What's In My Bag: Uni Edition

-




So its been awhile to say the least, but I'm going to spare you the apologises and commitments to more posts and get straight to the point.

I've been a busy ol' bee with getting into Uni and settling down in my new environment, and to say I'm enjoying it is an understatement! Loving my course and all the new Uni friends I've made and so I thought now is a better time then any to return to something else I enjoy...blogging!

Usual days at Uni involve maybe one or two lectures and a few seminars and tutorials squeezed into the week but I'm out of the house everyday and always carrying my bag. I have a Mulberry long strap bag, and before you all start to object to carrying around a potential £1000 bag around uni, it is in fact a fake! I got it from Greece and its a pretty good one if I'm honest.

Inside I keep all my daily essentials: hay fever tablets, tissues, asthma pump; for those wheezy allergy days. Plasters, Vaseline and hair bobbles incase of emergencies and chewing gum of course. An unexplained paper clip; earphones which are beyond essential when walking around campus, a pencil case, purse and gloves for when the Northern cold hits, which is all the time lately! Sunglasses which I'm certain have never been used and a portable phone charger with no cable so very useless.

I also carry around the lipstick I'm wearing that day and today was MAC Velvet Teddy and a MAC lip pencil in Dervish.

Thanks for bearing with me but I'd love to hear if you're in uni and what things you carry around or any tips. 

Thanks for reading!

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Well hey there! I thought I'd slip in a blog post between homeworks and coursework and tell you all about this unbelievable mascara from Benefit. Benefit is my favourite brand of make-up and always produces amazing products and so I can't rave about this mascara enough and encourage anyone who is looking for a new mascara to definitely give this a try.  I wear this mascara everyday and it never fails to make my lashes look amazing (if I do say so myself). It ticks all the boxes for length, volume and curl and the 'jet-black' colour stands out no matter how long you wear it. Whenever I use a mascara that isn't waterproof I always end up with black smudges under my eyes which always use to annoy me and made it so difficult to find a good mascara, but with Benefit They're Real! mascara I've never had this problem which really surprised, because it was the first non-waterproof mascara that I could wear all day without any smudges. This i

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation / Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Well hello there! Today I wanted to show my favourite (and in my opinion the best) foundation and concealer around. The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer are the perfect combination for a minimal make-up look, or when built up great for special occasions. On days when I'm too lazy to bother with a full face of make-up, I use the Collection Concealer on its own to cover-up any blemishes (which are a constant on my face) and dark circles. This product is highly pigmented and has such a good coverage but still has a natural look. In this concealer I am a shade Light 2. Again and again I go back to this product and in my opinion it is amazing. The applicator is easy to use and great for applying under the eyes and the packaging is simple. The only thing I would change about this product is making it bigger, so it would last longer and spare me the time of going out and repeatedly buying new ones. Having

Recent Favourites

Well hey there! Huge apology for the lack of posts lately, school work is slowly taking over my life and leaving me with a non-existent social life and seriously sleep deprived. I wanted to make a commitment to myself to do a monthly favourites but I don't think that's ever going to be possible with my combination of laziness and an never-ending pile of work, so I thought I'd just drop a quick mention of what I've been using lately. So it isn't a lot but here are some recent discoveries of products/stuff I've become completely obsessed with starting with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in 'Not An Illusion'. This is great to wear on a day-to-day basis or for a school day look as it just gives a tint of colour but isn't too glossy. It has a very sweet/chocolatey smell and I pretty much wear it everyday recently. Next beauty related product I adore (which is no surprise) is the Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder. I got it as part
