Of Love and Lipstick

I cannot believe that I am 22 already; where has time gone?! I still feel like that young girl who was eagerly looking forward to her 18th birthday and adulthood, having just left school. Now here I am my 22nd birthday and away to start my third year of psychology. Time flies when you are having fun! My mum completely spoiled me, considering it is three weeks until we go to Florida. I thought I'd share some of the lovely bits and bobs that she gave me.

I burnt down one of my jar candles completely yesterday and I felt really wasteful to be throwing out the remaining glass jar. I could have used it to store flour, or other baking materials, but I recently bought more makeup (oops!) 

Hi Guys, It's gotten to that time of year again when the shops start to proudly display all their Christmas goods, and the shop I work in is no different. The Christmas portion of deliveries in previous weeks has risen significantly. Each time I go into work I end up humming any Christmas songs I can think of. In past years I have always looked forward to the little makeup kits that all the shops seem to get, this year being the exception. I seem to be choosing more 'better quality' over quantity; going for more MAC, Benefit etc.   But, when I seen the Creative Colours collection in work I was intrigued. The deal was even sweetened when I realised I would get a discount on them.

Have you ever had that moment where you end up buying a bit (or a LOT!) of makeup before getting home and realising that you had ran out of space in your nice, neat storage area. Well.. That was me on Saturday. I had just done a final Christmas pressie haul, conveniently from my mother to me, and realisied that there was no way all of that would fit into my drawers. I panicked, I had just bought new clear acrylic storage for my drawers from

Hey GUYS! Just more experimentation with the glitter lips. I watched 'The Wizard of Oz' today and I have to say that it is hands down my all time favorite musical (followed by the great 'LES MISERABLES!). When I was growing up I was always fascinated by

Glitter lips! I honestly thought that they'd turn out a lot worse than they did. I thought that they would

So, this evening I'm heading out to my university society's freshers initiations; a time when all of the group 'oldies' get the 'newbies' totally intoxicated and playing silly games. Now, I am not a big drinky-poo person and so will only be having a couple. This leads to me playing the person who takes the photos and makes sure no one collapses from alcohol poisoning. As my 'official' title is that of 'glamorous assistant'...

Hi :) Soo I was in Florida during the summer and, as one does on holiday in a place where the shopping is fantastic, I went a bit spree mad. One of the things that I bought were the MAC Holiday Ice Parade Mineralize Brush Set. Now they were bought as part of a larger makeup set from a shop in the Orlando Premium Outlets (Top of I-Drive, not near Seaworld) called The Beauty Store, I think. I didn't realize that they were in the package until I got back to the hotel and opened it up. One back in Scotland I decide to look them up and then I realized that they were from the 2011 holiday season, which made me really happy as none of my makeup crazed family could get them. The outer packaging was nice (no pic). It was an icy white box with metallic sliver pattern effect, which was nice and inside was the bag. Honesty, the bag is not my biggest like of the set. It's quite small for me as I travel with a LOT of stuff, and the extended zipper makes for a hard time opening ...
