I have fallen in love with this Illamasqua blusher in 'Sophie' ; The other night I was in the Bullring waiting for my lovely friend to go and have dinner and I found myself drawn to the Illamasqua concession stand. I've wanted to try something from this particular makeup brand for a L O N G time, the colours are awesome and appeal to my inner colour kid ^.^ I went for this particular shade as I really want a warm coral/pink with flecks of gold to double up as an eye shadow over summer and this blusher looks awesome both with and without foundation, which will be perfect for those summer days when I love having my freckles out underneath the sunshine!
Also in London this weekend I got the chance to go to Kiko, a makeup store me and my sister discovered on our travels to Barcelona last year. I was so excited to look at all their eye makeup as last summer I constantly wore a peachy orange shadow I purchased from there (which I have since unfortunately dropped on numerous occasions and shattered...I'm so clumsy). With not too much money and the Illamasqua purchase already ruining my saving plans I settled on this eyeshadow stick. I've been after an eyeshadow similar to Sonic which was in the Urban Decay Vice Palette since Christmas; however since this has sold out and they don't sell it by itself I have been searching everywhere for something similar. Although this quite a bit darker I love the red undertones and think they make my eyes look super blue! If anyone knows where I can find Sonic/Sonic dupe please let me know ^.^
I go home for my tiny easter holidays on Friday morning and I'm so excited to have a few days back home and relax and eat chocolate and hopefully enjoy some springtime sun before the last bit of uni ! ^.^

 Over the past few days its been nice to escape back home and take some time to see familiar faces and feel that kind of simple happiness I find easiest to find when here.
Me and my sister Gemma went up to Rutland Water today and took some photos, it was nice to be able to experiment more with my camera as since getting it for Christmas I've felt limited in taking a variety of photos and playing around with all the settings. Although I didn't really do much else with it today it was still nice to walk around with it and pretend I was some kind of awesome photographer..
I'm going back to Coventry tomorrow for a week full of exhibitions/sketchbooks and portfolios and after coming home I feel happy to go back; its always nice to escape for a little bit but I think I'll forever be someone who likes to keep moving forward and I'm excited for London on Tuesday with Angie ^.^
