Today I thought I would show you some hairstyles that I think look really nice. There are 4 all together and I really love them.
1.  The first hairstyle is a half up, half down bun.
First you want to take the section of hair at the top of your head, then tie it with a hair bobble. Next twist the hair that is tied up and spin it into a bun on the top of your head, secure it with a bobble and add in some bobby pins to adjust the shape until your happy with it.
2. Secondly is two Dutch Braids, I love this hairstyle and have been wearing it a lot recently.
Split you hair down the middle so you have a middle parting. Then take a small section and start braiding it but every braid you do add a small section of hair. Keep doing it till you have no more hair to braid and then braid normally.
3. Next is a hairstyle my mum used to do for me when I was younger, Space Buns.
First put your hair in a middle parting and then bring both sides up into high or low bunchies. Then twist each of the bunchies into  a bun and add some bobby pins. I then pulled out a few sections of hairs at the front.
4. Last is a hairstyle that I love, it is two Dutch Braids to the back of the head.
Again put your hair into a middle parting and then take a small section of hair at the front of your head, then Dutch braid it but going directly backwards, stop when you get to the back. Then join both the braids together and tie them.

So that was 4 hairstyles, let me know if you try any of these.

As I'm on holiday from the 3rd to the 21st of August I thought it would be a good time to do a 'What's in my travel bag?'

First of all my bag is the Adidas Tricot bag in Navy Blue. I absolutely love this bag, it fits everything I need in and I really like the way it looks. For the airport I much prefer something on my back than on my shoulder as it's just way easier.

In the front pocket I keep all my electronics that I want to take so I have my iPhone, my iPod just for in case I want to go on it and my DS which takes up time in the car and on the plane. I also have a case with all mine and my brothers DS games in.

In the main section there is a pocket so in there I have a note book, my book which is the Abundance of Katherine's by John Green which looks really good and then my sunglasses from Spain a couple of years ago.

Still in the main section I have a mini pencil case from a old school bag from Roxy which fits quite a lot in, then I have my headphones from Pioneer. I also I have some Strawberry laces for the plane.

Next I have my Zoella collar bag and I keep hair things in, so hair bobbles, pins and a flower crown from New Look. I also I have a little red box which contains jewellery. I have my Ted Baker body spray which smells incredible and my hair brush.

 Last but not least is my makeup, I keep it in my Zoella 'Just Say Yes' makeup bag. So first I have my Makeup Revolution Iconic 2 Eyeshadow palette which is gorgeous, I also have my Colorsport eyeliner and my Kiko 401 liner. For mascara I'm taking my favourite at the moment L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes and my Technic clear mascara. I'm taking my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent and my Seventeen Instant Glow highlighter in Pink Bronze which is stunning. For lips I have the Tanya Burr I Found Nemo lipgloss and some Technic Juicy Sticks in light pink, bright pink and red.

So that is everything I'm taking on my holiday. Where are you going on holiday?

Last month I didn't really love too much things, but the things that I did I'm going to share with you today.

The first item is a mascara this is the L'Oreal Million Lashes. This is amazing, it really lengthens your lashes and makes them really volumized without making them clumpy, which is exactly what I look for in a mascara.

Next is a lip liner which I have been wearing on its own. It is the Rimmel lip liner in Eastend Snob. This lip liner is not the easiest to put on but with a little bit of lip balm it goes on so easy, it can also be quite drying but I don't mind it too much as the colour is a beautiful pink. Also if you aren't a fan of matte lip products try a lipstick over the top or a clear lip gloss.

Thirdly is the game everyone is playing, Pokémon Go. I have been really enjoying this game. If you haven't played it defiantly go and check it out. If you don't know what it is, you have to walk around and try to catch Pokémon, you can also crack eggs and take over gyms.

My last favourite is a Dorothy Perkins chocker. This one is gold with a golden circle in the middle. It is simple but looks really nice with most outfits.

What have you been loving recently?

As Summer is coming round I have been doing a little bit of shopping. The things I am going to show you I have collected over the last couple of days and I love everything.

First of all I got a Bomber jacket from New Look. Every time I went in I have said I wanted one so bad. So I picked up a black one. This one is thin and super comfy and I love it a lot.

Secondly is a some shorts from Peacock, they are denim and have pockets on the front and back. These are so comfy and I can't wait to wear them lots and lots.

This next thing is also from New Look and it is this cropped blue with white stripes top. It is thicker but it is cut in a Summer like style also it is so soft.

From Boots I got this brick highlighter by Seventeen I got it in the colour Pink Bronze. This highlighter is gorgeous and it looks beautiful on. The bottom two shades are slightly golden and the top two are more pink, but together they are amazing.

The last item I bought was a white nail polish from New Look. I got it in matte as I thought it would look really nice. I wanted a white nail polish as in the Summer when you have a tan white looks incredible.

There are loads of different beauty brands that I would love to try out, but these are a few of the ones I liked the most.

Nyx - Nyx is a brand I would love to try especially the Soft Matte Lip Cream's or the Butter Glosses. They have a lovely colour range and I would really like to try them out, as they look incredible.

Mac - I know a lot of people have tried out Mac but its one of those brands that I've never actually purchased. I have tried one of my friends Soft and Gentle which looks amazing but I would love to one day try some lipsticks.

Too Faced - Too Faced things look so pretty and I would definatly like to try the eye shadow palettes. The peach and chocolate ones are the ones that stand out the most to me at the moment. And even better they are scented!

Makeup Revolution - This brand I haven't really looked at too much but it does look really nice. I have a makeup palette which I do love, but I do want to try out more. The brushes look lovely and the so do the other palettes.

Boujois - Bourjois is a brand that I think always looks lovely. The blushers and bronzers look absolutely lovely. And the packaging is so nice to look at.

Sleek - From Sleek I think that the blushers and eye shadow palettes look gorgeous. The Rose gold Sleek blusher for me is the one that has caught my eye a LOT. The packaging is similar to Nars but I really like it.

Today, I'm going to tell you about my Summer makeup look and how I do it. This is a light natural eye with a flick and a pink lip.

 First of all I do a light sweep of powder across my entire face, I used the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent 001.

After I use the Tanya Burr Hollywood eyeshadow palette, I take 'Nude Delight' all over my lid and then 'Bookworm' in the corner of my eye, and then blend it out.

Next, I take this Colorsport eyeliner which I mentioned in my June Favourites, and draw on a slight flick. I then add the Little Mix by Collection Mascara to my top and bottom lashes.

Last of all I take the Natural Collection Lip gloss in Caramel Short which I love onto my lips.

And that is my makeup look.
