May Favourites

Heyyyy guys, so today I woke up and I decided I would try and sort out some of the junk in my bedroom.... my god there was soooo much stuff it took me forever but while I was sorting it out I decided I would put up a 'may favourites' post so here it is....

the first product on my list is a perfume from Yves Saint Laurent and is a summery limited edition of their perfume Elle. I was looking around for a new summer perfume for 2010 and thier bottle caught my eye on debenhams website so I clicked on it to read the description it said: ' A fresh solar interpretation of elle eau de toilette. an artistic explosion of colours and light, in the mood of a modern aquarelle.' which made me very interested and went into town a few days later to smell it and ended up coming out of debenhams the proud owner of this perfume. It's a nice sweet smell but not too over powering, It's a mix of summer fruits and a flower which I can't quite put my finger on. This scent reminds me of summer especailly the bottle too as it screams summer and heres a picture to show you just how fabulous it looks---->


The second product on my list is you rebel lite tinted moisturizer by benefit I've already wrote a review on it so if you want to read it find the post. :)


the third product I've had for longer than a month but this last week has been soooo busy I've had to use it multiple times and it is the dry hair shampoo by a brand called batiste and I have it in the smell/flavour tropical (it's the best I think) there is also original, boho, diva and blush to choose from too. This product I have found vey handy because this week I've been so busy that I havn't been washing my hair as often as I normally do because I honestly havn't had time so I just spray it on in the morning into my roots and comb it through my hair. It basically acts like a talcom powder and covers up the horrible greasy type feeling in your hair and makes it look more healthy. This is perfect for holidays and on the go.



The last product on my list is dove summer glow beauty body lotion. This is the perfect product for a build up tan and it won't streak. I use this on my legs as its the only part of my body that won't tan but this product is perfect for all over really. I use the fair to medium one as I have fair skin there is also a medium to dark one available.

Shopping!!!!

Heyyyy guys it's been boiling here again today have had the after-sun constantly sat on my table.

I went shopping today....

and bought a new maxi dress, I didn't know how this would look on me as I'm really short but it actually looks good and makes me look wayyyy taller.



this caught my eye it was really bright compared to all the other dresses in the shop and decided to try it on it did fit I think it needs to be turned up at the bottom though as it's too long with flat shoes. I am wondering when I'm going to actually wear this and what with at the moment I'm thinkin my wedges and a simple light coloured bag which I am yet to buy. tell me your veiws on what you think of maxi dresses and where you think is appropriate to where them. this dress is available in Republic for £26.99.

anyway onto my little stash of mac I bought today....

I went in not really knowing what colours
I wanted and came out with amber lights - a very shimmery gold, all that glitters - a pale pink, sketch - a very dark purpley brownish colour and tempting a natural brown with hints of gold.
I bought these eyeshadows in refill pans as I have palette already for me to just put them into and add to my collection, they are basically the same as the potted eyeshadows except without the black casing and has a magnet underneath to stick it to the palette the only big difference really is that the depotted refils are £9 two pounds cheaper than the potted eye shadows.

thanks for reading have a great weekend everyone!

You Rebel Lite

Heyyyy guys, so today it was really hot and sunny in Britain so I went to the beach and had a really good time, I mainly sunbathed and other times I was in the sea trying to dodge the huge waves. BUT .... when I got home unpacked then jumped in the shower I discovered some majorly bad tan lines and bright burnt, red shoulders soooo gonna have to get something done about that.

but getting to talk about my main object of the post today I present to you....

YOU REBEL (lite)



You Rebel lite the tinted moisturizer from Benefit

Now benefit usually has completely fun and eyecatching packaging which is part of the reason why I like them so much but this product has quite dull packaging for benefit even though I do have to say I love this product. Having dry skin with this added moisturizer in foundation it keeps my skin looking healthy, dewy and awake rather than completely dry and tired out. I also like the fact that it is a constant colour but changes and adapts to the colour of your skin so if your skin gets more tanned throughout the summer the tinted moisturizer will still look excellent and colour matched. I was thinking before I bought this product about the type of coverage it would give me but I was pleasantly surprised as it evens out the skin tone etc but does not cover over spots so you will when using this product need to cover over spots with a seperate concealer. I find its really easy to run into the skin as it doesnt dry quickly so you can take as long as you want. the tube is very easy to use it has a screw on lid and then you just squeeze the tube and the stuff starts coming out. I use my hands to rub this in as its too oily to use with a foundation brush. This I find stays on for around about 8 hours and you only need about half a pea sized amount. I use this everyday of the week incase you were wondering. For a tinted moisturizer I guess its not to bad a price as it is £21.50 but comes in a 50ml tube. There is also another you rebel which is the original and in a red tube although it comes out way too orange to be normal. Would defiantely repurchase this as its perfect for summer months when heavy foundation sweats off.

WARNING - this product does contain Oxybenzone which is a chemical that causes problems with skin and is found in some sunscreens, Its found in this product as its contains spf 15. If you are wondering what problems it causes I would recommend you google it although I have to say I have had no problems and have been using this for 2 weeks.

hope you've all been having a good week, off to paint my nails
byeeee guys xxxx <3
