12 Things I loved in this Summer

Today I want to show you what I liked most the past weeks (really late August Favourites if you want to). There have been some new additions but also some all-time favourites and one rediscovery, I forgot about. Actually I wanted to publish the London Haul first, but I had the photo material from this post before the Haul one. Shortly said: Here you have my Summer Favourites, I hope you like it and leave me a comment with your feedback :).

I will start with two albums I really liked the past weeks. They are from The Vamps "Meet the Vamps" and the perfect Ariana Grande "My Everything". I have been listening to these the whole time and they improve my mood and make me happy. I think my favourites from the albums are "Cecelia" and "Last Night" from The Vamps and "Bang Bang" and "One more Time" from Ariana Grande. This really gets you in a positive mood (maybe great for school time, because summer holidays are over *cries*).

Now to my makeup picks. In summer I like to paint my nails more colourful, because it looks great with tanned skin.One of these nail polishes is the Essie "Peach Daiquiri" , which is a perfect redish-orange-pinky colour (really hard to describe). I loved this on my nails and toe nails a lot. Also the quality of it is incredible (it lasts up to two weeks).

I absolutely adored one eyeshadow palette last month. It's the Naked 3 by Urban Decay. I have wrote about it in the Barcelona Haul post and many of you will know it from other bloggers, so I will keep it very short with this. This eyeshadow palette is absolutely gorgeous. I love the rosy and brown colours in it, because they look very natural. It's absolutely an item, I don't want to miss in my makeup collection (and now it's also avaible in Germany at Douglas, so if you want to get your hands on it, you haven't to go to Sephora or get it very overpriced on the internet).

Then I discovered something, what I had for a really long time and loved to use last year, when I got a little bit tanned in Italy. I'm talking about the Catrice Camouflage Cream in 020 LIght Beige, which is basically a concealer. When I got back from Barcelona I used this because it was the perfect match with my skin. You can use it under your eyes, but also for covering spots and redness. It's not very expensive, so I think for the coverage you get it's a good budget buy (think it was about 2-3 euros). If you are looking for a new, cheap Concealer I can really recommend this one.

For body care I have one item I want to show you. I liked to use the Treaclemoon "One Ginger Morning Body Butter" a lot, because it soaks in very fast and it doesn't leave an oil film on your skin. This really makes my skin smooth and moistures it very well. The smell of it is absolutely fantastic and very summery.

When my hair is a bit greasy but don't need to be washed, I like to refresh it with a dry shampoo. This one is from Batiste and it's their floral and flirty blush one in the cute pink and floral packaging. This absorbs the grease and make them last one day longer. You can use this aswell to add a little bit volume to your hair. Only flaw from this product: You have to work in the powder, because otherwise it will leave a unsightly white residue in your hair. So be careful with it (if you don't want to have hair like your granny). But Batiste also sell dry shampoos, where the powder isn't white but in the colour of your hair. Maybe I will try this one out someday. Otherwise I can really recommend this one, because it's a lifesaver on days where you haven't time to wash your hair.

Also there can't be miss two fashion pieces I loved to wear. In Barcelona I really liked to wear this daisy skirt from Brandy&Melville. The material of it is very light and you can combine this with many other tops, cardigans, whatever (also with the top I will show you next). When my best friend Damaris and I were shopping, I got this perfect top from Pimkie. It's made of crochet (I'm very into crochet at the moment) and very cute. It has a zipper on the back. You have to wear a white top underneath because it's completely transparent. There will be up a "Back to School Lookbook" in the next weeks, where these two maybe are mentioned (not to reveal too much).

Something I really liked was this cute hair band from Claire's, I got from my best friend Francisca. I love flowers (as you already know). These flower crowns are perfect to wear when you take photos with your friends. Very cute and a must-have in summer.

Last favourites I want to mention in this post are my vacations to Barcelona and London, which have make my summer sooo much better. It was an overwhelming and perfect time, which I really loved. I've seen many new things, met new people, had soo much fun and enjoyed every single minute of it. These are definitley two cities, I love. At this point once again a big, big thank you to the people I share this memories with: thank you to my wonderful sister Sophia, the best sister I can ever possibly imagine, to my parents, who are always there for me, special thank you to Damaris, my best friend and soul sister and to her mother, with who you can always have a laugh with. If you want to know more about these city trips, check out the two posts from the series #travellinto... .

Have a nice weekend and just be happy,
