♡ Fortnight in Photos #2 ♡

Chemistry revision // Food shopping with mama-bear // Fairy lights // Docs weather // Off to cardiff for some shopping // Favourite // Cwtches with Judy // Sixth Form // Maths revision in bed // Skinny Latte // Rainy rain // Cleaned and made food, domestic goddess // Pretty pastel flowers from mama-bear // Off to the cinema with Mick to see Paranorman 3D // Pesto and veg // Being posey

The past two weeks have been filled with revision and rain. I went to see paranorman 3D with my boyfriend and it was really good. I was surprised I enjoyed it so much considering it was a childrens film but it was so cute (and actually really funny), I recommend it.
I've also been watching the big bang theory a lot. My boyfriend bought series 1 to 5 and I haven't stopped watching them since. I think it is so so funny and if you haven't already seen it then I think you should.
It was also my boyfriends birthday this weekend (its mine in only 6 days yay) and we went out for some yummy food and then a drink with all his friends and fam. It was a really nice night.

What have you been up to this weekend?

Oh Comely // Casual Friday // Wilko's things to review // Missed the postman sigh // Cuddles with my boyfriend and his dog // Self // A night filled with maths // Reading & tea // New post // Blogging in bed // School uniform // Ribena yum// ASOS shoe lust // clean window cill / Me and my boyf at a family meal // Outfit

I haven't really done a lot over the past two weeks. I've been out for two family meals which were very yummy indeed and have been getting used to being back at school sigh. I'm enjoying my AS levels so far though. I was worried about maths but it's actually not too bad and the books I'm reading for english literature are actually pretty interesting. 

I'm sorry that posts have been a little sparse lately but they should be more frequent this week and on wards. I've made myself a little schedule and I should be posting around 3 posts a week which will be nice because I've missed having the time to blog and being organised. 

Look out for a budget spot removal post and a diy face mask post this week! 

What have you been up to over the past fortnight? How are you finding school/sixth form/college/uni?

☮ Two Weeks In Pictures ☮

Shopping for school things in Swansea // Featured on www.whatsinmyhandbag.com // Results flowers from mama-bear // My Topshop Vecra's have served me well // New brush storage // Innocent smoothie's are my favourite // Room is looking cute // Another beautiful summer's day in Wales! // Topshop unique jumper // Waiting at the train station because shopping again in Cardiff // Casual day // New lipstick // Featured in the town's newspaper for my results // Mardi Gras at Cardiff! // Me and Alice at Mardi Gras // Being posey with my new lipstick

I haven't done much over the past two weeks apart from shop a lot for school supplies and laze around with my boyfriend. Although, I went to Mardi Gras yesterday at Cardiff with a group of friends and it was lots of fun. I am definitely going to attend next year, it was such a nice day out (I even sun burned a teeny bit) and it was nice spending time with lots of my friends whilst showing our support. I also went out for food tonight with lots of family and my boyfriend, and we had some amazing food. I'm oh so very full now.

I'm back in school on Tuesday, massive sigh, where I'll be starting sixth form and my a-levels, so I'm sorry in advanced if there is a lack of posting over the next week as I will be getting use to the work load etc. after that I should of worked out a schedule and I will be posting regular again!

Hope you've all had a fabulous weekend!

17 Wild Metallics Cream Eyeshadow in Wild Nude - Review

Hey guys! Just a quick review on a new product I've been trying out recently that's been requested :-) 

I'm actually in the middle about this product. It can be purchased from Boots for £3.99, which I think is reasonable for what the product is. The colour is really beautiful though. I haven't tried any of the other shades out, but they come in silver, purple, blue, green, bronze, and obviously the nude shade I have. I really do love the colour of this particular one though. It's the right balance between a light/nude brown and a greyish colour, and looks very flattering with my blue eyes and pale complexion. You can blend the product well, for a sheer look, or pack more product on for a more "intense" look. It has a very subtle shimmer, which surprisingly I really like, and I find it brightens my eyes instantly.

I don't know if you can tell by the photo's above, but they texture of the product is very "mousse-like", which makes the product easy to blend and gives off a very "smooth" finish.

Swatch of what the product looks like when "packed" on, can be easily blended to create a subtle look too.

I love wearing this cream eye-shadow with a brown pencil eye-liner smudged into my top and bottom lashes. It gives a very messy/grungy, "effortless" make-up look, which I find great for school or if I'm going somewhere and I need to get ready in a rush. It also reminds me of the Olsen twin's make-up, which I'm a big fan of! I also like blending it into my crease with a fluffy blending brush, I usually use one by No.7,  which creates a subtle contour to my eyes, and brightens them. Although, I do find that when applied all over the lid, the product does crease, a lot. Which I guess I don't mind too much, but if you're not a fan, then I definitely do not recommend this product. I've tried setting it with eye-shadow and priming my lids with my favourite primer (urban decay's primer potion) but it still creases very badly. I wouldn't recommend wearing this if you know you're planning on having it on for a long period of time!

All in all, I guess I do like this product and I'm glad I bought it as I find it's quick and easy to use, and I'm glad it's part of my collection :-)

I hope you found this helpful! And if you have any requests leave them below in a comment :-)
