Easy/Laid Back Summer FOTD/ OOTD/ NOTD

This is a bit of a mish mash post, as I felt my entire look today represented my entire look for summer, most days anyway. Not too much make up, something cool and comfortable and bright nails....

FOTD:
Face:
Avon Solutions Visual Perfection Tinted Moisturiser
Benefit Posie Tint
MAC MSF in Petticoat
ELF Makeup Mist and Set

Eyes:
MAC Paintpot in Vintage Selection
Avon Supershock Mascara
Avon Supershock Eyeliner

Lips:
Avon Glazewear Shine lipgloss in Pink Watermelon

Wearing lots of heavy make-up feels horrible on my face on a sunny day like today, so I usually opt for a tined moisturiser ahead of my usual foundation. Also the setting mist is a less cakey and more refreshing alternative to setting powder. A cheek tint is more ffective for summer as it stays put longer than a powder blush and gives a more fresh and natural look. I also dont want to bother with lots of blending of eyeshadows when Im sat in the sun all day so I jst sweep on a little of a paintpot and its simple and looks good all day. I love this lipgloss for summer as its so pigmented and gives a bright pop to my face.


OOTD:
My clothes are entirely from the River Island sale, shorts for £10 and vest for £4...BARGAIN. I love little demin shorts for summer paired with any vest top really. This is kind of my go to outfit for sunny days or on holiday. I jsut wore black flip flops from Accessorize and a pair of aviator sunglasses I found in New Look for around £4.

NOTD:
I just put on one coat of Barry M's Pink Flamingo this morning. It applies so well, for some reason even better than most of the nail polish I have from his brand. I put it on my toes too and I just love it for summer. Im more into bright nails rather than pastel nails for summer as I feel they really spice up your look and bring out a tan. This is my very favourite bright pink too.



Hope I didnt bore you with a loooong post! It feels good to be writing again :)
