Love Island beauty shares swimwear hack that makes her feel 10 times better

Love Island star Samie Elishi has revealed the simple holiday beauty trick that gives her an instant confidence boost.

The reality star, 26, opened up about the beauty secret she relied on while taking part Miami Swim Week earlier this year, where she wowed on the catwalk alongside fellow villa royalty Millie Court and Sophie Piper.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, Samie recalled the moment she needed an extra confidence boost, admitting it was one of the most frightening but exciting things she has ever done. Samie said: That was probably the most scariest thing I've ever done in my whole life, but the most amazing thing at the same time. I had Sophie and Millie there. Thank God, they were just holding my hand the whole time. We were holding each other's hand.

Samie revealed that alongside a few tequila shots, body glow was the secret weapon that helped them feel ready. We had a few shots of tequila, but the body glow you have to cover yourself to cover yourself, she laughed.

The W7 body glow was in my wash bag, and that is what me, Sophie, and Millie used. You feel 10 times better. You feel 10 times more insane. She joked: So tequila and Body Glow. That was basically it.

The Love Island favourite, who is now an ambassador for beauty brand W7, also opened up about why the partnership was such a natural fit after years of using the products herself.

Samie explained: W7 has basically been a brand since I've been working with since I come out of Love Island first time. Then becoming an ambassador only came into fruition at the start of this year.

The star said she loved that the brand offered affordable beauty options that still delivered the same effect as more expensive products. It was insane, it felt like the most natural thing because I actually used their products, she said.

Samie admitted that when she was younger, finding affordable beauty products was important to her.

I know my audience, my audience is quite young, and I'll be honest, growing up I didn't have a lot of money, she said.

There was no chance I was going in buying Charlotte Tilbury from Boots or Superdrug or whatever. Like I just wasn't doing it, so I was always trying to find dupes.

And I feel like W7 just do it perfectly to the point where you can't even tell the difference.

The star also revealed her everyday favourite from the brand is the W7 bronzing drops, which she says she uses constantly for a natural summer glow.

My go-to? Do you know what, I would actually say the bronzing drops W7, she admitted.

I feel like every day, even now, I have them on. I don't wear foundation every day, and that's very much my style. I like a bronzy, quite natural, glowy situation.

Samie added: I think I've gone through about seven bottles this year. They are only small, but you don't need a lot. But I have literally gone through them so much. I think they're amazing.
