ELLE UK July 2013

Subscribers' Cover Page, July 2013, Amy Adams 'Super Woman'

The July issue of ELLE is all about the summer holidays. It's packed with all the tips on how to stay looking your best when the sun comes out.

This Month's Freebie | Rodial Brazilian Tan Light

With this issue came the Rodial Brazilian Tan in Light. I haven't tried it yet but it gives an instant glow followed by a natural tan colouring that develops in 4 hours and also the skin feels deeply hydrated allowing for a longer lasting effect.

On 26 June from 6 till 8pm at Selfridges London there'll be the Denim Lovers Event.
They will be opening of the world's largest denim department and get top denim tips from their fashion rail.
Meet your favourite fashion editors from the magazine and discover their expert advice for creating the perfect denim look. Paige Adams-Geller from Paige Denim will also be on hand to offer her expert guidance for finding your perfect pair of jeans.
The Denim Studio will be a true blue extravaganza on the evening with blue popcorn and FIJI Water for refreshment.  
From studding to fraying, customisation specialists Sew Over It, will also be there offering exclusive customisations for your denim.
And even better, the tickets are free on a first come first serve basis!

I always like to know what other people pack in their suitcases because it shows what works well for them. That way I can try it too to see if it'll work for me.
It's also a good way of showing me items that multi-task, for example the iPad case/makeup bag/clutch bag.
If it's one thing that I got from this, it's that you can never have too many bikinis.

Favourite item: Blue cotton shorts, £85, by Comptoir des Cotonniers

Favourite item: Black & White swimsuit, £40, by American Apparel

Favourite item: Cotton shoes, £24.95, by Gap

Style for Less is my life saviour. It proves to me that fashion doesn't always mean going to the top expensive shops that break the balance. Fashion and beauty can be enjoyed on all levels of richness and poorness.

This month the styles are quite laid back and free which I like because it means that the clothes are comfortable.

Loving Soap & Glory Right Now

I've always wanted to try some products from Soap & Glory but I didn't know where to start! I knew that Soap & Glory do a good variety of stuff but I thought that it was good to start with some body items.

Soap & Glory Box Set including a good storage box and a shower puff

I decided to buy 'The Righteous Butter' body butter, 'A Great Kisser' lip balm, 'Clean On Me' moisturising shower gel, 'Hand Food' hand cream and 'The Scrub Of Your Life' body scrub.

They all came in a box that I'll keep for storage and a shower puff.

 All of the products smell so good! They all have the Original Pink fragrance which I think is quite floral but also has hints of citrus.

Another bonus with this, is that the size of the bottles is quite small which means that it works well for travelling.

My favourite, one that I'll definitely be getting again, is the 'Hand Food' it is so moisturising and leaves my hands really smooth.

For me, lip balm is too sticky and too shiny so unfortunately it's not for me.

I will definitely be trying more of Soap & Glory's range in the future!
