If, like me, you have approximately zero plans for a summer holiday this year (hello global pandemic), you might be getting a dose of the green-eyed monster every time you scroll through your Instagram feed.

Whilst my only big trip has been to Sainsburys, some people have braved our air bridges and managed to get away for a few days of sun, sea and Lays (preferably Jamon flavoured).

One of those people being one fourth of Little Mix, Perrie Edwards, who is on holiday with her boyfriend Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Which is kinda appropriate seeing as their new song is aptly named, 'Holiday'.

Living and breathing the brand.

Perrie posted some pictures to Instagram looking mighty, mighty fine in a red, crocheted bikini, complete with an adorable, dainty seashell necklace and earrings.

As much as I was feeling Perrie's fit, I was more obsessed with her makeup free face (well base at least).

As someone who is beyond jealous of all you naturally freckled people, seeing all of Perrie's freckles proudly on show made me beyond envious.

Look how naturally sun-kissed she looks, someone pass me my freckle tint immediately.

If you are lucky enough to be naturally blessed with freckles, please don't judge me for cheating the effect myself.

Faux freckles were a makeup artists backstage secret, but thanks to brands like Lottie London and their Freckle Tint, us plain people can join in the sun-kissed look to.

Sadly there's not a product that will help you become the fifth member of Little Mix though...
