The Beach:The Good-The Bad-The Ugly

Summer is finally here and that means one thing.
The beach...
Now you either love it or hate it but whatever your feelings are, there are a few things we can all agree on...

1) There always happens to be a huge turnout whenever YOU go. Let's face it, unless you own a private island (and if you do, well aren't you lucky eh?) then you find especially in the hot weather you have to fight your way through sunburnt holiday makers and locals alike, whilst practically sprinting at full pelt to avoid the burning sand on your poor tootsies. 

2) Buying your ice cream is just a bad omen. I'm sure we all have a story to tell about ice cream fails, whether it went from your mouth and migrated to your nose/cheeks?! or was topped with sandy sprinkles or maybe your dog started eating another strangers Mr whippy (True story-Oh the shame!)

3) You get serious Inflatable Float envy. No one likes a rubbish lilo that won't take your weight so your once so simple trip to the beach is basically re enacting the Titanic (Shade thrown to Supermarché in France...)But worse than that, no one likes a rubbish lilo when you have to compare it to the six year old next to you with a super cute inflatable Unicorn/Duck/Pizza Slice. I have seen these EVERYWHERE and been soooo close to giving in and reaching for my purse, but at the not so super cute price of 30€ each, I think I will be clutching on to my sinking Ship With both hands, Thank You Very Much

4) The Complimentary Sunscreen Exfoliation Service.  No matter what your plan of action, no matter how new the bottle is or how many times you have scrubbed your hands on your poor faded beach towel, you can always feel the rough grains of sand scraping up your leg as you innocently lathered. You have my condolences.

Lots of Love

Lazy Sunday Skincare

Sunday is the best day to boost my skin. I have far more time and patience than I would have mid-week. This means I can take more time to cleanse and care for my skin. I love how at the end of the week I can relax and take time to do a skin care routine, or choose to switch it up, depending on how the previous week has left my skin! I start the morning off with a long hot shower, this opens up my pores (this is ideal if you want to prevent blocked pores and give them a good cleanse!) I hop out the shower and  cleanse my skin with the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. This product is absolutely fantastic, and has twelve awards to prove it! I use this with the pure cotton cloth. This product works in a 2 phrase process. Phase 1 is the Cleanse, where you massage this onto dry skin, working in a circular motion. Phase 2 is the Polish and uses the damp cloth to wipe off the cream. Afterwards, lightly pat skin dry with a towel. This cleanser contains Chamomile an...

When To Chuck Your Makeup

Image
Nowadays, people are more and more conciencious over keeping their makeup in tip top condition. You can wash brushes, but what about your products? When do they need replaced? Let's discover the horrifying truth...Or shall we? Mascara - 3 Months Unfortunately your Dior show mascara won't seem so worth the price tag after all if you don't even get time to finish the bottle! However, keep your Mascara longer than 3 months and you run the risk of some nasty eye infections #notcute Eyeliner-3 Months Now this goes for all liquid and gel liners. Sorry to break it to you, these don't last long enough to master the perfect cat eye wing, sigh. Pencil eyeliner-2 years 2 Years? I hear you asking.Yes.Two.Whole.Years. Life is not so bad anymore... Lip Gloss- 18-24 months Personally, I think this is really reasonable, because for me I can get through tubes of The Balm lip gloss like nobody's business. Lipstick and Lip liner-1 Year Charlotte Tilbury is now in ...
