The beauty map!

New research out today has revealed that beauty trends vary by area, with sales of specific products topping the scales in different cities. Fake tan sales are highest in Liverpool, Edinburgh ladies go the maddest for foundation and those from Cheadle buy the most mascara! Geordies buy the most moisturiser, Mancunians are addicted to nail varnish, ladies from Chelsea in London spend the most on facial serums and Bristol’s finest are the lipstick addicts of the UK! Other places topping the charts include Bluewater in Kent, where sales of facial cleansers are higher than anywhere else, Cardiff, where sales of blusher are 51% than the UK average and Solihull, where sales of lipgloss are 20% higher than the norm! Where are you from and what’s your must have product? x

 

Brighten up your weekend!

Urban Outfitters - £85

Now the sun seems to be hiding, we’ve decided that the easiest way to bring a little bit into our weekend is with this delightful dress from Urban Outfitters. It’s bright, bold and very, very glamorous, which means we love it! Priced at £85, it’s not the cheapest dress we’ve seen, but we think it will be an absolute summer staple! x

Cool coral!

We love coral nails and we love Body Collection’s nail varnish in that very colour!! It makes us feel and look cheerful and looks great with all of our summer outfits. All we need now is a little bit more sun! x

Treat yourself this Easter!

Well Easter is here and the mass consumption of chocolate is about to begin! If you want to treat yourself to something other than the dark stuff this weekend, we’d recommend you get yourself down to Primark and pick up this delightful maxi skirt! At only £18, it’s brilliant value for money and bang on trend, combining pleats and mustard. We love!! x

Oil up your hair!

At this time of year, we find our hair is often lacklustre and dry following months of cold winter days and the drying effects of central heating. So, to treat ours we’ll be making a homemade olive oil hair mask. Simply mix two eggs with five tablespoons of olive oil and apply to your hair, before wrapping in a warm towel for 15 to 20 minutes. Once it’s had time to fully soak in, just shampoo and condition as normal and voila, you’ll have much improved locks and all without having to splash too much cash! x

Shorts get floral!

Shorts - £10 from Primark

We love these gorgeous high waisted shorts from Primark! Floral and flattering means they’re a summer must for us, and at only £10 they’re easy on the purse too! x

Glow like you’ve never glowed before!

It’s getting hotter and the days are getting longer, which means it’s time to brighten up your complexion. If you want to get a stunning glow, without subjecting your skin to the sun’s damaging rays, then Body Collection’s bronzing powder and highlighter is the product for you!! Simply dust it onto your cheeks and temples to get a gorgeous, shimmery glow. At only £1.49, it’s a summer makeup must! x

Make your pout stand out!

Statement lips are going to be popular this season if the catwalks are anything to go by and it’s a look that anyone can achieve. You simply need to choose the right lip shade for you. 

This look is bold, so you need to go for a colour that will really make your pout stand out, whilst at the same time flattering your skin tone. We love our Technic range of lippies, which boasts a variety of colour popping shades that cost just £1.25 each! Keep the rest of your makeup toned down and let your lips do all the talking! x 

Nail the latest trend – two tone

Two tone nails are so fashion right now, with the likes of A-lister Zooey Deschanel  sporting them.

We love this trend so much and it’s an easy way to quickly update any look. Simply choose your colours – we’ve got loads on lovethymakeup - and go! Apply the first colour all over your nails, before finishing off with the other colour on your tips. Voila – on trend and gorgeous looking nails!!
