What you need my dear is a good scrub...

Savvy style sister just loves a good scrub. 

And her fantastic Soap and Glory products do just the job. Not only do the products leave you feeling scrubbed and cleansed to perfection, their hilarious packaging will have you in stitches, revolutionising your skincare regime!

For an evening of perfect pampering, Savvy style sister starts by running a lovely steamy bubble bath using Calm One Calm All, £5.11. Whilst the tub fills its time to turn your attention to your face. 

Start by dampening your skin and apply a generous squeeze of The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser, £9.19. Massage all over your face for at least a minute and then leave on for a further 60 seconds. Feel it melt away your muckiness! Wash off with the muslim cloth provided.

Next it's time to scrub yourself like you never have before! Apply a tiny dab of  Scrub Your Nose In It, £7.40  to your T-Zone and any other problem areas and massage in then rinse. If your skin begins to develop a rosy hue then you're doing it right. If your interested in the science bit, then exfoliating helps prevent large pores and blemishes. 


Now we move onto the mask. The Fab Pore Facial Peel, £7.15 is like a celebrity chemical peel (without causing the hole in your bank balance or frightening children post peel). The perfect anecdote to greasy and spot prone skin, rub into skin untill the green beads dissolve. Then jump in the bath and leave on for 15 minutes to work its magic. 

Now your in the tub it's time to treat your body. Smother yourself in Some Like It Hot, £7.92 and bask in the warming sensation of this body scrub. Exfoliating never felt so good!


So your out of the bath and your face mask is off, it's time to soothe your skin after all that action. Glow Job , £8.17 is a daily face moisturiser that leaves you with a gorgeous glow thanks to  its micro Bronzeburst beads. Finally, coat yourself in The Righteous Butter, £10.21 a sumptuous body butter that will leave your skin feeling silky smooth!

 

She's electric...

Step into summer and inject some va va voom into your wardrobe with this season's colour block trend. Not for the faint hearted, this look thrusts you right to the forefront of fashion with screaming colours and loud prints.

This asymmetric trapeze style dress, ASOS £45.00 will see you all the way through the summer, perfect for sizzling days and balmy evenings alike. 


However, if you think the look's just a bit too much for you, then Savvy style sister thinks the trend works just as well by picking some gorgeous colour blocking accessories and pairing them with a simple LBD like this H&M one, £14.99:

Benefit Beauty

                             

Savvy style sister's one make up indulgence has got to be Benefit cosmetics. Although quite pricey, they really are worth saving up your pennies for (and there's always a fantastic bargain to be had on popular Benefit products on ebay, just make sure you use a 100% rated, reputable seller).

Savvy style sister make up bag staple is Hoola Bronzer, unlike most bronzers which contain shimmer particles and tend to make you look tangoed rather than tanned, this bronzer is perfectly matte giving you a golden glow fit for goddess. 

Another great buy is the Benefit Primpcess kit. Containing a mini bad gal mascara, 2 powder eye shadows, creme shadow, concealer boi-ing and eye brightener, its all you need to achieve a fabulous, flirty eye in minutes- it even comes with a handy application guide!

Just add a sweep of Dallas blush to the apples of your cheeks, a slick of Bad Gal mascara to your lashes and a spritz of Laugh with me Lee Lee to complete your fresh and fabulously feminine look.
