TOP 5 nail polishes for Summer

Hey everyone! 

Summer is finally here ! I usually change the type of colours I wear on my nails. Pastel and bright colours are so trendy at the moment  that's why I wanted to show you my most favourite nail polishes. 

Number 1 Maybelline Express Finish lacquer in 530 Red seduction


I love this nail polish because it dries so quickly, it's easy to apply and it's very long lasting. This colour is great cause you can wear it at any time of the year. Perfect red shade I guess :) 

Number 2 Maybelline Express Finish Lacquer in 155 Fushia 


How gorgeous is this bright pink ? I love it ! I usually only wear it during spring and summer! It's the perfect bright pink colour. Once again it's very long lasting and it dries very quickly! 
If you're looking for a great alternative you can try the NYC nail polish in 236 Greenwich Village which is also one of my favs! 

Number 3 Hema long lasting nail polish in 441. 

This gorgeous colour is from their pastel collection. I absolutely love it .. unfortunately I've been looking for it everywhere and I can't seem to find it to show you what it looks like (It's probably in one of my handbags .. ;) ). Claire's cosmetics do a great alternative for this, in number 283. 

Number 4 Hema long lasting nail polish in 856 



This nail polish is for me the perfect nude shade. The picture doesn't do it justice it's a bit more orange. you can see the right colour here  . Again if you can't get your hands on Hema nail polishes you can try the KIKO nail lacquer in number 319. 

Number 5 H&M in Polish Me Happy


Last but not least this perfect green colour by H&M ! I don't usually wear green but whenever I wear this nail polish I just feel like it looks awesome! It's easy to apply and you don't need a topcoat for it to look shiny. Apply two coats and you're good to go! 



And that's it! As you can see they're all pretty affordable and trendy ! Let me know what is your favorite nail polish at the moment in the comments below :) 
See you very soon for a new post! xxx

Natural skincare products!

Hello beauties!

Skincare is THE most important step in your daily beauty routine (does this even make sense?) but products can be very very expensive. I had issues with my skin these past two months (stress of exams make my skin go crazy! ) so I really struggled with spots and blemishes. 
I didn't want to spend too much on drugstore skincare products so I looked on the internet and decided to make my own natural products. 


So here are some masks/scrubs that might help you if you are having a hard time with your skin at the moment :) 

1. HONEY & GREEN TEA MASK

I won't go in too much details as I already posted an article about this just click here if you wanna see that! 
Simply mix a tea spoon of green tea with a tea spoon of raw honey, mix it all together and apply on your skin, leave for 10 to 15mins and rinse it off with cold water. That is by far my fav natural mask! :) 

2. HONEY & LEMON

Honey is such an amazing product cause it is an antibacterial so it's perfect for acne, it also has antioxidants which help you slow aging, it opens up your pores so it helps cleaning your pores and makes it easier to unclog and is really moisturizing. 
Lemon is also amazing for acne and for healing scars.
Put these two together and BOOM! Magic happens!
I use this after washing my face with a cleanser. I use a cotton pad, apply it on my face and rinse it off with cold water. I only use it during my evening skincare routine (too lazy in the morning)
I would recommend this if you have spots or blemishes.
You can also add yoghurt to the mixture , it has a lot of benefits as well (but it looks kind of gross haha)

3. EGG WHITE & LEMON MASK

I told you about how good lemon juice is but egg white has some amazing benefits too! I use it mainly when I feel like my pores are too visible. Egg white will help "closing" your pores and so reduce your spots. All you have to do is mix an egg white with the juice of half a lemon and apply the mixture with a cotton pad on your face after your cleanser. I also use it only in the evening. Keep this in the fridge for a few days only.

4. SUGAR SCRUB

The most natural scrub you could have is just water and sugar. It helps to get take off all your make up completely and also get rid of your dead skin. Your skin will feel clean and new after using this. You can also replace sugar with sea salt.


That's basically everything I've tested so far ! I use the green tea mask only once a week. I use the honey/lemon almost everyday and sometimes replace it with the egg white/lemon mask depending on how my skin is doing. Obviously all these ingredients put together look kind of gross and don't smell amazing but their effects on your skin definitely are!


I hope you enjoyed this article if you use any of these masks please let me know what you think about them in the comments below :)

YOUR TURN TO SPEAK ! WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO READ NEXT ?

Hello everyone!

So as you may noticed I haven't uploaded a new post for a few weeks. That's because I'm still doing my final exams (I'm sure you are too) ! I'll be done this friday that's why I promise you a lot more articles! I really want to post things you'd love to read , so I decided to create this post where you could REQUEST the different things you'd like me to post about.

To help you with that I have a few ideas :
- celebrity/people inspired make up tutorials : I could do easy make up tutorials inspired by whoever you want. It can be celebrities but also youtubers or simply people you follow on twitter (example : Doniya Malik) who have quite a signature look.
- hauls: I could simply show you everything that I will have bought in the next few weeks (sales start on July 1st but I'll definitely make A LOT of shopping next week)
- fashion posts : I could show you my outfit of the days really quickly or even make a post on my favorite brands (cause you know I don't wear classy clothes everyday. I like to go to uni with a simple tee and jeans and converse! )
- other: ?


I'm looking forward to reading your comments ! Making a blog is great, but the best part is to please my readers. I want to make sure you are excited to read a new article every time I post one !
So all you have to do is comment below and I'll make sure to take notes !

Also, what do you think about the idea of me making a youtube channel ? I feel like tutorials are easier when you watch them.. I have thinking of doing that for more than a year and I think I'm kind of ready.

Enough rambling, leave a comment below and have a beautiful day!

Much love!
