Summer Favourites 2014!

Hi everyone, so summer has now officially ended, as i am now back at school. Here comes autumn! But before we push on into a/w i think its time to reminisce over this fab time of year, by sharing with you all the things i have been loving this summer! I'll go through it all in different sections to make it easier for you to see!

Skincare.
First up has to be the product that just wakes up my skin every morning, and this is the Clean & Clear Morning Energy skin brightening daily facial scrub. This has really helped my skin and has a lovely fresh lemony scent.
The other thing i was loving when i went to Kos was the Garnier Ambre Solaire clear protect + spf 30 suncream. This comes out as a transparent spray and is so so easy to apply. It's also really water resistant so you can go in the water and still be protected by a high spf.
When it comes to moisturising my body i have also fallen in love with the White Musk Body Lotion from the Body Shop, it sinks in really well and has a lovely fragrance to it. I put it on at night and wake up with really soft skin.

Haircare.
Just one favourite this month and its the Matt & Messy shine free salt spray by L'oreal Paris. This is lovely to add texture to your hair after showering to give a tousled effect.

Nails.
About 6 weeks ago i had some gel nails done at a near by salon, and they were gorgeous!! They lasted for about 4 weeks until i had to remove them as my nails had grown so much it looked ridiculous! They didn't chip at all and the girl that did them helped me choose some gorgeous colours textures and patterns
However when i did take them off my nails were not at strong as they had been as the acetone i used to remove them damaged my nails considerably. Therefore i have been using the Models Own 4 way nail stick all the time to try and keep my nails looking respectable. The four sides are file,buff, smooth and shine and they really do work!

Makeup.
I haven't bought that much new makeup this summer but one thing i did buy was the natural collection Lash care Mascara in clear. I use this to help keep my eyelashes healthy when I'm not wearing mascara some days, and as a brow gel to keep my brows in place. Lovely formula, applicator and product! And also very cheap!!
The other thing i have been loving this summer is the blusher in Antique by Sleek. I love Sleek makeup and although i bought this quite a long time ago i have absolutely fallen back in love with it. I wear it dusted lightly along my cheekbone as the beautiful shimmer and colour of it really highlight and define. I will definitely be purchasing some different shades as i love it and wear it practically every day!
Another thing, that isn't really makeup, or skin care, is the cocoa butter vaseline. I use this every day. I apply it to my eyelids and lashes over night to nourish and restore my lashes and i also use it on my lips as the most amazing, nourishing, softening lip balm ever. It feels amazing on the lips and i wake up with silky smooth lips. I just bought a new one as i just ran put of my tub.

Fashion.
When the weathers warm and i want to put some shorts on my go-to pair are my hollister distressed denim short shorts. Now these are very short, but the fit is amazing and it is just the perfect colour with the perfect amount of distressing. I'm obsessed.
I've also been wearing my vintage flannel i got in margate all the time too, staple piece.
I also got the most gorgeous deep blue/green leather rucksack for school from Accesorize, its gorgeousss!

People.
This summer when i'm having a lazy day or I'm a bit bored in the evening, i will always go to youtube. And this summer there have been 4 you tubers that I've been obsessed with! These are Zoe Sugg (Zoella) Lily Pebbles (lilypebbles) Anna (viviannadoesmakeup) and Aspyn Ovard (aspynovard). These you tubers have bought me valuable life lessons, introduced me to amazing new products, showed me amazing places and made me giggle. I'm obsessed with watching their blogs and i love every single one of their videos. Seriously, go check the out!

Music.
Now i don't particularly like all the chart music all the time, i just find it gets a bit boring to be listening to the same pop songs as everyone else. Don't get me wrong i still download them and listen to them sometimes, but i prefer indie/rock/alternative music. Here are the bands/people I've been loving; Imagine Dragons, Arctic Monkeys, The Script, Coldplay, Foster The people, Onerepublic, La Roux, The Fray, Passion Pit, Linkin Park and Kasabian to name a few… The list could go on for hours!!

Activity.
I'm completely obsessed with fashion, and Ive read every single fashion magazine you can think of! I also love to read fashion books and spend my evening studying them and drawn. yep. Thats me.



I hope you enjoyed this favourites post!
