Top Ten Tag!

Copy and Paste everything in Bold

This Tag was made by Jessica Vannan at Pretty Chit Chat 

I was tagged by Taylor at Another Fashion Fanatic - She's awesome and her blog is even better!

I would like to nominate Samantha at Small & Blonde and, of course, anyone that would like to do this!

 

 1. Foundation

I definitely have to go with either Lancome's Teint Visionnaire or L'Oreal's Nude Magique Eau de Teint

2. Powder

Personally, I've never used powder before.
But I know that my best friend's favourite is Rimmel London's Clear Complexion Transparent Powder

3. Concealer

It has to be Rimmel London's Wake Me Up concealer
 

4. Blush

On a day to day basis, I rarely use blusher as I only really wear it over foundation and I only wear foundation when my skin is particularly bad or on occasional weekends. So, I've never really gone out of my way to find the 'perfect' blusher.
I actually use one from Natural Collection in Rosey Glow. It's relatively cheap and I find that it works like a treat. For me, it's the best colour!

 

5. Bronzer

I haven't used many bronzer's in the past, but from what I have; Jelly Pong Pong's Caribbean Sun (bronzer duo - with blush) is my fave

6. Highlighter

Being totally honest, I have never used highlighter!
So, I can't really recommend any or tell you my favourite

7. Mascara

I like to mix and match my mascara's, so picking one is almost impossible for me. I use mainly Rimmel London mascaras; such as glam'eyes day2night and the scandal eyes collection. However, I've found that Soap & Glory's Thick & Fast mascara is excellent

8. Eye Shadow

It's got to be Urban Decay's NAKED 2 palette, hands down!

9. Brows

 

Like I have never used powder or highlighter, I have also never used anything on my brows either. The only thing I have done to them is pluck them!

I know - I'm a pathetic excuse for a girl, haha

I love make-up, but I only use what I need

10. Lip Product

Definitely MAC.
Any MAC lipstick and you're sorted

So, despite having not used all of the products, there is my top ten list.
I apologise for the lack of pictures... I haven't had much spare time recently :\
I hope you enjoyed this list and if you have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them, just pop them in the comment section below!

My Summer Wish List

A fellow blogger, Jadiee, used a popular trend that's going around and turned it into a tag. She tagged me and so here I am, typing away!

How it works, as I assume, is that you think of five things that you wish to do or achieve this summer and then you list them.
Pretty simple really.

So, here goes...

My five wishes for this is summer are:

1. To get a tan
For the previous couple of years I haven't been able to get a good tan as I've visited places that are very hot and humid and I cannot stand the heat. Despite wishing that I actually loved the heat, like my mother, I physically can't hack it.
Every single year my mum comes home looking as brown as ever and I am just the same old pale milk bottle! I guess last year I did tan a bit more than usual so I was happy with that. But, this year I'm aiming for a full on tan that I'm proud of! haha

2. To tone up
As a teenager, school is time consuming and then your free time is taken up by socialising and relaxing. So, exercise doesn't always take priority. Unless you're an athlete of course.
 I do try to maintain my fitness, however I'm aiming to get toned this summer. As well as hopefully shedding a few pounds!

3. To treat my family so they know how much I really appreciate them
My parents do everything for me and I really want to do something special for them this summer. Even if it's just something simple, like going on a walk and buying them an ice-cream. I know they're willing to do everything that they do do for me, but sometimes I'm spoilt far too much and I don't feel like I do that much in return.
Also, I have two grandparents who, over the years, have spent valuable time and money on me. All of which I hold amazing memories from and appreciate so much. This summer I want to do something for each of them to show them how much I still love to spend time with them although they can't do as much as they used to.

4. To pass my driving test!
After recently passing my (driving) theory test, I'm beginning to think about my practical now.
Having started learning at the end of Decemeber, I've set a target for myself to pass before my birthday (which is in Novemeber) so if I can get it done by September that would be brilliant.

5. To enjoy some new adventures with my friends
Throughout my teen years I've been super fortunate. I've visited so many different cities across England with my friends and we've done a range of things, mostly shopping!
But I'd love to do something new; something different that we will all enjoy and remember the amazing memories we make. Especially as we will be leaving each other and heading off to university soon.


All of these wishes are very personal to me.
(They're definitely not in priority order either!)
As I grow older and get that one step closer to finally moving out, I want to make the most of the time I've got left at home. These years are ones I'll remember for a long time so I want to be able to reminisce on great times, not just the same old.

I'd love to see what your wishes for this summer are.

I tag everyone reading to complete this list.
And if you do, make sure to comment with your link so I can check them out:)

Wish List: Clothes - June 2014

It's almost the summer holidays!!
Like many, I'm counting down the days until my exciting holiday abroad.
As well as counting down the days, I'm on the look out for some new summer clothes!

Here are a few items that I have loved, but not bought (yet), when on the hunt!



Outlaw denim jacket from the AWG range at
Glamour Kills in America.
RRP: $89.99 which converts to £53.74 (without P&P)

I have actually wanted this jacket for a year or so now.

Alex Gaskarth, lead singer of a band called All Time Low, partnered up with Glamour Kills to design a small range.
This jacket being one of its pieces.

I love how the main part of this jacket is denim but the hood and sleeves are a cotton material.
This really stood out to me when I saw it as I began to love it.

Glamour Kills stock jackets very similar, however without the writing and image on the back, but I loved this design. It really appealed to me and I prefer this one over the plain ones and other designs - and that's not just because it's part of Alex's range either!

 

This jacket is the exception of this post as the rest of my items are summer clothes!

 

Kardashian Kollection shorts for Sears (American department store)
RRP: $44.00 which converts to £26.28

After using my freedom, from school, to watch a tonne of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' last year, I began to follow the range 'Kardashian Kollection'.

This picture popped up recently and I found that I actually really like these shorts.

They're very summery and spot on for this year.
I love the mint coloured ones, the white ones and the washed out denim shorts particularly.

I know that the Kardashian sisters have their range in Lispy (UK), however they don't stock the same items that they do in America so I don't think they have these - which is upsetting.

But, I am visiting the USA very soon so hopefully I can grab myself a pair.



These are the Digi Roses Old Skool.
RRP: $65.00 which converts to £38.82



Whilst in America, I'm hoping to visit a Vans store too so I can purchase these beauties.

I stumbled across them when I was browsing the Vans website for clothes and a new pair of Old Skool vans - for some reason I ended up looking on the American website and I found these!

I currently have a pair in the same style, however they're leopard print.
I think this style of shoe is so comfy and I'm definitely going to get another pair.
(I also recommend this 'Old Skool' style to anyone!! They're great!)

When I saw this particular pattern, with the light pink strip and the roses, I fell in love.

They're beautiful and perfect for what I want!

 

Asos Cami in Cage Print
RRP: £18.00

Asos Maxi Skirt in Bias Cut
RRP: £18.00

I'm normally a dress kind of girl, but I'm trying to mix it up this summer.

I think that this cami top with the grey maxi skirt would be a perfect combination.

It's casual and relaxed yet stylish and cool.

Plus, you could wear just about any shoes with it as there's no distinct colour or pattern theme going on.

It's a light option, which could also be dressed up.

I hope that I can get something along these lines for this summer as it would be perfect!

 



Scuttle Mint Green Heeled Sandals from New Look
RRP: £29.99



These heels are gorgeous.

They'd be perfect for a warm summery evening.

The huge platform at the sole means that they're more comfortable to wear as your foot isn't at too much of an angle. Also, the design allows your toes to peep through the front, to show off your nicely painted toe nails of course, but it doesn't show too much foot with the wrap effect.

These chunky heels are in right now and they're pretty (in my opinion anyway!)

 

Also, I'm loving the mint green/pale (baby) blue colours this summer.

 

ASOS Long Line Cami in Animal Print

RRP: £20.00

 This cami is in a favourite pattern of mine. I love animal print.

For some reason I never used to like it, but since I bought my leopard print Vans, I've loved it!

Also, the cami style is becoming a new trend this year.

The thin straps make it easy to wear, light and comfortable while looking just as fab as a normal vest.

With this particular pattern, you could dress it up or dress it down depending on your plans.
Wear it with a cute leather skirt and heels or denim shorts and some flip flops.
Either way, you'll look gorgeous!

 

ASOS Mini Skirt in Leather
RRP: £55.00

I think leather skirts suit certain people. They're very specific.

I've never tried one on personally, so I don't know whether they suit me or not, but I do love them. Especially this one.

I stumbled across this while browsing ASOS for summer clothes. I think that this style is quirky and would match with just about any top.

Personally, I'd go for a patterned cami or a cute floaty top.

Also, you're left room to wear any kind of shoes - regarding they match your choice in top.



New Dorsay Heeled Court Shoes from River Island
RRP: £50.00



These heels are completely the opposite of the other ones, however they're just as lovely.

I think you'd wear these with a more sophisticated and 'going out' look.

They'd be perfect for a fancy meal with family or a fun night out.

The pointed toe just gives the heels that edge.

It's a certain style, which has made its way back into fashion.

And I love it!

 

 

 

 

So, these are some items of clothing (and shoes) on my wish list this summer.

What's on yours?
