Someday Summary - Saturday

Hello beautiful people! As per usual, I have no idea what I'm about to write.
  • In my last Someday Summary, I talked about applying to Marjon University. I've been offered a place there :) As I only need CCC, it's definitely going to be my second choice.
  • I think I know what University I want as my first choice; Plymouth. This means my first and second choices are in the city where I live and I can stay at home. This will save me money and if I wanted to, I could always move out in my second year. Falmouth University is beautiful and the course is great but if I got in, I would probably choose my second choice over it so there's really no point in putting it as my first choice. EDIT: I've chosen Plymouth as my first choice and Marjons as my second. I changed Track and everything. No going back now!
  • I've made my revision timetable for the upcoming months. I should be able to fit in around 64 hours of revision per exam. It's going to be a lot of work but I've just got to keep thinking that it's only for a few months (& then another 3 years at Uni!)
  • I've still not found a May Ball dress, haha. EDIT: I'm not going to May Ball. If I go, I won't be able to afford to go and see Lee Evans and buy people's birthday presents. I'll just hate all the photos of me plastered all over Facebook anyway. Don't want to miss out but what can I do? The £110 that would've gone on May Ball can now go on better things.
  • I'm falling in love with Etsy. I find it so much better than eBay. I look at eBay as people selling off any old junk but Etsy sells so many beautiful pieces. The community, website, products, are just better. It's amazing for jewellery. Yesterday (Or the day before; cannot remember) I bought a vintage, long, bronze, leaf necklace. It's beautiful and I cannot wait for it to arrive.
  • People who write malicious comments under anonymous = Jealous cowards.
  • I love the Upside Down Dogs website. It's a website full of photos of upside down dogs! Here are my favourites:

Personalised Photo Canvas

Bags Of Love are a personalised photo gifts manufacturer. They offer many gift ideas , from post cards to canvases, to duvet covers and bean bags.

Here is my own 12" by 16" personalised photo canvas:
I chose a gerbera daisy because it's my favourite flower. I love the colour orange and it contrasts well against my main turquoise wall.

The bits and bobs to hang it up.

The 12" by 16" canvas starts from £39. I don't know much about the prices of canvases so I'm not sure if this is expensive or not.

Overall, I am happy with my canvas and I think the website is great for personalised gifts.

Outfit Of The Day

I don't like doing Face Of The Day's because I hate the way I look and I don't like doing Outfit Of The Days because my clothes are boring. However, it has been requested a number of times if I could do more of these types of posts, so here you go:

Told you my clothes are boring!

White T-shirt: H&M
Blue shirt: Primark
Dark blue skinny jeans: Newlook
Grey pumps: Primark
Owl necklace: eBay


I'll try and get a Face Of The Day done soon but I'm telling you now, it will take a lot of photos to find one I'm happy with!


Have a good weekend :) x

Sigma Hollywood Glamour Flat Top Retractable Kabuki









Price: $25 (Around £15)

Pros:
  • The packaging is really pretty.
  • The cover and lid keep the brush protected so you can pop it in your bag.
  • The brush is super soft.
  • It washes well.

Cons:
  • When I first used this brush, it shed a couple hairs. However, no hairs shed when I washed it.
  • This is just me being picky but the finishing powder I use is white and because the tips of the brush are white, I cannot see how much product I am using. However, other products such as blush and bronzer can be seen clearly.
  • It is fairly expensive.

Nails Of The Week + Models Own Nail Polishes

I say 'Of the week', I mean I've painted them this weekend to wear throughout next week.
This is Models Own Beth's Blue; a pastel blue with a hint of lilac. This is opaque in one coat but I added a second out of habit. Pastel polishes can look a little tip-exy but having pale skin, I think I can get away with it.

These are the Models Own polishes I own so far:
Nude Beige (Click here to see swatch), Pastel Pink, Beth's Blue, Mystic Mauve, Champagne.

I'm very late on the Models Own bandwagon!
I really like these polishes; simple packaging, great formula and a wide variety of colours available.
