I've never done a tag post before, and after seeing this over on Jen's blog It's a Blondes Life I thought I would give this one a go! It's a mix of fashion and beauty, so it's right up my street.
Nail Polish: Since picking it up in Poland, I've been absolutely loving Mint Candy Apple by Essie. It's such a gorgeous summery colour. I'll be posting a review on it and another Essie polish very soon. Nails Inc Topping Lane has also been one of my faves, although because it's a glitter polish it's a job to get off! I adore the whole Sprinkles collection, I've reviewed both Topping Lane and Pudding Lane. Is anyone else surprised to not see a Models Own polish included here? I really am!
Hair Product: I don't actually spend that much time on my hair if I'm honest. I just do the shampoo, conditioning, and a spritz of heat defence spray, before drying and straightening routine. Although it's not actually a 'hair product' as such, I'm really loving the Compact Tangle Teezer I won from the Tangle Teezer Twitter page. The condition of my hair has definitely improved!
Bag: I bought this bag quite a while back actually, but it was love at first click when I found it on the River Island website. I saw it multiple times in River Island stores before I finally took the plunge to buy it, after all £45.00 on a handbag is quite steep for me! I love everything about it, the fact its black, gold and white, it has scalloped edges, and it has a long strap. It's just the perfect bag and will be my favourite for a long time.
Shoes: I have a real thing for studs at the moment, and having the weirdest shaped feet makes finding a suitable pair of shoes pretty difficult! After trying on the infamous Topshop Vectra's and finding my feet made them look pretty horrendous, I was introduced to this lovely pair by Sam. These beauties are from MissGuided and I always team them with a black pair of skinnies (how summery of me!).
Accessory: Oh hello favourite combination of black and gold with the amazing addiction of feathers and studs. With the array of eighteenth birthday celebrations and odd nights out, I've had many occasions to wear these gorgeous earrings. They're from New Look and only cost me £3.99.
Foundation: I don't think I really need to go into much detail about this foundation, seeing as I think it's been reviewed by almost the whole of the blogging community! This is the best foundation I've tried by far, it's the perfect coverage, the best colour-match I've found for my Caspa-the-friendly-ghost-skin-tone, and it doesn't break me out.
Blusher: Unfortunately, this cream blush isn't actually available in the UK, and I got my hands on it by winning it in a USA product giveaway. This has been the perfect product for the summer, it's so light and easily blend-able on the skin, and is the perfect shade of pink.
Lips: I own a fair few lip products, but I'm not much of a lipstick-wearer. My EOS egg-shaped lipbalm and the odd application of the Collection 2000 Cream Puff Lip Cream's have been the most common lip products in my make-up routine over the Summer.
Eyeshadow: This summer I've been using the MUA Undressed and Heaven and Earth palettes in almost every make-up look. I love these palettes. I've never been very good with eyeshadow, but I've been having a practice with these, and can now create the perfect smokey eye, and what a bargain at £4.00 each.
Fragrance: I was instantly drawn to this fragrance due to the stunning design of the bottle. I love the way it looks on my dressing table, and the smell is just divine. It also reminds me of sunnier times, as I bought it when I visited Los Angeles in February (take me back!).
I tag any of you that would like to do this. If you decide to have a go, then please link me to your post in the comments. I'd love to see your most worn summer things! There are lots of posts coming up, I've been lacking a bit of inspiration, but had a crazy photo-taking day today.
Have you tried any of these products? What are your favourite Summer things?
