NARS Laguna Bronzer, on the Next Hype.






Yeah yeah, I know it's been ages! I've been extremely busy finding a job, keeping up with college (art most of the time!) and other things, mainly seeing my boyfriend and I just haven't had any time whatsoever to get a new blog up!
ANYWAY. My lovely mother bought me this bronzer as a sort of well done present for finally passing my driving theory after my fourth attempt (ha what am I!?), which was a huge relief because, as you can see, I was scraping up the last morsels from my last one and it was killing me that I could see nearly all the pan. Let me just say, this bronzer is 100% the best bronzer I have ever used. It's natural looking, great for contouring, doesn't go patchy, easy to blend and I could list about a million more things!
I reach for this bronzer every single day, ever since buying this I feel like my makeup routine isn't complete without it. The first one I bought was from Florida when I went in April so it has lasted me a good 5/6 months, which I think is great value for money especially with the quality of it too. I'm so thankful that it lasts a long time, it helps me justify the fairly steep price tag yay! It's the perfect balance between shimmer and matte, giving it a more natural look and the actual colour of the bronzer ius beautiful too, it helps create a gorgeous bronzed look rather than going orange on the skin like a lot of drugstore bronzers tend to! NARS packaging is my all time favourite, it's so sleek and glamorous and if I could afford to buy all my makeup from NARS just based on the packaging alone, I would definitely do it. If you're looking to buy this bronzer, it's available in Selfridges, NARS website, Asos and Space NK.
Have you ever tried Laguna??

I've decided that I'll actually write more personal on this blog on these type of posts every so often now, so it doesn't become tooooo serious!
I didn't have too much of a busy bank holiday weekend, but I never really do to be honest, not being 18 is actually such an inconvenience a lot of the time. But only 3 months until I am 18, wahoo! I spent the whole of Sunday at my house with my boyfriend and then the Monday it was one of my best friends birthdays so we went on a little shopping trip to Bury and had Nandos too, highlight of my week. Me and my boyfriend are hoping to go bowling and to Nandos tomorrow (again, yay!).
How was your Bank Holiday weekend?

Weekly Wishlist #1


1. Zara Studded Leather Shopper - I'm in dire need of a new college bag for when i go back in September so hopefully i'll be able to get my hands on this before then!

2. Origins Brighter By Nature Peel - On the Origins website, they claim that this is best for dark spots & discolouration. I've suffered with bad skin for a large sum of the past few years going back and forth between varying products and antibiotics to help clear it up. Only recently have I started using origins products that have actually made such a massive difference and now I just want everything. Because of my bad skin, I've been left with scarring and reading the reviews on the website for this, it seems to be the best thing out of the origins collection to help diminish the scars but with such a hefty price tag (£30!!!!!), I'm not too sure how soon i'll be buying this.

3. NARS Laguna Bronzer - Yes, i am another one of those people who have joined onto the hype of this bronzer. Back in April, I was on a family holiday to Florida and mum decided to treat me in Sephora to one thing and this is what I chose before I had any idea of the huge buzz around this product and it's safe to say that this is the best bronzer I've ever used and unless i find something else that's even better (doubtful) this will be a must-have product for my every day makeup! I need to repurchase this very soon as mine is on it's last legs :(

4. MAC 109 Small Contour Brush - I currently use a cheapo blush brush, that malts all over my face when I put on my bronzer and blush and frankly it is getting right on my nerves. I don't own any proper MAC brushes apart from the mineralize collection ones which are brilliant so I may need to invest in this brush too.

5. Office Nighthawk Boots - When I first saw these boots in the Office shop in Manchester, I fell in love with them! They are so similar the extremely expensive yet bloody gorgeous Chloe studded boots that a lot of celebrities have been seen wearing and I need them. Hopefully, i'll be able to talk my mum into getting these bad boys for me!  

What's on this weeks wishlist for you?
