Wednesday Wishlist | 90s Blush

Wednesday Wishlist | 90s Blush by nancycamp1 featuring adidas sneakers


I've wanted a bomber jacket for the longest time but I've struggled to find the perfect one for my shape. This one is less 'puffer' and more slimline, which works better with my shorter top-half. The blush shade would be the perfect addition to my light jacket collection for this awful SUMMER we're having. 

My love affair with culottes continues, this time to three-quarter length ones that graze above the ankle. I love the colour and shape of this River Island pair 

Adidas Pink Superstars, what the hell? Are these not the greatest shoes ever? Totally in love with these but I'm very worried of how dirty they'll get with my clumsy footing. 

Rose-Gold Ray-Ban's in Clubround, need I say more? These have to be my glasses of choice for an upcoming trip I have planned. Mirrored lenses are super trendy at the moment, and the rose-gold effect couldn't be any more perfect. 

The 90s have been taking over as a real trend lately, from grungy sandals to top knots and chokers. Chokers have been seen on the best 90s fan-girls from Zoella to Kylie Jenner, so I needed to add this onto my wishlist. 

I'm very drawn to blush pinks ever since my room re-decoration. What colours have you been buying lately? Tag me in your purchases @nancycamp

#OOTD | Floral Bardot Dress and Tie-up Block Heels

Happy Saturday guys...

The Bardot and choker look is one of my favourite summer trends, so shopping for an engagement party outfit was a breeze. After seeing this dress on someone in Covent Garden, I had to track it down. Luckily, (or sometimes damaging to my bank balance) my office is next to a New Look and during one of my lunchtime jaunts, I found it....and at £24.99 it was a sale!  

I teamed the Button Down Floral Bardot Dress with some Black Tie-up Block Heeled Sandals from River Island that were reduced from £55 to £30. Talk about a successful shopping trip? 

I think this was one of my favourite outfits, one which ticked all my boxes, comfort and style. The perfect day-to-night ensemble.

#OOTD | Daisy Wide Leg Trousers and Bardot top

The BBQ season is finally upon us, so wave goodbye to that summer bod and say hello to comfortable cover-ups. 

Finding outfits for weekends in the sun is tough. You want to feel comfortable enough to consume umpteen amounts of burgers but still look like a bohemian goddess at the same time. 

So when considering my outfit for a summery soiree with friends, I had to think comfort and style. I opted for these Daisy Print Wide Leg Trousers from ASOS (last season). Their high -wasted style and jersey material are a BBQ's best friend, I teamed them with a Bardot Gypsy top from Primark, £7, for the ultimate eating and drinking ensemble. 

I'd love to see your BBQ outfit, tweet me a pic @NCampopiano

Beauty Review | Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water

Happy Friday guys!

This week I'm crazy about haircare. All I can think about is my hair and I'm pretty sure (OK, very sure) that it is to do with some products I got sent from Shea Moisture. I kindly received the shampoo, hair masque and texture spray from the Fruit Fusion Coconut Water collection and thought I'd give them a go. 

Having never heard of Shea Moisture, I was not sure what to expect. Initially, I was impressed with the overall image of the product. The packaging was pretty, bright and resembled the Bumble and Bumble brand.

Shea Moisture is an American brand which recently launched here in the UK in October. The products are all organic, sulphate and paraben-free, which I think is super important if you suffer from dull or lifeless hair. I was really excited to try these products as sometimes my hair can be very dry at the ends.

Weightless Shampoo

The shampoo foamed-up really nicely and I only used a small amount. It left my hair feeling really clean and washed out well. The coconut isn’t overpowering it’s actually quite fresh and not artificial smelling, which you can sometimes get from hair products and it can be quite unpleasant. But this is just the right amount of coconut. I would definitely recommend this product for people with thick/wavy hair.

I then blow dried my hair and it was left feeling very light with lots of body and minimal frizz, which was lovely to see.

Weightless Hair Masque

Having never used a masque before, I was so excited to try this. I totally fell for the product and how soft my hair felt after use. I applied the masque generously to all of my hair and left on for five minutes. It washed off really nicely to reveal the amazing softness.The masque definitely helped to lock in the gorgeous scent and even four days in… I can still smell it!

Weightless Texture Spray

The texture spray did help to tame my frizz but to be honest I didn't feel it added anything else to my hair as the shampoo and masque pretty much covered all bases.

Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Shea Moisture’s products and I will definitely be trying out more of the range.

If you have tried any of these products I’d love to hear your thoughts, tweet me @NCampopiano

Wednesday Wishlist | Spring Beauty 2016

Wednesday Wishlist | Beauty Spring 2016 by nancycamp1 featuring a liquid eyeliner

Happy Wednesday guys!

I hope you all had fabulous Bank Holiday weekends, now for a four day week...woo.

It's Wednesday Wishlist time again, this week is Spring beauty themed. This is my favourite time of year and always a good season to update your make-up collection with bright shades of blushers and shadows.

 I have been lusting after all of these items for while and sadly some of them are only available in the US thanks to Sephora. But luckily, I have a work friend coming back from the US and bringing me a few bits. So for the first time, I might actually own some of these products!

The first thing is the Too Faced Sweetheart Blush, in Sparkling Bellini, which I'm very excited for. It's the perfect blush for Spring and Summer in the beautiful coral shade.This gorgeous new range has sold so well in the US but it's almost impossible to get over here as they only sell it online at Debenhams.  Also, in the same range, The Sweet Peach Palette, has sold out everywhere and only now available on eBay and Amazon at an exceptional price. So this one is definitely going to remain on my Wishlist for the foreseeable future.

Of course the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kit is at the top of my list but another hard-to-get product. They sell out almost immediately online making it almost impossible to own. Dolce K has to be my favourite, I'm a sucker for pinky nudes.

I've been looking to buy a foundation more suitable for Spring and I have read such great things about the Charlotte Tilbury, Magic Foundation, from coverage to the 'dewy' glow it gives.

What's on your wishlist?

Beauty Edit | Strobing Compact

So apparently strobing is the new contouring. This is news to me, after finally mastering the art of contouring (all but badly) now we have a new make-up skill to learn. So thankfully, our high-street hero brand, MUA, have launched a new strobing compact, available from Superdrug, £5.

Made to make strobing easy, all you need to do is swipe, sculpt and strobe! The powder and crème highlighter are the perfect blend of shimmer and sheen designed to give your cheek that Spring glow.

I would definitely say it was a soft-focus highlighter so not glittery or OTT but very enjoyable and easy to use.

I recently bought a fan brush from eBay, £1.99, to apply the powder to my cheekbones, which goes on like a dream and really brightens the area. Then to apply the crème highlighter I use my index finger to smooth and blend, leaving the skin looking healthy and luminescent. 

 I wouldn't say it is one of the best highlighting products but it certainly does a great job for a drugstore/high-street brand and for £5, you can't really go wrong. 

You can get the Luxe Strobe & Glow Highlight compact from any Superdrug or MUA online. Find it here: 

I also featured this product in my recent Superdrug Haul video over on my YouTube channel. Check it out:

I'm also thinking of doing a strobing tutorial - I'd love to know what you think. Comment below
