Little Book of Beauty: Summer Wishlist: Jewellery and Beauty

Yesterday I did a post of the clothes I'm wanting, no craving to purchase for my holiday, today I'm doing a post containing the jewellery and beauty products I intend to purchase for my holiday. From statement rings to even more Essie, I'm loving my golden jewellery and new vibrant nail varnishes this summer.

This gorgeous cross ring bracelet is only £8.50 from Topshop, and i love it, it is very simplistic but still so pretty. I think this will look lovely with a white maxi dress and some tan sandals. Summer perfection!

This £16.50 topshop stone diamond hand chain is one of my favourite pieces of jewellery on the topshop website right now, they are so pretty yet have something so tribal and edgy about them. I think these type of light yet heavy at the same time pieces of jewellery are best paired with chiffon dresses and light sandals, not forgetting the remix bun with a twist!

This next rather gorgeous yet inappropriately named ( in my eyes ) beauty is the topshop 'slave linked cuff' (see what I mean, it feels a little, inconsiderate, but I'm over sensitive! ) It can be found in topshop for £12.50 and will look lovely with any outfit, but I'm thinking something bright, like an orange mini.

This next crossed gold (are you noticing a pattern here?) bracelet can also be found in topshop for a very reasonable £8.50. I think this is best worn on its own to achieve the simple but beautiful, LBD and gold jewellery look.

I'm loving gold handlets right now and I think this is one of the prettiest I have come across, with the simplicity of the chain with the statement cross, it is stunning. I would pair this £6.50 handlet with almost anything, it is very versatile, from denim shorts and a simple top to a beautiful evening dress, this will suit all outfits. Find it in Miss Selfridge.

I've been wearing this in silver for years, from God knows wear though as I've been sneaking it from my mums jewellery box. I'd love to have one of my own as it is gold (my favourite summer colour) and it even matches the ring I got for my eighteenth birthday! This again is the type of bracelet you never have to take off, it will go with everything. It is also only £5 from Miss Selfridge!

Ever since I saw the insanely gorgeous pictures of flawless Victoria Secrets model Candice Swanepoel, I have been lusting for a gorgeous body chain to wear on my holidays. Unfortunately, as i had hoped, the beautiful body doesn't come with the chain, but hey, a girl can dream! This diamond plated beauty is from Miss Selfridge and is £18.50, a little pricier than my other choices, but in my eyes worth it. Wear with a simple vest and shorts or you'll look over crowded.

This little beauty is on sale on ASOS for £9.50, complete save if you ask me! I'm loving these kind of rings this summer, I'm not sure what it is about them I just find them so glamorous. Wear this with some stunning 'Fear or Desire' orange nail varnish by Essie.

Another sale item of ASOS, this one is down to £11, I'm loving gold arm cuffs this summer, with a capital L. I think they make every outfit and I intend to overuse this until the day it dies. Wear with anything, literally .. except silver jewellery maybe .. unless you know something I don't about the art of pulling off the silver and gold jewellery look? If so please let me know, it would make my mornings far less complicated and decision filled.

Another ASOS sale item, stunning trio of cross rings for £6, perfect with a simple white maxi dress.

At £14 I can't resist this summery lipstick, I love mac, I love red lipsticks and I love pretty lipstick cases, so this ticks all my boxes. I cannot wait to wear this on the Turkish beaches with my sunhat. (i dont suit hats, at all, but I figure I can get away with it in Turkey, nobody will know me, right? )

I've heard such good things about Revlon: Just bitten lip balm and stain, so when I saw it was only £5.99 in Boots, I couldn't help myself. The perfect colour and lasting stain for the Turkish heat.

This used to be my all time favourite lipstick, until I fell out of love with it. I recently rediscovered it and cannot get enough. Peachy corally lipsticks are perfect in the heat at giving the glowy 'beach babe' look and I can't get enough. Only £4.49 from the Barry M website itself, I will be stocking up on this lipstick this summer!

I've been reading up on new mascaras, and have come across this. An oldie, but a goodie .. from my reading, I have discovered that this little beauty of a mascara, creates the exact look I'm aiming for. As my lashes are already pretty long and black, all I need is a little 'va-va-voom' and I think this is going to be my go-to item this summer. Granted I haven't tried it yet, so i'll review when I have, but I have high hopes for it! Get it for only £7.99 at Superdrug.

Because on holiday I tend to tan pretty well, I can't be doing with much foundation, I need my skin to still be able to breathe, while still being even and flawless, near impossible. But I'm giving this item a go, a light intuitive touch bb cream in a rather hopeful darker tone (for when I tan) should do the trick! £14.49 from Superdrug.

I'm looking to my all-time favourite make-up brand for this summers blusher. NARS penny lane blush, an acceptable £21 and it just looks beautiful, I think a light dash of this is the exact glow I want to produce this summer! Get yours from Space NK!

I couldn't go anywhere without this beauty, my palmers cocoa moisturising body butter. Which not only moisturises your skin, it gets rid of stretch marks and scars too. Did somebody say beauty saint?! I think so! It is only £3.75 from Superdrug, get it now, I assure you, you will not be disappointed. (review on this to come)

For those first few hot Turkey nights, when I'm just not feeling brown enough, I'll be reaching for the £5.99 Rimmel instant tan sun shimmer from superdrug. This is easy to put on and easy to take off, it does the job at hand while not making you too dark! I heavily recommend this, and this always does the job more efficiently than the more ahem pricier products that I have tried!

My three top nail varnishes of my holiday are all by my ultimate favourite, Essie. And these are:

And these are all $8 from http://www.essie.com/nail-colors/ (about £5 to us Brits!)

And last, but not least, my sun lotion pick of the year .. This summer I'll be reaching for my Malibu suncare range, the smell is just gorgeous and I love the tan I get when using the SPF15 Bronzing Tanning Oil!
