Summer Essentials

Hello All! 

I hope everyone is enjoying this weather as much as I am. It's rare in Scotland to get a spell of great weather to last this long so today I wanted to talk about my top summer essentials. We aren't always prepared up here for a heatwave and I've put together some of my favourite products and items that I cannot go without! 

Sliders

First off is a good pair of sliders. Mine are Adidas and I picked these up for £30 in Office. They are so comfortable to wear and go with just about every outfit. Definitely an essential in this heat, avoid socks at all cost! You can get them HERE!

Sunglasses

I find it really hard to get a pair of sunnies that I love. I always go for the biggest ones I can see as they suit my face the best! I found the perfect pair in New Look for only £8.99, big thick square frames with a dark leopard print pattern. They go with everything and I have been wearing them pretty much every day since I got them! Sunnies HERE

Bondi Sands Self Tan Eraser

I started using Bondi Sands Tan Eraser around Christmas time but now that I'm wearing fake tan pretty much all the time this is a must have (I'm very jealous of all you gals who are turning brown naturally in the sun but I've accepted that it ain't ever gonna happen for me)! I could spend an age in the bath scrubbing my poor skin getting off every last patch of Fake Bake but this product has been a huge game changer! Once my tan is ready to come off I just lather up my whole body, wait about 10 minutes and then wipe away the tan with a flanel in a bath! It is quite pricey at £14.99 a bottle but I will repurchase this every time it runs out as I really couldn't go without it now! GET IT ON SALE HERE

Skin Kissed Vitamin C Serum

I recently got sent this product to test out and I am loving it. I have been using this serum morning and night and it has made my skin so much healthier looking. It feels firmer and more hydrated and gives me a nice glow during the day. I have been using it as a primer for my make up as I never really like applying moisturiser before foundation as my skin can be combination/oily especially in the heat. This stuff just gives a gorgeous feeling smooth base and doesn't make your make up slide about during the day. Pick one up for yourself HERE

Benefit Dew The Hoola Bronzer

This is my favourite bronzer for summer. It gives the same colour as the OG Hoola that everyone loves but as this is a liquid it gives a gorgeous natural glow at the same time. If it's a super hot day you can just apply some of this with a beauty blender and it will give you that beaut tanned glow like you've been at the beach all day! I've been using this for a couple of years now and it always comes out in the summer and never disappoints. You can get this at any Benefit counter or online HERE

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

Saving the best till last, this is my most important summer essential. I drench my face in this stuff in the morning. I spray some on my face before applying makeup, sometimes I use it to dampen my beauty blender, and of course will spray after makeup to make sure it stays all day! In this heat if you have to wear a full face you can avoid it budging at all with this stuff! I always get asked what foundation I use and I always say it's this stuff making it last the full day. It smells fresh as well which is always a bonus, pick one up HERE, you won't regret it!
