I wanted to share the love, and today I'm bringing you my Top 5 people to follow on Instagram this month!

A Mini Sleek Palette Haul.

It feels like it's been a lifetime since I last bought anything from Sleek. It's not because I don't like the brand or the products, it's just, well I guess I often forget all about their products to be honest. After finding my rose gold blush buried deep in my blusher drawer, I decided to have a look  in the drugstore at what else they had to offer.

I love shimmer eyeshadows, and having  heard a lot about sleek palettes, I thought i'd start at the beginning and pick up the Sleek i-Divine Original Palette. It has such a wide range of gorgeous shades that are perfect for day to  night and even when you're feeling a little bit edgy! At �7.99 it's a bargain for 12 shades!

The Sleek Precious Metals Highlighting palette also made it's way into my basket as I'm really into that glowy highlighted skin  at the moment, which means that i'm buying almost every highlighter I find. I'm not 100% sure if i'll get on with these and the bronzing powder in the bottom right of the palette looks suspiciously gold and warm for my  liking.

So those are my picks from the sleek range! I'd love to hear your thoughts on what I grabbed,let me know in the comments! And if there's anything I should be trying from the range, do let me know!

Margot Robbie Oscars 2015 Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I fell in love with Margot Robbie just that little bit more when I saw her make up at The Oscars this year. I knew that if there was one 2015 Oscars makeup look i'd be recreating it was hers. I'd read online somewhere that apparently Margot wore the Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Raven to the ceremony and although I'd tried 4 different Space NK stores, I couldn't get my hands on that gorgeous orangey red shade. Instead I opted for a drugstore alternative with the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet- Hot Pepper Lipstick. I never usually wear orange toned lipsticks, or red lipsticks at all really, which usually tends to make me feel that little bit more glam when I'm go for it.

The other challenge I faced with this makeup look, was covering my acne in a way which not only feels light, but offers good coverage too.  I hope you enjoy the tutorial!

Product Wise, here's what I used:

Foundation: NYX HD Studio Photographic Foundation & Nars Sheer Glow

Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - Fair / Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer- Chantilly

Bronzer: Bourjois Delice de Poudre #52

Highlight: The Balm, Mary Lou-manizer

Blusher: MUA Make Up Academy - Cream Blusher, Dolly.

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade - Taupe

Eyeshadow: The Balm, Mary Lou Manizer, Bourjois Colour Band Eyeshadows Beige Minimalist and Brun Dadaste,

Eyeliner: Bourjois Volume clubbing eyeliner #72

Eyelashes: Ardel Demi Wispies

Mascara: Benefit -Roller Lash Mascara

Lipstick: Bourjois - Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick - Hot Pepper

As always, i'd love to hear your thoughts on this make up look! Also if you have any ideas for who you'd like to see me recreate next, let me know in the comments!

Last Minute Mothers Day Inspiration!

So there's 48hrs to go until Mothering Sunday (or Mothers Day) here in the UK and if you haven't picked a gift out just yet, there's no need to panic. I wanted to share a quick gift idea with you that I know my mum would love and maybe yours will too.

I remember when the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfumes first were released, I was obsessed, and I did my best to convert everyone into loving it too. There have been numerous versions since, and with every release the scents are both classy and sophisticated whilst being suitable for women of all ages, which is no easy task.

The Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Set from House of Fraser* is just pure perfection from the moment you open the box. The cool powder blue tones of the bottle really did make me squeal the moment I saw it the first time! I'm so obsessed with this gorgeous shade of blue, and with the daisy embellishment, it just makes the bottle to die for. 

I'm absolutely shocking at describing scents, but I'd say it had a fruity sweet smell that isn't overpowering and it reminds me of smelling fresh flowers at a florists. 

At �54.00 it's a respectable amount for a 50ml bottle of perfume, shower gel and body lotion. Or �39.00 gets you the perfume alone leaving enough cash left over for a bunch of flowers to go with it!

I'd love to hear what your favourite perfume is! Let me know in the comments!
