Spring is well and truly here, friends! I was walking around campus earlier in the week & it's so nice to see all the flowers blooming finally; my groups of friends and I got to have lunch in the sun before class & it was so great to not be cold.
In light of the new season, I stopped by at the shops to grab a few bits & pieces:

My haul!
Okay so this one isn't strictly beauty related, but I've been wanting a pair of earrings I can just wear every day & not have to worry about changing & that go with my other jewellery. These are Silver Beaten studs from Witchery & this is my first purchase from Witchery, which I feel a little bit excited about. Their accessories & handbags are amazing.
Funny story about this- a few weeks ago when Emily-May and I were doing a photoshoot in Richmond, we were waiting in line to get lunch, & we saw a girl with this water bottle which looks like a mason jar, & we both kinda looked at each other in awe of it. So after some searching I managed to find it at Target & they are the cutest things. This is Emily-May's one, & I got the same one but in purple.
Okay confession time: I am useless when it comes to taking care of skin that is not on my face. Of course I bathe regularly like a decent human being, but I always tend to neglect some part of my body that needs attention, example, my legs. Because I usually wear long jeans or pants, my legs don't ever see the light of day, which in turn makes them ghostly white & scarily dry. Literally, I put some workout pants on before leaving my house for uni the other day, and these are the basic 3/4 pants, so there was some skin showing from the end of the pants to my socks, & my god I was shocked at how white & dry my skin was.
So I high tailed it to Priceline & got this cream (Rosken Skin Repair Dry Skin Cream) before high tailing it to my train, & managed to put some of this stuff on the small patch of skin blinding the world. Seriously, this stuff is amazing. It is so moisturising, my skin drank it in like it was dying (which might be true considering how scary dry it was!) I would highly recommend this for those of you who have very dry skin. It's great for the face, arms, legs, everywhere.
Words cannot express how glad I am to have acquired some more of this miracle.
For those of you who don't know, I have a significant amount of acne scarring & pigmentation on my skin from years of mistreatment, & because of this I have a lot of dark spots on my face. Take into account the fact that I have very sensitive and combination skin, finding a dark spot corrector that didn't cause break outs & actually did what it promised was hard. I've been using Clinique for about a year now & even though my skin isn't perfect, it's far more manageable. Clinique's 'Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector' is amazing for lightening my pigmentation and scars, & takes about a month to see results. I use this every day as part of my skin care routine, & even though it is expensive, to me it's definitely worth the money.
On my way out of Priceline I spotted a whole bunch of make up cases & bags on special, & this one struck me first because it is the perfect size for me for my every day make up. As posted in previous blogs, I got a make up case which was much larger, & better suited to travelling, whereas this one forces me to pick only the essentials so my bag isn't weighed down any more than it has to be. I love the simplicity, & the colour.
I love shopping so much- as I'm sure you all can tell.
Stay tuned! x
