my summer essentials!

Since it has been incredibly hot in England lately, I decided to show what my summer essentials have been and what ive really been enjoying/using this summer!

                              My top six summer essentials.

Number 1- The body shop mango butter.
This body butter is incredible. In February I was lusting after the big tub but it cost so much. I bought one of the sample versions and it took me no time at all to finish it. Luckily, the big tubs were on offer recently and I picked it up. It is a perfect summer scent and it lasts all day. The smell lingers and you don't need to top it off with a fragrance throughout the day. The formula is absolutely great and after using this my skin feels so hydrated and soft. I don't know if this is just me, but I find that this product brings out your tan and works as an 'after sun' and leaves a lovely sheen. I am in love with it!

Number 2-  The Barry M gelly nail polishes.
These nail polishes are amazing! My two favourite colours are 'blueberry' and 'grapefruit' they are perfect summer colours. The polish sets so shiny and they stay put for at least a week. I'm so bad at picking at nail polishes but these are so hard to chip (bonus). I recommend them highly:)

Number 3- Toni and guy salt spray.
I've been loving this salt spray. You just spray this in your hair and it looks so nice afterwards. It is nice for the days where you don't want to put too much heat on your hair because it really gives you lovely, beachy waves. My hair has so much texture after using this. I am definitely going to get this again.

Number 4- Herbal essences hair masque.
I've never really used herbal essences products before, but recently I discovered the raspberry split end hair masque in Boots. Again, it was on some sort of an offer. I was looking for a hair masque because my hair has felt quite dry so it just needed a bit of pampering. My hair is also ombre which does dry out your hair and the sun doesn't really help. This hair masque is amazing! its a perfect summer smell. I leave it on for around 5-10 minutes and my hair feels so soft afterwards.

Number 5- floaty shorts!
It has been way too hot here recently to wear trousers, leggings etc.
I am very insecure about my legs and I sometimes steer away from shorts. I have found that floaty shorts are flattering on my legs. They are very light and keep you cool through-out the day.


Number 6- the original source shower gel
I bought this in the scent 'vanilla milk and raspberry' and oh my, it is the nicest smell ever. I cant really smell the raspberry, in my opinion it smells more like strawberries and cream. But none the less, it is amazing. I've found that the smell sticks and I kind of find myself smelling my arms haha. If you see it any where, smell it, its amazing. I love taking showers because of it. No doubt picking it up again.
