Sunglasses collection – summer 2k16

sunglasses collection summer 2016 uk fashion blogger

It is officially summer, so I can talk about sunglasses. And how I have been bitten with the collecting bug of shiny ocular instruments. The weather might not let me wear them for a full day without the need for also taking an umbrella, but they are definitely out daily. Finally.

Not sure if 6 pairs counts as a ‘collection’ (correct me if you want) but I thought I’d share what I have at the minute and talk about where each of the pairs come from. So if you’re wanting to pick up some new shades this summer to protect your lil eyes then~

Mirrored / polarised lens

sunglasses collection summer 2016 uk mirrored lenses

The massive trend that doesn’t look like it’s going away anytime soon. Recently, metallic shades with thin or rimless frames have become the rage, with rose gold fronting the way. Dior has the original, mirrored pink-shiny (I24TE if you were wondering), but there are lots of dupes on the market now.

I picked my rose gold pair up from aliexpress, purely because I wasn’t sure if I was going to wear these often, they’re quite mirrored, and smaller than the usual frames that I’d wear. However they’ve quickly become something that I reach for often as they’re one of those pairs that make me feel like a boss ass b*tch, Heads turn. Statement made. Get yourself a pair of these.

The gold lens and black cat eye pair are called Galodia, they’re from Aldo* though I shopped them through Octer– which I’m doing a full post on later this week. They’re fab aren’t they? Size-wise they’re a lot bigger than I thought they’d be, similar dimensions to the white cat-eye pair which are my largest sunglasses to date, so that was a bit of a surprise. I love them though. Am absolutely 210% in love I want to wear them all the time.

The blue mirror pair* are from Firmoo – full review of that trend crush –  and again they’re slightly larger than I was expecting… they take up a large proportion of my face. But they’re fab, again. They’re the pair that’s easiest to see through, as they don’t really darken or tint the world when they’re on – so proper polarisation there. They’re coming with me to Austria for definite, as they’re also incredibly light weight.

Regular Lenses

The sliiightly novelty cat-eye pair I got for the AW15 London Fashion Week season, and I haven’t worn them much since other than for shoots or specific outfits. They’re definitely a pair I love even though I don’t get them out as often as I’d like, as they’re fun and quirky. I’ve seen a lot of the Korean models posing with pairs like these on insta and I know that influenced my original purchase, but hey. They’re from eBay so it wasn’t a massive amount of cash spent (under £5), so it’s not like I dropped a large amount of money.

The pink pair I also picked up from eBay, as I had a pair similar to these in Korea when I was there, but they (along with a really pretty forever21 pair) never made it home somehow. I loved the metallic nose bridge and little arrows where the arms fix to the frames, and these being pink means that I can wear monochromatic outfits and still have some sort of colour present in there without too much thought or planning.

The silver browed pair are from Asos, and was probably the pair that sparked the collecting to be honest. They’re the oldest pair of these 6, and I was initially drawn to the built-up brow in the description. I do love a good high-browed cat-eye – as is evidenced with most of these – and despite the way these photograph they’re actually quite sizeable themselves.

#협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin ty #협찬 Using the right sunscreen for your skin type is *drum roll* actually very important -- and I'm not just talking about SPF levels for different skin tones. 

Choosing the right sunscreen helps to avoid irritation, breakouts, and makes you more likely to apply it regularly, which gives your skin the best chance at avoiding things like melanoma (skin cancer) and premature aging. 

Determining your skin type >>
For me, finding my skin type was super easy. S E N S I T I V E. I'm horrifically eczema prone (have a whole series on my blog about this), and lean towards a routine that is simple but hydrating, staying away from too many actives. It's the reason I take forever to put up skincare reviews, because I have to check for reactions, or develop contact dermatitis from different ingredients. 

BUT - that's not all. See, I lean towards Sensitive-dry, which is why my skin care, and my sun care, focuses more on hydrating products. 

What determines your skin type? How much oil (sebum) your skin produces daily. 

Dry >> 
Does your skin feel tight? Less elastic?  Does it become rough or flaky easily? Dehydrated? Not a lot of shine in your T-zone? Then your skin type is probably dry. 

Oily >>
Do you get really shiny during the day? (Especially in your t-zone) Do you suffer from (manageable*) breakouts, blackheads and/or whiteheads? Then your skin type is probably oily. 

Normal >> 
Is your skin neither oily throughout the day, and doesn't feel dry, or tight, or often irritated? Your pores aren't too noticeable, and you rarely have breakouts? Then your skin is probably normal! Lucky you :) 

Combination >>
Are you oily in your t-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry or normal skin on your cheeks? Then you have combination skin <3. It's a little harder to care for, because you're often trying to battle with contrasting products 
(my tip: you're gonna want a sunscreen that's suitable for 'all skin types' ;))

So, now you know more about skin types, scroll through for my picks for each, and my current favourite sun screen <3 

Let me know your skin type AND your current sun screen in the comments below, and don't forget to #applysunscreenaddprotection <3

#협찬 Q: what’s the most important skincare s #협찬  Q: what’s the most important skincare step?
Fii’s answer: SUNSCREEN!!!!!!!!!!!! 

This is a question i get asked quite a bit, and my answer has been the same for ages. The step in my skincare I absolutely never skip is: sunscreen. 

So I’m really excited to be taking part in @wishtrend ‘s #ASAPchallenge: #applysunscreenaddprotection 😊 This challenge is to help build the habit of applying sunscreen DAILY for 5 weeks. It takes 28 days to form a habit.. so let’s do this together ^^ 

There are some great perks for wishtrend users for taking part with me too! For everyone who posts content during this challenge, you get 1,000 wishtrend points and 3 promo codes to pick up your favourite wishtrend products 😊 And!! we get to protect our skin from sun damage and early signs of aging 😚

what do you say?

Vegan skincare is on the rise, and I received these beautiful Vegan Lip Butters from @melixirskincare_kr ❤️
Melixir is vegan, sustainable, and cruelty free, that has a range of products that are great for sensitive skin like mine :) 

I’m absolutely loving the easy wearability of “04 Dewy Rose”, and the agave infused formula is great for my lips (guess who doesn’t drink enough water…). 

“05 Red Velvet” is a buildable red, that isn’t too harsh or bright for those days you want a little colour, but don’t want to faff about with lip liners ❤️

📌 you can find melixir products at Amazon (worldwide), or if you’re in Korea, Olive Young and Melixir’s website ❤️

What’s your favourite lip product these days?

#협찬 #광고 skincare for glowing skin when yo #협찬 #광고  skincare for glowing skin when you don’t have time for extensive routines? i’m loving the @klairs.global fundamental line :) 

named because it’s formulated to take care of your skin’s fundamental needs, this is a great line to reach for when you’re busy, or just need something simple to satisfy your skin. 

cream: 
the fundamental water gel cream is super light weight for easy absorption into the skin. it’s packed with green tea for vitamin e, antioxidants and calming, which with the way my eczema has been recently i def need.

mist: 
the fundamental ampule mist os a great product to have to top up when your skin is feeling dry, or as layered with 7 skins. it’s got so many nutrients to make your skin feel refreshed and hydrated. 

eye cream
i’m always a bit hmm over eye creams that don’t have actives (like retinol or derivatives) but i’ve been reading about the benefits of using peptides for the under-eye area specifically and i’m not saying the results are magic, but i’ve seen an improvement when i’ve been using peptide formulated products in that area. so. jury is still out but i’m not mad. 
#the formula of this cream is also super thick and creamy so it feels really nourishing 😇🫶 

overall it’s been a great experience so far, and it’s definitely made me remember why i liked klairs products way back when i started blogging ❤️
