Summer Beauty Trends for 2017


Although it is Summer even if some days weather wise you would think otherwise its still a great time to try out different make up looks. Here are some of the 2017 summer make up trends that work for me: 

Smudged eyeliner
When it comes to eyeliner I've never been that good at it so now summer is here and smudged eyeliner seems to be a trend I can relax more about how my eyeliner looks. 

Dewy complexion 
When it comes to my foundation during the summer months I like to use one that has less coverage and one that makes me have a beautiful glow. I also opt for one that has spf 15 or above. 

Sheet Masks
I do love a good face mask and recently I've been loving sheet masks which are ever growing popular. I love them more than traditional clay or gel masks as they much more easier at applying and removing. 


Some other trends are: 

Dry Face Brushing
I've yet to try this however definitely plan on giving this a try anything that makes my skin look much better is worth trying. 

Electrolysis
I've tried waxing, shaving, hair removal creams and even threading however I'm yet to try electrolysis which is becoming a popular hair removal method this summer. 

Gradual in shower tan lotion 
This innovative product allows you to gradually and easily build colour over time. I've never been one for tanning however can see it being a great idea for those that love to self tan. 

Nails
Bright colours are popular in summer months. I've never been one for nail polish however since I was a bridesmaid in May I love the idea of sitting at nail stations and getting my toes painted a lovely bright colour.

What Blake Wore: Rockin Baby Spring/Summer Out of Africa Range


When it comes to clothing brands that Blake wears I have a few main brands I like to go to my favorites being F&F at Tesco, H&M Kids, Zara Kids and Next. Most of the clothing Blake owns are second hand clothing that I purchased on ebay etc but I do love getting him new bits to wear too. 

I also love finding brands that I have never heard of before and Rockin Baby is one of them. For Spring/Summer Rockin Baby have released their "Out of Africa" range that's available this April.  For every piece of clothing sold from the Rockin’ Baby collection,an item will be gifted to a child orphaned by Eboloa in West Africa. With the new spring/summer collection the company commits to continue their charity giving to help more people.

The Out of Africa range offers a range of bright and bold lion print tops and onesies, perfect for a day out or for creating your own safari -style adventures at home. With bright and colorful hues of turquoise, apple green and orange kids will be crazy for this fun fashion!  


I was sent two lovely items from Rockin Baby and my favorite has to be the vest which retails at £14. When it comes to the sizing the fit is just right, Blake has recently moved into size 18-24 months clothing and the vest fits perfectly on him. The vest is also is of good quality and I know this will last him awhile. 

I think the vest will look so cute in the hotter weather paired with denim shorts. For now he will be wearing it underneath clothing  so we can get as much use out of it as possible. 

The other item we were sent is the orange lion print poncho the sizing is correct and Blake has it in size 12-24 months. The quality is also great like the vest , however I feel we personally wont get much use out of it as I'm not too keen on the print myself and not too sure on how well it suits Blake.  


So what do you think about Rockin Baby's Out of Africa range for Spring/Summer?
