Rose and almond oil vaseline

Rimmel match perfection concealer

Barry M lip gloss

Benefit Flatter Me creaseless cream shadowliner

This is what I call my essentials. I do have a lot more but its kept in a drawer rather than a make up bag. If i'm wearing my glasses I just wear mascara, bronzer eyeliner, concealer and vaseline. I don't ever wear any foundation. It just does not agree with my skin, I feel like i'm trapped and it brings me out in spots so I stay well away! I only wear eyeshadow and eyeliner when I have my contacts in. I tend to hide behind glasses.I love the benefit eyeshadow but I was getting through it too fast and it was costing me a fortune to replace it. So I brought some from ELF to wear everyday so I could save benefit for special occasions. It is the first thing I have brought from ELF and am very impressed, I can't wait until I can treat myself to some more things once payday comes!

I adore the Rimmel eyeliner, have been buying it since I was 15. I love the way it smudges and the fact that it's only £2.99 doesn't hurt either! Ive not found an eyeliner that's better.

I am actually after some make up brushes if anyone has any recommendations?

I still look so awkward, any tips on posing? Ha!

I am completely in love with my new skirt. I am tempted to buy it in cream too. Its such a lovely length and totally suitable for when I get a "proper" job. Thats the excuse im telling my mum when i'm buying all these new clothes! I love the floral belt that came with it. I am a little matchy matchy today but I like it. I am a massive fan of all things nautical. Its a shame that you can't see the peter pan collar under my hair. I don't know if anyone will notice but I have had a thicker blunt fringe cut it. It kept parting in the middle so I thought a thicker fringe would weigh it down. I am so pleased with it, I think it looks so much better. Just looks a bit strange with my hair tied up.

I am off out for dinner tonight at the Toby Carvery with my best friend and a couple of other school friends who I don't get to see that often. I am looking forward to having a huge catch up. One of them got married so we are going to be fawning over her wedding album. Her wedding dress was amazing! This will be the third time out in a week, it feels like Christmas! I don't usually have that much of a social life especially with girls haha!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend. Anyone doing anything exciting?

My posing looks awkward today! Its a shame you can't see the cameo ring due to the flash. The pictures were too dark when I took the flash off.

I had no clue what to wear today. It was one those days when I hated everything in my wardrobe. So I decided to have a rummage in my summer drawer to see if I could "winter up" some dresses. I found this little beauty. Its one of my favourite summer dresses, I brought it last summer when Topshop was not a faraway distant shop as it seems to be at the minute. It seems a bit of a shame to cover it up as it has an open back with a bow. But I think it looks just fine with a cardigan thrown over the top. I thought I'd paint my nails in a bright summer colour to match the dress and hopefully stop it from looking a bit dull. My lovely earrings were a birthday present off one of my friends. They are gorgeous and so "me"! The bag is not my usual style, it's years old and has just been collecting dust. But I think it helps to add a much needed pop of colour.

Im off to go see Black Swan finally with my friend which i'm looking forward too. I haven't seen her since we went to Flashdance in the West End so there will be lots to catch up on. It will be nice to be able to talk "girl talk" as all I seem to be surrounded by these days are the topics of football, sex, football, sex, football. Ah the joys of having a conversation with a group of boys! I am planning of stuffing my face with popcorn and M&Ms with a huge diet coke. Ahhhh heaven!

I also made a start on some coursework today, not a lot but still I managed to write 200 words and print off some research. Somehow the aspect of comparing the UK media to the US is not filling me with motivation! Ahh well needs to be done. I just need to get a pretty folder to start storing it in. I can feel a trip coming on to WH Smiths haha!

A heartfelt hello to all my new followers :) It means a lot that you like read my blog and I shall be, as soon as funds allow, be organising a little giveaway to say thank you!
