BUSY BUSY BUSY

I feel like I'm not a very regular blogger at the moment, but in all fairness over the last week I've been awfully busy. Joe had his graduation, we went to see James Murphy and 2manydjs at the Manchester International Festival, and I've been working and also packing to move house next week!

Here are a few photos from the last week!

Joe's friends and himself.

I found my camera also does panoramic photos so I thought I'd test that feature out whilst we were having a few pints in the sun.

I also said in my previous post I had a little surprise for you all and here it is!


I hope you all enjoy the video and let me know if you want to see anymore like it!

I am still alive!

Hello everyone!

I'm ever so sorry for the major lack of posts lately. From the start of May to the start of June I have been so so busy. I had a university work placement at the Countess of Chester hospital for 5 weeks as a Medical Laboratory Assistant in the hospitals Pathology Laboratory. I loved the 5 weeks I was at placement there and was so sad to leave. But I learnt so many wonderful things and I was lucky enough to spend a few days in the mortuary and view post-mortems  I know to many of you readers It won't sound thrilling or nice at all but I was amazed. One of the ladies I worked with made a very valid point that once your curiosity of wanting to know what happens and wanting to know what goes on in a human body then you sort of forget that you are looking inside a deceased person and you end up very inquisitive. Over the few days of watching post-mortems I must have had the two people I was working with reckless with the amount of questions I asked but they never once failed to give me an answer. 

I've also wonderfully managed to gain myself a job at Bravissimo in Chester as a bra fitter. Its such a great job and I'm enjoying myself so much. (I'm very very tempted to do a post on a good fitting bra for you ladies). I've been working there since the end of April and have been offered a permanent contract so I will still have an income whilst I'm at university in my third year.

Finally, I have had my university results back from my second year! I passed this year at a 2:2. Although I would have much preferred a 2:1 I did work my bum off all year and always tried my absolute hardest so no one can ask any more of me. Hopefully with more working my bum off I will come out with a 2:1 overall for my degree grade which I would be ecstatic with. Hopefully I'm going to do a couple of reviews on some products I've bought recently and also quite possibly a haul video as I've gone a little crazy buying beauty and hair products!

Enjoy the rest of your weekends everyone and speak to you soon!

Beauty Haul!

Hello Lovelies!

Firstly, sorry for the lack of posts! I've been terribly busy with my exam revision and spending time at home with my family and my boyfriend. 

But all is not lost! I've done a little bit of a haul today - yay!

I've been a little bit naughty today and popped into the MAC counter in Debenhams  I've been wanting a foundation that was to match my skin tone properly for a long time, and after one of my close friends telling me about her going into MAC and they matched a few foundations to her skin, I thought I would go myself and see what they could do for me!
The lady who helped me out was called Lydia, if I remember correctly.
She had the most fantastic make-up I've seen for a long time. She firstly sat me down and asked me about what my skin was like, oily or dry. My skin has always been quite dry so I've always needed to use a good moisturiser. She told me MAC have a moisturiser that will do wonders for my skin called Complete Comfort Cream
She buffed this into my skin, and then used the Prep + Prime Skin on top of the moisturiser. I like quiet a matte finish foundation rather than dewy, so Lydia recommended I try the Studio Fix Fluid in NW13. This gave a very good coverage to which I liked very much. I asked her about adding a little colour to my face as I am very fair skinned. She added Mineralize Skinfinish Natural to contour my face which looked lovely!

After all this, I was very happy to purchase the item I tried.
She was lovely enough also to give me 2 small sample pots of the primer and moisturiser.



After being at MAC I also popped down to Boots to get some bits and bobs.
I ended up coming back with the following;


1. Collection 2000 Fast Stroke eyeliner in black.
2. Rimmel Professional eyebrow pencil in dark brown.
3. Boots simply sensitive eye makeup remover.
4. Natural Collection blusher in peach melba.
5. Boots dark chocolate brown permanent hair dye.

Finally I also bought a new pair of high waisted jeans from New Look in a size smaller than I previously was, so yay for weight loss!

See you all soon!
