Someday Summary

These are getting a little repeated so next week I'll switch things up a bit... not sure how but I'll think of that when the time comes :P

A purchase from the week:
Nothing, but tomorrow I'm purchasing my trusty Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (Current one has lasted well over four months!) and a wash in wash out dye to brighten my locks.

Update:
This is something no one will care about but I bought a flask Friday so now I can take tea and soup to school! This is going to be a life saver as it's been so cold recently!

A high point from the week:
I got a conditional offer from Plymouth University. This is good... but I need the grades to get in and at the moment I'm not feeling confident about that.

A low point from the week:
I'm failing Psychology :( Keep getting E's so really need to revise LOADS or else I won't get into University.
Another low point is that this week I have 2 essays to write...
Oh and another (They keep on coming don't they!) is right in the middle of my January exams, I have a HUGE Media essay to write for my coursework and I also have to create a magazine. It's going to get in the way of revision... + I need to take photos in sunny weather and I doubt we'll get that in December/January.


We heart it time! I could only find a few I like:


Love the film UP!

ASOS Paints #2

The first two colours I ordered (Lauren and Olivia- blue and orange.) arrived yesterday and I wrote a post on them here.

The other four I ordered arrived today (Also ordered 'Katy'- a bright red but it was out of stock so I have been refunded.)

Blake- Pink, Lily- Green, Megan- Purple and Gwen- Wine Red.


EDIT: More swatches:

I picked these up in the ASOS sale for just £1 a piece (Normally £6).
The formula is great; smooth, non streaky, great colour pay off :)
Look out for some nail posts, I cannot wait to use these!

Nails Of The Week!


My last post was about a couple of ASOS nail paints and I swatched them for you. I actually thought it looked quite cool so I painted my other hand like it too, but on my other hand my middle finger is painted with the darker blue and my index finger is painted with the orange, to mix it up a bit ;)
Not to everyone's taste, but I like it :)

(Top to bottom):
ASOS Paint in Lauren
ASOS Paint in Olivia

ASOS Paints

Who's tired of hearing about the ASOS sale yet? Not me!
The ASOS Paints were £1 down from £6! First of all I only ordered two because the other colours were out of stock, but then I checked back a few days later and they were back! So here are the first two I ordered and the other four should arrive in a few days :)

Lauren and Olivia.

Top to bottom: Lauren, Olivia, Barry M's Pure Turquoise.

The formulation is great; smooth, non streaky and great colour pay off with 1-2 coats. I've read that a couple people think the formulation is too thick? I think Barry M Nail Paints are thicker and I know a lot of people love the formulation of them!

Tesco Beauty Freebies

http://www.tesco-yourbeauty.com/ regularly have freebies to give away and all you have to do is sign up and answer a few questions.
A lot of people have received a mascara which doesn't sound that impressive so I was surprised when I opened the envelope to find a nail polish. Tesco have accidentally sent me two packages so I received two polishes, and luckily in two different shades!

They're gorgeous:

Velvet and Shock. Both 11ml.
Velvet is hard to describe but I'll try my best: Shimmery bronze with red and mauve undertones.
Shock: Red with a lot of purple and fuchsia undertones.

Here are some swatches: (Quickly applied to nails, that's why they're a little messy.)


All you need is one coat, but I always do two out of habit.
These are perfect Autumn/Winter shades and I cannot wait to use them so look out for a few nail posts with these bad boys in!
It's Tesco so I doubt these will be expensive :)

Someday Summary

This week has gone fast! Was going to do this tomorrow but I'm busy and couldn't wait until Sunday! Friday is still the weekend :P

A purchase from the week:
7 ASOS nail paints- Most of the colours were re stocked and for a pound I couldn't resist! Colours I ordered were: Orange, Blue, Pink, Purple, Green, Red and Wine Red (Hopefully perfect for Winter.)
I also went to Asda earlier (I love going food shopping!) and got a travel mug (To keep your drinks hot) for £2! and a nice big box of chocolates for my friends birthday... £2.25! Crazy right? Oh and I bought some skin coloured tights and a tube of fake blood for Halloween :)

A high point from the week:
I won Onemorelipstick's MAC give away! I've chosen Shroom eye shadow and Angel lipstick :)

A low point from the week:
Hmmm I'm pretty happy at the moment so can't remember. I have bad skin though!

Weekend plans:
Saturday: Drinks around a friends and then were heading to an 18th birthday party!
Sunday: Recovering haha!
