Ella Pitt: gotta get

GOTTA GET BIKINIS (ZUCCHINIS MARTINIS...)

It might be cold and raining outside, but lately my mind has been in holiday mode! The countdown is on for my Thailand adventure and I couldn't be more excited! We have decided that we will be taking travelling backpacks, so I really need to learn the art of packing light & I need to learn it fast. I usually take 100s of bikini's on holiday with me, and end up wearing the same one everyday - so this time I'm trying to source out the best two bikinis on the market and just take TWO on holiday with me!

First up, the holy grail of bikini's - Triangl Swimwear. If you haven't heard of Triangl, you've been living under a rock. A couple of years ago Triangl took over the bikini game and can now be seen on every hot girl all over the world. I am seriously lusting over their new designs & defiantly considering investing into one of their amazing bikinis. The set I have my eye on at the moment is the Dolly - Thunderbolt one.

I've never been the biggest fan of River Island - however their swimwear range is killing it at the moment! I fell in love wit this Black Crochet Cami Bikini Top (you can get it here). I think this is the perfect Thailand bikini & would be great to mix & match it up as well.

I've been watching a lot of ex of the beach recently (sorry not sorry) and I've been loving Megan McKenna's plunge swimsuits. I think it's perfect for days when you know you're going to be in and out of the water and just want to be a little more covered. I've got my eye on this ASOS neon swimsuit- I think it would look fab with a tan! You can get it here

And lastly, a simple black bikini with frill detail. You can't go wrong with a black bikini and it seems to be what I always gravitate towards when I'm on holiday anyway. I kind of fell in love with this swimsuit last night when I came across it on ASOS. The frill detail really makes it unique and cute - and again black goes great with a tan!

So, I haven't made my mind up yet - but these are definitely some strong contenders in my bikini game! Where is your favourite place to get bikinis? Do you have any recommendations for me? Let me know in the comments!

GOTTA GET MAKE UP BRUSHES

This week's obsession is make-up brushes. I physically can not do my make-up without a good set of make-up brushes. I've gone through a couple of sets in my make-up wearing life, but I'm always so impatient for the next! Here's a few that I have my eye on at the moment.

First up the the 'My Essential Artistry' range my My Kit Co which you can purchase here. I'd never heard of this company before, until I came across a review online. This kit contains 12 brushes for face, eyes and lips. They look really high quality & I am definitely on the edge for trying these out. The only thing holding me back is the price. For £155 these brushes would be an investment. My Kit Co also have a range of pro brushes for make-up artists.

Next up is the 12 piece Siren Brush Set & Roll which you can purchase from Spectrum brushes here. I have to admit I came very close to purchasing this set the other day. None only are the brushes gorgeous, the sushi roll set them came in is insta-merbabe-fabulous. I have previously ordered the glam calm from Spectrum brushes before and really enjoyed the packaging and brushes - and just to add their customer service is extremely good. The only problem I've had is that over time a couple of most used brushes have broken on me, but I think these sets are reasonably priced and I didn't expect them to last forever.

Zoeva's Rose Golden Complete Golden Set in a make-up lovers dream which you can purchase here. Not only am I a complete magpie for anything rose gold, I have heard such good blogger reviews regarding Zoeva products! I would be really interested to try these products out and see if they live up to the hype or are just another pretty brush set.

More a make-up brush set not to be rivaled with, it's gotta be Charlotte Tilbury. Her complete brush set, that you can buy here, is something out of make-up lovers dream. Rose gold & the highest of quality, I think every girl dreams of owning this brush set. However, not many people I know will be splashing out on this beauty when it comes in at £240!

So, there's my top 4 gotta get make-up brush sets. What sets have you got your eye on? Do you own any these set? Let me know in the comments!
