BEAUTY: My Summer Fragrances

When summer comes back around I always find myself reaching for a couple of perfumes that sit on my shelf through the cooler months. This year there's been three that I've been gravitating towards more than the rest. Whilst my normal go to perfumes are the YSL Black Opium or the Vera Wang Lovestruck perfume there's been three others that have been stealing the lime light lately.
First up, I love Vera Wang Be Jeweled for spring and summer and I always whip this one out in the warmer months. It's very girly and light, I feel like it's a younger girls perfume so late teens and 20's - that's  my personal opinion. I find it very floral with a little bit of a musk to it, the perfume is described as 'top not of Be Jeweled seduce us with an irresistible blend of red currant, pomegranate and champagne. The heart adds fruity zests of passion fruit combined with pink honeysuckle and pink peony. Base notes complete the pink feeling with accords of pink crystal-sugar accompanied with a a sensual trail of musk and Australian sandalwood'.  I simply love it for spring summer as it's fresh and light, I don't like wearing anything too heavy especially when it is warmer outside or I find it to heady. If you're a little bit younger I would definitely recommend checking this perfume out. The packaging is really cute too shaped like a jewel with embellishments around the neck of the bottle.

Next up is Marc Jacobs Honey again every spring I pull this one back out. I find it's a little heavier than the previous but a little sweeter too. It's a lot more fruity than the previous as well in my opinion and I feel like anyone can wear this. It's described as 'Marc Jacobs Honey opens with the instantly catchy medley of pear and juicy mandarin. A sultry white floral heart of orange blossom and honeysuckle is brightened with luscious peach and apricot, before a melting honey, golden vanilla and smooth woods dry down mesmerises with blissful warmth'. I love this perfume, it takes me back to the summer where me and Scott became friends again before we started seeing each other so it's full of good memories for me.

Finally, the last fragrance is a lot cheaper but the one I've been reaching for the most this year at the moment and its the Zoella Beauty Sweet Inspirations Body Mist. I've been loving this product. It's very sweet and light and every time I wear Scott says I smell like white chocolate. It smells a little bit like baking but it inspired by macaroons so what do  you expect. I love it though and I've been non-stop wearing it lately. I would highly recommend this body mist.

BEAUTY: Good Things Manuka Honey Radiance Face Mask

Recently, my skin has been going through a dull spell yet again, whether that's because the weather's finally picking up and the sun has been shining I've found myself looking in Boots for products that will help brighten up my skin and make me look healthier than it is currently.

I spotted the Good Things Manuka Honey Radiance Face Mask the other week in the Boots and it was quite inexpensive so I thought I would pick it up and give it a try. I've read a few reviews about Good Things but it wasn't a brand that I was ever really drawn to but thought it was worth a try. I've been using this twice a week, applying it just before I get in the bath leaving it to dry for 5-10 minutes whilst I relax reading a book or simply listening to music. I then remove the mask with a damp cloth.

Since using this face mask I've noticed that afterwards my skin has looked a lot more glowy and healthier. I find that it doesn't make my skin feel tight afterwards which I really despise in face products but instead leaves my skin feeling really clean and fresh as well as soft. I would definitely recommend testing the Good Things Radiance Face Mask though if you are suffering from dull skin. I would buy it again if I was suffering with my skin looking tired.

What products do you use to look more radiant?
