Reach For Gold!

With the sunshine out and a wedding party to attend to, one could not resist a last minute purchase! If I am honest with you all, this dress was purely a compulsion buy, meaning, I was sat at my desk trying to revise but the 'shopcrastination' bug struck at a moment of weakness. Not necessarily a bad thing is it ladies? This gorgeous dress caught my eye and it reminded me of gold magnum, it was desirable, luxurious and incredibly temptatious. I had to buy it immediately. I bought this dress from Top Shop (online) for £45.00. The dress is incredibly fitted with padding inserts so you do not have to wear a bra, although, I did try on a strapless bra which hid extremely well (so the choice is yours!). I bought the dress in XS (only because the small size was out of stock) so I was incredibly nervous as to whether or not the dress would actually fit me. It turned out that the XS size was perfect! If you were to buy this dress I'd recommend checking out the size guide because for me, the size below fit me like a glove. So there we have it guys, this metallic shine dress is perfect for any occasion this Spring/Summer. So treat yourself to something gold (well bronzy gold!).

NEXT Bikinis

With the sun shining all weekend, one couldn't resist a little bit of bikini shopping! My favourite place of ALL time to buy affordable bikinis are from NEXT. I purchased my first bikini from them about a year ago and I personally believe that their designs and prints are the best around. As my twin sister decided to hog all of the 'boob' gene, I am unfortunately not the most busty of all people (I measure around a 32B or 31C depending on what brand) so inevitably, a good bikini for me is one that gives a little definition in the chest area. NEXT bikinis fortunately have a great support system with slight padding, so not to worry, your boobs won't be around your neck! (but do note, they do have fabulous designs if you do fall within the busty pool). The image below is a bikini I bought last year and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! The colour and design is gorgeous and the suit itself fits me like a glove. Every year I will be buying my bikinis from NEXT, they are great value for money as they will most definitely be serving you for a few Summers without falling out of style.

Halter-neck costing around £24.00

Save The Blow Dry!

Ok, if there was some sort of Oscar for the 'best shower cap in the world', this one would certainly steal the prize. For me washing my hair everyday is an absolute no no. Not only is it healthier, but the sheer thought of washing and drying my hair everyday would quite frankly be almost as exciting as watching paint dry. Quite frankly most shower caps are pretty rubbish. I would be lying if I said that I didn't (currently) have one sat by my shower, which looks like cling film ready to wrap my sandwiches up for tomorrows lunch box. Doesn't sound so glamorous, does it? Save The Blow Dry shower caps are some what, the definition of glamorous. Before writing this review I wanted to give this shower cap a thorough use, as after all, I didn't want to brand it as a 'sandwich bag' like I have the rest. But I can honestly tell you all (with huge confidence) that this shower cap is utterly 'amazeballs'. Not only does it keep your locks nice and dry, but it will also last you a very long time. As you can see in the picture below, this shower cap is like a metaphorical onion- there's so many layers to it! The inside of the shower cap stays water free and the outside of the cap is also easy to dry. These shower caps are available in blue or pink for £14.95!

Pukka up Instagram!

Eltoria's own tip- as a self proclaimed hair treatment enthusiast, this shower cap is also perfect for hydrating your locks back to life! The treatment itself didn't go hard (it stayed nice and moist) and it didn't go all over my clothes and bedsheets! So not only is it a 'one trick pony', but it is also a 2-in-1! Now that's getting your money's worth.

Tanya Burr Lipgloss Review

Recently I have had an obsession with new brands and products. I love finding new designers/creators, especially if they are from the blogging or YouTube world! Tanya Burr is especially an inspiration to us all. Starting her blog and YouTube channel a few years ago, she has been able to exercise her entrepreneurial mind and has now created a gorgeous line of lipglosses and nail varnishes. I personally bought two lipglosses, 'Vampire Kiss' and 'Afternoon Tea'. I decided to post my review and thoughts through a YouTube video so that you could all properly see the colours in real motion. So check it out by clicking the image below!
