1 - I'm obsessed with my brows so actually went to pick up one of these bad boys on Saturday and so far I'm loving it. It's a really unique product with a sponge and gives a great natural look. Please let me know if you're interested in a full review.
2 - Sleek have launched a new illuminating concealer which looks very similar to the iconic YSL touche eclat - I fancy trying this bad boy so may pick one up at the weekend - update to follow.
3 - Mac have launched a great new selection of mini palettes for just £30.00 for 9 shadows. My favourite is the Amber Times Nine which are all beautiful shades for anyone with a warm skin tone. You can by this palette here.
4 - In my opinion Loreal does some of the best drugstore mascaras so I'm excited to try the new False Lash Superstar.
5 - YesTo is finally coming to the UK - the range of natural products are due to launch in Boots in July. I'm already eying up what I want to try!!

Top Tips for Summer Weddings
With Wedding Season fast approaching I have pulled together some of my top tips for shopping for the perfect Wedding Guest outfits.
1) Shop the Sales
I would never buy a dress for a wedding at full price. As formal wear is often timeless scour the sales and pick up a beauty at a fraction of the cost. Below are a few example of some of my favourite bargains on the market at the moment.
3) Make Sure You Can Dance the Night Away
One of the mistakes I'm sure we've all made at weddings is wearing shoes that kill our feet and being *that* girl in the middle of the dance floor with no shoes on! Nowadays I always ensure that I'm wearing something on my feet that I'm comfortable in! I usually go for a wedge that I've tried and tested. No shoes and weddings are a no go for me. I'm personally loving New Look's new range of comfort fit heels which come in a range of different styles and heel heights.

2) Coast - £69 to £55
3) ASOS £45 to £13
2) Don't Get Hat Hair!
If you're going to a wedding in the height of summer a massive hat may not be the best idea - there's nothing worse than rocking up at reception with sweaty hat hair. If you are wanting to wear a head piece in the summer I think a fascinator can look super stylish and keep your head cool. Below are a couple of non-hat hair ideas!

4) Take a Big Bag!
When I say big obviously I don't mean a massive Mary Poppins style bag but remember a wedding isn't a night out and if you're a day guest you can end up being there for over 12 hours! I always make sure I have a large selection of make-up (for top ups), a hairbrush, hair grips, tissues, breath spray, perfume and deodorant which just don't fit in a tiny ornamental clutch. This doesn't however mean your bag has to be ugly - I've selected some big and beautiful wedding appropriate bags below.
1) New Look - £19.99
2) ASOS - £35.00
3) Karl Lagerfield - £135.00
5) PRIME!!!!
One of the most important thing's when at a wedding is to think about your make up and the most vital factor in my mind is to hold it all together with a top notch primer. My favourite is by Laura Mercier and costs £29.00. Other than a good primer I'd recommend sticking with your usual make-up that your confident wearing and take along a make-up with you for top-ups throughout the day.
