What's in my holiday make-up bag?

These are 4 products that I will be taking with me on my sunny travels to Ibiza on Sunday! Out of all the amazing S&G products I have been lucky enough to receive these 4 are my favourite for summer and times spent in the sunshine. 

Read my previous post where I review Glow Job. Its deffo one everyone needs to take on holiday! I love wearing no makeup and this gives me a sun kissed look without the cakey feeling of foundation. 

Solar Powder is a sparkly bronzing blush which when paired with S&G's highlighting stick it will give you a natural glow when your face is all tanned! 

Not to forget, everyone needs a bright coloured lippy on holiday and this coral colour is perfect!

My Highlight Of The Year With S&G

If you didn't already know Soap & Glory have 3 amazing highlighting sticks! They come in three different colours and all are totally different and can be used in so many different ways. 

Love At First Blush 
- This is a cute pink highlighter and the colour really pops when you put it on your cheeks! I would wear this highlighter as more of a blusher and apply lightly on on the apples of my cheeks

Wonderbronze 
- This is the highlighter for summer! With a tan this will give you an amazing bronzed glow. I'll be deffo taking this on holiday with me. TIP! Use this highlighter as a boozing stick on your body to give you GLOW. I'll be wearing this on my collar bones, legs and chest (basically my whole body) 

Glow All Out 
- I have been using this highlighter as a base for my powder highlighters and its fab! Really nice subtle colour that blends so well into your foundation

Festival Look!

I recently finished my 2nd year at Bournemouth University and to celebrate I went to SUBU Summer Ball - It's an event hosted by the university and students attend in fancy dress! I wanted to wear as much glitter and possible so dressing up as a fairy seemed the only option! Here is how I did my make-up and my hair. Obviously this look doesn't just have to be for fancy dress, its deffo just more of festival look, please keep reading to see how you could re-create this look :-) 

Hair 

I've always wanted to try out 'space buns' as they are such a cute look! I decided to wear my hair half-up half-down and I used straighteners to curl the bottoms of my hair, here is a step-by-step on how I achieved this hair style! 

1- Separate top of hair into middle parting
2- Spilt into two equal halves and tie into pig tails with hair elastic 
3- Backcomb these sections until they look crazy big! 
4- Tie section of hair around until you create that bun shape 
5- Pin with hair slides 

I then used straighter to curl the ends of my hair and hairsprayed it all together! To look extra glittery I used glitter hairy spray and glitter hair gel in my parting which was bought from PRIMARK


Make-up 

All my face gems were from an 80p pack from Primark which is amazzzeee. They come in different sizes so look really cool when you want to fade them above your eyebrow or just anywhere on your face. I had simple eyeshaddow on (I used my Too Faced Sweet Peach palette) and then glitter from Ebay just under my eyes. I really liked this look and it was so easy to do! 

Body glitter 

When it comes to body glitter I deffo prefer chunky glitter and I found the perfect glitter for that look. Gypsy Shrine do amazing glitters in so many colours and they are perfect for face & body, check out their website if you're looking for that perfect festival glitter!

My favourite Soap & Glory cosmetic

I've enjoyed every part of working with Soap & Glory this year and I have loved trying out and blogging about so many products! From trying out such a variety of products I thought it would be good for me to share with you all my number 1 S&G product everrrrr. 

This is a product I wouldn't have purchased normally or one that I would've ever thought about trying which is the main reason why I want to spread the word! With summer coming up fast and summer holidays approaching this product will follow me wherever I go. 

Glow Job 
So my favourite product ever is S&G's Glow Job! This is a tinted face moisturiser and an instant wash off self-tanner.  The moisturiser  has small micro-bronzerburst beads that 'pop' when you massage them into your face. I see an instant difference when I use the product and love using it as a substitute to my foundation! This will definitely be my number one product to use on holiday. The moisturiser isn't heavy or at all cakey so it literally feels like you're wearing nothing but you're skin will be glowy and naturally sunkissed which is amazzzzing! 

If you haven't already got this product you are missing out! Its a summer time saviour and is a deffo must have, get buying girls only £11! Click here for a direct link.

Top tips for dewy looking skin!

1 -Cleanse and wash face

I use S&G's The Greatest Scrub of All, its an exfoliating scrub that polishes your face so you look instantly radiant! I apply this with Soap & Glory's face mitt and it leaves my face feeling super soft, hydrated and clean! 

2- Moisturise

For a natural glow you have to keep your face hydrated and of course if you've read my previous post I use Speed Plump as my go-to moisturiser!

3- Hocus Focus

Before applying foundation and after moisturiser I use a pea size drop of Hocus Focus, it really is the secret for dewy skin! This product is an illuminator so I use this as you would a strobe cream and it works a treat. 

4 -Mac's Prep & Prime Oil 

A few drops of this in your foundation really does make a difference! It also smells so good and natural. 

Hope these tips have helped you achieve that glow!

Holiday Hacks!

With holiday season quickly approaching heres few of my go-to beauty hacks I use in hot weather! 

No.1 Sit Tight firming serum! - I use this product before going on holiday, although it says use everyday I have been applying this on and off as I always seem to forget or am in a rush and don't have time to use it before I go out! But this serum aims to firm up and smooth out your skin. I love this product, I wasn't expecting to see amazing results from this serum alone, because obviously going to the gym and regularly eating well is what it takes to achieve a cellulite free, healthy, toned bod! BUT... This serum have smoothed out my skin, I love that you can feel this product work instantly!

No.2  I want super smooth and soft skin and to get this on my legs I shave with baby oil. This keeps all the moisture in and the razor glides onto your skin getting rid of them nasty hairs, its a win win. It also help irritation so after a day in the sun this hack is great!

No.3 Dry Shampoo at night - This ensures you will wake up with extra clean feeling and smelling hair as the dry shampoo absorbs any excess oil and sweat. I'm using Soap & Glory's new dry shampoo The Rushower and it is AMAZING. Not only does it smell so so good but it doesn't leave my hair feeling thick and dusty like other dry shampoo's its a must have product!

No.4 Super soft lips - Days spent in the hot sun can leave your lips feeling a little drier than normal so when I'm on holiday I make sure I have a lip balm by my side. It's good to have one with SPF in it so your lips don't have any chance in blistering up as that would be reallllllly painful. If you're lips get chapped then a tip is to use a damp toothbrush and just brush over your lips gently to remove any dead skin. 

No.5 Burning! I'm sure nobody enjoys seeing that they resemble a lobster after a day sunbathing. BUT if you do burn then ensure you keep your after sun or aloe vera gel in the fridge whilst on holiday and you'll really want to thank your future self!

REVIEW - Soap & Glory's Speed Plump

Since receiving this product I've used it every single day. As a moisturiser its self is very light and thats what I want in a moisturiser I use in the morning, something too greasy and heavy never feels nice as a base to your foundation; which brings me onto my beauty hack! I use Speed Plump as a primer to my foundation as its super soft it allows my makeup to go on much smoother. Speed Plump combats all dry and dehydrated skin and does exactly what it says on the tin - my skin feels instantly more plump and fresh after every pea sized drop! 

Stay tuned for some more beauty hacks
