Update

Wasn't I doing well blogging everyday? This week has been super busy and a minor blip in my consistency progress. I have my first day of university on Monday (thats tomorrow ahhhh!) meaning that the past week has been packed full of freshers related events. I'm super excited and super scared at the same time but happy to be finally starting after a long summer. I've had a crazy 4 months off and where has it gone? I have no idea. I started off working loads for the first 2/3 months adding up tp over 300 extra hours. I took the last month to enjoy all the money with plenty of London days out and shopping! I brought a fancy new camera for my blog, youtube and photography for university, as well as filling up my makeup draw and wardrobe with treats. Hopefully after my first week or two I'll be settled into the routine and be back to everyday blogging and weekly/twice weekly youtube videos. Lots of luck to all of you starting university!

The Setup

I thought it may be a nice idea to show you guys the behind the scenes of the blog. I'm still getting used to my new camera and lighting, resulting in my images not being perfect but I'm really enjoying learning! If you've noticed I've been blogging everyday!? Its a shock to me as well. I've always wanted to get into blogging but never dedicated myself and made broken promises of consistency on my youtube channel. With my new camera I've had a sudden burst of excitement for my channel and blog, wanting to put a bit more time in. I've been filming, photographing and typing blog posts in advance (so far so good). With the balance of short and snappy blog posts I hope it will be possible to maintain when I start uni. Wish me luck.

Bourjois Shine Edition



Bourjois - Shine Edition lipstick - (left to right) 22 Famous fuchsia & 23 Grenade in - £7.99

When I was younger I used to shy away from bright lips but theres nothing I love more now! I picked these lipsticks up on a whim, not really knowing what the community had to say about them. Upon first swatch I found them to be comparable to Revlon Lip butters (my all time favourite lipstick formula). They have a lovely shade range on offer although I settled on arguably two very similar shades, a hot fuchsia pink on the left and a more berry toned pink ready for Autumn on the right. Although I do still prefer Revlon's efforts these are two gorgeous lipsticks with great pigmentation and a moisturising glossy feel.
