Cheek to cheek

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing Powder, Liz Earle blusher in Nude c/o, Topshop Cream Blusher in Neon Rose (similar), Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Coffee Cake

Now the summer has decided to make an appearance albeit a little hit and miss, I thought i'd share a few of my favourite cheek products that have been in rotation over the last few months.

My all time favourite bronzer that I come back to time and time again is the Bourjois offering. It's such a staple product in my make up bag. I love the fact it's fairly matte and doesn't turn me into a glitterball. It's great value for money and lasts for ages as you don't need too much. Be careful when you apply as it can look a little 'muddy' if you're too heavy handed.

I was kindly given the matte Liz Earle blush and fell in love from the first swipe. Again it's best to use quite lightly as it's very pigminted. It has amazing staying power and looks gorgeous when you have a bit of a tan. Alternatively it's great to use when you're feeling pale and need a pick-me-up. 

I picked up the Topshop cream blush on a whim as i'd been reading too many blogs and regretted the colour choice when I got home. I'm a bronzer girl through and through! It was a moment of madness and remained untouched until the weather started to heat up. Now I love it for a night out. It's not quite as scary as it looks in the pot! It's a great product to build up depending on what sort of mood you're in. It doesn't go streaky and glides on effortlessly.

Finally the cream Maybelline blush was something I picked up whilst I was in New York back in April. I was immediately drawn to the colour as I thought it'd be great for a subtle everyday look. I was completely right and love it when I want to look glowing but also that I haven't tried too hard! I wish i'd picked up more of the range.

What's your favourite cheek product at the moment? Have you tried any of my picks?

Glasto '14

Well, I really don't know how to put into words just how utterly amazing Glastonbury was. It was without a doubt some of the best five days i've ever had. Bold statement I know. I knew it was going to be fun but really didn't anticipate just how much fun. I've been on a massive comedown ever since I've came home. It all seems like a bit of a blur now! Fingers crossed i'll be going again next year!

We arrived on Wednesday in baking hot sunshine after Hannah and Lily had agreed to let my friend and I gatecrash their camp for the next few days. Unfortunately the beautiful hot weather was not going to stick around for too long and by Thursday the rain started to make an appearance and never really went away. Still it helped me get the authentic Glastonbury experience and I wouldn't have had it any other way.

On the way back to the tent after the awesome Kasabian set I was asked who my highlight of the festival was and for once I was absolutely stumped and struggled to name just one. I'm still struggling to pick just one highlight! But I absolutely loved Kasabian - they just really know how to put on a proper show. I'll always have a soft spot for Tom! Dolly Parton was amazing and she was a joy to watch. Her little anecdotes had me laughing all the way through the set. Vance Joy was also a pleasure to listen too, it was fairly chilled as just what I needed at 12 in the afternoon. I wasn't in the right state of mind for anything too heavy! Kelis was outstanding too - I'd forgotten just how many of her songs I actually knew. Loved having a boogie to Milkshake!

Did any of you lot go to Glastonbury? What was your highlight?

Soap Glory Sit Tight Super-Intense 4D

A few weeks ago now I was invited along to Soap & Glory pamper evening to celebrate the launch of their new product. Let me introduce Sit Tight Super-Intense 4D. Priced at £18, it's designed to to work it's magic while you sit down. Hence the name! It has three metal ball barings which you glide on your problem areas on your bottom half.  Obviously it's not a complete miracle and you can't have perfect firm skin if you continue to binge on junk food but it does help if you eat healthily! It has a slight tingling feeling once it's been applied but this doesn't last forever. It's a strange sensation when you do sit down but it's not too annoying that it will make you uncomfortable. I felt strangely comforted as it meant it was working in my eyes. It'll be a great product to start using a month before your summer holiday.

Although I could only pay a fleeting visit as I was meeting my boyfriend for dinner, I was still able to enjoy a relaxing hand massage. Hand Food is a product that's a staple in my handbag so I made sure I made a beeline for that station. I loved the fact you could move around and try out different activities, such a shame I couldn't stay long enough for the tarot card reading. I've never had it done before!

Thank you very much for the invite Soap & Glory!
