Soap & Glory Solar Powder review

Can we firstly just admire how beautiful this bronzer is? It is perfect. 

It hadn't really occurred to me before to delve into Soap & Glorys' make-up collection, as all I had really tried (and loved) were their bath and body products. But as I was wondering back and forth through the isles of Boots in search for a new bronzer, I spotted the S&G body care and had a light bulb moment. After hunting further to find their make-up section I came across this bronzer which just looked too amazing to leave behind.  

I personally think this bronzer is for all skin tones as it is not to heavy at all, but could be darkened with a few layers. The highlighter S&G in the middle adds extra luminosity and just gives the perfect sun-kissed glow.

However slightly pricey at £11, it really is a gorgeous bronzer in my opinion and can work for everyone! The packaging is nothing too fancy as it has a paper/cardboard feel (if that makes any sense) so that aspect doesn't really wow, but does have a mirror in the top of the compact which really comes in handy for on the go. All in all though, love it.

Look who's finally back

So, I haven't been on my blog in what feels like forever and it really has been ages! When I stopped writing my blog its because I wasn't sure I was happy with how it looked and what I was writing was enjoyable enough. But after a bit of thinking I've decided to come back to my blog (took me long enough to get to that conclusion) and continue in the way I was before, whilst also adding my own photography projects to make this blog even more personal. I am currently in the final stages of an art foundation so things are a bit hectic but I think this blog will be a good platform to share things I enjoy and my passions. I am off to university this September (pat on the back if I may say so) and so I hope to carry this blog on into that new chapter! Hope you enjoy!

Venice

I have been awful with uploading to my blog recently and I have to say I am considering whether or not to stop my blog all together or to carry it on and just upload when and if I feel like it. But anyway, last month about 70 of us (comprising of my art and design foundation group and our tutors) woke up at the crack of dawn to head of to the beautiful city of Venice for an art based trip, but mostly to go and experience the world famous Biennale. The trip only lasted 4 days but I can honestly say I have never seen so much art in under a week but I absolutely loved every minute of it! I came home with a camera full of photos and a stomach FULL of Italian food (I have avoided pizza for a while since I've gotten back)

I have such a love for photography and the Biennale provided loads, I was in awe...

The Asian Pavillion was great, it was full of colour and shapes.

The hot chocolate was AMAZING.
