I have had another play around with some of my makeup, it was defiantly long overdue a good clear out. I actually enjoy having a good de-clutter of my makeup... when I am in the mood! I get to find items that I had forgot about or items that I have not used for a while. Plus a change to get rid of some that have been kept way too long!

I have still been loving Skinny Tan's tanning oil. that is what I have on here on my body. I have not used it on my face. I still love the overnight elixir when I feel that my face needs  a top up.

I have been loving  LOreal Paris 24HMatte Waterproof Foundation. This is a drugstore foundation that I keep on going back to and I love the finish. I have been setting my makeup with the bareMinerals BAREPRO Performance Wear powder. This has become one of my new favorites. It is a lovely coverage and certainly stays put! The highlight a blush are both from Pixi and I just love the glow!

My eye shadow is from the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette I have spoke about this before and I still love it! I am wearing some cluster eyelashes here, do wish that they were naturally this thick! My eyebrows, I have filled in with the Makeup Revolution brow pomade, still a big fan of this I have been switching between this and the Kat Von D eyebrow pencil

Lips is the Kylie Lip Kit in the shade Koko K. Think this is the first time I have spoke about this I have tried a few shades from the range. It does last well as a liquid lipstick, just not sure it is completely worth all the hype that surrounded it

Hope you have a great weekend!

I'm a bit late to try Skinny Tan, I'm not sure how it has taken me so long! My friend mentioned to me that there was an an offer on their website for their Tan and Tone, I think that they were changing their packing so are shifting the old style. This offer has now finished but there are other offers on their website such as this one:

https://www.skinnytan.co.uk/products/last-ever-tanuary-flash-sale-super-offer

I think that this makes it a really good deal!

I must admit that I was slightly skeptical when I first used it, because of the claims that it's 'almost impossible to streak,' however after a few times of use I am pleased to say that my tan has been even, and hasn't gone patchy at all. One of the main things I love about this product is the instant colour you get, which acts as a bit of a guide. The Skinny Tan mit is also lovely as it has an almost velvet texture to it which is so soft on the skin, plus it really blends the product in with ease. 

I did purchase the roller to from their website, I have seen these in the past and actually found the idea quite funny to be using a roller to get the tan on, it looks like a paint roller! But this is actually a really good idea! especially for my back, it makes it a lot easier. I have been playing around with different methods for me it works best to spray the oil onto the roller then blend it in, so far so good its done my back better than I could ever reach with a mitt. 

So I once again made a little trip to Primark, there wasn't actually anything in particular that I was looking for. I had been having a snoop on Instagram and watching several haul videos over on YouTube, and had seen some lovely items. Typically when I do this I can never find these gems in my local Primark let alone find my size!

this time however I was actually pleasantly  surprised. I managed to squeeze in a visit just before England played which meant that it was lovely and quiet so was actually a present shopping experience to!



The first item is this lovely wrap around dress I was instantly drawn to the colour, I think that I have seen a blue version on some other hauls but I think for me I preferred this one and its not normally a colour that I would choose. It is a wrap around style which is a really flattering cut, I think that I will need to wear a little cami top under this or a bra let as it is still rather look cut on me!

I also like that it is a good length, as I have said before I am only 5ft 1in so finding dresses that are of a flattering length can be a little bit of a challenge. For £10 I though that this was a really good buy. I'm hoping that the sunshine sticks around long enough for me to get some wear out of it now!

I almost walked passed this time, I was having a little look through the swimwear section as I am going on holiday to Gran Canaria next month. This was where I found this cover up, it was actually £5 reduced from £12 so for that price I thought I would give it a go. It will be perfect for around the pool or venturing to the restaurant lunch time!

I was again a little worried about the length, but I think that it will be fine. Its actually not a bad fit it will work fine especially with my wedged sandals.

These next couple of items are this top and shorts. I was drawn to the shorts as I loved the embroidered pattern on the sides I though that it really added something and made them look more expensive than Primark. These were however £12 and I am not sure if its just me and I am aware that that is gernally a good price for a pair of denim shorts, I feel that this may be a bit more expensive for Primark?

I loved the fact that these are high waisted as for some reason I don't own a pair of high waisted denim shorts which I know is crazy! The top I thought was a really lovely cut I love the floaty sleeves, and for £4 I thought thus was a bargain. Just need to remember a nude bra underneath it!

The next top I styled with the same shorts, its a polka dot pattern, which I really like but I love the strap detail I feel that it just makes it look that little bit different. It is rather baggy but I like the way it looks tucked in.

The final two clothing items are this mustard colored button down top and a white pair of skinny jeans. I love these two colours together. Again I brought the top a size larger as I think that it looks nicer a little bit baggier. It is a great top for the summer and I can see me using it for many outfits, this was only £4 to.

I do own a pair of skinny jeans they are my trusty Joni jeans from Topshop, I have loved wearing them but been white they have seen better days and they are actually starting to go a little bit bobbly in some areas so I thought I was time for another pair. I have got these Primark jeans in other colours before and I feel that they wear well so I am hoping that these will be the same. The only issue which is totally my fault is that I picked up a 34 inch leg! Yes what an idiot I was ready to take these back but I think that I actually like the look of the cuffed? So I might just keep these as they are. These were £9
