Three Summer Nail Varnishes! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

I'm really sorry I haven't been blogging recently, but I am trying to catch up now so that you are all satisfied!! Today I am going to be talking to you about three Summer Nail Varnishes I have been loving this Summer and they are all from the brand Rimmel! 

From left to right we have '842 Too Cool To Tango', '300 Pop Your Pink' and '403 Oragasm'. 

First, I am going to be talking to you about '842 Too Cool To Tango'. This is a baby Blue colour, but it is a very bright baby Blue colour! It's very shiny and I've been wearing it the most out of all 3! It's got great chipping quality and looks good with tanned hands! 

Next, I am going to talk about '300 Pop Your Pink'. This is a very, very bright Pink colour and looks amazing with tanned Hands! However, whilst being quite bright it also is a little bit Matte and just be careful it doesn't stain your Nails...do a top coat! Otherwise, it's really beautiful and looks great with some 'Confetti' over the top! This also has good chipping qualities. 

Finally, I am going to be talking about the third and final Nail Varnish of the day and this is '403 Oragasm'. This is yet again, another bright colour, but this time a bright Orange! I have no other Oranges like this, mine are more Coral toned so I was super happy to receive this! I think this colour looks best on your toes! It finishes with a high-shine and good chipping qualities. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. I have 2 posts coming very soon after this one, to make up for the ones I missed!

Summer Staples! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today I am going to be talking to you about my top Summer staples for Summer 2014, so if you want to know what you need to have a great Summer, keep reading!

To start with, smelling nice this Summer is an absolute must have! I have picked out my favourite, girly, Summery scent and this is the 'Mist You Madly' from Soap and Glory. I love Soap and Glory and this is no exception. It smells so sweet and floral and has great staying power, in my opinion! 

Next is Hair! Everyone seems to hate their Hair in the Summer, as it gets greasy more often and it's hard to style with all the humidity and if you have long Hair like me, you will definitely hate it laying on your Neck. I have come up with a solution though! First of all, to get rid of that grease and to make sure you're not washing your Hair every day, buy a bottle of Batiste Dry Shampoo, it's really good (not to keen on the scent) but it also comes in travel size, so great if you're going away this Summer. After you've freshened it up, just sling it up in a Bun (boring I know) but buy a Floral Crown (I got mine from New Look) and just tie it round (like I did in THIS post). Easy peasy!  

Ahh, bright Nail colours! I know some people find bright Nails a bit daring, I say just go for it! Who cares what other people think, if you like it?! I have chosen these two from the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine collection. The Pink one is '317 Grapefruit' and the Mint Green one is '317 Greenberry'. They shine so well, so look even better when the Sun hits them. They have great chipping quality and are very cheap too! GO FOR BRIGHT NAILS THIS SUMMER! 

No one wants to wear Make-Up in the Summer, as it normally just ends up slipping off and down your face by the end of the day. However, these are the 3 products I recommend the most. If you don't want to wear Foundation, just use a little bit of concealer as it's minimal make up. I think the best one for this summer is Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer, it's very light! Then, to stop your concealer moving, but to also keep your face shine-free and matte, use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (review HERE), which will also disguise the fact that you are sweaty and sticky...yay! Finally, to brighten up your Face and give you a Summer glow, apply a bit of the Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in 'Lust' to your Cheeks, a bit more of an expensive option, but totally worth it! You can find this one at Outlet Markets/Villages, as that's where I purchased this one from, featured in THIS post.   

To match your bright Nail Varnish, go for a pair of Bright Earrings. I picked these Bright Pink Flower Earrings up from River Island for just £2! Bargain! They will help to brighten up your Face and they just scream SUMMER to me! I loves them! 

With the heat in the Summer months, looking after your Skin is key! Here are some of my best choices. If you don't mind wasting a bit of time to moisturise your Body go for the Soap and Glory 'Butter Yourself' Moisturiser, this smells lovely and moisturises really well, but just takes a bit longer. If you want to moisturise your body, but also get rid of dry heels and get your feet looking good for Flip Flops, use this 2-1 Body Butter product from The Body Shop. If you want to do your moisturisation quickly, use this spray-on moisturiser from Soap and Glory called 'Spray On Body Moisturising Mist', it dries quicker and smells amazing whilst being super moisturising! Finally, we can't forget exfoliation, my recommendation for this is Soap and Glory 'Scrub of your life', it's not too harsh on your Skin, but removes all the dead/dry Skin well! It smells great and the exfoliation particles are really lovely. Also, if you are fake tanning, all these products will be great for prepping your Skin!

Next, I have a pair of Flip Flops, which everyone needs in their Wardrobe for Summer. This Mint Green Pair is from Dorothy Perkins and I dedicated a whole Post to them HERE. They are beautiful, comfy and only £10. (You can buy them HERE). 

Another bright product is a 'Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon' in '04 Peach On The Beach', this is very bright and looks great on your Lips for this Summer. It has great staying power and is also super moisturising! It's priced at £7.99, which is a little more expensive than say the Maybelline Baby Lips, but totally worth it! I have reviewed the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons HERE and talked about this particular one HERE and HERE. 

Whilst on the subject of Lip Products, having an SPF Lip Balm is more important, than a bright one. It's really painful to get burnt Lips (trust me!) and this one will help to prevent that as it's SPF 30, which is quite high! Although, it gives you white Lips, it still smells quite nice and is moisturising. This from 'Nivea' and I so recommend buying this more than any of the other products, previously mentioned because protecting your Lips from the Sun is so important!

Finally, a Sun Cream! I don't need to tell you how important it is to wear Sun Cream, but it really is! Protecting your Skin from the Sun is probably the only thing you should be worrying about this Summer. This 'Hawaiian Tropic' Sun Cream, is really lovely and great if you have Sensitive Skin, like me! Please buy a Sun cream this Summer with a high SPF!!!!

Thanks for reading this (quite long) Post, I really hope you enjoyed this Post and found it somewhat useful and fun to read!

Three Summer Lip Products! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

As promised, here is my second Blog Post of the evening! Today, I am going to be showing you three Summer Lip Products that I am currently loving! P.S- Summer Look Book coming your way very soon! Hold on tight ;)

Left to right: Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Strike A Rose', 'Bourjois Colour Boost in '04 Peach On The Beach' and Clinique Chubby Stick in '06 Woppin' Watermelon'. 

Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Strike A Rose': Maybelline have launched 4 new Baby Lips and this is one of them. Different from the last ones, they now come with Black packaging, instead of the colourful packaging. However, I love this colour, it is quite a dark Coral colour and looks really beautiful on the Lips. It's moisturising and the staying power is quite good! This is £2.99!

Bourjois Colour Boost in '04 Peach On The Beach': I love the Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayons and this is no exception! It's a beautiful Peach colour, which is quite bright at the same time! It has amazing staying power and is also super moisturising! This one is a little more expensive, priced currently at £5.99 otherwise £7.99. 

Clinique Chubby Stick in '06 Woppin' Watermelon': This is a miniature version, you may have noticed, but I got it off of a 'Company' Magazine I think! However, I love the colour, it's the perfect Summer Pink, with a hint of a Purple colour, but you do have to build it up quite a lot! Also, the staying power could be better, but aside from that it's moisturising and lovely! 

Order of Staying Power: Bourjois Colour Boost in '04 Peach On The Beach', Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Strike A Rose' and Clinique Chubby Stick in '06 Woppin' Watermelon'.

So that is my three favourite Summer Lip Products! I hope you enjoyed this Post and thanks for reading!

The Mint Flip Flop! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

I'm sorry for no posts recently but I am going to try and catch up now!! Today I am going to be talking to you about a wonderful new Shoe that I've recently purchased. 

(Excuse my Feet) Everyone knows my love for Mint Green, so when I came across these £9, Mint Green Flip Flops from Dorothy Perkins, they instantly made their way into my Shopping basket. They are the perfect Flip Flop. They are very cheap, yet they look really expensive. They are very classy and sophisticated with their brown base and Mint Green strip of colour. They are very comfortable and they don't rub at all in between your toes! 

Here I have shown you a way to style your Flip Flops. I think these are the perfect Holiday Flip Flops, which are great to wear for meals out in the evening. For me, I would not take these down to the Beach as I would just not want them to get ruined! I've paired them with a Mint Green Crop Top from Topshop and a Denim Skater Skirt also from Topshop, which helps break up the Mint Green overload. They would also look great with a White or Mint Green dress! Just try experimenting! You can buy them HERE.

If Mint Green's not for you, I believe they also do them in other colours. Who knew one person could have so much love for a Flip Flop? 

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

A Summer Bun! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today I am going to be showing you a really cute Bun that I've been wearing over the weekend! 

As you can see, it is just an ordinary Bun. However, there's a twist! I've put a Mint Green Flower Crown around it, which is from New Look! 

I've been doing this a lot recently, because I like how it makes a boring Hairstyle interesting! It also helps to hold the Bun in place, whilst covering up any pesky Kirby Grips/Bobbi Pins. 

I've been loving putting my Hair in a Bun recently because of the Hot Weather, so it's nice just to get my Hair out of my Face and Neck. A massive tip if you have long Hair like me! 

Finally, this Hairstyle would look super cute at a Festival, so if you're going to any Festivals this Summer, why not try out this look?

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this quick post!

Fun In The Sun: Summer TAG! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

I was a bit stuck for ideas of what to post today, so I googled 'fun Summer TAGS' and I really liked the sound of this TAG, so I am going to be doing the 'Summer TAG' and I TAG you all! 

Questions: 

1. What is the best part of the summer time?

I love lots of things about the Summer time, but some of my main ones are lighter evenings, beaches, Ice Creams, cool Drinks and Holidays! Of course I also like the heat! 

2. Do you tan or burn?

Ummm, I do burn if I'm not wearing Sun Cream, but I don't burn that easily. However, I will tan if I'm in the Sun long enough too! 

3. Favourite summer nail polish? 

I couldn't possibly choose. It's between my Barry M Gelly Hi Shine 'Grapefruit' and Models Own 'Bubblegum'. Both lovely, vibrant Summer colours! 

4. Favourite summer drink/beverage?

I just like a good, big class of Orange Juice with ice cubes and a straw! 

5. Favourite summer clothing item? 

I love my Topshop White and Purple striped shorts, they are a few years old, but I still love them! 

 6. Favourite current phone app during this summer? 

I'm currently loving Time Hop, which is basically an App where you sign it up to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, e.t.c and you can see what you were doing on that day 1, 2, 3, 4, years ago! I think it will be nice to look back over what I got up to in the Summer! 

7. Favourite summer movie? 

Ahh, I don't really have one! I watched 'The Fault In Our Stars' recently and absolutely loved it, so I'm going to say that was my favourite one for this year! 

8. Favourite summer beauty product?

I'm absolutely loving my Mac Mineralized Skin Finish in 'Lust' at the moment. I love the colour it brings to my Cheeks and the shimmer...very Summery! 

9. Favourite summer activity?

Definitely going on Holiday! Holidays are always fun! 

10. Favourite type of lip product for the summer time? 

I'm currently loving the Maybelline Baby Lips in 'Pink Punch', I know it's old now, but I love how pretty the Pink is and it's perfect for Summer and seeing as I brought it at the end of Summer last year, I'm getting my wear of it this year! It's also super moisturising, so that will be good for the Sun! 

So that is the TAG! I really enjoyed it and I hope you did too! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Statement Necklace! | Believe In Beauty

Hey!:)

Today I am going to be showing you my favourite Statement Necklace! Statement Necklaces are really in at the moment and seeing as Summer is here, I thought I would show you the perfect example of one for Summer. I love wearing this and wear it quite frequently, it makes a boring outfit exciting! 

So this is my Statement Necklace! It's gorgeous wouldn't you agree? It's from Next and it was £10, which is so good! As you can see, it has 5 main parts to it, I like to call them 'Flowers' but I'm not really sure what they are! However, the Pastel Pink and Blue colours really pop out and I love how shiny it is! I normally wear this with a White top, as I think this is the best colour that it contrasts with! You can buy the Necklace HERE. 

So that is my Statement Necklace! I really hope you like it as much as I do and it has inspired you to go out and buy one for the Summer months, as they are so pretty! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!
