Sugar and Spice

Instagram is one of the few forms of social media I actually pay any attention to and so I thought it might be nice to share with you some of my favourite instagrammers of the recent few months.

Jerianie

She is a visual designer and illustrator with a delightful dress sense and shows to be a lover of the floral print. Her digital art is also rather wonderful <3

Vanessa Frankenstein

Model and make up artist Vanessa is one always shown to look immaculate. A must follow instagrammer for beautiful vintage inspired style. I don't think I've ever seen her not looking flawless.

Sophia Rosemary

Fashion blogger Sophia has a wardrobe I envy. Through al her outfits she incorporates some lovely vintage/retro inspired pieces and makes everything look so effortlessly styled.

Rhiannon Ashlee

This past month her vlogs are practically all that I've watched on Youtube and she just makes me feel very happy. I am so pleased to hear all the updates about the baby and it's nice to see ordinary posts from her day.

I discovered Love Me Beauty through Elle magazine as there was a discount on offer for the first month. How it works is they offer a variety of monthly membership packages and you are given credits when you sign up with a varying value depending on which package you are subscribed to and every month another 60 credits are added. There is also the option to add on more credits if you so wish. These credits can then be used to buy products in the Boutique section of the site. Great products are on offer and at a discount in comparison to what would be found on the high street.

I am pleasantly surprised at the size of the samples and I am particularly excited to try out the Percy & Reed Foaming Treatment Mask. The jewellery I received is not of the greatest quality (think Primark) but is pretty enough.

These are the products that I purchased this month. Above from left to right: Melvita Argon Oil, Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water, Renu Flash Relax Mask and Percy & Reed Lovingly Light Foaming Treatment Mask. 

I also received a gold quartz ear cuff, gold necklace with raw cut aquamarine stone and hammered gold bar necklace. 

My order came in these black canvas bags which are great to use as makeup bags.

Here I am sharing with you photos from my first attempt at portrait photography. I took these as part of a superhero inspired project, my inspiration in this case being Rogue from the X-men series.

The model is a friend of mine - Kerri Thomson
