PINK!

Summer is fast approaching so queue sun kissed skin and bright colours!


The colour of the season is....PINK! It has been all over the SS13 catwalks from Giles bright pink lips to Donna Karen's hot pink eye shadow and pink mascara!

Pink is a versatile colour and suits any skin tone, so it's a great colour for everyone and it comes it so many different shades from baby pink to bright pink!




Saint German a very famous MAC lipstick, that is notoriously hard to pull off was used on the Ashish catwalk show!


Here is a few of my personal favourite MAC lipsticks:






1. Viva Glam GAGA 

This is a very 'barbie' pink, it's a baby pink colour with a slight blue undertone to it. The lustre formula makes it very creamy and shinny and so there is really no need for a lipgloss ontop of this. I think this is a really great colour especially if you have pale skin as it's not too harsh as say a bright pink would be.

A very baby baby pink!                 
^^ I also forgot to take a photo wearing this colour....opps!! 
2. Bombshell 

This colour is very wear able in the day time as it's not a very harsh pink, it's very muted  The frost formula makes it quite light and also it has lots of gold shimmery pigment running through this colour - so it looks lovely when the sun catches again omitting the need for a shimmery lipgloss. 
As you can see it's a mutted pink .
3. Speed Dial 

This colour is actually one of the first I got from MAC (which is why it's so blunt!) It is kind of simular to Bombshell because it has a very very slight shimmery gold pigment running through it, although no where near as much as Bombshell does. It is a slightly muted hot pink colour. The cremesheen formula makes it very moisturizing on the lips and it doesn't dry them out. The MAC Pink Carat lip glass looks beautiful on top of this. I would also say that this is 
Only just darker than Bombshell. 



















4. Viva Glam Nicki 

I brought this one only recently. This is a very very true 'barbie' colour as well....think Nicki Minaj and well this is the exact colour you'd have (which makes sense since she made it!) This isn't for the brave hearted and it probably wouldn't work well if you're super pale (although that's no reason to not wear it) because it is very bright - bordering on almost fluorescent! The colour is a bright pink with a hint of coral in it, so it's a beautiful colour for summer. This is a Satin formula although personally I'd say it's very matte in texture, it is also slightly drying on the lips too.


You can see the coral in it with the sun shining!

Bath Routine

 Most of us girls love a good bath right? And I've recently been using the same products every time - they're sort of staples in my beauty regime now.

1.I always use a tonne of bubble bath I love bubbles! And at the moment my favourite is Strawberry Sundae from the pink cow it smells just like strawberries and its from boots.

2. I love the LUSH Soaps I actually got this one free when I went to Lush and brought a few bathbombs. It's called lust and it smells beautiful!

3. After that I'll exfoliate I don't do this everytime but maybe once a a week. Exfoliating just helps to get rid of any dry/dead skin. I love the flake away scrub from Soap and Glory it works really well and smells just like all the other soap and glory products.

3. I'll then apply Body Polish from the Body Shop and oh my gosh! it makes your skin feel like silk!! it also has a bit of exfoliating beads in it and it smells exactly like strawberries!!!

4. When I get out of the bath I'll apply Heel Genius by Soap and Glory, it really adds moisture and keeps your feet nice and silky smooth, however it doesn't smell like the other Soap and Glory products it has more of a pepperminty smell.

5. I'll then apply Body Shop Body Butter all over it smells again just like strawberries the smell also lingers too and a little bit of it goes a long way the down side is that it takes a while to soak into the skin and so your skin is left a bit sticky.

But after all this you'll feel very clean and your skin will be just like silk!
and don't forget to light candles it makes it extra relaxing!!
