I have recently discovered these amazing Flash Tattoos that come in a range of creative metallic designs. Flash tattoos are temporary and can last up to 4 days if looked after properly. They are inspired by jewelry and come in a range of pretty designs. They are the perfect way to add a little extra to your summer party out fit. Check out these examples below.

How to Curl Your Hair

I'm a girl with naturally straight, fine hair so attempting to curl it with any kind of hair tool has always been very time consuming and difficult. However the consistent photos of celebs walking around with their free flowing full head of curls kept me trying to achieve this 'hair dream'. (Think: Lauren Conrad's loose curls or Blake Lively's beachy waves)

Today I brought a new hair straightener, as after almost 10 years my trusty old GHD straightener had finally died.  There are now quite a few good straighteners on the market, I decided to try something new and buy a Sleek Finish straightener by John Frieda. The ceramic titanium coated plates are a little longer then on my old GHD and the round shaped ends makes it a lot easier to create curls. The other great thing about this straightener is that you can change the temperature on a small LCD screen, starting from 185 degrees celsius to a maximum of  235 Degrees celsius (max 455 degress fahrenheit) in just 15 seconds. It also comes with auto shut off encase you forget to turn it off. 

I'm happy to report that I successfully and easily created curls with this straightener, if I have learnt anything, it's that persistence and practise makes perfect....that and watching YouTube 'How to' videos & lots of hairspray!

Midi Skirts: Vintage & Ladylike

Midi skirts - skirts that sit at the waist and are calf length, have been around for awhile now and are available in a variety of styles and fabrics. The great thing about this style of skirt is that with the drawn in waistline, and longer hem it is flattering to every body type by emphasizing a women's natural curves - think 1950's silhouettes.

My favorite are these feminine examples below - although you can get more fitted styles too. Different fabrics and patterns can effect the way these skirts sit or look so best to try before you buy.

Review: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel - combination oily to oily

I've tried a few different face moisturisers over the last few years, but have always had the same problem: they are too strong and cause my skin to become oily and break out.

After getting a few different professional opinions, I decided to try Clinique as I have found some of their other products gentle in the past. I was recommended their Dramatically Different Moistursing Gel - "combination oily to oily skin". Although my skin is sensitive I wouldn't say it's overly oily on a daily basis, more that I have combination skin (T-Zone).

I've been using this product for around 6 months now, every morning (as a make-up base) & night (before bed) and am happy to say it hasn't caused my skin to break out or react at all. It's a very light weight gentle gel formula, and you only need a couple of pumps to refresh and hydrate your skin. This also means that the bottle lasts a long time! (added bonus).

If you have sensitive skin and are looking for a refreshing daily moisturiser, I would recommend this product. I order this from StrawberryNet every few months, their site is easy to use (plus free shipping!) and with every order you place you receive a loyalty discount.
