Summer Bracelets

Hello!

So every summer, I gather a little collection of bracelets that I would wear nearly every day of summer. They are all very casual bracelets and if I were to go out for dinner in the evening, I would probably change my jewellery to something a bit fancier. I kind of just decided to share what my summer bracelet collection looks like this year and a few combinations I've been enjoying!

This first bracelet was a gift from my boyfriend and he actually bought me it before summer. This is one of my favourite bracelets and I will definitely continue to wear it after summer, I would also wear this bracelet with a dressy outfit too.

I absolutely love this bracelet and I hadn't worn it much of summer but I definitely will be now! My boyfriend Jack also bought me this bracelet from his holiday from Greece.

I bought this bracelet myself when I was on holiday in Majorca and I'm pretty positive that it was two or three euros. I have a necklace which matches this which will probably feature in my blog soon.

This is another of my favourites. This bracelet was only one euro!!! I got it again whilst I was away in Majorca and I couldn't believe how cheap it was! I thought it looked like something from Accessorize that you would pay at least £10 for! What a bargain!

This bracelet, if you do not know, is a loom bracelet. This is definitely the latest craze for all young children so I decided to buy myself a packet of them and teach myself how to make a bracelet. I really love the colour combination of white, blue, pink and purple!

This bracelet has faded a lot which is really sad because I love it. It is basically one of the typical holiday threaded bracelets but it was multi coloured but as I was in the pool so much and I didn't take it off my whole holiday, it has slightly faded which is so upsetting. It was also super cheap though.

This is another of my favourites as Jack bought me it from Greece. It is one big bracelet that goes around your wrist three times. It's so so pretty and I love it a lot.

Here is one combination of bracelets I like to wear (I obviously don't wear all of my bracelets at once). I really love the pink and blue in this one.

Another combination that I love. The blue bracelet is actually magnetic so it is so easy to get on and off quickly.

And this is the final combination that I am loving. The big spirally bracelet is just so vibrant and pretty.

I am putting all of my bracelets in this little basket where I used to keep my nail polishes but they have been relocated for the meantime. A lot of my bracelets are scattered around my room so a lot of them are missing from the basket!

I hope you all enjoyed this,

Haul: MUA Make Up Products

Hey all! I have recently been trying out the MUA brand of make up which is super cheap and affordable! It can be found in nearly all Superdrug stores so definitely check it out! I had originally stumbled upon this brand with the intent purely to use their lipstick, but when my sister bought the pressed powder, I had fallen in love!

Today I have a haul of all the MUA products I have recently purchased and I'm going to do a mini review for you all for all of the products.

This is the MUA pressed powder and it is my favourite powder I've ever used! Only £1!

I use shade 2 and it is such a heavy duty powder that gives a lot of coverage.

I've never used blush except Benefit Benetint and I decided I would go for a cheaper purchase to see how I like it! This mosaic blush was only £2.50 and it gives a lovely shimmer on your cheeks.

The purple tones in this blush are so pretty!

This Hide & Conceal was only £1 and I use the shade natural. I just picked one up really quickly without even checking if it matched my skin tone but it matches perfectly - lucky guess!

I love using this for covering up the bags under my eyes.

I recently lost by Benefit Hoola bronzer whilst I was away in Wales and I was gutted so the next day I bought a cheap purchase of £1 bronzer to replace until I can afford another Hoola!

MUA do very dark bronzers so I went for the lightest shade 1 and it has a lot of shimmer in it, so it is not anywhere close to being like my Hoola bronzer as it is so matte! Oh well!

I also bought the eyebrow pencil for £1 which is definitely another bargain. The shade I bought was called blonde.

The bad things was, when I opened this side, the lid got stuck and I had to pull it really hard and it broke so now I don't have a lid! As you can tell, I've already used to brush!

I also purchased the felt eyeliner which I have forgotten the price of! I can't even find it anywhere online! There is a similar MUA felt eyeliner for £3 on their website.

Here is a close up of the tip, this allows so much precision and accuracy and is really good for winged eyeliner!

This is the MUA lipstick in the shade bare which is such a lovely nude! They also have a matte range of lipsticks that I shall invest in shortly! These lipsticks are all £1.

This is a quick swatch of the lipstick! I love wearing it when I have heavy eye make up done so all the focus goes to my eyes.

This is the Cover & Conceal by MUA which is another good concealer. I would tend to put it on before my base and then after my base, I would finish up with a bit of the Benefit Boi-ing Concealer.

This wand was only £1.50 - so many bargains!

I got this a while ago and really struggled on how I can use it. I've decided that when I do smokey eyes, I put this on the outer corners of my eyes to get a better effect. 

This Colour Blast Eyeshadow Tint is in the shade Unfaithful. This item was £3 and I'm hoping to buy more, including the shade Stay.

The final purchase I made for £1 was a nail polish in the shade Frozen Yogurt. I love how cheap these are because even if the quality isn't the best, just apply a clear top coat of a good quality polish! I have a post coming up soon featuring this product!

I hope you all really enjoyed this post and please let me know what MUA products you have and if you like them or not! Click here to check out the MUA website so you can pick up some great bargains!

Love you all,

July: Holy Grail Make Up Product

Hey guys!

I've decided that at the end of every month I'm going to pick one of my make up products in my collection that is my holy grail! This will be a product that I will go to the most often and the one I feel works for me best, I will also give a review on the product throughout.

For July, my holy grail make up product is my Benefit Boi-ing Concealer. I use the shade 01 and although I am quite tanned, I feel like shade 02 is just far too dark because I have had both before.

For me, this product is very high coverage and I tend to actually apply it after my foundation and then proceed to my powder after. This method just works best for me.

I use this product where ever I have any imperfections and under my eyes. My first pot of this product did me for so long so I'm so glad I bought another!

I would highly recommend this product to anyone for £17.50. It is definitely worth the price as it has done me for so long and it is known for its "industrial strength".

Hope you enjoyed!
Love from Ellen xo
