Summer Beauty Essentials♡

Hello everybody! Today I am going to go through my Summer beauty essentials with you as I've had a lot of requests! I'm going to be covering Makeup,Hair and body products with you today. Hope you enjoy♡

I'm firstly going to talk through some of my favourite makeup items for the Summer. I think the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay is the most perfect eye shadow palette for Summer as it has some gorgeous light shades. I would highly reccomend this to everyone as it ranges from light to dark shades. This is a little pricey but it's honestly worth it in the end.

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette= £37.00

I've picked out my two favourite nail plosives for the Summer which are two Essie Nail polishes in Mint Candy apple(right) and Cute as a button(left). I think that mint candy apple is the most gorgeous pastel colour perfect for Summer!! I then picked out Cute as a button as Coral is my favourite colour in the summer. Coral colours scream out summer and look gorgeous with a tan as well.

Essie nail polishes= £7.99 each

BB creams are my best friend in the summer as they give light coverage and moisture your skin at the same time. I have absoutely been loving the All in one BB cream by the Body Shop recently. This BB cream is amazing as it adapts to your skin tone! It comes out as a white cream and as you blend it in to your face it dispappears and makes your skin look so healthy and glowing. I would say this gives light to medium coverage as you can build it up.

The Body Shop BB cream=£12.00

One of my all time favourite blushes for the summer is Benefits Coralista. Hence the name it is a coral blush with a slight peachy tone to it. I'm always so impressed with the Benefit Blushes as they are all so pigmented especially Coralista. On the right I have my favourite bronzer at the moment which is the Bourjois Bronzing powder. I love how it gives a gorgeous sun kissed look to your face without making it look orange and cakey.

Coralista Blusher by Benefit=£24.00

Bourjois Bronzing Powder=£9.99

I couldn't finish off the makeup section without saying something about lipsticks!!

I've been loving these two lip combos at the moment which is the YSL Rouge Voluptè lipstick in Jealous Coral which is obviously a gorgeous pinky coral colour and the Revlon Super Lustrious lipgloss in Kiss me Coral. These two lip products compliment each other so nicely as well.

YSL Rouge Voluptè Lipstick=£30.00

Revlon Super Lustrious Lipgloss=£7.99

Now I'm going to go on to body products that I love in the Summer. The Body Shop body butters are my favourite body butters in the world as they have some gorgeous scents and they moisture your body nicely without making your skin sticky. I especially love the Coconut body butter in the summer♡ If your wanting a tan maximiser to enhance and prolong your tan I would reccomend the Lancaster Tan Maximiser as it really does enhance your tan without making you look orange. 

Now on to hair! One of my favourite things for my hair in the Summer is a Sea Salt spray as it creates beachy texturised waves. I absoutely love the Toni&Guy Casual Sea Salt spray as it doesn't make your hair crunchy at all! I will definately be bringing this to the beach when I'm on holiday!

Lastly I have a shampoo and conditioner which I'm obsessed with at the moment. The John Frieda Sheer Blonde shampoo and conditioner is amazing as it really enhances your natural blonde streaks which I have from the sun.

Hope you have enjoyed this quick blogpost on my Summer Beauty Essentials. If you have any ideas on what I should next just message me on Instagram - anna.camilla

Skincare Routine♡

Hello everyone! So sorry that I haven't been posting regularly I've been busy every weekend which meant that I had no time to do a blogpost. Finally I have a free weekend to do some blogposts for you. I thought it was time for me to do an updated skincare routine. Let's get started!♡

First of all I start off with a cleanser/makeup remover. My number one cleanser is Bioderma Sensibio H2O. I can't say anything bad about this product! It really helps soothe my skin on a night time and hydrate my skin on a morning. I sweep this all over my face with an exfoliating cotton pad.

I alternate face washes all the time but the one I've been using non stop recently is the Origins Frothy Face wash. This face wash is life changing!! Firstly you apply a small amount to the palm of your hand and add some warm water to lather. Then apply it to your skin and it will become frothy/milky. I've seen some great difference in my skin recently when I've used this face wash so I would highly reccomend this to everyone. 

I don't use face masks everyday but I would use this if my skin was feeling dry or if I just wanted to just pamper my skin.

This is the Body Shops Seaweed Ionic clay mask. This is honestly the best facial mask I've ever tried as it really purifies and cleanses my skin. I was a bit worried at first as my skin is very sensitive but it didn't irritate my skin at all. 

This was actually in my last skincare routine but I literally can't get enough of it. I won't ramble to much about this moisturiser as I did mention it in my last skincare blogpost. I've been using the Origins Ginzing moisturiser for the longest time now as it helps with the discolouration on my face. The smell of this moisturiser is absoutely gorgeous so that also made me buy it.♡

Next I like to apply an eye lotion as I feel it helps brighten my eye area. I've been using the Liz Earle Soothing Eye Lotion for a long time now and it helps so much. It contains some natural brightening ingredients such as organic Aloe Vera, Cornflower and Witch Hazel. I apply the lotion to 2 cotton pads and apply them both on my eyelids and let them soak for around 5-10 minutes. Usually on a regular basis I just wipe the lotion around my eyes and I'm good to go. 

I don't use this Clinique anti-blemish solution on a regular basis as it was very expensive. This product is absoutely AMAZING. It clears blemishes so fast and it's quite unbelievable! After washing your face,moisturing etc you just apply this with your fingers to any blemishes or spots and the next day they'll be gone trust me!♡

I only apply the Neal's Yard White Tea facial mist on a night time as it helps soothe my skin throughout the night. If I apply this mist on a morning it makes my skin very oily throughout the day so I don't reccomend doing that. Overall this product is really lovely.

Finally I apply a lipbalm my favourite at the moment is Maybelline's Baby Lips in Mango Pie. The smell of this Lipbalm is heavenly! These lipbalms are super moisturing and smell gorgeous.♡

I hope you've enjoyed this blogpost on my skincare routine. Remember if you have any ideas on future blogposts just direct message me on Instagram @anna.camilla

Lots of love
