Hiiiiiiiii,
so it's been a while hasn't it? I've got to apologize, because if you read my last post (around this time last year...) I said that I was going to try and start posting again. Well, that clearly didn't happen did it.

This past year has been INSANE.
There's been a few ups and many downs and things have completely changed in my life, I almost feel like I'd taken 3 step forward and now I've taken about 10 steps back. I'm not ready to explain in detail what these changes have been, but I'm sure I'll explain in another post at some point.

The fact that so many things in my life have changed has made me feel like taking up my blog again would really help me express and use my energy in a more productive way. So this is me, apologizing for disappearing and asking you all to forgive me and bear with me while I return to something I love to do.

It'll be a slow process, but I'm excited to get back into the blogging community that I love so much.
Speak to you all soon!

xoxo

These paisley trousers are just life, they are so so beautiful and I need them in my life right now and I promise I would never take them off ever. They are monochrome loveliness. I've never really owned a watch properly, not one that I can wear like all day everyday and I just fell a little bit in love with this Olivia Burton dusty pink one, it's so pretty and delicate and I think watches always look so nice in an outfit (that is probably really weird).

I love orange- red shades for spring/summer I think they are absolutely beautiful and I'm slowly becoming more confident in wearing red lips. I think if you don't think you'll suit red lips to go for a more orange toned red as it just looks a bit less in your face. Lastly, is this beautiful little number from my favourite shop. I think it would look amazing with either some sandals or some little ankle boots or anything really, I just love it!

After seeing the hype that was taking place on the internet over the new Benefit Roller Lash mascara, I felt that as a beauty blogger it would be so wrong if I didn't get a sample myself a review it.

I think the packaging for this product is so cute and pretty, I love the pink/ rose gold colour of the lid and the pink and black together just looks so vintage, I'm a really big fan of it. Although it's not a full sized one, I actually think I prefer this size purely because it's the perfect size for your handbag and make up bag and doesn't take up much space.


I do see why everyone likes this product and I think the wand is perfect for separating lashes and lengthening them as well, I don't find it makes them very thick but I'm not a fan of big thick lashes as I prefer for my lashes to look more natural and this definitely achieves that look. I also like that it doesn't have brush bits at the end like they're real which always causes loads of product to clump on my lashes and it just gets EVERYWHERE. I also find that it really adds so much curl to your lashes as well, I've never had particularly straight lashes so they are pretty curly as it is but this just makes them look that bit better. It's like a 'your lashes, but better' type affect.

Hopefully from the above photo you can see what I mean! They don't look overly fake, they just extend my lashes without making it look like I've got much mascara on and I absolutely love it. I think it's definitely worth trying if you're interested in trying a high end mascara as it seems to give every single person a different look, but it always seems to be the desired effect.

I've nearly run out of my Urban Decay flushed palette which I reviewed on my blog here, and so I've been on the hunt for a new highlighter, bronzer and blush. So far I'm still looking for a highlighter, but I've managed to get the other two and they are absolute dynamite!


 As you can see from the above photo I decided to go for the Bourjois bronzing powder, and so far I am so impressed with how much I love it. It's absolutely brilliant! I love the shade it's so warm and looks very natural and it's a lot less shimmery than my Urban Decay one so it looks much more natural on my skins and although I was really worried it was going to be too dark, it works so well and blends like a dream. It also smells absolutely amazing, I cannot get over the smell! Whenever I'm using it I force Adam to smell it because I love it so much.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the cardboard container as I was worried it would get quite battered up in my make up bag, but so far there hasn't actually been any problems with the packaging which is a huge plus and I actually really like the packaging. I can see why some people probably don't, but I love it. As you can see in the photo above it does appear to be quite dark, but I promise its not that noticeable! It just gives a really natural gorgeous glow.

It retails for about £7/£8 in the UK which isn't really that bad, I didn't think it was too bad anyway but maybe I'm wrong. I'd definitely purchase it again because for the price you get your money's worth and I just love it so much!!

Have you used Bourjois bronzing powder before?

So, March was a very up and down month. There was high points and really low points, and at the particularly low points I posted this quote, if you can't read it it says "a negative mind will never give you a positive life" and I just had to keep trying to remind myself of this quote which is hard but if you are having a hard time right now then remember this quote because it will make you feel a little bit better. It was also mothers day this month and so I posted a cute little photo of me and my mumma because she is a diamond and I love her a lot. It was also mine and Adams 'year anniversary' I feel weird calling it an anniversary if it's only a year, but that's what it is so oh well! We went out for a lovely meal at Ask and enjoyed it so much and I've enjoyed the last year with him so much. Lastly, my best friend Chloe and I had a long awaited night in with wine, chats and just general loveliness.

So that was my month of March, how was yours?

Here are some of my absolute favourite songs from the past month, it's quite a mixed bag of music but I love them all equally and keep listening to them on repeat!

What songs have you loved this month?

I personally think this is the perfect budget buy and Bourjois have made a real winner for me here, it's long lasting with a range of different red shades and it's matte. Whats not to love? I will absolutely plan on re-purchasing this little gem!
