i am finally back (not that anyone will have noticed i ever disappeared!) and easing myself back into blogging with a wishlist post of bits and pieces i've found myself lusting over lately. i'm hoping i'll be able to get back to blogging more frequently, but who knows! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>One | Ring | ASOS | £32 |</b> There is nothing i love more than a classic, simple ring, and this beauty from ASOS will go with any outfit you throw on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Two | Clutch | Dorothy Perkins | £20 |</b> The only reason i haven't already snapped this up is that i can't bare to spend £20 on a clutch (and the fact that i never go 'out out', but we'll ignore that). I like to think Micky Flanagan had a little input into this...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Three | Shirt | Vila @ ASOS | £20</b> | I think this is going to be the next ASOS purchase i make, there's just something about the print that's made me fall in love! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Four | Cut-Out Tee | Ebay | £4.45</b> | I came across this beauty whilst on one of my many ebay trawls, and i love the cut-out and cross back detailing - an edgy take on a classic white tee.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Five | Birkenstocks | ASOS | £54.50 |</b> I've fallen for the Birkenstock trend, and missed out on the Primark dupes, so i've ended up lusting over these gorgeous pale blue ones, but just can't bring myself to spend £50 on them. I'm hoping they'll have some at the airport when i head to Miami in October!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Six | Heels | Office | £65 | </b>Believe me, these are even more beautiful in real life. I am dying to get my hands on these as the perfect daytime heel!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Seven | Suitcase | Ted Baker | £295 | </b>I mean, just look at it... UGH!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Eight | Kimono | Ebay | £3.58 | </b>Another ebay bargain, and perfect for crossing into AW!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nine | Dress | Missguided | £24.99 | </b>I am so obsessed with this colour lately, and the tonal embellishments just make this dress dreamy blue perfection!</div>

Sorry I've been so quiet on the blogging front lately, it's just not something I have time for right now due to my job, but I will be trying to make some more time for it as and when i can. Having said that, I did head off to Paris with two of my best friends Ellie & Pia this weekend to see McBusted & One Direction, so I decided to vlog the weekend, so here you go! I'll warn you now, if you're not a 1D fan, you may not enjoy it!</div>

<br />
since primers became a 'thing' in the beauty world, i've tried out a fair few, but i've never really found that any of them have made a difference in making my makeup last any longer on my face than normal so i sort of gave up with them. but recently i heard a fair few things about this new release from <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Max Factor</span></i></b> - their <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Facefinity All Day Primer</span></i></b>. This is supposedly the secret ingredient in their best-selling All Day Flawless foundation that makes it last all day, and they've taken it out and made it into a free-standing primer, and let me tell you that this is the only primer that has ever worked for me.<br />
<br />
now i've started work, early mornings are routine and i'm applying my makeup at around 6.30am and i was finding that my foundation was almost gone by the time lunchtime came around and my makeup just looked terrible. there was barely any trace of it left by the time it came to taking it off at night and in all honesty it was getting me down quite a bit. and this little beauty has definitely been a game changer for me. my makeup is lasting for the whole working day and there's actually makeup left on my face at the end of the day to remove. it creates a flawless base for my foundation and honestly helps my makeup stick around all day, and it only needs the odd touch-up if i'm then going out in the evening. it's a white creamy formula which is super blendable and sinks into the skin leaving it feeling fairly soft and silky, and one pump gives enough product to cover your whole face, so this bottle will definitely be lasting me a long while, too! it's also left me wanting to try the All Day Flawless Foundation too, as they sound like a pretty long-lasting duo.<br />
<br />
you can pick up the <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Max Factor Facefinity All Day Primer</span></i></b> in Boots or Superdrug for £10.99<br />

i'm going to put it out there, it makes me a little queasy that this post contains over £100 worth of eyeshadow... but isn't it just so <span style="color: #c27ba0; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">pretty!? </span>back in october i shared my first <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">MAC quad</span></i></b> with you, and somehow i've ended up with enough shadows to fill a second one! half the blame for this is going to my best friend Mollie, after i fell in love with two of the shades in her palette a couple of weeks back, and the other half is going straight to Debenhams for 10% off beauty... a girl just can't resist.<br />
<br />
i've actually shuffled the shades around a little since my original post, so i thought i'd update you all here! i also found it so tough to get pictures that accurately show off the colours, but i can promise you that the image of the swatches is true to life! i've kept the first quad for the lighter colours, and that kicks off with one of my new additions - <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Naked Lunch</span></i></b> (top left). a cult blogger favourite, but one i'd failed to add to my collection until i'd tried it, and i just knew i had to get my hands on it. it's a gorgeous champagne colour from the frost line and i've been using it as a base shadow all over my lid and occasionally as a highlight for the inner corner. top right is <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">All That Glitters</span></i></b>, which is a veluxe pearl finish. this is similar to Naked Lunch, but this is slightly more pigmented and is more gold-toned than the pink flecks in Naked Lunch and this is another fab base colour. <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Patina</span></i></b> is in the bottom left and this is another new shadow, again from the frost finish. this is the perfect brown for an everyday nude smokey eye - it's not too heavy and just adds the right amount of definition. finally in my lighter quad is another veluxe pearl in the form of <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Woodwinked </span></i></b>which is a gorgeous bronze/gold shade which i tend to use on the outer half of my lid to add a bit more dimension to an eye look.<br />
<br />
the second quad has the darker of the shades, and the first is <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Satin Taupe</span></i></b> which is a frost finish. this is the only shadow i have which has more of a silver tone to it than a nudey gold tone, and works great for a warm smoky look. <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Cranberry</span></i></b> in the top left is the odd one out in my collection and the least used, especially in the spring and summer. it's another frost finish shadow and i use this in the winter just as an accent colour in my crease and sometimes on my lashline just to go for a more wintery eye look. <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Sable</span></i></b>, on the bottom left, is quite possibly my favourite, which has plummy undertones to it's bronze colour and blends in so nicely with Satin Taupe for the ultimate warm smoky eye; it's just to die for and is another frost finish. finally i have <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Mulch</span></i></b>, a frost finish would you believe, which is my favourite colour for the outer corner and crease definition. it's not too pigmented or dark do that it looks like you've piled on the shadow, it's great for an everyday eye, but can really be built up for a more dramatic evening look.<br />
<br />
so there we have it, my MAC shadow collection! is it obvious that i never venture from a nude eye look?! i hope this post helps some of you, and this is me officially telling you all to not let me ever be tempted to get a full palette!<br />

finally, a new beauty review! i'm so sorry i've been so absent lately, but i've just finished my final year of uni and started a new job, so i've had other priorities at the moment! but alas, i am back with todays review, and i also posted my April haul last week which you can watch by clicking<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b><i> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwgOpDeHH9U&list=UUnAzdNJnNAswdDD7ly6eROg">here</a>.</i></b></span><br />
<br />
but back to the good stuff! half the reason i've not blogged recently is because i've not actually bought any new beauty bits, but i've had a bit of a splurge these last few days and have lots of new bits to share with you! this is actually one of those naughty blogger inspired purchases, and i'm pinning the blame for this one on one of my favourites<b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;"> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/voussontbeauetbelle">Becca Rose</a></span></i></b>. She actually featured the new <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Topshop Glowstick</span></i></b> in the golden shade - Play Up - which is the shade i went on the hunt for, but alas, my luck was out but i ended up falling in love with this one, too. <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Spotlight</span></i></b> is a gorgeous shimmery pink shade, very similar to <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">NARS Orgasm</span></i></b> and <b><i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Sleek's Rose Gold </span></i></b>blushes, but in a cream, wind-up stick form.<br />
<br />
the consistency is super silky, and glides on really easily, plus it's easy to blend, too. i know these are intended as highlights, but i will definitely be using this as a blush as i think it just adds a really natural, rosy flush to the cheeks, but i will definitely be picking up Play Up too to use as a highlight as i just love the formula of these. it doesn't feel heavy or cakey on the skin, and just blends to a really light coverage, or you can build it up for more of a statement look. plus, a little bit goes a long way, so i can see this lasting me a long while too, and it really stays put throughout the day so there's no worrying about reapplying.<br />
<br />
Spotlight is £10, and available in Topshop stores and at <a href="http://www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/make-up-431/face-1906567/glow-stick-in-spotlight-2729522?bi=1&ps=20">topshop.com</a>.<br />

If you're going to settle down and watch this one, i'm going to suggest you get yourself a cup of tea (or three!) as this ended up being a lot longer than i anticipated. if you make it to the end, kudos to you!<br />

<br />
last week i was lucky enough to win the new <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Models Own Polish For Tans Collection</span></b>, and i'm so in love that i couldn't resist sharing them with you!<br />
<br />
the collection is designed to enhance to golden colour of a natural (or fake, if you're as pasty as i am!) tan and consists of five complimenting summer shades. <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Models Own</b></span> describe them as 'neon-pastels', but they are definitely much more on the neon side in my opinion, and i think they've definitely caught the attention of a few people when i've been testing them all out this week, especially as i normally stick to pastels in the warmer seasons. these definitely look a lot better with a tan than my usual pale complexion and i think that's because the neon hints of colour just make it stand out so much more against lighter skin, so i will be reserving these for the times i can be bothered to tan. i just really love the concept of this collection and the shades are the perfect subtle neon in comparison to other neon shades which are far too in your face. if you want to add a pop of colour to your look without it being too OTT, then these will be fab, especially when they're complimenting that summer tan!<br /><br />shade-wise, i think <b style="color: #c27ba0;">Bikini </b>(a stunning fluorescent yellow) and<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b> Flip Flop</b></span> (a really eye-catching limi green) have to be my current favourites, especially as there's also so much of these colours on the high street and making its way into my wardrobe at the moment and i love being able to match my nails to an outfit. <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Beach Bag</span></b> is your typical orangey coral shade, and <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Shades</span></b> is a much more pink-based coral. <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Sun Hat</span></b> is the ultimate girly shade and can only be described as Barbie pink! who else loves the equally summery shade names?<br />
<br />
all of the colours are opaque in two coats, and are a lovely thick and even consistency. they last about two to three days before big chips start to show up, but they still work great for topping up those little chips. it's safe to say that these are now my staple summer polishes, and if you want to pick them up then they're currently in the <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b><a href="http://www.modelsownit.com/">Models Own</a> 6 for £20 offer</b></span> (basically 6 for the price of 4!!).<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
pastels have to be my favourite shades to wear on the nails, so the recent release of the <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">'Les Blancs'</span></b> collection from L'Oreal was right up my street. i obviously already have pastels in my collection, but nothing quite like the gorgeous shades from this collection, and as the Les Blancs name would suggest, these are very like white polishes with just a hint of the colour thrown in, and L'Oreal describe them as macaroon shades, so i'm guessing the name and colour inspiration comes from the yummy treats themselves! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i picked up <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>852 Pistachio Dragee,</b></span> a gorgeous pale, minty green and <b><span style="color: #a64d79;">851 Nouvelle Vague</span></b> which is the perfect pastel purple shade, and my nails have barely been without one of these colours since i picked them up. as you can see, the colours are absolutely gorgeous, and the consistency is really nice and thick and is opaque in just two coats (or one if you apply it super thick). they apply like a dream with equally as dreamy colours, but i do have a couple of woes with these polishes...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
firstly, they chip like a you-know-what, which is majorly disappointing, and will do so from the smallest things. i applied this one night before bed, and by the time i'd woken up and got ready for the day 50% of my nails were chipped. i have since invested in a decent top coat (Revlon's No Chip top coat, but that's a whole other review) which is helping, but the constant chipping has meant i've been getting through these little bottles at a speedy rate, which leads me onto my second woe - the bottles are teeny tiny for the price. these are £4.99 each for just 5ml, so compared to Models Own where you can get almost three times as much polish for the same price, you get the jist. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but even taking all of this into consideration, i know i'll end up adding the other two shades to my collection - a lemony shade called Lemon Meringue and a pinky peach called Peach Negligee - in the near future, i just wish the bottles were a bit bigger, or the price a little lower, but what's a girl to do when she wants pretty pastel nails?!</div>

happy friday, girls! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
today's post may be a bit cheeky, and extremely out of my reach, but the Company magazine #Style Blogger Awards have rolled around again, and i would be so, so grateful if you could nominate my blog for Best Personal Style. i know i have zero chance of getting anywhere with this, but i've stuck at my blog and put a lot of effort into it for two years now alongside studying for a degree, and it's been tough to sit and watch newer blogs grow so much quicker than my little old one, so i'm giving this a go to show that hard work and dedication can pay off. so if you like my OOTD's and <strike>very frequent</strike> hauls, then please click <a href="http://www.company.co.uk/magazine-hq/company-style-blogger-awards-2014">here</a> where you can nominate me. like i said, i don't anticipate to get anywhere with this, but it would mean a lot if even only a couple of you put my blog forward.</div>

hello! another thursday, another outfit - i'm going to try and get one of these up every week now. thankfully, this will be the last lot of photos that will be taken in my shoddy uni room as i'm moving home tomorrow at long last! also, i've just got a new phone with a pretty snazzy camera which i'm still trying to get to grips with, so please bare with me photos-wise while i'm still learning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
this week, i've bought something a little different and picked up some white jeans, and these are from Zara. this may be the silliest purchase i've ever made as i know i'll never keep them clean, but they just look so fresh for the summer, and have really helped update my wardrobe. plus, they are probably the best jeans i've ever bought - they're super soft, and the perfect fit (something which usually takes me a good 20-odd pairs to find), so i'm pretty chuffed seeing as i picked these up on a whim! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for this look i've gone for the perfect transitional spring outfit that will work for days in the office, but still be fab to meet friends for dinner and drinks in the evening. the little cami is H&M, and the pumps are my new favourite Primark bargains for just £4! </div>

a bit of a filler post today as i'm busy with the last week of term at uni and shooting the photos for my final collection, so i thought i'd share the bits i've been lusting over lately.<br />
<br />
as a nude shadow lover, this gorgeous <a href="http://www.crownbrush.co.uk/makeup-palettes/28-nude-eye-shadow-palette.html"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Crown Brush Nude Palette</span></b></a> needs to be added to my collection soon, it has all the colours you could wish for! i'm also dreaming of owning the stunning <a href="https://www.zoeva-shop.de/en/rose-golden-luxury-set/a-8000382/"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set</span></b></a> which needs no explaining - it's just so beautiful. the final beauty lust of the moment is<b><span style="color: #c27ba0;"> <a href="http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/veil-mineral-primer/">Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer</a> </span></b>after i fell in love with a sample i had, and i'm desperately waiting for a friend popping to America in the next few months to pick it up to me as it's so much cheaper in the States. talking of trips, i'm tempted to pick up this <a href="http://www.riverisland.com/women/bags--purses/make-up-bags--luggage/Light-pink-floral-quilted-suitcase-651445"><b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">River Island Suitcase</span></b></a> as i've just booked a weekend away in Paris with my best girls Ellie & Pia, and i'm already in full on holiday shop mode. i fell in love with these<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b> <a href="http://www.drmartens.com/uk/Womens/Womens-Shoes/Dr-Martens-Abril-Shoe/p/15723650#">Dr Martens Abril Shoes</a></b></span> on twitter, but the price tag made me wince a little bit, so i'll have to keep on admiring from afar and probably end up buying these <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;"><a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Ridley-High-Waist-Ultra-Skinny-Jeans-in-Busted-Blue-with-Busted-Knee/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3840728&cid=2623&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Busted+blue">ASOS Ridley Jeans</a>, <a href="http://www.asos.com/Asos/Asos-T-Shirt-With-V-Neck/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3532617&cid=11550&Rf-200=5&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=White">V-Neck Tee</a> </span></b>and <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b><a href="http://www.asos.com/River-Island/River-Island-Long-Sleeve-Floral-Print-Shirt/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4003761&cid=2623&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Cream">River Island Floral Shirt</a> </b></span>instead to satisfy my spending addiction!<br />

there's something about stripes and a red lip that makes me come over feeling all Parisienne - i just need to throw some garlic round my neck and i'm good to go! </div>

i couldn't resist sharing this bargain dress with you, and this is one of the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Primark £5</span></i></b> beauties. i picked this up a couple of weeks ago and i'm going to guess it'll be pretty popular, so head to your nearest store ASAP to see if they still have any! it makes an outfit by itself and just needs the basics of accessorising. i've again pulled out a tan bag to match my favourite <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><i>Forever 21 boots</i></b></span>, and also added these little tortoiseshell <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Primark sunnies</span></i></b>, too! i'm just wearing my normal selection of rings and <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Michael Kors watch</span></i></b>, chucked my hair up into a messy side bun, and added a slick of <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Revlon Lip Butter in Cherry</span></i></b> to my lips for a subtle pop of colour!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
the dress is actually cut so that it accentuates your waist, and i the three-quarter length sleeve is super flattering. the back is a slight scoop neck, but not so much so that you can't wear a bra - what more can you ask for for £5?! i'll definitely be keeping an eye out to see if they bring in any other staple prints for spring and summer!</div>

<br />
it's safe to say that i don't get on with eyelashes, purely because i do not have the knack and patience to apply them, and because they are usually too 'in your face' and look very OTT over my normal lashes, but when i was given the chance to try out the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Perfect Eyelashes Luxurious Strip Lashes(*) </span></i></b>and saw that they did a natural pair, i thought i would try them out and see how i got on.<br />
<br />
now i'm going to start off by throwing out a huge negative to these lashes - they didn't come with glue, and weren't pre-glued, which i thought was pretty disappointing, especially as these retail at £19.99, so i did have to go out and buy myself some glue before i could try these out (and lucky old me ended up with one that was almost dried out!). now i know that's not breaking the bank, but glue is a pretty essential part to false eyelashes, is it not? but negative out of the way, there's some definite positives to these lashes.<br />
<br />
i did have to cut mine down to size, but then i always have had to with any other lashes i've tried, so that was fine by me. my favourite thing is how thin the little strip is that the lashes are attached to. i don't wear eyeliner on the tops of my lids as i don't think it suits me, and other lashes i've tried in the past have always given me this look which is why i don't tend to wear them, but this thin little strip means that these sit really nicely on my lash line without making it look like i've piled on the liner. it also means that i could get the lashes to sit really closely to my natural lash line as they were much easier to work with and manipulate into place - they just make your lashes look a little fuller in general. i obviously can't comment on how long the lashes last as i was using a different brand of glue, so this would have nothing to do with the lashes themselves. and isn't the packaging just adorable? it's nice to have a little pick me up when you open the lid, and the box makes for the perfect storage to keep your reusable lashes safe in.<br />
<br />
as for how they look, i really like that the lashes incorporate longer and shorter individual lashes to give a much more natural look, and also that they are shaped at the inner and outer corners to match the look of your natural lashes. they are also made of human hair, so they're super soft and fluttery to blend in with your lashes and don't have that synthetic, slightly plasticy look of some drugstore lashes. the lashes are also reusable, so i think i could probably get 4-5 uses out of these before they start to look a bit battered. now apologies for iphone pictures here, but in the first picture below I have the lashes on my right eye (the left as you're looking at it) whilst the other eye is just my natural lashes, and in the second picture i have Benefit They're Real mascara on, just to give you an idea of the volume the lashes create. they give you equal intensity to using the Benefit mascara, and if you wear the lashes alone without any mascara you can see that they do add very natural looking length to your lashes.<br />

overall, i do think these are a little overpriced for lashes, especially with the no-glue situation, but they are a really good quality and actually match their 'natural' description, which i have found with some other lashes can still look very OTT! i'll invest in a decent lash glue, as i would definitely wear these to the right type of event. if you want to give the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Luxurious Strip Lashes(*) </span></i></b>a go then you can pick them up from their<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"> <a href="http://perfecteyelashes.co.uk/">online store</a></span></i></b> for £19.99, where the also come in <span style="color: #a64d79;"><b><i>Intense, Glam and Volume</i></b></span> styles if you're after a slightly different look.<br />

it would seem that<i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;"> E.L.F</span></b></i> are pretty on it when it comes to high end dupes. last week i shared their <a href="http://sophielouisew.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/the-review-elf-contouring-blush.html"><b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Contouring Blush & Bronzer</span></i></b></a> which is a great <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">NARS dupe,</span></i></b> and this week i have the<i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;"> <a href="http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/bronzers/bronzers/invt/83700">E.L.F Bronzer in Golden</a></span></b></i> which i picked up after seeing on Pinterest that it was a alternative for the <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Dior Amber Diamonds</span></b></i>, and after having a little Google, it does look pretty spot on! i would say that the only difference is that the E.L.F Bronzer is much less shimmery, but then it is promoted as a bronzer, whereas the original Dior palette is described as a shimmer powder, so you can't complain! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
now i love this product. as a pale skinned gal, the top left and bottom right shades work fab as a contour shade for me as they aren't a huge contrast against my skintone, but since pulling out the fake tan recently, i've really enjoyed using this as a highlighter. there are still very subtle shimmery pigments in this, and that makes for the perfect highlighting shade to match a tan, as it helps bring out a really natural and glowy look. this little palette is great for lighter and darker skintones for different uses if you want a really subtle, natural looking finish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
for just £3.95, this is absolutely worth buying, especially if, like me, you fell in love with the original Amber Diamonds palette but couldn't afford it! do any of you have other E.L.F products which are a great cheaper alternative to high end products?</div>

say hello to my new favourite pieces in my wardrobe! i was extremely lucky to win this <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Very Love Label <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/love-label-daisy-print-boxy-top/1339572474.prd?_requestid=43224">Daisy Print Top</a> and <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/love-label-daisy-printed-peg-trousers/1339579762.prd?numProducts=87">Trouser(*)</a> duo</span></i></b>, and i am in LOVE! i absolutely love co-ordinating pieces, but never quite got round to finding the perfect one and picking it up, but this is absolutely perfect for the spring, and you can get so many looks from just the two pieces. my personal favourite is tucking the top in to achieve a jumpsuit-esque look, but leaving the top untucked makes for a much more casual look, and there's endless combinations when it comes to mixing both pieces with other items already in my wardrobe, so it's safe to say that these two bits will probably become my spring wardrobe staples. i might even treat myself to the matching <a href="http://www.very.co.uk/love-label-daisy-printed-culotte-shorts/1339580677.prd?numProducts=87">shorts</a> to carry it through to summer!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i teamed it up with tan accessories here for the ultimate spring-time look, and i'll be wearing this to my best friends 21st which is coming up in the next couple of months, but it will definitely get plenty of outings before and after then! i also added a matching pop of colour to my lips to bring out the pink in the daisies and went for the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Shocking Coral.</span></i></b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i am honestly so chuffed with this duo, and can't wait to try it out with other pieces in my wardrobe, if anyone would like to see a lookbook on this, then let me know! it's just the perfect little combo to dress up or down, so thankyou Very!</div>

<br />
i've said it before, and i'll say it again - i am still on the hunt for the ultimate skin-clearer-upper and spot-preventer, so when i was given the chance to try out the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+(*)</span></i></b>, i jumped at the chance. i'd heard quite a lot of rave reviews about it helping to reduce the appearance of blemished and just generally improve the look of skin, so i was quite excited to give it a whirl.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">La Roche-Posay</span></i></b> are so confident in this product helping to clear up skin that they actually offer you your money back if you don't see effects in six weeks, so when i started trying this about three weeks ago, i had pretty high hopes. it's clinically proven to 'correct the appearance of blemishes, help pores look less clogged, make skin feel smoother and fight against marks' - all skin issues that i have, and issues i can safely say have been dramatically improved since i started using this. i apply this just before i go to bed, and occasionally in the morning, too, and as this is the only new introduction into my skincare routine, i know it's this which has helped my skin clear up. my spot breakouts are now few and far between (maybe one or two new ones a week?), and when blemishes do pop up, they are nowhere near as vicious and stubborn as they have been previously, and are much less noticeable on the skin and a hell of a lot easier to disguise with makeup during the day. any redness from blemishes clears up overnight and my skin just looks all round more even. it's also feeling a lot smoother and just feels in a much more better condition than before i started using this. just a pea-sized amount is enough to cover the whole face, and it sinks into the skin really nicely and doesn't leave it looking shiny or feeling greasy.<br />
<br />
it's safe to say that this is one of the very few skin products i've tried that has made a prolonged and noticable improvement to my skin, and one which i will definitely be repurchasing over and over, as i daren't think about what my skin would go back to without it! i'll also be on the lookout for more products to try from La Roche-Posay, so if you have any suggestions then do let me know!<br />
<br />
if you want to pick yourself up some of this, then it's currently got 1/3 off at <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.escentual.com/la-roche-posay/larocheposay066/">Escentual</a> </span></b></i>until the end of March, or you can pick it up in <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Effaclar-Duo--anti-blemish-cream_1440758/"><b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Boots</span></i></b></a> as part of their 3 for 2 offer!<br />

first of all, i'd like to apologise for the horrendous quality of todays pictures. i don't have a snazzy old camera, so when bad lighting and a grumpy camera team up, i don't have much choice but to make-do, and the little screen on my camera fooled me into thinking these were a decent enough quality. but alas, they were not, so sorry on that one - i'll try and be better for next week, i promise!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
today i just wanted to share this outfit with you that i wore last week to a job interview in London, and if you follow me on Twitter, you may know that I was offered the job then and there, which i was (and still am!) absolutely thrilled about and i can't wait to start once i graduate! i initially thought i was just interviewing for a three month internship, but it's now a three month probation period for a full-term job at the end of that. my start date is May 12th and i'm literally ticking off the days. the job is everything i could've dreamed of and a little bit more so i am going to grasp each and every opportunity i get from it with both hands because i am absolutely chuffed to pieces. because i was interviewing with a fashion company, i wanted to look formal but still fashionable with a slightly casual edge about it - basically comfortable, fashionable office wear - and i think this little ensemble worked pretty well! the blazer gives it that formal look, but the peach colour brings it right into season and is a fab contrast against the pleather trousers!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

any of you ladies got any office chic looks? i'd love to have a nosey!</div>

being the beauty and shopping obsessive that i am, i couldn't not make an order in the recent E.L.F 50% off sale, and today i'm sharing something from that somewhat mini haul. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
as much as i wish i could, i just can't bring myself to pay NARS prices, so i decided to pick up the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Contouring Blush and Bronzer in St Lucia</span></i></b> - a pretty well known dupe for the NARS Laguna Bronzer and Orgasm Blush duo. quality-wise, i obviously can't compare, but these seem pretty spot on for a colour match in my opinion. the blush is a gorgeous warm-toned, peachy pink with a slight shimmer (also a very good dupe for the Sleek Rose Gold blush, just not quite as pigmented and bright), and the bronzer is the perfect tan contouring shade. unfortunately the bronzer is far too dark to use on my pasty skin, but i've hauled the fake tan back out recently and this works fab with more tanned skin. for powder based products, they're not at all chalky and blend in really nicely, so you won't be left with harsh lines from contouring, and both products are really buildable for more colour so can work for a subtle everyday look, or be glammed up for the evening. this is also so handy for travelling as i don't need to cart around two seperate products, plus it has a huge mirror, too! for just £3.95 and a choice of three shades, popping this in my shopping basket whilst it had a further 50% off was a no-brainer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i'll be sharing a couple more bits from my E.L.F haul soon, but would love to know if you guys recommend anything in particlar from them that I can snap up when they next have a sale?</div>

since finally ordering myself some proper lipstick storage, lip products have seriously been on my radar in an attempt to fill it up with brighter colours for spring, and i've ended up with seven new additions in the last month. armed with a £20 Superdrug voucher, £10 L'Oreal voucher, endless offers and the temptation to treat myself for bagging a job for when i leave uni, i am well on the way to having some new favourites for spring.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
first up is actually a freebie with this months Glamour magazine - this gorgeous peachy <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Model Co Shine Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease</span></b></i>. this is great for just a slick of really pale colour on the lips for a no make-up look, and the tiny glitter and shimmer particles make it super shiny, whilst still being smooth and moisturising.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i finally caved and bought myself one of the (not so) new <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Revlon Matte Balms</span></b></i> and went for <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">240 Striking Spectaculaire</span></i></b>, my perfect 'safe shade'. a corally red with orange undertones that i know will suit me no matter what. these are fab if you don't want as much of a bold red lip and just a nice pop of colour. plus it smells super minty and is great for popping in your handbag for any top ups. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sticking to the safe colour theme, i also picked up the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in 035 Candy Apple</span></i></b> - a really glossy, warm red tone. again, this is fab for a more subtle red lip and great for everyday wear. i adore the formula of these lip butters as they just melt onto the lips, but still stay put on the lips. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
next up, i've ended up with three of the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Maybelline Color Sensational Lipsticks in Coral Tonic, Shocking Coral and Tantalizing Taupe. Coral Tonic</span></i></b> is a true orangey, coral shade with a slightly neon hint of colour to it, perfect for introducing more colour back into my makeup bag for the new season. <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Shocking Coral</span></i></b>, i would say, isn't actually a coral, but a real vibrant and almost hot pink shade. this isn't something i would usually go for, but i thought i'd give something a bit different a whirl and take advantage of the 3 for 2 offer! initially i thought <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Tantalizing Taupe</span></i></b> could potentially be a dupe for MAC's Peach Blossom, but it's actually much more coffee and nude based. this definitely has blue undertones to it, but is fab for pairing with a statement eye.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and last but not least, i have finally picked up <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;">Cheryl's Nude</span></b></i> from the<b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;"> L'Oreal Collection Privee</span></i></b> line after eyeing it up at least five times now. this is more a pink-toned nude, so it's much easier to pull off if you have pale skin than the Maybelline one. this is a classic 'your lips but better' shade, and i know i will get so much wear out of this while it quickly becomes my go-to lip colour!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
if you've picked up any new bits recently, then i'd love to have a nosey! or if you have any recommendations you think i'd like based on what i've already picked up, then let me know! </div>

i can't help it, i'm desperate for spring and the nice weather the last few days is just teasing me. in an attempt to feel a bit more Spring-ready, the floral prints (albeit still mainly monochrome) are coming back out, and the tan shoes are slowly replacing all the black i've worn over winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
this is such an easy outfit to throw on for the spring, and the knitted jumper adds just enough warmth for it to be acceptable to leave your coat at home (at last!). these gorgeous Forever 21 boots are my new favourite things and i can already guarantee that they probably won't leave my feet for the majority of SS14! i just need to find myself the perfect oversized tan handbag to match, which is the perfect excuse for just a little bit more shopping...</div>

as you will all know from my previous post on <a href="http://sophielouisew.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/top-three-thursdays-foundations-for.html">foundations for pale skin</a>, i really struggle to find foundations to match my skintone, so when i was given the chance to try out the <a href="http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/foundation/flawless-finish-foundation/invt/83110"><b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Flawless Finish Foundation</span></i></b></a>(*) and <b><i><u><span style="color: #a64d79;">HD </span></u></i></b><a href="http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/foundation/hd-mattifying-cream-foundation/invt/83160"><b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Mattifying Cream Foundation</span></i></b></a>(*) from e.l.f, i jumped at the chance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
on first impressions from having a nosy on the website, i had initial high hopes when it came to colour-matching and i think this had something to do with both products coming in the shade 'porcelain' which is usually a winner shade-wise when it comes to my pasty skin. unfortunately as you'll see from the swatches, both these products are far too dark and yellow-based for my skin, but alas, all is not lost. i've whipped the fake tan back out this month in anticipation of Spring, and now these products are perfect (please let's not dwell on the fact that i have to fake tan in order for even the palest foundation shades to match my skintone). i actually only had one foundation in my collection which was the right shade for my tanned self and it's super light coverage, so i'm happy to add two more products to the tanned skin stash.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i'll start off with the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Flawless Finish Foundation</span></i></b>, easily my favourite of the two. super creamy, blends like a dream and is easily buildable from medium to high coverage. this is one of the few foundations i've actually used where i haven't felt quite so much need for a concealer, too, and would happily wear just this on my skin when the warmer weather kicks in. it also lasts really well on the skin without going flaky and cakey, plus it doesn't cling onto those pesky dry patches, either. it just makes for an all round even base. i also think the packaging is super sleek, there's just something about the frosted glass and square bottle that really pleases me. this is definitely more of a yellow toned base than pink, so bare that in mind if you're to order for yourself. i couldn't fault this product and for just <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">£7.50</span></i></b> it's absolutely a contender in battling with the drugstore brands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
next is the <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">HD Mattifying Cream Foundation</span></i></b>, also in Porcelain, and i was a little dubious about this as i've never used a cream formula foundation in a pan before. i don't know why, but there's always just been something about swiping a sponge across the pan that doesn't sit well with me, i'm much happier with a brush and liquid foundation. that in mind, i did give this a whirl and was pleasantly surprised. this is definitely much more matter than the Flawless Finish Foundation, which you would expect given its name, and makes its counterpart look a lot more dewy and glowy. again, it's easily buildable from medium to high coverage and i was surprised at how blendable it was. it also didn't cling to dry patches and left an even base for the rest of my make-up and lasted just as long as the other foundation. unfortunately i'm just not a huge fan of more of a matte foundation look, but i will be keeping this as a reserve for days when i really need my makeup to stick around for a little longer than usual. this is a little pricier at <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">£7.95</span></i></b>, and i'll be honest in saying that i have no idea how this compares to drugstore alternatives, but if a cream foundation is something that's new to you aswell, i think this is a fab product to start with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
i think e.l.f gets overlooked as a makeup brand, but it's definitely up there in terms of quality and newness with the big drugstore brands. i'm forever finding bits on pinterest too that show e.l.f bits as dupes for some much higher end products and if any of you ladies haven't given it a go yet, i highly recommend it. i managed to pick a few bits up recently in their 50% off sale and will share them with you soon, but if you have an other product recommendations, i'd love to hear what your favourite e.l.f bits are!</div>

</tbody></table>
for some reason, my hair has started becoming oily pretty quickly lately and i was fed up of spending a fortune on dry shampoo to get me through second day hair. i trawled the aisles of Boots and Superdrug and just couldn't find anything affordable on the high street that actually worked for me - the only thing that made a slight difference was double shampooing, but i was obviously going through shampoo at twice the rate of conditioner which was costing a bomb aswell. so when i saw <b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Escentual</span></i></b> tweet that the were looking for people with oily hair to try out a product, i jumped at the chance and the <i><b><span style="color: #a64d79;"><a href="http://www.escentual.com/klorane/oily-hair/klorane50/">Klorane Oil Control Nettle Shampoo</a>(*)</span></b></i> soon landed on my doormat.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and this has already solved my oily hair issues. before, i was having to wash my hair every other day without a doubt, and i'd be lucky if i could go without dry shampoo on the inbetween days, but with this i can now make it to third day hair before needing to wash it again - it is honestly a life saver! as you can see on the back of the box, it includes extracts from the roots of a plant from the nettle family which helps attack whatever it is that makes our hair oily, meaning you can make it that extra day with still fresh looking hair. this doesn't eliminate oil, it just helps control the rate at which it develops in your hair so will have long-term effects aswell. the fact that the whole process of getting the nettles extracts is properly monitored and meets Klorane's set specifications just adds to this product, especially for the completely affordable price. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
surprisingly for a nettle-based product, the scent of this isn't overpowering as i expected it would be and if anything i think it smells more of really fresh, crisp apples so it leaves your hair smelling super fresh, and the smell lingers until your next wash. the formula isn't quite as 'gel-like' as i'm used to with a shampoo, it's much more runny and liquidy. i do still use my regular shampoo after this to maintain shine and a little bit of volume, and i've found that this has really improved my haircare routine. throw in that Escentual currently have Klorane products on offer with 1/3 off throughout March makes it even more tempting to stock up, and they also do a <a href="http://www.escentual.com/klorane/oily-hair/klorane44/"><b><i><span style="color: #a64d79;">Oil Regulating Dry Shampoo</span></i></b></a>, too, so it wouldn't surprise me if this could even make my hair stretch that fourth day without a wash.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i'm really impressed with how quickly this had an effect on my hair, and highly recommend it if you also suffer from oily hair!</div>

life becomes a better place when you own a pair of pleather trousers - fact. they're such a wardrobe staple for me now, and i would've owned some a lot sooner than this if it hadn't been such a pain to find a pair that fit. granted, these are still a bit baggy from the knees down, but i was fighting a losing battle in the pleather trouser hunt and when i find something that actually fits me round the waist, i will compromise elsewhere. </div>

i know this is a little dull for a Spring outfit, but it's the perfect transitional look if you're ready to ditch the coat and leave it at home. i picked this chunky cardi up in the primark sale, so even if it only lasts me this year, i'll definitely get my wear out of it for just £5.</div>

if you've styled any 'waiting for spring' looks, then i'd love to see!</div>
