New month, new favourites. It's the same every month but I cannot believe how fast this year is going! Its nearly April, which is so scary! There have been some new favourites this month and also some oldies that I have come back to which I had forgotten about.

So lets begin...



L'oreal Nude Magique Blur cream
So this little number has stolen the show for me this month. As many will know I am in love with the Benefit Porefessional primer, however my bank balance doesn't seem to agree. I have been on the hunt for a good primer that will hide my pores for less price. Finally I have found it! Granted, its not AS good as my beloved Benefit Porefessional but its darn close! The texture of this is very similar to the Benefit Porefessional, in the sense it feels silicone based, and it does a very good job at hiding my pores and creating a good base for my makeup. I have found my makeup applies just as good and the lasting power is really good also! Two thumbs up from me, and at just £9.99!!! 


Urban Decay Naked 2 palette
My next beauty favourite for this month is an oldie but a goodie, my tried and tested Urban Decay Naked 2 palette.  There's not really much more good things I can say about this, as I've said it all before. All the colours are beautiful and so versatile, it is so so easy to get both a day time or night time look with this. The shadows are so blendable and really suit my skin tone, as I can imagine they would for most skin tones! I am also a huge fan of the Naked 3 palette, however, the neutral colours in this palette make it my go-to eyeshadow look.


MAC powder blush - Melba
Finally for my beauty favourites for the month is MAC blush in Melba. This is such a beautiful matte shade that goes well with so many different skin tones, especially dark skin! (Picture on Instagram). I was looking for a matte shade as all of my blushes seem to have a shimmer running through it. So I went to MAC and this one caught my eye! (It was a toss up between this and Peaches blush from MAC, so if anyone has tried Peaches I would love to hear your feedback). This is so perfect for a natural flushed look and a little goes a long way.

Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
Moving onto my non-beauty favourites. There has been so much hype surrounding this book, so when my Nan kindly offered this to me I thought 'Hey, why not?'. I started reading the first few pages and I love it!! I study Criminology in university so this is right up my street! I haven't been able to finish it yet because I have had so much coursework to do but I aim to finish it soon and will hopefully write up a review on my thoughts of it! So no spoilers please!!!

YouTube
Seeing as I am a student, my laptop is my bestfriend when it comes to catching up on my favourite soaps/programmes. I have always loved watching things on YouTube but since starting university I haven't really had the time to as much as I would have liked. However, this month, I have really got back into watching YouTube videos, even if they are just on in the background. My favourite has got to be itsJudyslife while doing my makeup, I cant stop watching them! It seems like ages since I sat down and watched daily vlogs, and now I have got back into it, its like a soap that I cant miss a day of watching!! (comment if you agree, so I don't feel so crazy).


Fugifilm Instax Mini 8
Lastly, I have had this camera for a while now (well since Christmas) and I absolutely love it! It takes such cute little photos, which I pin up on my little notice board. I love the idea that you have the memories there and then to keep forever. I am going to London in June and cannot wait to take this with me to take loads of cute photos!

Thank you for reading,
hope you're all safe and well and had a fabulous month of March.
Lots of love,

I was lucky enough to attend an event in The Ritz, London, yesterday for the launch of kids-scorned.co.uk.
The website is for children who have been affected by infidelity and need someone to talk to. For more information visit their website http://www.kids-scorned.co.uk/

I only managed to take a few photos of the event, (even some classy toilet pics, but its in The Ritz, so its acceptable right?) so I just wanted to write a quick post, with some bad quality pictures, of my outfit.

I am absolutely obsessed with these heels from Public Desire, I feel so Kimmy K in them! I just paired then with some fitted River Island trousers and a plain black New Look blazer, keeping the outfit minimal.

                                                                                       Lots of love, 
                                                                                        Soph xxx

I am absolutely in love with my University campus and thought it was a beautiful place to take a few blog pictures! (Although the wind was not my friend today) This was a comfy library day for me, so I threw on my trusty white(ish) converse and a denim shirt and headed for the door. I am also in love with this coat, it goes over everything and looks so chic with any outfit, especially paired with this fur collar.

Lots of love, Soph xxxx

Been feeling a bit bleh lately. Don't know if its the winter weather or hormones, but I have decied to do something about it. I am going to start BooTea's Teatox. I'm not necessarily doing this to try and lose weight but I was to flush out my system and refresh my body.

I've seen all these celebs and bloggers try detox tea so I bit the bullet and went out and bought this from Holland and Barrett. I'm not sure if all Holland and Barrett's sell these but my local one did. If not they can be found online and if you type in 'discount codes' I'm pretty sure there will be some sort of discount. However, I will try to keep you updated to give my honest opinion as to if I feel like its worth the money.

The way it works is you take the 'daytime detox' once a day and the 'bedtime detox' every other day to flush out your system (if you get what I mean...). For more information check out the website: http://www.bootea.com/

I've done the first day and so far so good! It tastes like herbal tea (as to be expected) it is stronger than I would normally have my tea but it isn't unpleasant to drink. But like I said I will keep you updated as to how it goes and my experiences with it.

If you have tried this please leave me a comment as to if you liked it! Would love your opinions on it. Ps I am in no way sponsored, I paid for this out of my own money.

Lots of love,
Soph xxxx
