Summer is fast approaching and these are the perfect products to give your skin an instant energizer...


Kiko Face Skin Glow // The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz //The Balm Mary Lou Manizer // Lemons



Aloha fellow followers, I know what you are thing "Who is this stranger on here?" After being swamped with assignments I am finally back, and boy have I missed you guys!


1st year of university is nearly over for me, which means SUMMER TIME *fist pump, fist pump* I'm going to be honest here, we are all friends... well I hope we are. I wasn't someone that cared about their skin *slap on the wrist* but when you have a beauty obsessed friend it's easy to be convinced into purchasing "essential" products....Well they are definitely essentials now.

The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Spritz


Firstly this is summer in a bottle.. the smell is unreal! This facial spritz wakes your skin up, which is definitely something as a student who's been balancing work and assignments for the last month needs. Perfect to energise dull skin, as my skin was definitely lacking hydration and this is the ideal instant fix!


Kiko Face Skin Glow


I used to use Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer and while it made my make-up stay I felt it was lacking that umph due to it's silicone base. My make-up was staying on but I needed a base that had a glow, this is perfect highlighting base it's more moisturising as well. I  have found my foundation looks better due to the subtle glow underneath.


Lemon Water


I have been someone who religiously drinks anything fizzy, and I'm quite ashamed at the quantities I would drink. I am now on herbal teas and lemon water, and my skin after a week instantly looks less dehydrated and my skin actually has a glow. Plus I will now save a huge pennies as well, two benefits in one product. Winner!


The Balm Mary Lou Manizer 


If this was a blog post on the perfect packaging, this product would win hands down... (but we're not here to talk about packaging)


Before I used a liquid highlighter, and I have to say The Balm has converted me to a powder one, the champagne colour adds a more natural glow to my skin, which also being pale adds some colour especially when complimenting my bronzer. I can't believe I used to go through a make-up routine without highlighting as it livens your face so much.


It feels so good to be back on here, if you like you can follow me on Bloglovin, here and Instagram.  I can guarantee I won't be taking any long breaks on here for a while!


Thanks and I hope you enjoyed this post!
