Elemis Total Glow Body Lotion and Moisturiser

As i total Elemis fanatic, when i received puppies in the post i was thrilled to give them a go and the fact it combines another favourite of mine (tan) i was even more excited!

I have been using the body lotion in the evenings in between tanning to prolong and top it up and then the moisturiser in the mornings to give my face a bit of a glow before applying my makeup. If you are looking for a fake tan this may not be the best product for you, but if you want a nice soft golden glow or like me want something to use in between tanning you need these.

Like every Elemis product they have a nice soft scent which for a tanning product is a nice change (no biscuit smell here) and you have the double aspect of the moisturising factor not just the colour. These do just what i want them to and i absolutely adore them. The body lotion retails at £34.50 which you can check out HERE and the moisturiser retails at £29.50 which you can check out HERE

Top 5 Festival Wardrobe Essentials

Festival season is my favourite time of year, i have been to quite a few different ones and have managed to master the fine art of the festival wardrobe. On my first ever festival i made the big mistake of taking too many clothes that i would never wear and believe me at every festival there is always a very long walk to everything and you have to carry that bag lol.

In this post i thought i would narrow it down to my top 5 essential items to make it easier for all of you lovelies with the upcoming season :-)

Denim shorts are a big must have item in my opinion, they go with everything, they are comfy, you can style them with wellies and a rain mac if the weather gets bad and if you are anything like me then as soon as the summer season starts they are always gracing your body. These ones are mega cute with the crochet detail and the lighter colour makes then oh so summery, they are an absolute steal at £12 and you can check them out HERE

A maxi dress if always a good idea as it's lightweight, simple and great if you fancy looking a bit more dressed up. You can throw this on with a statement necklace and some gladiator sandals or converse and you are ready to go, this cute spotted one is perfect for a festival and the tie waist gives it that feminine shape that is incredibly flattering. This beauty costs £16 and you can grab one HERE

As our weather is so unpredictable you can never tell when we are going to need a slight cover up so a kimono is a must, you can fold it up really small into your bag and shove it when you feel slightly chilly. This one has the cute fringe detail which dresses up any outfit and goes with the boho theme of any amazing festival. For £12 you are getting yourself a summer staple and you can check it out HERE

Bright colours are always a welcome addition to my wardrobe to make me feel happy and bring some light into my life, this t-shirt would work with our denim shorts, a skirt, leggings or even over the maxi dress to create a whole new outfit. Again the lightweight material isn't going to be heavy and will keep you nice and cool in the sun. You can get this for £10 which i think for that price i would grab 2 lol, check it out HERE
And last but by no means least we need something to put on our feet. Everytime i have attended a festival i have lived and died in gladiator sandals, they are comfortable and so easy to throw on with everything,. These colourful animal print ones are my favourite style with a few buckles that add that extra detail to dress up your feet, they are a must have item at £12 and you can get your hands on them HERE

I hope this has helped any of you lucky festival goers this year with ideas for your own essentials and leave me a comment letting me know which bits you got hold of and what festival you are going to :-) xxxxxx

Smashbox Bronze Lights Suntan Matte

When it comes to bronzer i am pretty fussy, it has to be just the right bronze shade with not a lot of shimmer if any, I do tend to stick to a good bronzer when i find one i love and trust.


I'm not sure how i discovered this Smashbox bronzer but i am so glad i did as it has become a staple product in my makeup bag, i use the shade suntan matte and it is the perfect bronze shade with buildable colour so you don't have to worry about being tangoed! I have been using it for this for about 6 months now and i don't think i have even dented the surface.

If you love your bronzer as much as me and are looking for a good one for this summer i highly recommend this gem and if you are i fan i hear that this is Kim Kardashians favourite bronzer.

This retails at £23 which is a complete bargain for the amount you get and you can check it out HERE
