HELLO.
Long time, no post! First and foremost, I hope you all had the most
wonderful Easter and are now fully revived from your Chocolate comas. I've had this post roughly drafted for the past few weeks although, rather annoyingly, hectic student and adult life has stood in my way of posting recently. So, although I'm a little behind and we're already half way through April, (that's craaaaazy) I thought I'd kick things off with what goodies I've been loving in the past month or so.
The M.A.C 'Sin' Matte lipstick & 'Burgundy' Lip pencil combination
My love. Admittedly, this shade isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, as it's a rather daring shade and a pallet a lot of people would probably discard trying at this time of year. Sin is a deep purply matte with dark reddish tones running throughout, the perfect inbetween shade. Many people would describe this pallet zone as more of an evening shade, although I have also worn this on a day to day basis to add edge to a simple daytime look.

The Missguided Mini Tassel bag
I usually carry the equivalent of a suitcase around with me everywhere which turned into a bit of a pain, especially in overly crowed public places,
disaster. I was looking for an affordable day to night bag, which was big enough to fit my essentials in yet small enough to not make me appear as though I'm going on holiday. I stumbled across this little beauty and the simplicity of the box like shape, along with the cute horseshoe fastening and tassel detailing drew me in instantly.

The Missguided Beaded detail, mesh body
This isn't a piece I'd usually purchase, as believe when I say, it doesn't leave much to the imagination, and I'm not the most body confident but fortunately, this is one outfit risk that payed off. I usually team this with my black thigh high split skirt for a night out, although the outfit choices are almost endless with a body. A must for the wardrobe. The mesh and beautiful, high neck detailing is what drew me to the piece and considering the £20 price tag, I'm thrilled with the quality.

Nike Air force 1's
I'm the clumsiest person alive, so purchasing ALL white trainers probably wasn't my brightest of moments. Air force 1's aren't to many peoples taste, although the chunkiness of the sole has been exactly what I've been looking for, and perfect for my new and upcoming minimalist based wardrobe.

The Sanctuary Spa 'Gentle Polish Body Scrub' & 'Silky Smooth Body Lotion'
Believe it or not, I lost my Sanctuary Spa virginity only a few small weeks ago, a brand I had been looking to try for quite some time. The affordable range can be bought from either Boots or online, from the company website. I loved the packaging its self and the gift sets are simply impeccable. The two products I trialed we're similarly scented and very light. A true Spring like scent.
