Party Eyes

Instead of doing my report like a good girl, I've been procrastinating all day. On the plus side, I have bought my mum her Christmas pressies, done a load of laundry, done the dishes, cleaned the bathroom, and now I'm writing a blog post. For an unproductive day I've done a surprising amount...(even if I feel guilty every time I look at my report on the desk, blank except for the title).

So this is me daydreaming about going to Christmas parties. Yesterday on the way back from the library I dragged my boyfriend into New Look and I fell in love with every single sparkly, glittery thing there. Oh I wish I had money > . < At this time of year all I want to do is cover myself in glitter and sequins. Apparently most people seem to think it's too early for Christmas (*sadness*), so I thought I'd make a toned down Christmas look, a gold twist to my usual going out eye make up.

Ignore the messy brows :P

I used my Naked palette: Virgin, Naked, Creep, Gunmetal and Half Baked.

Now I suppose I better get a wiggle on with this whole report thing...It's on seaweed...just so you can feel sorry for me...

Summer's Day Make Up

Today is my first day of two weeks of being ALL ALONE *grumpy*. My dad's gone on holiday and left me to look after the pets *grumble grumble* :P Although hopefully I'll be seeing my lovely mummy at the weekend, so maybe I won't be entirely lonely :P

Anyway, in the meantime I thought I'd show you a make up look I'd wear on a lovely sunny day (i.e a day unlike today :P). Last week was really lovely, and this week...not so much :P

I really love my Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop, it's so bright and vibrant. I know it's not for everyone, but I love wearing bright colours on my lips :)

I toned it down for my eyes, using my Naked palette to create a neutral eye. I used : Virgin, Naked, Smog and Dark Horse. Very simple and not too heavy so it doesn't compete with the lip colour.

My plan for the day is to go on a run (I'll get ready right after writing this I promise!). I've been trying to motivate myself to actually do some exercise, but I'm just so lazy :P I really do have good intentions for a bit of a health kick though, no naughty foods in the house (sad sad sad), lots of salad, fruit and fresh veggies. I can do it!

June Favourites

I'm going to have a reallllllly long car journey to visit my family and come back home again today. I do not like car journeys at all, and I'll be eating travel sickness tablets like they're skittles :P However on the way back we'll be detouring past my boyfriend's house and picking him up ^ - ^ So yay :)

Seeing as it's July now I thought I'd post a few of my monthly favourites :)

Firstly and unsurprisingly is my Naked Palette. This is gorgeous and everyone knows it, enough said.

Next is my Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula moisturiser, I really really really love this. It smells so delicious and makes my skin feel gorgeous. After I've put it on I feel like I could nibble it all off again because it smells so yummy :) And as it's a buttery formula it feels nice and thick when you put it on, and soaks into the skin easily without leaving any residue.

As I said in this post I've been really loving my Witch Stick for helping me clear up blemishes this month. It's great at drying out spots and is easy to carry around, love it.

My Andrew Barton Frizz Tamer has been such a lifesaver for the humid air we've been having recently. When my hair frizzes out it's so easy to put a weeny blob of this all over to smooth it down again. My only issue is that it smells really weirdly of ginger....just me maybe?

Finally and most importantly are my Optrex Allergy Eyedrops. Without these I would have clawed my eyes out ages ago. When I get itchy eyes I have zero self control about not rubbing them. I itch and scratch my eyes until they puff up and hurt so badly I just want to pull them out Kill Bill style. But thankfully these eyedrops have saved me from that, they're just soooooooooooo soothing, I use them twice a day and my eyes feel perfect :)

Simple Daytime Look Using Naked

After the gloriously hot and sunny day yesterday today is a little bit of a disappointment, to say the least. I was planning on lying outside in the garden, reading and sipping fruit juice until evening. Instead I'm sitting on my bed, my dressing gown on for warmth, looking sadly out of the window at the cloudy sky :( England is just so mean sometimes!

However because of this I decided to make a casual daytime look using my Naked palette, I only bought this a couple of weeks ago so it's still all new and pretty, I just want to pet it and tell it that it's mine * _____ *

Anywayyyyyy, this is the simple look I came up with, something I'd wear going out shopping or to a family occasion (like my Grandma's birthday this weekend :D).

 

These are the colours from the Naked palette which I used, I also used the lid colour under my eyes from the outside to halfway in.

 I used Benefit's Bad Gal mascara for my lashes (my favourite mascara in the world ever).

Also my boyfriend is coming over next week (yay ^ - ^) I don't know how much time I'll have to blog because I want to show him around. He hasn't been to my new house since we moved so I have loads to show him, including the woods where the deer live! ^ - ^ It's going to be a good week, but I have a feeling today and tomorrow will go by extra slowwwwwwwwly :P

Very Restrained London Haul

I feel as though I've been away from my poor blog for years and years even though it's only been a week, my poor lonely little blog > . < But I've been having a fantastic time visiting my friends and having fun so it's not all bad :P I spent four days with Daydreamer and then another four in London with another friend. I've had such a busy, but fun week :P

Even though I was in London for the Jubilee I didn't go down to the river to see the procession, the weather was just too awful! I heard people saying you got shouted at if you put up an umbrella, so I'm quite glad I didn't go :P Even so there was a really festive spirit when I did go out, loads of people wrapped in Union Jacks and lots of pretty bunting everywhere ^ - ^

Of course when I went to London I had to go shopping, because, well it's London :P I was really rather restrained, I bought two things (although I'm showing you four because I got two things before I left for my visit :P). But that doesn't mean that I didn't spend a lot, trains, the tube, food and clubs are expensive in London :P (But I did manage to go to Ministry of Sound which was sooo much fun :D).

I finally got Naked, the Urban Decay kind, not the socially awkward arrest worthy kind... I literally ran into House Of Fraser, grabbed Naked, paid and ran back out because we were dashing to catch a film :P (Avengers again :P I love it too much). It was one of my fastest shops ever :P

Used it once it London, bring it home only to find the mirror smashed on the journey > . <

I also popped into Primark to pick up a onesie :P But I've decided onesies are practical student wear, so I HAVE to have one. Next year when I can't afford heating and I'm freezing up in North Wales I will spend all day in my teddy bear onesie, cute and warm :P I've already worn it back at home, despite it being June it IS England, and as I write it's pouring it down outside :(

Finally my before London buys, I got two Andrew Barton products from Asda, these were two for £6, such a brilliant offer. I've been using The Frizz Tamer everyday before I go out and it makes my hair so much sleeker and shinier, really in love. Yesterday I used the hair mask for the first time and loved it too, it smells incredibly yummy and although it is a bit of a hassle to use (wash hair, put on mask, leave overnight, rinse in the morning) it really has made my hair lovely and soft.

That's it for now, in theory my hauls should stop until I either get a job or go back to uni, but lets be honest...there's no way I could ever show that kind of restraint :P
