Shop my stash

This quick post is a couple of days late, but I thought I'd share this weeks makeup. I've decided to come home for the week so this is all the makeup I've taken home with me.




Face:
- Bobbi Brown SPF 15 tinted moisturiser in medium tint.
- Bobbi Brown foundation stick in natural tan. I love both of the Bobbi Brown products, they are quite expensive but so worth the price to me.
- Sleek luminous pressed powder. I've not really made up my mind on whether I like this or not, it seems a bit too shimmery sometimes.
- I would normally use my Collection concealer but I've left it at uni :( so I'll have to look like a bit of a zombie this week.

Cheeks:
- Sleek contour kit in medium.
- Sleek blush in Lace. As you can see I am a big fan of Sleek makeup! I love this blush trio, particularly the colours crochet and chantilly.

Eyes:
- Nars eyeshadow palette in ride up to the moon. I loveeee this palette, the colours are just so beautiful.
- Loréal super liner perfect slim. This is my go to eyeliner.
- Mua black eyeliner which stays put and is only £1.
- Avon soft black brow definer. Why are there not many black eyebrow products? :(

Lips:
- YSL rouge volupté shine in corail incandescent. Oh my goodness I have wanted one of these lipsticks for a few years now and I got this lovely bright coral colour last summer.

Harry Potter Studios


I went to the Harry Potter Studios (for the second time) at the beginning of the year! As you can tell I am a very big fan of generally the whole franchise. It's so amazing seeing the sets/costumes/props... everything! There was so much work put into all of the little details for the films. So I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took this time round. Enjoy!

Little update

I apologise for this blog post being a bit late but over the Christmas period I took my EAP bucket home to put next to the till at my mums shop on our local high street. 

In around two and a half weeks I managed to collect £40, which I am very pleased about!

I'd just like to thank all of the customers who donated, every little penny is appreciated :)

festive bucket!

Hello 2014

I know this blog post is a few days too late but happy new year!
With the Christmas festivities over, it is the time of the year where we all want to improve our lives for the better. So without further ado I'd like to share my New Years resolutions. (But to be quite honest they are mostly the bog standard ones I set every year and fail to carry out.)

1. After consuming an unhealthily amount of chocolate, it's time to cut down on the bad food and get into shape. Back to the gym I go :(

2. One word, procrastination. Why is everything else so interesting in the world, except what I'm actually meant to be studying? Must minimise the amount of time I waste.

3. Think of brilliant ways of fundraising for EAP (if anyone has any bright ideas then feel free to get in touch.)

4. Save money for travelling. I need to stop spending my student loan on unnecessary things and start saving for the future.

5. Attempt to figure out what I want to do after university. Let's face it, I'm not getting any younger and the next year and a half will zoom by.


Sooo... These are my top five resolutions and hopefully this will be the year that I can at least fulfil one of them.

This will be an exciting year for me as I will be going to Uganda this summer and I can't wait! If anyone wants to help me fundraise for EAP then please let me know. I literally need all the help I can get.

Happy new year again!
