August Favourites!

Hello all!

So, unfortunately, September has sprung itself upon us and with that comes school, exams, early mornings and tons of home/course work- but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate our favourite beauty/fashion items this past month.

I wanted to share with you some of the stand out products that I've been using an awful lot. Please share with me yours in the comments and if you want more info on any products!

 
For a while, I've been using Dermalogica's teen range as my face wash and toner, but as I was struggling with my makeup lasting and primers hate my skin, I tried out the moisturiser that came with the CleanStart set. It's called Welcome Matte, and contains spf 15. I use a pea sized amount over any places that tend to get oily on my dry/combo skin and it works wonders!
 
I've been using Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation (£10) all month and it gives medium/buildable coverage, with a beautiful finish which is far from matte, but isn't overly dewy.
 
 Bobbi Brown creamy concealer in the shade sand (£18). This concealer feels so luxorious with use and I would say is light/medium coverage and works beautifully under the eyes and on small blemishes.
 
I have an awful time finding the right powder but I am going to save rambling on about it, basically I've found that the MAC blot powder (£20) works perfectly on absorbing oil without it appearing ashy or giving more coverage.
 
My favourite prodcut this month is MAC mineralised charged water which is my setting spray. It gives my skin the perfect boost getting rid of dryness and  also revitalizes my makeup!
 
 
Warm Soul blush by MAC is unreal, it's a blend of bronzey brown, peach and pink and is flawless. If your feeling lazy, it's perfect as a bronzer and blush in one and has become one of my staples.
 
Ilamsqua powder blush in Tremble (£16) is a warm pink with slightly orange undertones, much brighter and pinkier then something like MAC fleur power. This really compliments my fair, warm skin and gives me such a beautiful cheek. It' super pigmented but can be chalky if you use too much.
 
I've tried quite a few highlighters, and mememe beat the blues illuminater in sunbeam (£5-8) has been my favourite this month. It's lovely to use and almost makes me appear more tanned with the gorgeous gold undertones.
 
This month I was gifted with MAC's coffee eye pencil (£10 aprox) and I am in love! I've used this almost everday since I got it and barely touched carbon which I got at the same time. This isn't too warm toned but is beautiful, natural and I've been so lazy with eye makeup just applying this on water/tight line and on my lash line! Perfect for school.
 
An awful, awful picture but my fashion fave has been my topshop simple skater skirt. It's stretchy, with an elastic waist and it's my favourite piece to team with almost any type of top! I just think it's girly but still somehow edgy. I wore this in my BOHO CHIC post.
 
Follow and comment and let me know your must haves!

Get the Look: Miley Cyrus

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA had a night mare with the internet!

Miley Cyrus has been one of the most influental 'teen stars' the past 6 or so years, and over that time it is safe to say her original 'Teen Sweetheart' style has truly evolved. I wanted to take a look at a look that she wore fairly recently and tell you where to buy cheaper alternatives!
 
      
Miley wore this at the 2012 Billboard Awards and it's a Jean Paul Gautier creation.
 I personally love this, but only on Miley, not many could pull this off! Her hair is perfection and the strong brows, smokey eyes and soft lips are also gorgeous.

Topshop do a similar blazer- http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=4748598&langId=-1

Now, the shoes were difficult to find since these are so expensive and gorgeous, but you can find some with similar colours and a similar style- http://www.newlook.com/shop/shoe-gallery/view-all-shoes/black-and-cream-patent-strap-mid-heels_253548401

If you want the half moon style necklace try- http://www.mememeaccessories.com/jewellery-c30/necklaces-c444/rebecca-half-moon-rose-gold-plated-necklace-p9675 
However, that is pretty expensive and it's not to my taste, so I love this linked cross necklace, and I could picture Miley sporting it too! http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=21&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=6189222&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208556&parent_categoryId=204484&pageSize=20

                      I hope you enjoyed it, and make sure to follow for fashion, lifestyle and beauty.

What I Wear: Boho-Chic

Hey everyone, so over the weekend me and my friend Lily (her blog is www.jolihouse.com) did some styling and photo's together, and this is one of my favourite outfits, it's so cute and boho chic!




This outfit is perfectly girly and flirtly but it has that somewhat edgy and unique edge by incorporating this hat into it.

Hat: H&M- £9.99

Top: Forever21- £13.50

Skirt: Topshop- £16

Shoes: Character Shoes (price unknown)


The top is odd, it's a sort of cropped shawl/jumper/top, but I love it!

Welcome to the World HervanaStyle!

Hello everyone!
My name is Saskia and I am so excited to welcome you all to my brand new blog (baby) hervanastyle. Although I got a fashion blog a few months back, it didn't really work out and I wanted to create something which was unique andsomething I feel as if is truly me, and not something that will fit in with the typical fashion bloggers!

So here it is, hervanastyle and I would love for you to follow and keep checking out the blog for new updates. I will be mainly posting outfit of the days, more editorial style outfits, my thoughts, celebrity style and more!
