Nails Of The Week!

Barry M Nail Paint in Coral.

I haven't worn this polish since last Summer and forgot how much I love it. It's called Coral and is quite simply... a coral. I've had this polish for 1 year 9 months and the formulation is the same as when I first purchased it :)

Someday Summary - Friday

• Jacks (Or Jax as my dad prefers to spell it) went 'missing' for 2 1/2 weeks. We weren't particularly worried because it's 'mating season' (He had the chop about a month ago though, poor sod). On Tuesday my dad found him chillin' in someone's garden a few streets away haha. We decided to get him a collar so people know where to return him if he goes walk abouts again. It's black and sparkly and he looks adorable!

He kept moving, hence the side shot but this photo shows you the collar well.

• Also on Tuesday, I drank 1L 250ml of water! I know the recommended amount is 2L but I'm still proud of myself. The only water I normally drink is in a few cups of teas a day. I'm going to try and drink more because I'm sure my body is suffering from the little amount it gets. My muscles keep pulling themselves and they're so painful that I cannot move for about 5 minutes. I'm guessing this is because of water deficiency. Drinking water will also make my skin look better!

• I'm stressing out about exams. One month left people! I'm worried about English and Media (Not so much Psychology). I get my results on the 18th August and before I collect them, I can log into Ucas to see if I've been accepted into the Uni's I've applied for. Imagine if they say I haven't got a place... I'm going to have to go into school to collect my results, knowing I've done bad. The 18th is also my sister's birthday so if my results are poor, I'm going to be crying on her happy occasion.

• Most people in my year either have a job, can drive, go 'clubbing' or are having sex. I do none of these things and it makes me feel like a child. I don't have the: confidence to get a job, money to learn to drive, friends to go 'clubbing' and I don't have a boyfriend. In fact, I've never had a boyfriend and I'm 18. How pathetic is that?

My favourite cleanser is nearly gone! Thankfully I have a back up of The Body Shop's Vitamin E Facial Cleansing Bar. Review can be found here. I wrote the review 11 months ago and it's only just running out!

Hair Of The Day

I normally wear my hair straight but decided to do something different today. My natural hair was looking rather nice so I just added a few loose curls. I don't like leaving the house with natural hair because I feel scruffy so felt the need to tweak my hair with the curling tongs. I was also going to do a FOTD but the photos were awful!

China Glaze For Audrey

I've been waiting to wear this polish for a week! I had a few cuts on my fingers so was waiting for them to heal before I took any photos. This is my first China Glaze polish and I love it! This is one of China Glaze's most famous shades and I can see why. I bought it from a seller called enchantedbeautyspot on eBay for around £4.50 including delivery. It arrived from America in just over a week which is pretty good! beautyzone2007 is also another great seller for China Glaze, OPI, Essie etc. The next shades I'm going to order are Flyin' High and High Hopes from the Up and Away collection :)

MyFace Cosmetics blusher in Paradisio Pink

Casing, product in indirect sunlight, product in direct sunlight.

Swatch, swatch blended out.

I recently won this blusher in a Twitter competition and was excited to receive it as I have never tried any products from this brand before.

What I absolutely love about this brand is that the products are categorised into groups; Fair, Medium and Medium/Dark. This makes it easy for you to choose a shade that will suit your skin tone.

Paradisio Pink is part of the Fair collection and is a bright, bubblegum pink. The colour is that of the indirect sunlight photos but I thought I would show you what the colour looks like in direct sunlight too.

I love the packaging; sturdy and sleek. The brush that comes with the compact (Which also contains a mirror) isn't very soft and I will rarely use it. That being said, most brushes that come with products aren't of great quality. I suppose it is ideal if you want to touch up your blush during the day though.

The formula of the blush is top quality. It is smooth, highly pigmented and blends well.

You can buy this for £9.99, which I must admit, is more expensive than the other blushers I buy, but it is just within my price range (I don't like to spend over £10 on a product!).

There are two other blusher shades in the fair range and they look equally as beautiful!

You can take a look at the website here.

Ring ring!

I couldn't afford to buy anyone presents at Christmas and felt ever so guilty when my friends gave me mine. Now that I have some money, I've decided to buy/give them their Christmas presents! Better late than never :P I bought the necklace above for my bestie. It's so beautiful! I was tempted to keep it for myself haha

The chain is a great length and sits on your cleavage; not too short and not too long.

I bought this for £5-6 from this seller on Etsy.

Someday Summary - Sunday

My Someday Summary posts will now include photos I've taken throughout the week! I love looking at everyone else's :)

• Last night I changed my blog layout and header. All I wanted to do was change a few individual fonts but for some reason, I wasn't using the simple design and couldn't. I changed to the simple design and had to alter everything! A big thank you to Sophie, from Beauty Comes From Within - She gave me the html codes to make my whole blog layout wider and centre my page tabs :) I changed my blog header to something Summery. The amount of time it took me to find a photo... I may as well start finding photos for the Autumn and Winter headers now!
• I don't know if I want to do English at Uni anymore. This isn't good seeing as I've already applied! I just think I'm not capable.

Puddin' snoozing in the sun!

What am I having for tea tonight? Fajitas!

After three months, my birthday balloon is dying. It now hovers across my bedroom floor.

My cacti at present. Gosh, the photo really highlights the dirty pots eh?! I had to re-pot the second one from the left as he was getting too big. The second one from the right is about to bloom.

That's it, have a lovely Sunday :)
