Summer 2014 favouroites; Beauty, Skincare and Fashion


                                                 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

 

This is my favourite eye product of the moment. I had been lusting after this paint pot for so long and it was number one on my summer wish list, so I finally caved and bought it at the start of summer and it has been a staple in my Smokey eye shadow and any eye shadow look ever since. It is the perfect colour for my eyes complimenting the colour in every way possible. The warm brown makes them look exceptionally blue, I adore it.

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!

What have you been loving this summer?

Au revoir for now,
