Bodycare Highlighter

This is the highlighter I use on a daily basis. I've had it for a while so can't remember the exact price but it was definitely under £3. Such a bargain and it has quickly become part of my daily routine.

Which highlighter do you use?

My Pamper Essentials

We all need and deserve a good pamper session every now and again and so these are the products I would typically use for a little me time.

The first thing I like to do is get everything off of my face and clean it. To take my make up off I'll use either these Simple make up wipes if I have them (I know a lot of people don't like make up wipes but they're so quick!) If I don't have any make up wipes I'd probably use Anne French Milk Cleanser  which is really good but oh my, do not get that in your eye, it hurts.

So when my make up is off, I'll do a quick Hot Cloth Cleanse using the Superdrug version. I don't know how much difference the type of cloth makes but I change all the time because I can never find a muslin cloth. I've used a flannel and a Kleenex make up tissue before, perhaps not as effective but what's a girl to do? After my face is feeling clean, I'll whack on a face mask - any kind, any brand, absolutely zero loyalty there.

I'll also moisturise. Currently, I have the Soap & Glory Daily Smooth Body Butter which smells lovely and of course the packaging! I'll also moisturise my hands with Neutrogena hand cream - this I do actually swear by, it's amazing! Finally I'll paint my nails and relax for a little bit.

What are your pampering essentials?

Favourite Spring Nail Colours

 Standard Barry M Polishes: £2.99 | Miss Sporty Polishes: £1.99

Another Spring themed post today as I chose my six favourite nail colours for this time of year.  I think pastel colours are very traditional and I definitely don't think that's a bad thing. The Barry M Berry Ice Cream, Barry M Peach Melba and Barry M Mint green are all such beautifully soft pastel colours. They'll be perfect with dainty summer day dresses, drink in hand.

However, I also included some much brighter colours because sometimes you want a little bit of a brighter colour but still getting the spring/summer look. I chose Barry M Coral (are we sensing a theme here?) and then two polishes from the Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours range. I tried to look up their individual colour names but they don't seem to have them. The orange isn't something I would normally go for and to be honest, I've only worn it a handful of time but I've seen quite a lot of orange around lately and it's growing on me. Then finally a glossy neon pink(which didn't photograph too well), need I say more?

Are there any colours you'll be bringing out this spring/summer?

Outfit: Nude & Black

It's still a little cold outside but the sun is actually shining and the few clouds are white and fluffy instead of grey. Taking all this into consideration, I think it's time to start creating spring/summer outfits - and have them being weather appropriate. 

I try to keep outfits like this quite affordable because I  don't have the money to spend too much and I'm sure there are other people who feel the same way. Plus it's always nice to find a bargain.

1. Dress - Internacionale - £12.99 

2. Necklace - Forever 21 - £5.65

3. Bag - H&M - £14.99

4. Socks - Topshop - £3.50

5. Boots - Missguided - £26.99

Co-Ordinates: Topshop and Primark

While it looks as though Spring is tentatively, but finally, coming our way it seems appropriate to get excited about the spring/summer trends for this year. One of my absolute favourites is co-ordinates. 

As I'm sure everyone has noticed, the crop top has made a come back. I've not jumped on the bandwagon yet because I'm not sure I'm confident enough to pull it off, but maybe with the assistance of a super high waisted pair of shorts, it could work. 

These Topshop co-ords are just so pretty and amazing. However, a little out of my price range. However, Victoria from Victoria's Vintage posted about Primarks Summer collection and it featured some of the cutest co-ords, so I might have to head that way.

Primark, Summer 2013.
