Getting ready for summer pt. 2

Here is a few more little tips and tricks you can try to get yourself ready for summer!

Clean your makeup brushes. I think the summer is a perfect time to have a good clean of all your brushes, and why not? Regularly cleaning your brushes means that they hold less bacteria which is better for your skin (stops you getting spots) and who wants a spotty summer?

Buy a new nail vanish. Reds and dark purples are great for winter but in summer I like to have something a bit lighter. Try a mint green or a pastel pink for a summery nail look! What I do is try the colour first from a cheaper brand (e.g. The Natural Collection) and if I like it and it suits me buy a more expensive one as a little summer treat!

Get some flesh- look tights. If you’re like me and hate having bare legs, even in the summer, these are a great alternative. They give the illusion that you’re wearing no tights whilst still covering up insecurities. They’re also great for covering up fake tan disasters…

Find your flip flops. Dig out last summer’s flip flops and give them a good clean. There’s no need to buy any more if they’re not falling apart so why spend the money? I know they’re only cheap but still, every little saving helps. I have had one pair that are now entering their fourth summer and are still going strong!

Get your hair cut. Especially if you’re going on holiday and you will be swimming a lot, there’s nothing worse than having to constantly wash really long hair. A new look can also be refreshing and you won’t look back on your holiday photos and think “What on Earth was happening to my hair!”

That’s all for today folks, see you soon xo

Getting ready for summer pt. 1

Hello everyone! We’re both really sorry for the lack of blogs lately but with it being the end of term we’re both so busy with school however, stay with us guys, there’s only 2 weeks left! With summer fast approaching I thought I would share with you what I do (beauty wise) during the summer:

Get my eyebrows threaded. I normally just pluck my own but when it’s summer I like them nice. Aso if I pluck my eyebrows while I have a tan I get pale spots where I have plucked- not a good luck!

Don’t wear foundation. I physically can’t stand it when my foundation is sweating off my face (sorry for too much information!) so in the summer I stick to a lighter tinted moisturiser. If I have been on holiday and got a tan I always buy it a shade darker, there’s nothing worse than a tanned body and a pale face!

Get eyelash extensions. I haven’t tried this before but I’m thinking of doing it this summer so I don’t have to wear mascara as it’s a bit of a pain, especially if I’m swimming.

Wear sun cream. I know this seems obvious but it really is important to protect your skin. Luckily, I still get a tan even though I’m wearing sun cream (it just takes longer) but if you don’t just apply a fake tan or gradual tanner.

That’s all for today girls, part 2 will be up tomorrow xo
