Update
Just a quick update from my phone to apologise for the lack of posts recently. My MacBook charger had died on me (to buy a new charger is ridiculously expensive!) so I'm just deciding weather to buy a new charger or weather to actually buy a new MacBook as I think my current MacBook is on it's way out. Hopefully I'll be back and posting again very soon!

MAC Brush Cleanser
My MAC Brush Cleanser is definitely one of my holy grail products that i can not live without as i never like to have dirty brushes, just because i find it more hygienic and sanitary. I also like to use a few of my brushes for multiple different things, so quickly spot cleaning them whilst im doing my makeup is so useful! I just fold a tissue in half and then in half again and i pour a little bit of the brush cleanser on the tissue and swirl my brushes round until the majority of the product is off. Then ill swirl the brush around on a clean tissue to absorb some of the cleanser so that the brush dries a bit quicker. The brushes dry really quickly and the cleanser doesn't dry my brushes out or anything. Even though i constantly use this and spot clean my brushes every time i do my makeup, i still give my brushes a deep clean every two weeks or so.
I'm never going to stop buying this product and strongly recommend it to everyone who likes to use fresh brushes and uses some brushes in a few products!

Matte Neon Coral Nails
I think i may have found my favourite nail combo for this Summer- Models Own 'Pink Punch' and Rimmel Matte Finish. Neon is really in at the moment and i'm loving neon polishes, i think it's a good way to add a pop of colour to an outfit without it being to overwhelming.
Do you know of any other neon polishes?

Personal Questions: TAG
I've been a bit quiet on the blog front lately (sorry about that... i've just done my exams and am now on half term and then study leave which means more time for blogging!), so to get things going again i thought i would answer some questions...
1. Do you have a middle name? yep, i do! it's Fleur
2. What was your favourite subject in school? I think my favourite subject was probably maths, i also really enjoyed doing Hair and Beauty for my GCSE's
3. What is your favourite drink? My favourite drink and one of the few things i do drink is water! I could so easily just drink water for the rest of my life, water ice is the bomb
4. Favourite song at the moment? I don't have one in particular one but a few songs i've been loving at the moment are- Drake, Girls love Beyonce; Mariah Carey and Miguel, Beautiful; Wale and Miguel, Lotus Flower Bomb; and Disclosure, You & Me

6. Do you participate in any sports? I used to swim for my borough 14 hours a week and have to be in the pool by 5 o'clock in the mornings before school to start training. I qualified nationally as part of a relay team in 3 events actually! Apart from that, nope

8. Favourite Colour? I think my favourite colour would have to be a Raspberry Pink sort of colour, i also love White and Emerald Green

MAC Rebel Lipstick
Rebel is a Lipstick i have been swooning over for a really long time and the other day i was lucky enough to have been given this to me as a late birthday present from one of my bezzies (thanks chatch, you da best) and as you can imagine as soon as i got home i was swatching away and snapping pictures to blog about it. I feel like Rebel is a colour that you can wear all year round, it's the perfect Winter/Autumn colour because it's a dark colour, almost like a bright Current sort of colour, but it's also great for Summer. Because of it's blue undertones, i think it's bright enough to wear during the warmer months. I wore this the other day, lightly over my lips for a more laid back look, and it just gave a gorgeous Currenty, Purpley tint to my lips.
What Mac lipstick do you guys think I should add to my collection next? I'm thinking Candy Yum Yum?

St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse Dark
This was the first fake tan i've ever used apart from using the Dove Gradual Tan and i'd read lots about it before i purchased it as i knew i wanted an olivey toned one rather than one that's going to make me look orange. People had said that it's more for an experienced fake tanner because you have to work with it really quick (which you really do!) but i once you get the hang of it, it's fine! I apply it with the St Moriz mitt which works fine, although i have to wear a glove underneath because the tan seeps through the mitt, resulting in brown patchy hands! It's pretty to easy to apply because you can see exactly where you've applied thanks to the colour guide. Once you've washed the colour guide off it leaves a lovely olive, sunkissed look to your skin, which looks like you've had a couple of days in Egypt or somewhere. It's the perfect colour for the first few days and then it starts to go really patchy and scaley looking. Even when i tried to scrub it off with an exfoliating glove and exfoliator, it would not budge! I'm going to share with you what i did prior to tanning and after (i dont know if this is exactly what your supposed to do, but its just what I do) :
Two nights before your going to be fake tanning- Exfoliate and moisturise
That night, prep- I washed my hair (I made sure I washed my hair the night before rather than the day I washed the colour guide off, as that would leave you with patchy hands), I shaved and I exfoliated using the Clarins Smoothing Body Scrub and used an exfoliating mitt with it aswell. When i got out of the bath i moisturised with Aloe Vera Gel (i used this as it sinks in straight away and it's really light, if you use a normal moisturiser or body butter, the fake tan won't want to stick to your body because it's to oily. The reason i made sure some moisture was going into my skin is because this fake tan is VERY drying, but i'll talk about that later), i waited about half an hour before i fake tanned and in that half an hour i also let my hair dry, otherwise i'd end up touching my hair when its wet and then get patchy hands.
Fake tanning- I lay my towel down on the carpet as it gets very messy, i still get fake tan splodges all over my carpet though, oopppss! Then i start from my feet and work my way upwards, doing small sections and going in circular motions and i blend it in completely to avoid any streaking or patchiness. When your doing your feet make sure your blending it completely over your toes otherwise your going to get those horrible lines and it will look weird! Pay more attention to your elbows, ankles and knees and make sure its 100% blended and applied evenly because they're the places that are drier than the rest of your body so the fake tan is going to cling to them more. When i've finished applying it, i just stand there for about 10 minutes to air dry and then i'll just put my dressing gown on and get on with anything else i want to do, being careful to not touch anything or wash my hands or anything.
The next morning- When i've woken up, i usually have brown bed sheet and patches all over my body, but it's ok, it's just the guide colour! I'll then jump into the bath and let the guide colour soak off and i scrub everywhere that's gone a bit browner than the rest of me, like my elbows, toes and knuckles. When i've got out of the bath i rinse off with the shower just to be sure every bit of the guide colour is off. Then your left with this lovely colour
This Fake Tan is extremely drying so i make sure i moisturise every chance i can, otherwise my legs end up going a bit scaly from how dry they are!
After about 5/6ish days I do still look relatively tanned apart from the horrible patches i get behind my knees :( So thats when i start to scrub it all off
Overall i do completely recommend this Fake Tan, the colour is gorgeous and you definitely get what you pay for.
St Moriz Tanning Mousse is available to purchase at Amazon. I've also heard that they do it in Tesco and they do normally have it on Missguided as well.
Have you tried any of the St Moriz products?

SS13 Outfit Ideas
1. I think this outfit would be perfect for either a girly day with your friends, shopping or whatever, or it would also be so cute for a date that involves you being outside. Theres a pop of orange in there and i think orange and navy look so pretty together.
Joni Jeans(the link is to the petite ones as they didn't have the regular ones in stock at the time)
2. This would also be great for a casual day, shopping, going to the cinema etc. Being comfortable doesn't necessarily mean having to wear sweatpants, this is a really cute idea for comfort and style.
Socks- Topshop
Necklace- Missguided
3. This is probably one of the more dressier outfits, but i still think it's casual and i'd wear this going to London to do some shopping, or going out for lunch or dinner. Theres a pop of pink through the outift whereas everything else is relatively kept black and silver for the jewellery (apart from the colour in the skirt of course). This is definitely my favourite outfit and i need that skirt and those sandals!
Shirt
Skirt
Bag
Sandals
Sunglasses
Bracelet
Necklace
4. How AMAZING are those shorts *drools* i've been eyeing them up for a long time but they're quite pricey and i think they are from America so theres obviously added shipping :( But this outfit would be perfect for a casual day out and i think spot on for a festival. I also think the outfit could be dresses up with some black heels, a black clutch and a bowler hat or something.
Shorts
Top
Converse
Bracelet
Sunglasses
Have you guys got any outift ideas yet for Spring and Summer? Or would you wear any of my outfit ideas?
