Long time no post? I intend on writing an entire post dedicated to where I have been during the past few months but as for now enjoy a few photos from my birthday last week. As some of you may know I turned 21 and I have to say it was very strange but at the same time it felt the same as any other year. I was incredibly spoiled and I am extremely grateful for all my family and friends for everything and cannot thank them enough. This time last year I spent my birthday in Barcelona, a birthday I will never forget, exploring Montjuic Castle and eating croissants for the entirety of our trip. I spent the week eating my body weight in food and cake with no regrets.

Celebrating my birthday abroad this year was a little weird, not waking up to your family wishing you, no special birthday breakfast but despite that I was in Barcelona exploring a city I had never visited before, so that was a first. Nevertheless, I was spoilt just like any other year, here's a few bits I got during my birthday and a little after.


| Benefit 'Complexionista' 
This is the cutest face palette, I have wanted to try the 'hoola' powder bronzer for the longest time since trying the 'hoola' bronzing stick. There's two concealer shades and highlight shades too.


| ABH 'Soft glam' palette
I adore ABH and their palettes, ever since I was gifted the 'modern renaissance' palette for my 18th. Their shades are so pigmented, unbelievably pigmented, and quite frankly I cannot wait to start using this one.

| Huda Beauty lipstick 'El cinco de Mayo' 
Now I love a classic red lip every now and then and this is the epitome of a bold 'red' lip. I like that it is matte so it will not budge.


| Missguided faux croc mini bag
Honest to god, I have not stopped wearing this bag ever since I got it, it's the ideal size and it has gold hardware. It actually fits in more than you can imagine.


| Black leather bag & Woven hoops
I can't wait to wear these more and more in the summer time and as for the black bag, well black goes with practically anything and everything.


| MAC 'Taupe'
This is my go-to lipstick and I am so glad I have a new one. It's the perfect your lips-but-better' shade and pairs well with every look.

4 years into the blogging game and I'm still here ... [insert Sia's song lyrics]. This year was the year I really learnt how to take photos that reflect and accomodate my perspective when it comes to fashion, beauty and lifestyle. It has also been the year of solo travelling whether it be a city or a country. 2nd year of University started and is now almost over which is a little unsettling.
