Honolulu Bronzer & A Golden Face of the day!!

Today I did this post as half review/half FOTD (well yesterdays FOTD but blogger was playing up all last night and I couldn't upload any pics!) SO the new product I have is w7 Honolulu which is a bronzer and incedibly similar to Benefits Hoola, I have seen this on a few other blogs and so have alot of people so I thought i'd incorporate it into a make up look post aswell so it wasn't just about the bronzer.

 

W7 is a UK brand found in a few discount shops like Xtras/Savers/Bodycare but I bought mine online at Fragrance Direct for £2.25 and there is quite a few on Ebay that ship worldwide for all my non-UK readers. So above is the packaging its cardboard but very sturdy and super pretty I am a sucker for pretty packaging! And above also is the brush that comes with it which is so cute with its pink tips but unfortunatley it is also pretty useless so its been tossed to one side!

 It is a medium matte shade bronzer quite similar to my Rimmel Sunshimmer medium matte which as you may know is my current favourite bronzer, It is perfect for my olive toned skin but as it is quite light I think it will be best for light-medium tones and because it is matte it is ideal for contouring, if you're wanting a great wash of colour on your cheeks this isn't really going to do the job unless you build it up BUT as a natural easy everyday bronzer I think it is great, This is the swatch -

So the look of the day I thought I would do as yesterday was fairly sunny was a 'Golden Peach' one. I used a light peachy orange eyeshadow someone gave me from Marks&Spencers all over my lid and added the golden colour from the Sleek Original pallette on the crease and outer corners then I used black shadow applied with an angled brush for a soft alternative to eyeliner on my lashline and a Sleek kohl eyeliner pencil on my waterline and on my lips my Max Factor golden 'Tiramisu' lipliner and a tan/golden lipgloss which is Revlon Colorstay in shade Neverending Nude.

I also teamed it with my new fave hairband this golden flowers one which is perfect for summer and was only £1.50 for primark, You can see a better idea of the flowers with this below pic I LOVE it!! Its not the neatest on as I just shoved it on for the photos sake LOL.

Whilst in Primark I also picked up a few bits including these 2 cute pairs of earrings for summer which are soooo cute!

So as I was having a bit of a chill out day aswell as orange golden day I stayed in my new Snoopy vest-nightshirt and then I thought I had to match my nails to this look so I did! I am going to be doing a full Review and NOTD of this polish in a few days so look out for that :)

FREE Lipgloss in COSMOPOLITAN MAG plus a few random NOTDs.....with a HOTD (hair of the day!)

So to start off firstly I bought Cosmo today as it was £3.50 (UK) and had a free Missguided lipsplash in worth £5 I love Cosmo mag anyway as most girls do lol so this was a bonus,they previously have given away Missguided nail colours which I loved so was excited for this, they were doing it in 3 colours, Caramel the nude colour I got, Chill Red a vibrant looking red and a Clear, I have so many reds right now and really thought clear was quite pointless as I have clear gloss and theres only one shade of clear right?! LOL so opted for nude, plus the other half was in the supermarket with me and he gets annoyed at my indecisiveness so I was hurrying! 

Anyway all in all the Caramel one is abit pointless it goes on practically invisible although it does feel nice, really soft and non sticky and smells divine, if you're after a subtle hint then maybe you will dig it, im thinking maybe I should of got the Chill Red as it may have been more intensley pigmented but I dont think so for some reason, They are available HERE at £5 or 4 for £12 (the 3 i mentioned and an additional watermelon shade) I have also seen alot of these knocking around on ebay now for a couple of quid BUUT if you're in the UK you might aswell get the mag it's available for another week I think, anddddd beyonces on the cover WOOO :-)

Next up a HOTD (hair of the day) a style im sure you all know as I've mentioned it before but I am loooooooving as it is so simple and easy to do the 'Top Bun' I usually wear this messy but for the first time wanted it more structured as I had a girlie feathery top on and thought it would look quite cool ballet style I did pull a few strands out to relax it a little though,

I do recommend using a 'hair doughnut' to give the bun more oooomph and to structure it as my hair is quite long as its halfway down my back and fairly thick and on its own when I do a bun it's still quite a small crappy one LOL so yep you can pick these up for under £5 in superdrug/bodycare/wikinsons even pharmacies, My top which im in love with right now is from Primark its a light grey which I love for spring and has these cute fluffy/feathery shoulders they also had it in a pinky colour and it was around £6, 

 I teamed it with darker slate colour leggings and ugg boots with a denim jacket as it was quite cold today and rainy and also used my favourite flesh coloured bag at the moment which again is primark and was around £9

Next because I haven't done any in a while some random NOTD's I have been rocking the past weeks, first is the Revlon Rock one which I mentioned in my latest haul vid and post this was a lovely deep colour but chipped pretty easy so not a fan now LOL

 

And next the Stargazer Cerise colour is 162 and then a random Saffron gold particle polish over the top, I picked this up at a market stall for a pound if you google them you can find them for £2ish on ebay etc this one is quite sparse with the particles and really long to dry BUT then I got a normal just coral colour one and it was great coverage and colour so I will try more out fromm Saffron just maybe not the glitter ones

BeautyUK is next this is Smokey Lilac, I love beauty UK they do sometimes chip fairly east depending on shade but out of all mine this is long lasting which is strange LOL, I have the Sleek Lilac one which is quite bright and pigmented this is more grey and subtle and I love it, a bargain £1.99

I really am lacking on inspiration with nail colours at the moment so feel free to tell me what you're loving, I am wanting to get the Barry M coloured crackle ones and been eyeing up some summery China Glaze colours, and of course more BeautyUK and Stargazer as stargazer has amazing staying power mines stayed chip free for 4days at the moment!
