My favourite summer beauty products

 For summer make-up I keep to a natural sun sunkissed look. I don't wear all the products all at the same time, for example if I have the face and lips I don't wear the eyes. And I like to try out different colours to change it up or you get bored! Below I'm showing all of my favourite products I recommend all of them!

1.

 












This lip bullet from topshop is £8 it gives the perfect shimmer to your lips and is very complementary to any skin colour.

2.
















The Clinique dramatically different moisturiser costs £17 - £29.50, I use this moisturiser twice a day after clensing and toning.

3.
















This accessorize Diamond lip gloss has been one of my favourites for a long time when it was bought for me as a birthday gift. They do lots of different shades but this is definitely my favourite. It works great for both summer and winter. The price is £4.

4.













I love trying out new nail polishes! This summer the Chanel distraction shade has been one of favourites. I brought this shade in the airport so it was duty free and was £15 but normally they cost £18 . I have been really impressed with the Chanel polishes they stay on without chipping for a whole  week.

5.













The Solait bronzer gives off the perfect sun kissed look for summer. It is now on sale at Superdrug for  £3.29 was £4.99.

6.













Lancome do the best mascars all of them cost £22 but they last for a really long time. I was given this one for Christmas and still using it now!

7.














I don't often wear foundation but when I do I like to use the YSL Le Teint Touche Éclat. They do many shades to match your skin tone. The ladies on the counter help you to find your perfect match. This foundation comes in at £28!

8.













This BB cream by Boot's own brand 17 for teenage skin is amazing. It gives the perfect amount of coverage and helps improve skin it also has a spf25. Sometimes what I do especially for school is mix it with my moisiser which saves time if your running late in the morning.

9.

This is a nail cream by Dior is really effective. You apply before bed (a little goes a long way) it makes your nails stronger and helps them grow. £19 

10. 

By Accessorzie this Merged Blusher is £4.95. I use this more in winter for a warm blushed look on my cheeks when its cold. 

11. 

This fragrance called Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture is my favourite perfume ever. I know it isn't a beauty product but I wanted to put it on as it smells really summery and I love it so much!  

12. 

After I've washed my hair I apply this serum. It controls frizz and provides heat protection and leaves your hair felling silky and healthy. This price is £6!

Moscow style

 Recently on my summer break I travelled to Moscow, Russia. Like all cities there are tourist areas and the "poverty" areas. Moscow overall was a vibrant and beautiful city - the streets buzzed with people from many cultures. Every morning the metro was jam packed, it was unlike any metro I had ever seen. The chandeliers were made from crystal and the floors marble. Moscow is quickly becoming a fashion capital, having an influence on the rest of the world!

Moscow underground 

The one thing that surprised me most when in Moscow was how the women dressed. Their appearance was immaculate, all with manicures and sky scraper stilettos. I was amazed to see how effortlessly they strutted up and down stairs and on and off the escalators without one wobble.  

In the centre is Red Square and the Kremlin, and they were full of tourists. The size of it was just HUGE! The amount of wealth was incredible.

GUM, State owned shopping centre 

The shopping centre pictured above is known as GUM, and is very famous. Inside there is every "posh" shop imaginable.  There are three levels inside and three columns (which can get rather confusing). 

Recently this moth on July 9th Dior put on its second show in Moscow outside GUM, Red Square - the first show was held in 1959. Especially for the Dior show a mirrored pavilion was made.
