Summer Skin Essentials (On a Budget!) | Velvet-Rose

Hello everyone :)

My AS exams have finished and I'm finally back - just in time for summer beauty releases! Today I went shopping for some of my summer essentials for smooth, tanned skin (as I was seriously lacking) and I thought it would be great to share them with you if you're stuck for what to buy.

All of these products were from the drugstore/highstreet, so this post will be helpful for those of you on a budget.

They're super easy and can be made slightly more diet-friendly by using sultanas or nuts in replacement of the chocolate.
