Hey Beauties!

Lately, it seems like there's another festival with every week that passes, making Summer the season for music lovers. 
As much fun as festivals can be, they can also be stressful when it comes to packing as there is nothing convenient about staying in a tent!

Being the lovely little helper that I am, I decided that I would make packing that bit easier for you guys by telling you what I think are essentials for your festivals this Summer. 

1. Water Wipes.
Let's face it, there is nothing really sanitary about festivals and personal hygiene does have to sit on the back burner in terms of showering etc. 
To make this a bit easier and to help you feel as fresh as you can, baby wipes are a must.
Unlike most wipes, Water Wipes are super gentle on the skin thanks to being made up of 99% purified water and are suitable for sensitive skin. 
Not only can they be used to take off your make up (this is OK at a festival!) but you can also think of them as a hand held shower (TMI?!)


2. Dry Shampoo
Keeping on the topic of  hygiene, our hair has to stay in a low maintenance style for a festival weekend so dry shampoo is a must. 
My hair is dry enough to last a good few days in between washes but if you think you'll be an oily mess then this baby will be your best friend. 
Whether applied at the roots to absorb excess oil or throughout the hair for some added oomph, this product truly is a saviour!

3. Temporary Tattoos
Now that our hygiene has been sorted, it's time to think about the important stuff, fashion!
I feel like festivals are a time to let loose and have fun and what better way than experimenting with some temporary tattoos. 
These beauties are having a serious moment this season and are available everywhere, including in Primark stores, and look so good with a tan. 
My favourite are the gold variety and they add such a boho touch to any look, a festival winner for sure!


4. Concealer.
When you're partying late into the night, you're not going to be a pretty sight in the morning!
At festivals, you're going to be outside constantly dancing and having fun so the last thing you'll want is to have a heavy base on your skin. 
Concealer is handy as you can cover up those under eye circles and any blemishes you may have while letting your natural beauty shine through. 
This beauty from Collection has great coverage and does a fantastic job of filling in those pesky pores too!


5. Lip & Cheek Colour
When it comes to festivals and occasions where I can't pack as much, I love a good multi-use product. 
Lip and cheek products are everywhere now and make it so easy to add a little healthy flush to the cheeks while preventing the lips from looking washed out. 
These little beauties from The Body Shop are great to pack and come in a variety of lovely shades!


So there you have it, those are my top 5 products that will hopefully add a little something special to your bag at your next festival!

Hey Beauties!

With the hot Summer months fast approaching, it won't be long before you're all running off to the nearest festival.
As much fun as they are, they can be a bit of an ordeal especially when you consider the fashion, accessories and beauty packing to be done!
It's all well and good to rock out all day and night, but we have to make sure we look flawless while doing it and that's where Primark comes into the mix!

Primark have listened to our festival fashion worries and released a Collection of pieces that will have us releasing our inner Kate Moss in no time!


The Primark Collection is all about layering to achieve that ''I woke up like this'' vibe so think fringed kimonos teamed with cut off shorts and statement jewellery and you're on the right track. 
Delicate pilgrim-inspired dresses are a feature and can be toughened up easily with some desert boots (and some fierce model posing while you bop to the music!).

Double denim is back again so we had better embrace it this season with an added red lip for extra Tyra Banks points. 
For accessories, it's time to go really wild with feathers, charms and anything else that catches your eye!

Feast your eyes girls!


The Primark Summer Boho/Grunge Collection is available now :)

Would you guys like to see some ''festival survival'' fashion/beauty posts?

Hey there :)

Now that Summer is upon us, it can only mean one thing, it's festival time!
I know many festivals have already come and gone, but rest assured, there are still plenty left for this Summer so I'm not too late with this post!

As fun as festivals are, it can be a pain trying to decide what to bring, especially when you're a fashion conscious girl that likes to look her best. 
Let's face it, standing in the mud wearing sandals and jeans isn't appropriate for festival time so I'm here to help you guys look chic while rocking out :)

Heaton's is a store that has really caught my attention this Summer. 
I've featured their previous collections on my blog and they've really nailed it when it comes to Summer style and their Festival Collection is no exception. 

From bright Summer colours to trendy trilbies to sexy sunglasses, Heaton's have ticked every box and will have you guys looking like you hired a stylist for your chosen festival!


The Heaton's Festival Collection is available nationwide now!

What do you think?

Which is your favourite piece?

Stay Beautiful! xoxo
Hey there :)

With Summer finally upon us, it won't be long before some of you are setting off for all the various Summer festivals. 
As fun as festivals are, it can be very hard to keep up a skincare regime or to just keep clean in general!
With this in mind, I've been checking out some travel friendly, multi-use beauty products that will help you guys feel fresh and beautiful during festival season. 

One amazing find are the Magic Soaps from Dr. Bronner that I was recently sent. 

What They Say
These travel friendly soaps are all you need to stay fresh as a daisy this Summer. These babies clean clothes, hair, body and face and can also be used to clean your teeth!
Packed full of organic ingredients, these beauties really are all you need.

What I Say
I am totally delighted with these soaps!
It felt like every time I used them, I found a different use for them. I was sent the Almond, Peppermint and Tea Tree soaps and they all smelled lovely. I loved using the Almond soap to wash with, it lathered up nicely and left my skin feeling clean and fresh. The Tea Tree soap was great for cleaning my face and is still part of my skincare routine! It lathered and rinsed off easily, leaving my skin feeling cleansed and soft. My favourite soap was the Peppermint, it's perfect for washing your face in the morning as it'll leave you feeling fresh and awake thanks to the zingy scent. I also loved to use this soap as a perfect facial treat. Pour a small bit onto a face cloth, dip in hot water, cover your face and relax!
If you have a cold, the Peppermint scent is perfect for relieving a blocked nose. 
All in all, I love these soaps and definitely think you guys should check them out!

Dr. Bronner's Travel Size Travel Soaps are £1.99 each and come in 8 different scents. 
They are available nationwide from Liberty, selected Waitrose stores and leading health shops. 

What do you guys think?

What are your festival essentials?

Stay Beautiful! xoxo
