Glossier-Solar-Paint-Flare

Throughout my 10 years of beauty blogging, I’ve been prone to being slow off mark when it comes to trying out new makeup releases. It has to be something exciting for me to rush out and buy it or something that’s missing in my makeup routine. 


So when Glossier launched their new Solar Paint bronzer creme I surprised myself by ordering it within a day of spotting it online. This is because I’ve simply never seen a bronzer with such a precise applicator before (I’m sure they exist somewhere) and I’m currently missing a lightweight liquid bronzer in my everyday routine.  


I’m also a fan of any beauty brand that caters to fair skin and when I saw the lightest shade ‘flare’ I knew it was for me. 




With summer here I've been opting for long-lasting makeup products over what I would normally reach for, especially come hot days. This got me thinking to what the very best long-lasting makeup products actually are because let's face it, some products can be fading, melting off the skin or completely gone within a matter of hours after application.

Which is why knowing of good long-lasting makeup products is a good idea. From the best long-lasting primer from the drugstore to a lipstick with longevity that stays put through eating and drinking while still feeling comfortable on the lips. 

Here I have the best of the best that are all worth picking up if you have oily skin, a special occasion coming up or simply want your makeup to last.


I don't know about you but when summer rolls around I find myself wanting every new beauty launch however much makeup I already own! 

But reality says otherwise, which means if I want to add to my already bursting makeup bag I need to seek out high quality but low priced products that I'm sure I will use. Below is just that, a line up of new summer launches that I've already been loving, perfect for a guilt-free spend. 


Today I wanted to give a shout out to all the budget products that have been serving millions of beauty lovers for the past decade. With rising product prices in general, especially with newer launches, anything with rave reviews and an affordable price point is worth trying in my eyes.

So if some of these products are new to you then I highly recommend heading to your local supermarket, Boots or Superdrug and picking them up - I can almost guarantee you will love them and they won't break the bank!

Whether you will be making the most of the British weather from the comfort of your garden this year or have endless adventures booked, Summer calls for extra provisions. From adding to your summer wardrobe to protecting your lips, hair and skin from heatwave rays I decided it was time to round-up a few summer essentials that are too much of a bargain to miss out on! 

As will all my eBay posts I only recommended trusted sellers and items with free delivery! I also always include products I've purchased myself so where I have I will let you know. Also as I love putting my eBay posts together please feel free to let me know if you pick anything up or any themes you would like to see in future. 





This post is an advertised collaboration with Boots but all thoughts are my own

With a new season, like my wardrobe, I enjoy switching up my makeup bag. My favourite time of year to do this is Summer, I mean if there's a time to get experimental and fun with makeup then it's summer, right? So today I thought I would walk you through the makeup products from Boots I've been adding into my summer makeup routine along with a summer perfume ideal for everyday use and a nail polish I know I will be wearing all summer long!





Recently I've taken to wishing summer away in favour of Autumn. I'm such a homebody that I love nothing more than cosy days spent on the sofa with blankets (yes, plural) watching a seasonal drama or movie. However, I realised there's enough time for that when Autumn arrives and I really should embrace the last month or two of summer! 

So that is what I'm doing! Well, when it decides to stop raining that is. This means you can expect quite a few more summer themed posts here on Makeup Savvy, starting with my summer day essentials.
