My Skincare Routine; Summer 2014

Hi everyone, sorry i forgot to post this on Tuesday, I've been so busy recently with my school work and netball trials, but here it is! This is my Summer skincare routine! 

First of all i like to cleanse and clean my face using a Freederm wipe, then when I'm in the bath/shower i use my St Ives Apricot exfoliator. This helps to keep my skin smooth and refreshed. Then i moisturise my face using the Body Shop Coconut body milk, such an amazing product! Don't use too much of this, just enough to sink into the skin and keep it moisturised and smooth. Then i take my Clearasil Rapid Action treatment cream and put this over any spots or redness i may have, this stuff is a miracle worker, I've used it for years! Then i'll just take some coco butter vaseline and cover my eyelashes from root to tip to keep them long and healthy, and of course apply some cherry chapstick.

This is just what i like to do and what i like to use, it may not work for everyone but it seems to work for me!

Wish List; next buys (fashion and beauty)

Hi everyone, its sundaayyy!
Well i have a non-pupil day at my school tomorrow and so i think I'm gonna go shopping! I thought id let you know whats on my wish list of things to get! First of all, every time i go into topshop i feel myself drawn in to the shoes, i think i have a shoe obsession right now, anyway i have decided my absolute favourites are the black crocodile kinda texture patent skate shoes, THEY ARE PERFECT! Next up, also from topshop, is the tortoiseshell brown/black cat-eye sunglasses, these are so gorgeous, and look just like Alexa Chung's for a fraction of the price. While we're on sunglasses, i have also spotted an absolute steal-buy that i just need in my life, the h&m round sunglasses, they're brown with metal on and their gorgeeeeeeous! The last fashion buy I'm after is a pair of good old jeans, now i don't know where I'm gonna get these from but I'm desperate for a good old pair of comfy denim jeans. Oh and i also really want the h&m white jeggings, there so comfy, i mean seriously, go try 'em on. Moving onto beauty, i really want the Real Techniques expert face brush, I've seen so many you tubers rave about this and i just need to try it out! I also needed the Bourjois happy light luminous primer, it smells amazing, looks amazing, feels amazing, and its PINK, whats not to love!! I'm also on the look out for a bronzer and a big powder brush, not too sure which ones yet though. And last of all, I'm looking for a new red and bright pink lipstick, i think i'lll probably go for the Kate x Rimmel ones because they pply really nicely.

Well i think thats it guys, if you have any ideas on what bronzer i should buy be sure to email me or leave a comment! Make sure you go follow me on instagram too @gracekxdd_

Orange; the colour to be wearing!

Hi everyone! Todays post is about a hidden beauty trend, and fashion but mainly beauty, and its the colour Orange! If you look at the ss14 catwalks, you'll notice one thing, and that is the orange lips, nails, cheeks, eyes springing up from everywhere. Its a very bright vibrant colour, that makes everyone feel happy! If your not feeling so brave, go for an electric orange nail, or subtle orange glow to the cheeks, even a hint of an orange eyeshadow- but if your feeling confident and ready to embrace your inner tangerine, then get yourself some bright orange lipstick, a powerful orange eyeliner, and a healthy orange tinted glow. Trust me, it may sound disgusting, but it works so well, and is sooo fashionable atm. Orange screams summer, and you can even try some orange in your clothes and accessories. To be completely fashion savvy, bag yourself some bright orange cut out jelly shoes, these are trending so much right now, and is just the most gorgeous, stand out piece by far for this season.
If you try out this trend, and found this post super helpful, be sure to post a pic on Instagram and tag me in the comment @gracekxdd_

Bye everyone, have a good week! x gk
