Spring/summer fashion

Ok so I know that this post may be a bit late but, I've only just started to see the sun, so in my eyes spring has only just begun. For spring and summer the trends that are obvious are pastel colours, neon, block colour, metallic etc.

I absolutely LOVE the pastel trend, with my favourite pastel colour being mint green. I have bought a few things in pastel colours recently and I am loving them. I think they are really girly colours, really on trend and really flattering. I also like to hint at this trend with nail colours, which looks really nice too.

I haven't worn neon since I was sixteen and thought I was a raver, so this trend is a bit of a miss with me. However, I think the odd thing looks really nice ie. a neon pink belt or neon nails, if worn with quite neutral clothes. Not being thin puts my off this as well as I think worn fully on top or fully on the bottom would make me look bigger, in my personal opinion.

Metallic clothes are something that I love on other people, but not on me. I love a pair of metallic shorts and a cool T-shirt with big jewellery, which looks really funky and fashionable.

Block colours are exactly what it says on the tin, and I personally love to wear a bit of colour with my outfit. I think it's great that we have been dragged out of our dark, miserable clothes for the dark, miserable weather and into things bright and beautiful.

So what do you think of the latest fashion, and what having you been wearing recently?

Brown eye-liner

Ok so I, like many of you, have a black liquid eyeliner in my make-up bag at all times. So I decided I needed something lighter and more subtle on my eyes for the spring/summer seasons. In Select, they have a make-up stand which sells products from Beauty UK. and I noticed a pearl eyeliner in 'rich mahogany' shade 5. They were on sale for only 1.50 so I thought I would give it a go.

I found that this eye-liner was really easy to apply and glided along my eyelash line really effectively. I think this eye-liner has a softer, more pretty look than a black liner. The pearl, shimmery look of the liner also makes it more spring/summery.

Have you tried any other make-up from this range? What do you think of the brand?

Sky blue nails

This is the MUA nail varnish in shade 9 (they don't have a name for their colours but it's the sky blue one). I firstly put one coat of the clear nail varnish (shade 1) and then two coats of the sky blue colour. I then put a final coat of the clear polish on. I absolutely love this colour and it lasted for a few days without chipping AND it was only 2 pounds for both!! Amazingly cheap and deffo a great colour for the spring/summer (if it ever gets here).

What do you think of this colour? What nail colours have you been wearing recently?

The best and worst drug store make up (Superdrug and Boots)

WORST

THIS! is the 2true cover 'n' conceal from superdrug. I think that this is superdrug's own brand (correct me if I'm wrong) and I hate it. It's one of those concealers that clogs up under your eyes and gets into lines and doesn't blend properly. This is the second time I have had a bad experience with 2true. I once bought a liquid eyeliner and after 1-2 hours of being applied, the line would start to crack and crumble and would have to be constantly reapplied. I don't know if it's just me, but I wouldn't buy anything from this brand again.

BEST

I absolutely love this foundation which is dream matte mousse in the shade cameo. It applies really well to my face and stays there most of the day. I love mousse foundations at the moment as I just find them so easy to apply and find that they go onto my skin really well, as well as not being too 'caked on' in the warmer weather.





 This is Maybelline moisture extreme with SPF15 in the shade orchid frost. I absolutely love this lipstick. I use it most days and I just think it gives my lips a really shimmery, spring look. Recently, I've started to wear less make up on my eyes and made a effort to wear more lip colours as I never used to and this has to be my favourite.



This is by far my favourite powder at the moment. I don't tend to use much powder in the spring/summer as I think it's nice for your skin to look 'dewy' in those months. However, if my skin is looking shiny I always use this. It is the collection 2000 pressed powder in translucent and I love it.

This is a collection 2000 mascara called super size fat lash mascara and, of course, it's in black. I naturally have quite long eyelashes anyway and I think this mascara works well at opening up my eyes without having to use layer after layer to build it up like most. I would definitely recommend this mascara if you want to open up your eyes without the mascara clumping or flaking off.




There you go. My best and worst. Thank you for reading and if you have any questions comment below.
