Fluoro Trend

A big trend this summer is fluorescent colours. If you don't feel like a neon yellow dress ifs for you, try some fluoro accessories to give your outfit a summer update. Try adding some neon bracelets to a casual look or a bright statement necklace to a more dressy look. I like this idea because neon clothes tend to fade with washing whereas accessories are more durable. I love this neon pink satchel bag from Penney's. I really like more structured bags lately.

• Neon pink, also available in yellow
• 11euro
• Structured, easier to find things in your bag
• Medium sized
• Concealed front fastening
• Shoulder strap 
• Top handle
• Silver hardware accents

How will you incorporate neon in your wardrobe?

Revlon ColorBurst Lipgloss

These are the perfect lipglosses for people who don't like the sticky lipgloss feeling. They feel silky and creamy, not the usual superglue effect at all. I think these colors are perfect for summer, bright and vibrant. The pink can have a slight teeth yellowing effect but that's no fault of the product. I think they add a nice pop of color to casual makeup and bring a nice glow to the face. Exactly what we need for summer! They contain light reflecting glitter particles for an extra shine boost. The coral color is called 006 Strawberry Fraise, unfortunately I don't know the name of the pink one.

• around 8 euro

Definitely a thumbs up from me! will you be trying them?

Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr in On and On Bronze

This is a lightweight gel cream shadow and as it is a gel cream it blends very easily. It can be used as an eye shadow base to really make powder eye shadows stick, last all day and not crease, or, as an eyeshadow all by itself. If i'm using it as a base I put on a light layer and blend out just below where my powder eyeshadow will stop. Worn on its own it gives a nice sweep of color quickly and easily.

On and On Bronze Swatch, left applied thickly, not blended, right blended  out.

The jist;

• gel cream formula
• highly pigmented
• dual usage
• easy to work with
• works great as a quick fix
• between 7 and 9 euro
• 9 shades available

I'll be adding to my collection with Tempting Taupe next! 

Has anyone else tried this? What did you think?

Clinique Anti Blemish Foundation

I bought this foundation in the hope it would conceal my blemishes and not irritate them, and it does both. It contains Salicylic acid to work on your problem areas all day long. Salicylic acid seems to work well for me, especially if its in a product form Clinique! I wear the shade 01 Fresh Alabaster which is the lightest shade but it is still a bit too dark for me. Its also a very pink foundation which is the only thing I don't love about it. With some good blending down the neck and concentrating the majority of the product in the center of the face, lessening the density approaching the hairline it looks pretty natural.

Here's the jist;

• medium to full coverage
• oil free
• contains salicylic acid
• 30e for 30 ml
• available in 12 shades
• no SPF 

All in all I really like it because i know i can put it on and not worry that its making my skin worse. It feels really nice on the skin too!
