They really shine with creativity but in a chic way and I love them for that. The latest Summer 2.0 collection has definitely caught my attention, in particular, this wonderful large bronzer which I own a similar version of but have just hit pan on after 2 years?! Available in 2 shades the lighter shade (shown above) is ideal for pale skin and can be used over the face, as light contour and over the collarbone area. This may seem on the pricey side however with 20g of baked powder goodness this will last years! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.kikocosmetics.com/en-gb/make-up/limited-editions/summer-collection/Highlighting-Drops-01/p-KC0470106100144" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">KIKO Summer 2.0 Highlighting Drops in Golden Shell</a></b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>�11.90 KIKO online or in-store</b></span></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another product within the Kiko Summer 2.0 collection that I've been drawn to are these amazing highlighter drops.

Not only is the compact beyond aesthetically pleasing but the shade is so soft and flattering, not to mention how finely milled the powder is. So I must expand! I could go with the same blush in another shade but with the above pretty available I've totally swaying towards that.

I will admit I did judge the scent heavily before smelling it but somehow this lily of the valley scent is much more floral and pretty than I ever expected it to be.

Personally the more refreshing the better! Which is why I have my eye on the latest edition to the Gerard cosmetics setting spray range (along with a coconut scent) which I have a feeling will be super juicy smelling and lovely to use in the warmer months. I've also heard really good things about this range of setting sprays in general and with my oily t-zone I think I need something like this. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://theordinary.com/product/rdn-glycolic-acid-7pct-toning-solution-240ml" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toning Solution</a></span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">�6.80/240ml Deciem online</span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lastly, a new toning product I'm dying to get my hands on. This has been dubbed the cheaper alternative to my much loved Pixi Glow Tonic and is in fact slightly stronger. As a daily user of Pixi Glow (�18.00/250ml) I'm eager to see how this product fairs against it and if it truly is a dupe.

Perfect for spring/summer and adding that fresh glowy look to the cheeks that is oh so flattering.  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Milani Powder Blush in Blossom Time Rose</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">�12.00 Beauty Bay <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/cosmetics/milani/powderblush?utm_source=google%2Bshopping&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=shopping%2Bfeed&selectedSku=MILA0013F&ctyid=gb&gclid=Cj0KEQiAuonGBRCaotXoycysvIMBEiQAcxV0nPjn8d_hX19dVO1AVFfzrgZXZuqwuhuLRnY9dvMtdccaAvAa8P8HAQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>  </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How I didn't know <a href="http://www.beautybay.com/milani/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Milani makeup</a> had landed on Beauty Bay I do not know. But now that I do, I feel I need to try out some key pieces from the brand, the first being one the stunning rose petal blushers. I've heard so many good things about these blushers from fellow blushers and have a feeling it will be a treasured item amongst my slightly excessive blush collection. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Floral Embroidery Crossbody Bag </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">�17.98 eBay <a href="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332143897365?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>  </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now I wouldn't be surprised if you thought this pretty stunning bag was from Topshop or even more high end. I mean it's pretty special, right? Even as an avid eBay shopper I hadn't come across anything like this until now and for such an amazing price. I love everything about this bag; the size, the attention to detail, the colour and even the striped strap. Basically, it looks high-end! Should I buy this? I'm so so tempted! </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Skinnydip Peach Makeup Bag</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">�12.00 ASOS <a href="http://www.asos.com/skinnydip/skinnydip-peach-make-up-bag/prd/7623643?iid=7623643&clr=Multi&cid=18767&pgesize=36&pge=0&totalstyles=68&gridsize=3&gridrow=1&gridcolumn=3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>  </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This could easily be mistaken for another Too Faced x Skinnydip London collab (the official collab is all sold out sadly) as it matches the Too Faced Sweet Peach collection perfectly! But it's not and is in fact just another one of Skinny Dips creative makeup bags. I'll admit I just couldn't resist this, half because it reminds me of Too Faced, a beauty brand I can't get enough of, and because I can't help but think the peaches purposefully look like juicy bums! I have a few Skinnydip London makeup bags now and find them super durable and easy to clean and have the benefit of being clear so you can always find the item you want to use. Excited to fill this with my spring makeup essentials! Oh, and I want the <a href="http://www.asos.com/skinnydip/skinnydip-peach-key-chain/prd/7570530?iid=7570530&clr=Multi&cid=18767&pgesize=36&pge=0&totalstyles=68&gridsize=3&gridrow=1&gridcolumn=1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">matching peach key ring</a> as well now!  </span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Face Shop Disney Sheet Masks</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">�2.88 each eBay <a href="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/koreacosmetic?_dmd=1&_nkw=disney" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERE</a>  </span></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Lastly, I wanted to include a recent sheet mask find that's just too cute!

However come Spring/Summer I know my glorious Magic Foundation will be too high coverage and something slightly more sheer and dewy is in order. This is where Wonder Foundation steps in as from looking at many a before and after image of the foundation application on Google I c<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ould</span> instantly see why it's a popular choice for many.

Basically this is the cleanest and softest of scents that smells firstly of fresh linen with a floral hint. Just perfect for Spring and perking up your mood.

I don't know about you, but I've never seen a similar set from NYX before! If you love the brand, and who doesn't, then this is a great way to explore more products.

The reason for this is that they create the most true-to-scent candles I've come across, which really blow Yankee Candle out of the water if I'm honest.
