A few festival essentials

I kept meaning to post this actually before I went to V festival but was super busy and just didn't have time, how bad of me:( But I just wanted to share a few of my festival essentials that i would not have been able to survive the festival weekend without! 


LANTERN- Once you've returned back to your tent you will be thankful you remembered one of these bad boys as it is completely pitch black so unless you like getting ready in the dark, this is suggested ;)

BABY WIPES AND CLEANSING WIPES- A baby wipe shower is the best your going to get im afraid. These are a must as they come in so handy for everything haha! And for keeping your skin a little healthy, cleansing wipes should do the job by removing any left over make up and avoiding blocking pores with dirt. 

SMALL STANDING MIRROR- I recently found out how difficult it is to do you make up without a mirror that stands up properly so making sure you have a good one of these is important and will make life much easier in the mornings haha! Make sure you also get a big enough one so you can make yourself look somewhat decent on festival mornings. 

WELLIES- An obvious one, but seriously... if it rains and you dont have a pair of these then i feel sorry for you. I dont know what i would have done without these (probably have lost my shoes somewhere in the mud), but yeah make sure you have a good pair of wellies with you always along wit ha few pairs of welly socks!

A LITTLE RUCKSACK- This was probably my essential for the whole weekend. I took it everywhere with me and fitted everything in it:) I did get a little paranoid about it in the crowds but made sure i pulled it really tight and put a jacket on top of everything inside it, which became super annoying when i wanted to get something out, but did keep my valuables safe and sound ;).

Sprayable body lotion? whattttt

After saying 'i want to try that' everytime i went into boots, i finally bought the new Vaseline moisturiser. Its called 'Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturiser' and comes in a deorderant like can and was pretty amazed when i saw this, i mean sprayable moisturiser sounds pretty fun. I really want to try and start moisturiser more because im so so terrible at it and find it really tedious and boring so when i saw this i thought it must be a more quicker way of moisturiser so thought id give it a whirlllllllll.. 

I actually really like it and it absorbs instantly so your not waiting around for ages for it to dry and you dont get that horrible sticky feeling! It smells soooo nice and i think im pretty obsessed with spraying it hahaha. 

This was £4.99 from boots and also does two other scents. :)

Mini Superdrug Haul...

After watching a drugstore haul by Zoella on you tube, i had a few things i wanted to pick up next time i went into Superdrug. These are all things recommended by Zoe in one of her recent drugstore hauls and i was pridddy excited to try them out

The first thing i wanted to pick up was the Bourjois bronzing primer. This is very similar to the Chanel 'Soleil Tan Chanel' but is a third of the price. After using it for a few days i am very happy with this product as the primer just blends into your face without making you look a lovely orange colour, but gives a light glow under your make up. It makes a perfect smooth base to apply your makeup too. It is also good for wearing alone without foundation so would be perfect on holiday if you don't want to wear too much heavy make up.

This was on offer in Superdrug for £6.99 from £9.99. 

The next things i was super excited about buying and have been for awhile are the Gelly nail varnishes by Barry M. I had heard many amazing things about these nail varnishes and was shocked id never bought one before. I was not disappointed, they are so nicely coloured and gives an amazing shine to your nails and they dry really quick too. I was expecting them to last longer then they have without chipping but i just think that im rubbish with keeping my nail varnish intact! I was only going to buy one of them but could not decide on just one colour and Superdrug had a 3 for 2 offer on Barry M nail varnishes so it would have been rude not to buy three and there will be no doubt i'll be going back buying a few other colours. I bought passion fruit, prickly pear and green berry and they were £3.99 each. 

Passion Fruit

The last thing that I bought from Superdrug was this eye shadow pencil from Collection in the Vanilla Sky colour. I really want to try and start wearing eye shadows again and i thought this would look really pretty in the inner corners of the eye and will just automatically bright up my eyes. I will also use this as a highlighter, using it under my eyebrows and blending it in. They are quite creamy and I will definitely be using this more with my daily make up routine :).
