Get your ball gown out

The past week has been crazy busy, thus the lack of posts. I had my dissertation presentation on Friday, which was my final university assessment (!!!). The evening was truly relaxing and included a booze cruise followed by the Univerisity Summer Ball on Saturday night. I wore a gorgeous green taffeta cocktail dress that I bought from a shop in Liverpool for £1 a couple years ago and hadn't until now had the opportunity to wear. If you ever get the chance you MUST go to Take Two - a unique store on Bold Street in Liverpool city centre that sells all sorts of garments that are slightly damaged. This dress had a broken zipper and was a size too big, but a little help from my trusty sewing machine cleaned it up nicely :-).

Beauty Bargain: Badger Organic/Natural Sunscreen

I am a huge TK Maxx fan for the clothes, shoes, candles, homeware and occasionally beauty products. You have to do some serious sorting through to find what you want and double check that it is unopened, but bargains are definitely there to be scooped up!

I was quickly nosing through and noticed this Badger SPF30+ Sunscreen. I have been searching for a natural sunscreen for a while and actually made it a bit of a mission to find one that day so when I saw this I knew it was meant to be. RRP is £16.99 I believe, which is quite a lot for only 87ml/2.9 fl oz but I paid just £4.99!

The tube claimed that the product is lightly scented with lavender, which I didn't mind. However, when I opened it up it smells of sea buckthorn (which I adore and personally prefer to lavender!) *heaven

The tube is perfect for carrying around in your bag, and is exactly the size I wanted for topping up sunscreen on the back of my hands, neck and chest throughout the day. The active ingredient is non-nano uncoated zinc oxide (18.75%) as well as the ingredients in the photograph below. Divine stuff, I highly recommend!


Fit and Flare

This is probably my most worn blazer and skirt. I don't always wear them together of course, but I like the way they look paired - a nice contrast of neutral tartan and stripes.
