Last Few Weeks + October Empties

I cannot believe we are this far into November already.  I have been incredibly busy in the last few weeks.  Working, spending time with friends, working, trying to squeeze in time with family, working and trying to find time to relax.  So here is a sum up of the last few weeks in pictures.

1. Newly dyed and cut hair. 2. Fog in the hills. 3. Wore my boots out. 4. Trying on ridiculous things for Halloween. 

5. Make-up-less face. 6. Got a nose piercing! 7. Lots of Barocca was greatly needed. 8. Almost killed the microwave.

9. Made strawberry and white chocolate cupcakes. 10. Getting my boobs out? Dressed as a zombie Doctor. 11+12. 5th November. Fireworks!

October Empties

Balance Me Radiance Face Oil
Oil?  On your face?!  Exactly what I thought too.  Surely it will make my face greasy and cause my skin to break out?  However it caused quite the opposite effect.  I used this product before applying make-up in the morning and my face did not become oily or greasy, and I am sure my skin was clearer whist using this product.  This product left my skin feeling lovely and soft.  I only had a tester and it lasted for ages.  So even though the full size bottle is £30 I think it is well worth it given the effect it had, and how long it lasts.

It's Potent Eye Cream, Benefit
Benefit claims that this moisturising cream fades dark circles and helps to smooth fine lines.  Did it fade dark circles from my tired eyes?  I am not sure, quite possibly.  It did, however have a very good moisturising effect.  This product is a thick cream with a freshening effect that lasts a long time.  I use this every day before applying make-up and was amazed at how long it lasted.  I would buy this product again, however before I do, I may try a cheaper moisturiser.

Peaches and Clean, Cleansing Milk, Soap & Glory
This was not the first time I had bought this product.  It is one of my favourite cleansers.  It is gentle on the skin, smells lovely and is a great cleanser.  I use this product at night after removing make-up and washing my face.  It is amazing to see all that extra dirt and make-up coming off my face.  Definitely a must-have for me!

Great Lash Mascara, Maybelline
I have purchased this mascara quite a few times.  It is not too expensive and I really like it as a day-to-day mascara.  Maybelline claims that this product thickens eyelashes without clumps... and it does just that.  Too many times I have bought mascara and it turns out to be clumpy.  I hate that.  So this mascara is a winner for me.

Well that was my first ever empties post.  I am slowly trying out new things on this blog :)

March Bucket List

I know, I've been bad.  It may seem like I have given up on blogging but I have not. I have just had a crazy amount of university work lately and that seems to take up most of my life at the moment, so the odd chance I get to relax and socialise I take it, so haven't had time for anything else.  In two weeks hopefully this work will be done!!

It's back to the old monthly bucket list.

11. Get a job.

In January I made a plan to produce a brilliant CV and personal statement so I could start applying for graduate jobs.  I have now applied for about 20 jobs, I just need some interviews now!

12. Complete my university work to a high standard.

I mentioned that I have a lot of work at the moment.  It's very well rushing this work to get it out of the way before the deadlines, but I want good grades so I need to produce high quality work!

13. Go to a festival... Or Two... Or Three...

This is the year I finish university.  I want to have an awesome summer by going to as many festivals as I can.  Of course I cannot afford every festival so will volunteer for some.

14. Blog regularly.

This is something I enjoy, so once my work is completed and I have more time, I want to get back into blogging regularly again.

15. Treat my parents.

Throughout my four years at university my parents have had to financially support me, some years more than others, and I would not have been able to survive if they did not.  I am really grateful for this but have never been able to show it other than a "thank you" and a hug.  Once I have a job and have been earning a decent amount of money for some months, I want to buy my parents a holiday or something nice so show my appreciation.  Realistically I won't be able to do this until the end of this year, but it's still something I want to do.

Just to finish up, here's a February round up of instagram pictures:

1. Revising in bed.  2. Obsessed with candles lately.  3. Valentine's chocolates treat from Mummy.
4. Love this perfume! 5. Un-makeupped eye. 6. Got to start the morning off with a cuppa!
7. Trying out a new colour. 8. Finally started reading! 9. Treated myself.

Do you have any aims for the month?

 

Four Months

Loving the black nail varnish at the moment.  I use NYC Expert Last Nail Polish.  Really need a new top coat though, my current one chips far too easily.

My hands and nails are in a state.  I need to get back into a good moisturising routine.  I blame the cold weather!!

I cannot believe it is the end of January!  I didn't even realise until I was reading through other blogs today.  This means just four months of university left!  Eeeeeeee that's scary!  This month has gone too fast but I have achieved quite a lot.  I have always wanted to do an Instagram post, so I am doing a January one for the sake of it and just because I can:

1. I learnt to bake. 2. Went back to university. 3. Had a few shopping sprees.
4. It was cold so I lived in slippers. 5. Had a few drunken nights out. 6. I got pierced!
7. Love these nails. 8. Addicted to hot chocolate because it was cold. 9. Became addicted to these shoes.

I have an exam next Thursday so now it's time to revise like mad!

Goodbye Money, Hellooo New Clothes!

I went shopping today not really expecting to see much, and came away with a new dress, skirt, trousers and shoes leaving me feeling quite happy.  Isn't it sad how new purchases make me feel?

Favourite new shoes! From Faith at Debenhams.

Dress from Primark.

Skirt from River Island.

Trousers from River Island.

I cannot wait to wear that skirt, I know exactly what I will be wearing it with.

The next few days will be filled with work, suitcase packing and travelling back to university.  I expect a lot of stress!

I have just got Instagram.  I don't really understand it at the moment, but there we go.  If you want to add me (do you even add people on it?  I now feel like my Mother using Facebook), then you can find me on here:
