Spring Nails

Image
Spring is almost upon us, so it's time to rock out those spring nail colours. These 3 are definitely my favourites when it comes to spring nails. Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Polish in the shade Huckleberry- £3.99 Nails inc. By InStyle in the shade Copacabana Coral- £11.00 Rimmel Lycra Pro in the shade 420 Aqua Cool- They don't sell these anymore in Boots or Superdrug but I found it on Fragrance Direct reduced from £5.99 to 99p Here ! What are your favourite colours for Spring? Lots of love, Son x

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel

Image
    I have been lusting after this bronzer for absolutely ages and was able to get my hands on it, and it was love at first swatch. Firstly can we just appreciate how amazingly gorgeous the packaging of this product is. The sleek tub embossed with the iconic Chanel logo makes this look really special. The tub is pretty hefty, so might not be great for travelling. Although it does come with 30g of product which is more than double of the rest of my bronzers! So for the extortionate £32 this baby will last you a heck of a long time! I cant quite pin point the formula of this but I would best describe it as a cream to powder finish which is perfect for when you want your bronzer to last. It is the perfect matte shade for my skin with the perfect amount of pigmentation to add a really lovely bronzed glow without looking over the top. I am just in awe of how beautiful this is. I hope you are all well and looking forward to spring. Don't forget to foll...

Toni&Guy Reconstruction Mask

Image
I've been really loving this mask recently, after getting a long overdue trim I promised myself that I would not let my hair get into the awful condition that it got to before. I use this mask about once a week and let it sink into the ends for about 10 minutes before rinsing and basking in the silkiness left behind. It is sold in Boots for around £8 I believe and has really been helping keeping my hair nourished and soft. Lots of love, Son x

Brighton Outfit & Photos

Image
  I went to stay with my friend in the lovely Brighton for a few days at the beginning of this week and I thought I would share with you guys my outfit and a few of the pics I took on my phone whilst I was there. We were really lucky with the weather at is was really warm with a slight breeze, so we took it upon ourselves to embrace the fresh air and enjoy the sunshine. I hope you are all well and looking forward to the transition into Spring! Enjoy.. <3 Outfit Roll Neck Knitted Jumper- Jack Wills (Men's, courtesy of my boyfriend) Jeans- Topshop Leighs Shoes- Timberlands Sunglasses- Primark   I know the pictures aren't great quality but I didn't take my blogging camera with me so I'm really sorry about that. I hope you liked this slightly different post today. Lots of love, Son x

Travel Skincare Essentials

Image
  As this post goes up I will be in Brighton visiting a friend, wooooo. So I have compacted my skincare products down to the bare minimal and I thought I would share with you the 4 products that I couldn't leave behind. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - This travel size of my fave cleanser is the perfect product for on the go and seriously packs a punch in the cleansing department. It removes all traces of makeup without drying out the skin and it feels like you're pampering your face every time you use it. Josie Maran Argan Oil Light - I love this for injecting a tonne of moisture into my skin after moisturising as I find that it is the best at locking in all the juices.. mm. Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Serum- I have mentioned this a few times on my blog as it has been a ongoing participant in my skincare routine for about 2 years now and 5 tubes later. Hyaluronic acid has the ability to absorb 1,000 times its weight in water making this plump up your s...

Soft Ocre

Image
  The latest edition to my MAC family comes in the form of the pro longwear paint pot in the shade Soft Ocre. It is one of those well renowned cult products that the world and her dog seems to own. So I couldn't help jumping on the bandwagon. This is the perfect yellow toned base for all over the lid to get rid of any pigmentation or veins that you want to cover up if going for a natural make up look. Also it does what it says on the pot and pro longs eyeshadow wear without creasing. The formula isn't drying although once set lasts up to 12 hours. Definitely up there in my top recent purchases. Lots of love Son, x

Red.

Image
  After uploading my "Red Lips Cat Flick" post here , I decided to do a whole post focused on my go-to red lip. This combo forms the most perfect red lip look I think I have ever found. The liner creates an amazing base for the lipstick to follow and ensures the longevity of your pout and makes sure the lipstick doesn't bleed and smudge all over your face by the end of the day. My particular fave red liner of the moment is max factors colour elixir in the shade red rush, which costs a mere £4.99 in the likes of boots. Now let's schooch on over to the more pricier side of things. Hourglass is definitely a high end brand and the price tag coincides with the label. This lipstick costs £22, I know, ouch! but I definitely think it is worth it. Kind of like Mac's Lady Danger, this has a slight orangey undertone which I really think suits my skin tone. It attains a really moisturising formula so doesn't leave you with cracked flaky lips. Lots of love, ...
