Brune Delight

Hello Lovelies,

Most of you may already know that I had bought two Triangl bikinis a while back and they did not fit me. I had been wanting to return them because I did not want to stay with two bikinis that didn't fit me but I hadn't really gotten around doing it.

Yesterday I thought why not try them again and see if I really wanted to return them or refund them and everything. I tried them on again and strangely they fitted better and I didn't want to return them anymore. So I tried both of them on, went to the pool with both so I could do a proper review on the bathing suits.

I'll start by talking about the Farah - Summer Serenade that I bought in a S++ for the top and M for the bottoms.

The bikini has the nicest colours ever, they are so vibrant and look really nice with the sunshine. The top is in a triangle shape and covers maybe half of my boobs but I don't mind showing a bit of boobs if you do mind, this style isn't for you if you have a large bust. The straps are adjustable which is a big plus, however the band isn't so you need to make sure that the size is really the one that will fit you.

The little crochet detailing really adds to the charm of the bikini. The top is really nice to swim in, however I feel a bit weird swimming with the bottoms they seem to take a lot of water in and just be weird.

One thing you should know when you buy a Triangl bikini is that the bottoms cover a lot of your butt and aren't cheeky at all although they have come out with cheeky bottoms but only on certain styles so keep that in mind while buying your swimsuit.

Second bikini : Black Neon - Orange Burst

The bikini also has very vibrant colours although the black is faded which I do not like, I would have liked it better with an actual black. Also my bottom arrived with some creases and I know we can get them removed with an iron although I would have liked to receive them in proper quality.

Similarly to the Farah style, the bottoms cover the bum pretty well.

The top has mesh on it and the orange looks really great with a tan.

Both of my bikinis came with a bag, the bag for the black neon is orange with mesh and the one for the Farah is blue.

I hope you liked this new review and I will maybe buy a new style and tell you all about it.

Love, Elise xx

Hello Lovelies,

Once again it is time for another favourite music of the month. I haven't done the month of February because I was away for half of it and kept on listening to the same music I listened to in January. However while I was away in South Africa, I did listen to a few new music that I'll just add to those of March. I also went through a major JoJo phase so expect a tone of JoJo music.

I have recently discovered that being a pisces (my birthday is in February), I was affected by the planet Neptune, whatever that means, and Neptune is the planet of music. I like to believe that music has become a part of me and therefore I just live with it.

Now we might just get straight into it:

1- 7 years - Lukas Graham

2- Catch & Release - Matt Simons

3- Songbird - Ryan Montbleau

4- Boys That Sing and Swings And Waterslides - Viola Beach

5- iT's YoU and BeFoUr - ZAYN

6- Leave (Get out), Too Little Too Late, Baby It's You, Say Love - JoJo

7- i hate u i love u and U Only Call Me When It's Raining - gnash

8- Work - Rihanna ft. Drake

9- Work From Home - Fifth Harmony ft Ty Dollar Sign

10 - Water Under the Bridge, Million Years Ago and Sweetest Devotion - Adele

11- My Gospel - Charlie Puth

12 - 2 Heads - Coleman Hell

13- Nina, Afire Love, Everything You Are and Tenerife Sea - Ed Sheeran

14 - Never Be Like You - Flume ft Kai

15 - La Paga - Juanes

16 - Sexual Healing - Marvin Gaye

17 - Moviendo Caderas - Yandel ft Daddy Yankee

You might notice I just threw a whole bunch of different styles, languages, years in there but these songs have really been the one I have on my playlist that have been repeating themselves for the past 4 weeks.

Hope you all have a great month of April.

Love, Elise xx

Hello Lovelies,

As a few of you may know I am a big fan of lipsticks, my make up bag is full of them and I felt like sharing my top lipsticks in my collection (I may have around 30 lipsticks). I will share with you guys my 11 favorite lipsticks.

We will start off with my favorite lipstick brand : M.A.C. they have the nicest lipsticks and the most important range of colours in matte (the texture I prefer). I will show you 5 different colours, those I bought recently while I was away in South Africa and my all time favourite.

From left to right : Miley Cyrus 2, Ruby Woo, Russian Red, Taupe and Verve

Miley Cyrus 2 and Ruby Woo are very similar colours that I bought while away in South Africa. I would categorise them in the red-orange lipsticks that I have because they are more of a peachy red color. They are both matte and long lasting on the lips. They are amazing colours for summer as well as going out.

As well as these two colours I also bought Russian Red, however Russian Red is more of a deep red and not orange at all. It is also matte and long lasting. If you do not like deep reds this is definitely not a color for you.

I'll now talk about my darker colours and basically not red. I have two brown colours the first one being Taupe and the second Verve. Taupe is matye and a nude colour, or the closest thing I have to nude. It is also long lasting on the lips on the contrary Verve is not as long lasting as my other lipsticks being a satin. It is a very dark purple brown colour. (excuse the dirtiness of Taupe I dropped it before taking the picture). Taupe is my all time favorite.

Moving on to another brand, Sephora. Sephora has the best liquid lipsticks that mattifies while on the lips. I have two different shades of the collection called the Cream lip Stain, first one being a deep red and the other one a lighter pink that almost looks like chapstick on the lips. They are both long lasting and you might even have trouble removing the red one.

The red one is the shade 01 and the pink 05.

Moving on to yet another brand, Revlon. I have the ColorBurst Matte Balm. It is amazing. I love that it is just like a pen it is very easy to apply and they have a wide range of colours again. I do have multiple of these but my favorite is the shade 245 Audacious it is a really pretty orange that looks amazing on the lips.

Moving on to the more pricey brands. First of all Guerlain, I have one of their Rouge Automatique lipsticks. I have the shade 660 that I usually wear when I have to go out or for big festivities where you can go all sequin because it is a shade with glitter.

I also have a Chanel. Chanel is an amazing brand for reds. However you should not expect them to last forever. I have the shade 456 Erik of their Rouge Coco collection. It personally doesn't last me more than 3 hours but it is just such a beautiful deep burgundy I adore it.

And last but no least my Lancome. I unfortunately didn't have my lipstick when it came to taking their individual shots but you can see it in the first picture. I have the lipstick of their Absolu Rouge collection in the shade 386 it is gorgeous, very similar to my Chanel lipstick. It does last longer on the lips and looks amazing with a lot of looks. This is the lipstick I reach for the most after my Taupe lipstick. I joined a picture of the promotional photo for the lipstick.

I'm trying to get my hands on a Kylie LipKit to do a review if any of you know where I could buy one please tell me where.

Thank you very much for reading the post and I hope you enjoyed. I am very sorry I am quite bad a describing colours. I will see you soon for another blog post.

Love, Elise xx

Hello Lovelies,

I am back again, a tad bit late but better late than never, with the second part of my trip to South Africa. In my last blog post I went up until Durban so this is the part where you will get to see the safaris and our amazing room in Rhino Ridge and then a bit of Johannesburg.

First we stopped at Hluhluwe a national park where we stayed at Rhino Ridge for a night. We drove there and on the way to the hotel we were lucky enough to see a whole bunch of animals and it was amazing. Just so you know do not get to close to the animals when you are in your car especially elephants.

I took a few pictures of the lodge we were staying in, if I remember it was the Safari Lodge one. It was absolutely gorgeous. However it rained all night, there was a terrible storm outside and it was nearly impossible to sleep.

We were lucky enough to go on two game drives, one in the evening and the other one the next morning so here's a whole bunch of animal pictures.

After that we spend a night in Swaziland. It was great as well but I only have two pictures to show you because we drove during the whole day and then went to sleep and left again the next morning.

We then went to Sabi Sabi which is a private park next to Kruger this is where we got the see the big five. Excuse the weird order.

And then we left to spend 3 nights in Johannesburg and I was a very bad photographer there and was too lazy to carry my camera around so I only took it to the Apartheid Museum.

And that is it for my trip to South Africa if you want to take a holiday soon I would 100% recommend South Africa it was one of the best trips of my life.

Hope you have a great end of week, expect a new blogpost Sunday.

Love, Elise xx
