No Competition

It's getting really really close now! Tomorrow I'm going Christmas shopping with my dad to get last minute pressies for the family, and then in the afternoon we're going to go and see The Hobbit! My dad's not really a Tolkien fan at all, but I am > . < And I can't wait to see the film :D

On Sunday I'm going to go to Canterbury to see my boyfriend and catch up with friends before going to my cousins house for Christmas :D I can't wait (partially because it'll be a break from revision :P).

I love my Benefit lipstick No Competition, recently I've been into bolder lip colours, especially now that it's winter. I decided to team it with liquid eyeliner because I'd realised I hadn't used mine in ages and ages. My skin's not in great condition at the moment because I insist on feeding myself delicious sugary foods (maybe a good new years resolution would be to eat well for my skin?).

 

I used - Chanel Perfection Lumiere
             Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
             Nars Orgasm Multiple
             Party Lover Cake Eyebrow
             Benefit They're Real Mascara
             L'oreal Super Liner
             Benefit No Competition lipstick

Back to revision, I'm onto coral reefs now, farrrrrr more interesting than sand and mud :P

Birthday Pressies!

I'm home! It feels like it's been ages even though it was only a week and a half > . < In another week and a bit I'm back to uni, SO EXCITED ^ - ^ Anyway, yesterday I got the last of my birthday pressies (from my dad) and I thought I'd show you everything I got :)

My boyfriend gave me a Totoro hat ^ - ^ and a 'Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes' mug :D He also bought me some gluten free flour (I can't eat gluten *cries* so normally I can't have cake), and we baked a chocolate cake. I ate most of it :P He also took me to the cinema to watch Brave and then out to dinner at a Mexican restaurant I'd been eyeing up for months :P (Just thinking about the food there is making me hungry...)

My boyfriends parents gave me a pretty necklace and bracelet set and a mini bottle of Cacherel's Anais Anais perfume, it smells soooo good :)

My friend Las got me my ultimate guilty pleasure (and hers too actually :P). The film Crossroads, not the good one :P The other one...the one with Britney Spears :PI haven't seen it since I was about 10 :P

My lovely lovely friend Daydreamer  gave me the Nars Pleasures Of Paris Palette, I can't wait to try it out :)

 My Grandma, Aunt and Uncle all gave me birthday money, so when I went to London I shopped :P First is this faux leather jacket from Zara. I've been wanting a leather jacket since last year, so I'm so glad I finally got one.

Next I popped into Abercrombie and Fitch and picked up a few lovely things, the super skinny dark wash jeans (such a gorgeous fit), the hoodie (sooo soft, I want more of these), and a gorgeous white lace skirt which I can't wait to wear!

From my mum I got Chanel Chance perfume, I love love love this and have been pining over it for a few months. I haven't taken it out of its gorgeous box yet because I'm back off to uni soon and don't want it to get hurt in transit!

Finally the present I'm most excited about (and the present which is still charging!) the Clarisonic mia from my dad, although he seemed very confused as to why I was so excited about a 'big electric toothbrush' :P He got me the hot pink one (yay for pink :P). I'm really excited to see how this will work and will keep you updated :) I've read so many reviews I hope it works for me.

I had such a great birthday :D And got some fantastic presents ^ - ^ Now that it's over don't expect any more hauls from me until I've managed to get myself a job! :P (Fingers crossed!)

End Of Exams, Lipgloss and Blush

Exams are over!! It feels very strange to not feel guilty about lazing around and not revising, strange, but very good :P To celebrate the end of exams I bought myself a couple of presents from buyapower.com. I've never used this website before and I have to say I'm quite impressed. The basic concept is that the website buys products in bulk and can sell them for cheaper, but only if enough people buy it, the more people buy it the lower the price becomes. I got a Mac Lipglass and a Nars blush. I wore both products last night, so I'll review them here as well.

Firstly the Lipglass, I got this for £8.50 (including P&P) which I think is a great saving. I got it in the colour Pink Clash, which is a glittery pinky brown colour. I really loved wearing it last night, but because it's still a gloss I had to reapply whenever I had a drink, but that's why they put so many mirrors in the girls bathrooms :P Also I adore the smell, it's not too strong, but it is delicious, I definently want to buy more colours.

I got the Nars The Multiple Orgasm Cream blush (which is mean to be multipurpose for lips and cheeks, but I wore it as a blush last night), this was more expensive at £22, but still a great saving and this has been on my wishlist for quite a while. I'm really happy with this product, I can see why it's raved about so much. The colour is a really gorgeous slightly corally pink with a lot of shimmer in it. It's really not for casual occasions in my opinion, or for people who dislike shimmer. The colour is really buildable though, so it can work with a more toned down look, last night I wore it a bit more obviously, and I loved it, it's just so so so so pretty ^ - ^ Another recommendation :)

Now that exams are over I'm going to be going out to celebrate a lot more so I can review all my christmas present beauty buys properly :P Especially seeing as I'm on a self imposed budget from now on :P (excluding the lightsabre chopsticks I bought my boyfriend for his birthday :P)
