Summer Beauty Favourites

autumnleavesandaspringbreeze

Hello!   We are now leaving the Summer season, which I am actually not sad about at all as Summer is actually my least favourite season! I do love it but I just prefer cosy Autumn! Throughout Summer there are a few staple products that I love to use while I’m in the sun! My first favourite is this bronzer brush from The Body Shop! I love to use this, obviously, as a bronzer brush but also as a highlighter brush! It applies really evenly and beautifully, the brush is amazing quality and the bristles are super soft! Even the … Continue reading Summer Beauty Favourites

Bad Habits I don’t bite my nails but I do have a really bad habit of picking at my nail beds, especially when I’m stressed or bored. I pick at my mascara!

Lil Superdrug Haul

autumnleavesandaspringbreeze

Hello everyone! So today I got back from my holiday but before I left I popped into Superdrug to grab some things to the with me! The first thing I grabbed was this. Zoella Gelat’eau Body Mist. I knew I liked the scent because I had the mini version of this body mist from one of the Christmas gift sets and I saw it in the shop and it was only £2. It normally is £8, but I think they are trying to get rid of products as Zoe’s line comes to an end. The packaging is beautiful as you can … Continue reading Lil Superdrug Haul
