I’ve never been to a festival before but going on the research I’ve done and memories friends have of their festival experiences, they sound like a lot of fun! When Superdrug gave me this as my first challenge I decided to hit the shops and search for my ultimate festival outfit. Along with this I also decided to create an over the top festival beauty look, including dramatic eye make-up and statement nails – (I have been told lots of glitter and vibrant colours tend to be the norm at festivals!).

To achieve this over the top festival eye look I used the following products:

MUA  (Make Up Academy) – all of the products in this range retail at a bargain price of £1 each! However this new and exclusive range is only stocked in limited Superdrug stores. Find out here if your nearest Superdrug stocks this brand.

• Nail Varnish – Shade 5
• Black Liquid Eyeliner – Shade 5

Barry M – 2 for £7 offer on at the moment, an excuse to treat yourself!

• Dazzle Dust – 22 Electric Blue
• Dazzle Dust – 85 Neon Pink

Maybelline - the best ‘false lash’ looking mascara I’ve tried

• Mascara – The Falsies Volum’ Express Mascara (black)

Now on to the ultimate festival outfit… Believe me this look took countless days and need I say numerous trips back and forth to the shops to get right!

A closer look at the outfit:

• a summery, knee length, floral print dress
• a plain white vest
• a pair of black glittery wellies – a must have for festivals; you can never predict the British weather so you need to be prepared for anything!
• an over the shoulder straw bag – these are handy to take with you; easy to carry and your belongings are always close by
• a pair of sunglasses – just in case the sun decides to make an appearance!
• and as for the hair a messy plait – easy to do and very festival chic

This outfit can be teamed with a few different accessories to transform it to fit in whatever the weather.

If it’s raining – add a few more layers on top of the dress to keep you warm, along with a waterproof jacket and an umbrella!

If the suns shining and there’s no rain in sight maybe brave a pair of gladiators or pumps!

Now, to finish off this blog post, I was thinking… If I were to ever go to a festival, I would certainly need a ‘Survival Kit’. I am a very accident prone person, I literally fall over thin air, and my memories of camping (school trips) are not good… So that got me thinking, what could go wrong and what could I possibly need? Now I would be here forever if I were to write down every single thing I could possibly need for a ‘Survival Kit’ so I will list my top 5 must haves for accident prone people!

1. the wearing of wellies – I am most likely to get blisters knowing my luck and no doubt need some plasters - 40 in a pack; these should keep me stocked up nicely for the festival season!
2. sunburn – memories of Spain 2005 and sun stroke still haunt me to this day! – keep protected with sun cream and after sun, Superdrug have a huge range of brands and offers on sun care this season.
3. baby wipes – thousands of people sharing limited portaloos, need I say more? Baby wipes are ideal, you get a lot in one pack and they come at a cheap price! They can also be used for removing make up or just freshening up
4. deodorant – no one wants to smell like they’ve been up partying all night – even if they have! Sure deodorant is on offer 2 for £3
5. antibacterial hand gel – there is bound to be a lot of germs lurking about in a festival environment, anti-bacterial hand gel is the perfect thing to carry around as it’s easier to use than having to find a place in which you can wash your hands

So here’s hoping I’ll be able to experience my first festival soon – fingers crossed!

I hope you all enjoyed reading my festival post. Keep your eyes peeled for my upcoming posts!
