Summer
favourites; 2014 edition.
I cannot believe summer has come to an end! Summer 2014 flew
more than any year previous, part of me thinks it is because the majority of my
friends and myself included have part time jobs keeping us busy during the
weeks. So there was not a lot of what “will we do today” or “it’s so boring here
there’s nothing to do”. Instead there was a lot of “I can’t, I’m in work” and
my personal favourite “I can’t stay out late, I’m in work tomorrow”. All of
these comments are light-hearted because it is great that we all have jobs
because they are SO hard to find at the moment. However, even though I may have
missed a few nights out I have still seen my friends just in more sober and
chilled settings. Without the night out money I have also been able to make
myself feel better by ticking off my summer wish list! So here are the beauty,
skincare and fashion items I have been loving through May, June, July and August
2014!
Hair care; Charles Worthington hair mask.
Skincare; Neutrogena
2in 1.
La Roche Posay; Toleriane.
The above products have been talked about a lot in the past
few weeks here on callmeclaz so I won’t bore you all with repetition, but
surely it shows how much I adore these products! It wouldn’t be a honest
favourites without them.
Makeup; Mac; MAC
paint pot in quite natural
Nars; Copacabana.

This was also on my wish list and craving that summer glow I
caved and bought this too! Nars Copacabana makes my makeup luminous and I
always get a compliment when I wear it under my foundation. The liquid
highlighter radiates the skin and gives a gorgeous natural glow.
Bourjois; lip
velvet pink ping.

After watching a weekly vlog of vivanna does makup sporting
this shade I rushed out the next day and picked it up. Pink is my favourite
colour I adore almost every shade of it but for something bold I love a
florescent pink lip, it is so girly and fresh on a majority of skin tones you
just can’t go wrong! This lip stain is exceptionally long lasting and easy to
apply. it is a must if you have not tried at least one colour from this rouge
edition velvet line.
Soap and glory; solar powder.
I adore this bronzer it is the perfect bronzer for paler
tone skins and doesn’t leave that dirty orange bronzer colour! I have hit pan
with mine so I will need to pick up another soon!
Urban Decay; Naked
eye shadow original pallet buck
This is my most worn eye shadow from all of my naked pallets,
it is a gorgeous warm brown that can be worn in so many different ways. I have
hit the pan on this colour so the next time I am near a urban decay stand I
will defiantly be picking this up.
Rimmel;
Scandalise(eyes) eye pencil, Kate moss bronze shade.
This is the easiest eye pencil to use as a wash of colour
over your lids if you are in a hurry, they are so easy to blend and very long
lasting. I picked up two other colours in my most recent trip to boots
yesterday and I can’t wait to try them out!
Fashion; Clothing.
Kimono and shift
dress combo; from various shops.
I have been a lover of kimonos for years now, I love that
you can dress them up dress them down. They add a chic and boho element to any
look which I am seriously loving this season. However, they blew up this summer
and everyone including people who said they didn’t understand the kimono trend
and or didn’t like kimonos are now wearing them! Which always happens people
are so hypocritical when it comes to fashion, yet they always hop on the band
wagon in the end! I have a variety of kimonos and shift dresses but my
favourites are the two featured in the picture above. This kimono is so gorgeous
with the intricate patterns and perfect combination of black and white seen
throughout the piece. I adore swing dresses because they are so flattering, so
comfy and extremely easy to pair without almost anything. My favourite is a
swing dress teamed with a kimono for that extra girly boho look.
Shoes; Nike free runs.
I had been lusting after some nice runners for a while and
never been able to justify paying the price for the ones I liked the most.
However, I bit the bullet in June when I was breaking some new boots in, while
I was in work.. Very bad idea! I lasted around four hours into a nine hour
shift before I caved and hobbled up to champion sports to buy a pair of
runners. I haven’t regret them since, I am so in love with them they are so
comfy and go with everything. I wear them all the time!
Black converse.
I can never go a summer without wearing converse, they have
been a shoe staple in my collection for so many years, and they go without
absolutely everything.
Accessorises;
Perfume; DKNY summer
limited edition 2014.
My lovely mam bought me this perfume as a little treat when
she was on her way home from London and I love it so much. The scent is subtle
and sweet which is perfect for summer! DKNY perfumes don’t seem to stay around on
my skin for long but I still love it and will continue to wear it, thank you
mam!
Nails; Dior. Nuit
970

This is my perfect nail colour. Even though it is a vampy
autumn winter shade I still wore it to death this summer, it is my favourite
nail varnish of all time. I was on the hunt for this colour for years
and my gorgeous cousin picked it up for me at the start of summer, a week
hasn’t gone by when I haven’t worn this!
Bag; River island
bag.
It has been my staple bag since Tara bought it for me as a
Christmas present and it seen me through summer too! You can never go wrong
with a black tote they are a must!
Candle; Yankee
candle in black coconut.
The fresh scents from Yankee candle are my ultimate
favourite ones, I find they have a stronger scent then the rest. This is a
gorgeous musky scent but sweet at the same time. The candle smells the whole
room up and is lovely and calming.
So they were my skincare beauty and fashion favourites from
summer 2014!
