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,

Since I'm trying to get back into the swing of things, I have decided to set up a new Instagram page, purely based on makeup and fashion. My thought process behind this was if I'm having a rushed week and am not able to post on here, I will have something over on my Instagram page where I will always have something!

I've already started adding some of my makeup looks on to Instagram, so if you are interested in that head on over and follow!! My username is : bleachedbeautyy

I feel like I owe you all an explanation to where I have been because soooo much has happened since my last post. Its been nearly a year since my last post but I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things since my life has kind of settled down. I think you deserve a quick update of what has been happening in my life since my last update, which was May LAST YEAR!

  So let's just keep this short and sweet...

1. Since I have last posted I have studied for and completed my A-Levels.

2. Got accepted into my first university choice and am now studying criminology.

3. Moved away from home which includes moving to a completely different country.

4. Grew another year older...

5. Realised how difficult it is to juggle a hobbies (such as blogging) and school/uni life together.

And breathe....

All-in-all its been a very stressful few months, but I feel like now I have settled into uni and can start doing the things I love doing again.

My goals are to keep on top of my blog and keep you updated on my life, beauty and fashion like what I intended this blog to be about.

Better late than never, aye...

                                               Hope you're all well, Sophie xxx

Hi girlies!

I have been asked to do this tutorial! Sorry it's taken me so long to upload, but  I've had a lot of personal hiccups this week and haven't really been anywhere to actually put makeup on.

However, I did go out and decided to get this up for you! 

Let's jump into it.

Start off by applying your normal foundation and eyebrow routine. The foundation I use is from Amorio cosmetics in the colour 'neutral glow'.

With my eyebrows I used an angled brush and Mac's eyeshadow in the colour 'omega'. (If you would like a more in depth tutorial on my brow/foundation routine, please comment).

I then went on to apply Mac's pigment in 'vanilla' all over my eyelid. With this product I find that it works best when dipping it into Mac's fix+ or for a cheaper alternative eye drops. I applied this with an ELF eyeshadow brush.

I have recently invested in an Urban Decay Naked pallette and I opted for the Naked 2 and I love the gold-tone colours in this pallette.

From this pallette I grabbed 'half-baked' and applied this to the outer half of my eyelid.

I then grabbed 'snakebite' from this pallette and blended this into the outer corner/crease of my eye. Then blend it all out with a fluffy brush!!

I've just bought this L'oreal superliner in brown, as I loved the black one so much. I decided on brown so that it blended a bit better with the gold-tone eyeshadow.

Then apply loads of mascara!!! Wear falsies if you prefer!

Now for my favourite part! Contour and highlighting!! I use Mac's prep and prime in the colour 'light boost' and applied this under my eyes/cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, on my chin and on my forehead. I then went onto use a Bobbi Brown foundation stick in the colour 'honey', in the hollows of my cheeks, on my temples and the sides of my chin. 

AND BLEND!!

Then powder! I use (a very tatty) stay matte powder by Revlon in 'translucent'.

To deepen my contour I used this Clarins bronzer. All the writing has come off so I don't know the colour or actual name :( 

For blush I used this Revlon blush in 'blushing berry'.

Now for the lips. I wanted to go for a vampy red lip. So I started off by applying Mac's lipliner in 'vino'.

I went over the top of this with Mac's matte lipstick in 'viva glam 1'. I think this was a Nicki Minaj's collection which I also think was limited addition:( sorry guys! But I know Rimmel's Kate Moss collection has a similar colour.

ET VOLIA! The finished result!! (I did apply a brown eyeliner in my waterline, which I forgot to add in pictures).

Hope you all enjoy and I will hopefully get the Kylie Jenner inspired makeup up for you ASAP! 

Lots of love,

Soph xxx

Hola girlies,

Just thought id write this post because I am LOVING pastel nails at the moment!

This is such a pretty pastel blue colour from the L'oreal pastel nail colour collection (don't know the real name of the collection) but I am obsessed with all of them!! 

The name of this one is 'nouvelle vague', topped with Seche Vite topcoat, it lasts ages.

This colour looks so amazing with a tan, so I am so excited to wear them over summer and know they will be a staple in my nail polish collection.

I am also loving, as per usual, Essie's Fiji. I JUST LOVE PASTELS.

(I will be getting my Kylie Jenner inspired makup look up soon, because of exam season I've had a million and one things I've been doing, sorry guys).

Love, 

Sophie xxx

As I'm already putting up a tutorial this week (hopefully) of my last post, I was going to kill two birds with one stone. However, I don't know what second tutorial to do! I was feeling this Kylie Jenner inspired tutorial, what do you guys think?

I was also wondering if I should do one of them in a video, again what do you guys think about that?

Regardless, this week, there will be a makeup tutorial on this blog, and it will probably be my previous post of smokey eyes and red lips.

Let me know what you think about the Kylie Jenner inspired makeup, and I can get it up for you! 

Love,

Soph *kissy face emoji* xxx

Hey girlies!

Just a quick post, and your probably wondering why I'm doing a post which isn't really important, but...

I'm off to a wedding party tonight and did this makeup look on myself. I've had a lot of people complimenting me on it, so I thought I would ask you guys if you wanted to see a tutorial on how to do it.

It's quite easy, so you might want to see a tutorial but I think it's a classic look, especially the red lip!

Let me know girls,

Sophie xxx
