Someday Summary - Photos by me!

What to update you with this week...

• I had an English exam Wednesday and a Psychology exam today. English was hard! Teachers said it was a tough paper this year. I know I've screwed it up so that's another retake in the Summer! Psychology was OK. I'm glad I'm not confident about it because last time I was confident, I didn't do so well.

• I have a Falmouth University interview on the 16th February. This includes a group discussion. I am terrified! If I do it, I will be so proud of myself. Going to buy an outfit next week as I have no smart clothes. I'm thinking smart shorts and tights with a classic white shirt.

• I'm getting my provisional driving license photo taken tomorrow. I'm going to take extra care with my hair and make-up! Cannot wait for my provisional to arrive, can then buy alcohol and go in town
  (Have no other ID, boo!)... as well as learn to drive haha.

There isn't much else to tell you really. This week's photos are my own! I really like my new camera, it produces some nice detailed photos. I have used Picnik to create the effects. I love that website so much!

My Blue Nose Friends collection! Aren't they cute?

Puddin' (Yes that is her real name; she was chubby as a kitten!). She snores. And breathes loudly.

Mia, Puddin's mother. She is purrdddyy.

Collection 2000 Extreme Coloured Lengthening Mascara - Review and Swatches

I've had these for months but never got around to reviewing them, sorry!

Top to bottom: Purple, Teal, Blue, Black.

Blue wand.

(Greasy bug eyes!) Top to bottom: Teal, Purple, Blue, all with 3 coats.

Price: £2.99

I love the packaging and of course, the price. That's all I like though I'm afraid. The formula is far too dry. It looks and feels like a mascara I've used for a few months and am about to throw away. I couldn't have received a bad one because all four are like it. Because of the drying formula, the colour pay off isn't very good and my eyelashes clump together. I have seen some positive reviews on them but I personally don't see anything good about the formula. It's annoying because I really want these to work! Look how amazing the blue on the wand looks; I want that colour to transfer to my eyelashes.

Urban Decay Primer Potion Test

I received the Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box for my birthday and it came with a mini primer potion. I'd never used a primer potion before and didn't think it could make such a big difference!

The colours I have tested below are (From left to right): Half Baked, YDK and Twice Baked. These are my favourites from the set because they're smooth and pigmented (A few others contain glitter which I'm not found of.)

Top photo: The eyeshadows swatched with primer potion and without. As you can see, the eyeshadows with primer potion are more pigmented.

Middle photo: After wiping them off of my arm with considerable force. The swatches without primer potion used are nearly gone whereas the ones with primer potion are still intact.

Bottom photo: After wiping off with a facial wipe. Swatches without primer potion have disappeared but you can still see the primer potion swatches.

I am so impressed! I think I'm going to buy a primer from ELF as it will be cheaper than Urban Decay. If I don't like it, I'll purchase the Urban Decay one :)

Birthday Cakes and Presents

My day has been pretty standard. I'm going to celebrate in a few weeks and go for a meal with a few friends :)

My triple tower cheesecake birthday cake! Banoffee, strawberry and blackberry. This is now in pieces!

Chocolate cake for the people who didn't like cheesecake. There is only a little bit left! I have a piggy family you see.

Now onto the presents:

I didn't receive a lot but I don't mind. One of my friends bought me my first helium balloon! She also got me the cactus (10th one!), necklace in box, socks, cake and badge!

My other friend bought me the Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box :D

My sister bought me the Blue Nose Friends spider teddy (So cute!) and another one of my friends bought me the husky.

My nan gave me money for a provisional.

My parents bought me a camera: Fujifilm 14mp JX530. It's not a professional one but it's the biggest present they've ever bought me and it takes decent photos :)

Happy Birthday To Me!

It's my 18th birthday today! I can now use dating sites and enter scamming competitions (Not that I want to, it's just nice to think I can if I wanted!).

I'm not doing much for my birthday, just having a Chinese with the family.

I have a triple cheesecake tower birthday cake (I like cheesecake!) (Top layer: Banoffee, middle layer: Strawberry, bottom layer: Blackberry. I thought I would have two berry ones as the banoffee will be so sweet.) and a large chocolate cake for the people who don't like cheesecake so I'm sure I will be eating cake for the next week!

My nan also made me these:

Caramel slices! One of my favourites :) They were made in her bakery but she made them herself.

I will be posting either tonight or tomorrow showing you my cheesecake birthday cake and the pressies I have received :)

Last but certainly not least is you lovely lot. I wanted to get to 500 blog followers by my 18th and I have well and truly surpassed that and am now on 509! In the last few weeks (Even before I set the target) I have gained over 30 followers! So hello to you all! I hope you stay :)

Thank you to everyone who reads my blog :)

Coat

I've finally found a coat! I'm not in love with it but it'll do. I'm size 8-10 in clothes and normally get hoodies/coats in a size 12 but they didn't have any so I got a 14. I don't mind though because I like big, cosy coats. It's not waterproof but again, I don't care because it will still keep me dry.

Newlook coat £40.

Newlook fleece £15.

My dad said it looks stupid showing parts of the coat but I can't get a full length photo because I don't have flexible arms. He also said it looks stupid covering my face but I didn't like how I looked in the photo.

UPDATE: I am now in love with this coat :) It looks so much better in person and it is sooo cosy!

Nails Of The Week!

No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour in Milan.

My nan gave me and my sister the No7 nail polish Christmas set the other day which I'm glad about because it sold out online like hot cakes. Unfortunately we had to share the polishes and my sister 'bagsied' Totally Teal! I like this one just as much though (Mum owns it and I've wanted my own bottle for a while).
