#83. FOTD

This week is the first week of my nice long summer holidays. However, it will probably also be my most busiest as at work it is coming up for our famous sale! For those of you who don't know, I work at NEXT. I absolutely love working there, I have so much fun and it's something I want to do when I leave college. Most people will know that NEXT sales are pretty huge, especially end of season as everything goes in the sale at 50% or 75% off. There isn't any in between discounts or anything less than 50% which is why when the doors open at 5am people come running through the store trying to snap up all the bargains. People also begin to cue out the front of the store from about 3am, and the cue is just horrendous! We even have security on the doors, which we never normally do. So in order for this big sale to happen it takes a lot of time and preparation on behalf of the staff. I've been working really late nights staying to about 10/11 in order to get everything ready and Friday night I will be at work from 2pm till about midnight, and back to work on Saturday for my 6am shift. So if you happen to be at NEXT over the weekend and you can brave the sale then do because there are some real bargains to be had. I should know, because I get first pick and have already been stashing stuff away! All their large perfumes are going down to £5!!

So my make up has been kept nice and simple for work today and I'm wearing:

- Elizabeth Arden Plum Perfect Foundation in Beige

- Rimmel Glam'Eyes Liquid Liner

- Bourjois Volumizer Mascara

- Barbara Daly Cheek-To-Cheek Powder Bronzer

- Gosh Shimmer Powder in Pink

#80 This Week On Instagram.

/busy week/ skin care shopping/ burn from sitting on my straighteners/ recent fotd/ making magic star cupcakes/ joey/ new issue of cosmo/

1. This week I have been taking part in Instagram's a photo a day challenge which has been such good fun and making me lots more creative! However, I've stayed at my boyfriends this weekend and have had no internet connection to post photos. But this photo comes from the second day with the theme of busy.

2. As you may have read in this weeks post, I have been skin care shopping again. I am absolutely loving the products and can't wait to start writing up reviews this week.

3. OUCH! Yes, this is the burn from where I sat on my very hot straighteners a week ago before going on a night out. The burn has healed very nicely. However, it is still a little sore, even a week on. I strongly advise people not to sit on the hot straighteners bare bottomed!

4. I've been messing about with Instagram this week and have been being vain, which has resulted in a fotd post on Beautiful Nellies this week. I thought it was about time you started to see a little more of me!

5 + 6. This weekend Tyler and I have been making cupcakes, Magicstar cupcakes to be precis whilst it has been pouring with rain all weekend and we have been stuck inside, but it resulted in lots of fun and mess, especially with the icing! Would you like the recipe on these?

7. Meet Joey!! This is my boyfriends, sisters new kitten! Tyler's Mum finally gave in when it came to getting a pet and went and brought Joey as a surprise for his sister. He is 9 weeks old, super cute and has far too much energy. He is the cutest kitten I have seen in a long time and I have taken so many photos of him this weekend!

8. This months new copy of Cosmopolitan, I can't wait to have a nice relaxing bubble bath with candles and read this. It also came with a free bottle of Missguided's Nail Splash which I love as I've collected others in the past.

What have you all been getting up to this week?

#79 FOTD.

I cannot believe that it is Thursday already which means come tomorrow evening after finishing work it is finally the weekend and the start of my 10 week summer, I just need to get 2 assignments done in one day and I'm loosing all motivation! Today was the last day of college until September, I can't believe that all my friends will be going off to uni in September and I'm still carrying on my college course. However, I wouldn't change it for the world as A-levels were just not for me and I'm absolutely loving my college course as it's allowed me to gain qualifications in things such as sailing and kayaking and next year I will be going climbing! So I wouldn't say that going back a year has disadvantaged me. If you're currently going through your AS exams and are finding that it's not for you then look at the other choices which are available. I did and it's made me so happy, I'm really not a text book and revision girl!

I don't do many posts with pictures of myself in, so today I thought I'd show you my fotd for my last day at college.

Today really has been a get out the shower and scrape your hair back day today along with keeping my make up ever so simple. So the products I wore today are:

- MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW15

- MUA Perfect Powder in Shade 2

- MUA EXtreme Curl Mascara

- Bourjois Delice de Poudre in Shade 52

- MUA Lipstick in Shade 2

I'm finally getting used to wearing bright lipsticks!

If you have any questions, queries or suggestions then don't hesitate to leave a comment or drop me an email!

Enjoy the rest of your week!!



#48 Hey There Stranger.

HEY THERE BLOGGERS!


Long time no see! I haven't been able to blog as much recently as for some reason I've had restrictions put on my internet meaning I can't go onto social networking sites till after 6pm, which is really, really, REALLY rubbish! However, it has given me time to get some bits together ready for new posts! So today is just a catch up because recently I've felt really out of touch with the blogging world and want to reconnect with my readers as I was so close to packing it in. I feel that nowadays there is such pressure to be the perfect and the best blogger. I don't proclaim to be a beauty and fashion expert because I'm not I'm just an ordinary student living at home spending my weekends partying hard and hanging out my bottom! I just like to blog when I have free time, especially when it's something I have an interest it and likewise for talking to people who share the same interests. But people like me are criticised so much for our 'unprofessional' blogs and writting style. People even rant about other blogs at the quality of the photos taken. I don't know why the blogging world has become so bitchy because it wasn't when I started back in last summer but I'm not a person who can be dealing with all the aggro. So no it isn't a priority of mine as to how many followers I have, I'm just amazed and so thankful for the followers I do have, and no I do not loose sleep over not having anything to post the next day and quite frankly I don't care about the grammar police! Nobody's perfect, everyone makes mistakes so if I don't quite spell a word right occasionally or forget to put a comma where it should be then sue me! That's my little rant over! Sorry for the negativity!
Other than my rant I hope all my lovely followers are doing well! Do tell me what you have all been up to! Also, I'd like to improve my blog so please leave comments on how you think I could improve and what would you like to see? I'm open to all views, opinions and suggestions! :-)
Finally, I just thought I'd show my face with a nice big cheesy grin as at the moment I'm feeling very happy and content with life, all will be revealed soon ;-)

Would you look at that, mascara on my eyes, how very unprofessional of me;-) what am I thinking for posting this picture?!
