So I disappeared...

Having temporarily disappeared for a while, I'm back! I'm heading back to university (right now actually, I'm on the train!) and hope to resume my blogging status. I've been so busy (and lazy) because of going to work etc and plus I've not really had anything good to say!

Later I shall move into my new house, with seven others, some of whom are my friends and some of whom hopefully soon will be! I am going to be doing my best to prettify my room with lovely things so I shall set my photography skills upon that and post some pictures soon :)

I should also be spending far more time this year doing my actually university work... But I also have myself a part time job too...

Shall post again soon!

Haul! : What I bought, 9th August 2012 - Tell me what you think!

Good Morning to you all! I keep meaning to post but just end up not having the time! So, I thought I'd show you what I got when I went shopping on Friday. But to start with, I'd just like to share with you what I just ate for breakfast; it was amazing!

Crumpets with natural yoghurt and berries

So, anyway, here goes!

Makeup 

Got a few really nice items in the way of makeup. I'm so happy with my purchases I can't even tell you!
1.Revlon PhotoReady foundation in shade 003 Shell
2. Loreal Paris nail colour in shade 104, beige countess
3. Real Techniques stippling brush
4. EcoTools Kabuki
5. MAC Eyeshadow in Patina
6. Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Romantic

My favourite out of those is definitely the lipstick; I'm in love with the colour, the packaging, how it looks when it's on, it's just amazing! The nail colour I am wearing is Beige Countess and I really like it. I thought it looked similar to Sand Tropez by Essie but it's got a slightly more pinky hue to it.

Clothes

I'll arrange this into which shop I bought them in. As well as these I also got some vest tops and some tights but I thought they were a bit too boring to feature!

Primark:

Internacionale:

River Island:

Zara:

So there we have it! I'm really happy with all of my purchases. I can feel some outfit of the day posts coming up very soon! My bestest friend Lizzie is coming to stay with me tomorrow for a few days so I think I'll get some wear out of my new buys.

Shall also post about all of the fun and frolics we have this week =)

YouTube: So I Bit The Bullet...

I've just filmed two videos and now I'm contemplating uploading them! You have no idea how big a deal this is for me!

Watch this space...

(By the way, quality = horrific. Rambling = a lot. Lighting = horrible. Double chins = aplenty.)

Questions For You All - Please Comment!

Hello again! I hope you are all feeling magical on this Tuesday evening! Well, I have some questions / general pontification to share with you all.
First up, can anyone recommend me a lipstick? I am pale and have dry lips. I want something that doesn't dry them out more. I'd quite like to try something high end-ish but I don't know what. I also don't know what colour! All suggestions very very welcome! I'll be shopping on Friday so I'm hoping to pick something up then - I'll feature whatever it is I get, on here!

Next, I'd like to try out something cheaper in the way of makeup and review it. Is there anything anyone would like me to purchase and review? I'm thinking mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, or something like that. Again I'll probably make some impulse buys anyway (I usually do!).

Finally, YouTube... I'm wondering if I should start vlogging. I watch a few beauty vloggers on YouTube quite religiously and am getting tempted to start doing the same. But I'm scared no one would watch or be interested! Thoughts?

Please comment, I'm clearly lost!

Diet / Weight loss : The Story So Far

Having been on a diet for about one and a half months I thought I would share with you what it is I am doing and how it is going. The weight isn't coming off amazingly fast but I'm definitely getting smaller! In the time I've been doing this I've gone from a UK size 14 to a UK size 10 ish. I now have three pairs of jeans that are a size 10 and although they are fairly tight on the legs, they definitely do up round the middle. I feel like I've eaten more since being on the diet which seems a bit counterintuitive! Here's a sort of sample day:

Breakfast: Porridge made with skimmed milk and a handful of mixed nuts and dried cranberries
Snack: Natural yoghurt with half a banana
Lunch: Ham sandwich (wholemeal bread and no butter or margarine)
Snack: CornThins and Marmite
Dinner: Two boiled eggs, basmati rice and brocoli 

I drink mainly water and green tea.

I've also been going to the gym 4 - 5 days a week for about an hour and a half. It's paying off and I definitely feel healthier! I'm going to have to go shopping on Friday as all of my clothes are too big for me! (apart from my new jeans of course!)

If you have any questions, please comment and I'll definitely answer them!
