At first glance the colours may seem a bit bold and scary but in fact their quite subtle extremely wearable shades. You don't have to wear purple, orange and green all together if thats a bit much for you the great thing is you can mix them with some of the neutral shades for a more toned down look.
In fact on the back of the box there's a few helpful tips included with ideas of ways to wear the colours if they seem a bit daunting and you don't no what to mix with what which i think is a great idea especially if you a makeup beginner.
The shadows are a mixture of matt, metallic and pearl finnish, and i personally love having a bit of variety in a palette.
Lounge Lovers is the only metallic finish, its a gorgeous neutral shade that goes amazingly with all the colours.
Opening Party, On The Rocks, Feel Euphoric and Paradise all have a pearl like sheen to them which is so pretty and gives a bit of dimension.
All of the rest of the colours, Talamanca, Poolside, Sunset Strip, Ambience, Chilled Out, Blue Marlin and Balearic Beat are matt shades, i think its great to have a matt white in a palette and also the matt brown shade Talemanca is a great shade for the crease to add definition.
I don't really think i could pick a favorite colour from the palette there all so unique and amazingly all go so well together, with this palette the colour combinations and different looks you can create are just endless.
This little beauty really is my top pick for Spring/Summer eyes, i no I'll be getting a lot of use out of it and it will definitely be coming with me on my upcoming holiday!

Which colour is your favorite?

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in Rose de Jasper

Im going to be completely honest and start this post out by saying i have not been a big fan of the Bourjois Little Pot Blushers in the past! I no you must be feeling a bit confused as to why i would have picked up a new one then so let me explain...

I no the Bourjois blushers are famous and much loved so when i tried my first one i really wanted to love it, unfortunately i did not. I found the beautiful colour that enticed me in the first place just didn't show up, all i was left with was very shimmery cheeks not the look i was going for. More recently i have tried a couple of the Bourjois cream blushers and been really impressed, they were lovely colours that blend well with an interesting cream to powder finish that i find lasts really well. 

Anyway, when i picked up the new Bourjois CC Cream and Concealer a few months back Superdrug had an offer that if you spent £15 or more you got a free Little Pot of Blusher or Eyeshadow. I was going to go for an eyeshadow when i thought perhaps the powder blushers deserved another chance, i spotted Rose de Jasper one of the newer shades and decided to give it a go. 

If you are unfamiliar with the Bourjois products, the blushers come in little round pots with a mirror in the lid and a little brush. I am a fan of the packaging its small and easy to slip into your makeup bag, the mirror is a handy extra too. I personally don't use the brush its too small and i prefer to use my Real Techniques brush but it is helpful to have. 

On to the colour, Rose de Jasper is a dusky rose shade, very english rose. Considering its quite a dark pink i actually find it looks very natural on the skin. Luckily i made a good choice and it is a lot more pigmented than the blusher i tried before, it gives a good flush of colour to the cheeks. 

It does have a shimmery finish, but its very subtle and just looks like a healthy natural sheen to the skin. 

I really do love this shade, and i am happy to report that I'm glad i gave the Bourjois Little Pot Blushers another shot. 

Have you tried a Bourjois Little Pot blusher? What did you think?

OOTD Yellow Daisy's

Jumper- Missguided

Bralet- Missguided (link)

Shorts- River Island (link)

Sandals- Topshop (link)

Sunglasses- Jeepers Peepers* (link)

Bracelets- Primark

Is everybody enjoying the wether lately? I no i am, its so nice to be able to bring out more summery clothes and not have to wear tights and coats etc. I bought these shorts a month or so ago and its feels like i have been waiting forever for a chance to wear them! How cute are they, i love daisy print so pretty, and the perfect print for Spring and Summer. I think i've seen a matching top to these shorts unfortunately my local River Island didn't have it otherwise i probably would have picked that up to as i've got a bit of a thing for co-ords at the moment. Instead i wore it with this simple bralet from Missguided which i'm also loving such a great buy for under ten pounds i want it in every colour. 

The jumper is just my favorite thing to throw on over an outfit at the moment as although the suns been out its still a bit chilly some days, i love the look of a cropped jumper with a high waist like these shorts. 

Accessory wise i kept things pretty simple for me a few simple bracelets and a pair of sunnies, these are the Winston sunglasses from Jeepers Peepers, i love the classic laid back style you can find them stocked at Asos, Topshop, Urban Outfitters or on their website. The sandals are my new favorite pair from Topshop, i've got a massive thing for white footwear right now, its just such a summery colour that goes so well with pastels, i no these are going to get a lot of wear. 

My Top Spring Lipsticks

 

Whimsical/Costa Chic/Rose Tendre/Tease/Rendez-Vous

Hello lovelies, i've got another Spring top picks post for you today and this time its lipsticks.
As with nails i  wear a lot of dark vampy colours on my lips through winter, so when Spring comes around i feel the need to change it up and i feel like wearing lighter and brighter colours like pretty spring pinks, peaches and coral shades.
I've picked my favorite five lipsticks that i have already been wearing a lot so far this Spring and will be continuing to do so...

Topshop Whimsical-
Whimsical is a really pretty and fresh peach colour, its a matt formula yet is not drying on the lips. It has great pigmentation yet is still quite a subtle colour just lovely.

Mac Costa Chic-
This is one of my newer lipstick purchases, i've only had it for a couple months. From the instant i tried it i new it would be a Spring favorite, its a vivid coral shade with a frost finish that just adds the prettiest touch, i will be rocking this right through till Summer.

L'oreal Color Riche Rose Tendre-
This lipstick is from the Color Riche Natural Blondes its meant to be the perfect natural nude shade for blondes. Its a very pale frosted pink colour so pretty and gives a nice sheen, the formula is also lovely very moisturizing.

Topshop Tease-
Tease is again a matt formula, it's a very blue toned Barbie pink, it's a very bold shade but i love it. A perfect pop of colour for the lips.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Rendez-Vous-
Ahh a little bit of luxury, this was the first Chanel lipstick i've tried but it was love straight away. Such lovely formulation rich colour, great pigmentation, glossy finish, lasts well the list colour go on!
The colour is a beautiful vivid pink not too pale not too bright just the perfect everyday Spring pink.

So that was my top Spring lipsticks, Which is your favorite?

1- Lunar Necklace Blue Topaz Gold Plated Sterling Silver £27 (Link)

I love this pretty necklace, you are guaranteed to get compliments with this beautiful and delicate gem around your neck. The circle of Blue Topaz is set in a gold ring with a black chain which gives an interesting twist. 

2- Maxi Tear Ring, Blue Topaz Sterling Silver £14 (Link)

This ring is just so pretty even though its not a tiny stone the tear drop shape is so delicate looking and unique it really is a stand out piece of jewelry, and i love Blue Topaz it's so clear pure looking. 

3- Willow Bangle, Rose Quartz Sterling Silver £36 (Link)

The most expensive of my top picks but a very gorgeous piece of jewelry that would definitely be worth spending a bit more on. A simple style that will never go out of fashion with a beautiful pale pink Rose Quarts stone 

4- Stone Stack, Multi-Gemstone Sterling Silver £31 (Link)

How amazing is this set of rings?! These are my favorite without a doubt, the rings contain gorgeous stones of Citrine, Amethyst, Peridot, Garnet and Blue Topaz that look amazing together, and the great thing about stacking rings is you can wear them all as a set or separate and mix them up with other rings.

5-Lunar Bracelet Amethyst Gold Plated Sterling Silver £26 (Link)

The Lunar Bracelet would be the perfect accompaniment for the Lunar Necklace worn as a set, you wouldn't even need to have matching stones i think this gorgeous amethyst stone would perfectly compliment the Blue Topaz. 

The Lunar bracelet also comes in a mixture of different gems and metals that would look great worn together.

Sleek Corrector & Concealer Palette

Corrector/Concealer/Powder

I had really wanted to try a corrector and concealer palette for a while now, my under eye area does tend to look quite purple and, its not a massive problem i usually just cover it with a brightening concealer, but i was interested to see what difference a corrector would actually make.
I have been massively impressed with all the other Sleek products i've tried in the past so i thought id give their Corrector & Concealer palette a whirl.
The palette contains a corrector shade to lift and brighten the dark circles, a concealer to cover and restore the correct skin tone, and a powder to set, protect and finish.
The palette is small and a perfect size for a makeup bag or handbag, with a decent amount of product for its amazingly cheap price of £7.99!
The palette come in five shades 1 being the lightest 5 the darkest, i picked up the shade 02. The corrector is a very light milky pink colour, and the concealer is actually quite dark. It is a good match for my foundation, but i usually like to go lighter under my eyes so its not as light as i would of liked, i think i should have gone for 01. The powder is light and very yellow toned so it does seem to slightly tone down the concealer.
The corrector and concealer have a lovely smooth easily blendable consistency that feels very light under the eyes, i do find them both slightly greasy feeling so i definitely wouldn't wear them without setting with the powder after.
I am actually really impressed with the corrector it is incredibly brightening and does a great job of getting rid of dark circles, it is too light for me to use it on its own but with the concealer on top my under eyes really do look a lot better.
Im not as impressed with the powder, the colour is good at brightening but although it is a smooth and light powder i find it seems to settle into creases too much.
As much as i am impressed with the brightening affect this had on my dark circles there is one massive downside for me, the longevity. I find this creases under my eyes very quickly and I'm quite surprised by this as i had read good reviews about it lasting well. The corrector and concealer are both very rich and creamy so perhaps they just are not very well suited to oily skin like mine?
Overall i have found this palette a bit hit and miss, i don't think its a bad product but not amazing either its just a shame that it doesn't last well on me. I really love the corrector and will continue to use it, just with a different concealer on top i think so i don't get the under eye creasing.

Has anyone else tried the Sleek Corrector & Concealer Palette? What did you think?
