Our Week in Photos!

Hi guys!

We're sorry about our lack of blog posts this past week. We do intend to have regular posts every Wednesday but these next few weeks may be a bit on and off as we are both sitting our A levels. No need to worry though, we'll be back with regular posts at least once a week by mid June!

We have so many great ideas for posts so we can't wait to get back to putting all our efforts into this for you guys.

The main point of this post though is to announce a new regular post we'll be doing: 'Our Week in Photos' which will be posted every weekend! It won't be too long but it'll be an update on what we've been doing, and things we've loved during the week- a nice little extra.

We love having feature nails- they make everything seem that little bit more summery!

As you can see we've been planning more posts and getting things ready for you guys.

Summer is possibly our favourite time of year and to get us into the mood we're currently loving Beyonce's album, 4, and Gabrielle Aplin's new single, Panic Chord.

Also- we're currently obsessed with mango Rubicon and mixed fruits!

Not overly compelling but we hope you enjoyed it.

What do you think of us doing 'Our Week in Photos' posts? Do you guys love summer as much as us?

We'd love to hear from you,

Until Wednesday (hopefully)

Love,

The Benefits of Elle

So unbeknown to both of us, we both nipped out on the same day to get this month's issue of Elle, and we have no regrets. Elle is one of our favourite monthly fashion magazines, especially with the celebrity interviews, beauty advice, latest fashion updates, and even a travel section. You'd definitely be hard-pressed to have a reasonable excuse to dislike it. It's like our very own fashion bible with fabulous monthly installments, and beautiful women (apart from the David Beckham issue- although there's no denying he's beautiful) on the front cover, making us here at Aurora Glow green with envy.

This month's issue features the talented Miley Cyrus, and we love it.

The bold outfits she wears in her shoot emphasise her drastic, yet amazingly well pulled off new hair style.

Although we could potentially sit and write about our love for Elle all day, in today's post we are also looking at the Benefit mascara that came FREE (yes you heard us correctly) in this month's issue- okay so we're not completely leaving the Elle topic, but still. 

With it being Benefit we had high hopes for the mascara, and were really rooting for it to look as great as it does advertised and we weren't disappointed. Although the results aren't quite as great as it shows on the packaging, it's still impressive. 

Above is an image of us trying the mascara out for ourselves. As you can see, there's quite a difference and this was with only two quick coats. We also love the brush! It's a plastic one- which we personally prefer- so coverage was even and it was very easy to apply. We also find that after wearing mascara for a few hours it starts to go bitty and comes off a little, but there's none of that with this- it lasts ages! We're very impressed.

 Overall we're extremely happy with this month's issue of Elle and would recommend it to anyone. We love the mascara that much that we will more than likely be buying another when ours run out!

Have any of you bought this month's issue? If so, what do you think? 

Love,
