summer white-out



S/S14 is a white-out. This summer forget bold brights it's all about white.

White can make you look more tanned (who doesn't want that?) and is easy to spice up with neons or other bright colours.

Here are some of the top designers showing off they're crisp white spring/summer collections:

my everyday makeup

I thought I'd show you the makeup that I wear to school and at the weekend. So this is kind of a mini review of everything that I use.


Face
I use 'Olay essentials complete care moisturizer' first so that my makeup goes on easier. It's really good as it doesn't make your face really oily or anything like that. So next I use 'Seventeen 18 hour concealer in extra fair' to cover up blemishes or breakouts. It's probably the best concealer I've ever used, it gives you really good coverage and is super easy to blend. Finally, I use 'Rimmel London clear complexion powder' it's a transparent powder so you can keep applying it through the day and you won't look like a tangerine!

Eyes
On my eyes I use an 'AVON cosmic glimmerstick eyeliner in the shade Silver Eclipse' I draw quite a thick line then smudge it with my finger and it shows up all the little sparkles better. I loveeeee this. I honestly don't think I could live without it now! The last thing I use on my eyes is 'Rimmel London scandaleyes retro glam mascara' you've probably seen the shape of the applyer brush thing (whatever it's called) on the TV advert but if not it's a kind of hourglass shape. I love this mascara I buy it over and over again and it's a pretty good price as well.

Eyebrows
I really like big, thick, Cara style eyebrows but as my hair is quite a light blonde, so are my eyebrows. So I bought an eyebrow pencil which is 'Loréal Paris brow artist in the colour blonde' I am absolutely loving this so far. It's got 2 ends so one is the actual pencil and then the other is a fixing wax to stop them smudging or running in the rain (and you don't want running eyebrows). I think I might try either a darker shade or a kind of eyebrow mascara from Benefit, as I find the pencil isn't dark enough for me.
