Spring Into Summer

These are some of my favourite things…

I haven't blogged in awhile, however I have some great posts coming up for you all regarding all things spring/summer. I am actually super excited that the weather is warming up! Summer is so near!! So in honour of this beautiful weather I want to share with you all my current favourite beauty products that will prove to be handy in the upcoming seasons.

Nars Bronzer "Laguna"  



I walked into Mecca Cosmetica a few weeks ago and I was drawn to the Nars make-up section and, like many girls out there, I was sucked in to all the amazing products. I ended up choosing only a few of my faves and one of them was the Nars Bronzer in Laguna. It is literally the nicest bronzer with a gorgeous golden shimmer. It will be perfectly fitting for the summer months as it is a true brown-based bronzer with a gold shimmer fusion that's excellent for creating or enhancing the look of healthy, glowing, tanned skin.

Nars Blush "Orgasm"




The blush is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L peachy pink with a shimmer and it goes hand in hand with the Laguna Bronzer. This blush is a very subtle pink for a real natural day look and it can definitely work well for nighttime too. Enough said. It sure did win me over!

Rouge Coco Shine "74 Parfait" 





This lipstick is soft and sensual, which makes it the perfect pink for summer. I have had it for quite some time now and constantly use it. I definitely recommend it if you are after a light colour with a nice shimmer.


Napoleon Luminous Lip Veil Lipgloss "In The Flesh"





This lipgloss adds so much gloss and shimmer and another bonus - it's long lasting. I usually apply this over my Coco Chanel lipstick just to add extra shine so I guess you could do that with one of your favourite light coloured lipsticks.


EOS Lipgloss "Strawberry Sorbet"





One of my ultimate FAVOURITES!!! It's my newest lipgloss and it is the only lipgloss I have that smells so good that you just want to eat it! It is so soft and sensual that your lips are literally left feeling as soft as a babies bottom. EOS products are exclusive only in America, however you can purchase yours online at a very good price like I did. I recommend!


Olay "Complete Moisturise Lotion" 





Okay, I think I have saved the best for last because although make-up is great, I personally love nothing more than the feeling of a fresh face that doesn't need any beauty products! I am so proud of girls who can go outside of the vicinity of their own home with minimal to no make-up and I am proud to say that I have no shame in doing it either. As the good old cliché goes, "beauty is skin deep" and "it's what's on the inside that matters most" - absolutely true! So that brings me to Olay. It is a moisturiser in the form of sunscreen and I've been wearing it whenever I have no make-up on. I recommend this product purely based on the fact that by using it you will hopefully be able to be confident in wearing no make-up as it is a fantastic facial cleanser and best of all, it prevents ageing!! How good is that? Also, another tip for anti-ageing: consume as little sugar as you can because while sugar itself is not necessarily the enemy, the way the cells in your body recognise and use sugar may speed up the body's aging process and make your skin look older. Reading that definitely changed my mind about eating and drinking yummy things that contain prolific amounts of sugar - why oh why are the delicious foods/drinks so damn bad for us!? 


Well there you have it beauty Queens! Stay tuned for more.
