Summer Essentials

This summer I've been meaning to write this post but other posts got in the way but I'm doing it now, so here are my summer essentials.

Since it's been getting a lot hotter I've stopped using blush and I've really started to enjoy using bronzer. Usually I prefer blush as it makes me look a lot healthier as naturally I don't go red or flush in any way. But then it dawned on me that people wear blush to kind of give the effect that they've been out in the cold and have lovely flushed cheeks afterwards, so by using blush in summer means your flushed cheeks can't be from the cold therefore it must be from heat, meaning it gives a kind of sweaty look, if you like this look then by all means go for it but I've been really loving being all bronzed up! I know a lot of people like to contour and I do do this slightly however I mainly just dust the bronzer where the contour would usually go, on my temples and my forehead using the real techniques blush brush.

Another thing I have been loving are the Victoria Secret body splashes. I always find that body splashes are a bit nicer in the Summer than other times of the year as they're a bit lighter to wear and just easier for an all round spritz of smell. I bought a set a little while ago which had five of the body splashes in mini size (I gave one of the sprays to a friend as she liked the smell a lot more than I did so it's not in the picture, but it was a coconut smelling one), which was actually a good buy as it was only £17 and it's lasting me a long time. 

I have also really been liking high wasted shorts as I'd say 90% of my tops are cropped and I prefer not to have all my stomach on show so high wasted shorts are perfect. I also  find they can be really flattering if you have larger hips than you do ribcage part (I've never been great at science and body parts haha), but also with me i have quite a small ribcage part and I do have larger hips but I wouldn't say I'm blessed with a Kim Kardashian arse haha so high wasted shorts can help with enlarging too haha.

I'm going to the end this post here as it's become pretty long already and if I spoke about all my essentials it would last forever. But there's just a couple of my summer essentials.
