Sunday Weekly Update #3

1) I know today is Monday and I was supposed to post this on Sunday, but I spent the majority of Sunday melting in a car . . . Can someone please share with me, why mother nature decide to bless the UK with a heatwave, the day I needed to move my things out of my Leicester flat! Mother Nature, this is just not acceptable!!!

2) Many of you might have noticed I'm using a graduation theme picture for this weeks post and that is because I got my grades back and I'm proud to announce I'M GRADUATING WITH A 2:1. I'm very shocked but proud of myself and the moment

3) Sunday marked the last day of the Selfridge sale, and the last day of continuous retail work for me *yaaaaaay*. My brief fling with being a retail sales assistant, just reinforced how much I hate working in retail looool and I hopefully won't have to do it again for a while

Sunday Weekly Potrait #2

1) I've been soooo busy at work this week that I've barely done anything at all, which is a nuisance as I actually had things I planned do this week. *sigh* Oh well I must work with the time I have now, especially as my house is going to be full to the brim this weekend with relatives *eeiikk*

2) Since I've been working in Selfridge all week, I thought I'd take advantage of their Make up counters during my breaks *rubs palms in glee*. I headed first to the NARS counter to play with their illuminators and try out their foundation, as I've read sooooo many reviews on it but I've never had the chance to try it and . . . . me thinks I like it.

3) I also tried the YSL highlighter pen in my shade (I think it was a 6 or a 7). All I know is I NEED that pen in my life and I'm adding it to the TOP of my July wish-list.

4) I don't know if I've mentioned this yet but I'm in the process of moving all my things from Leicester back to London and redecorating my little sister's room to move into it ( as her room is bigger than my old room and she's at uni right now so doesn't need it). I've realised that I really hate manual labour and I should have paid someone to do all this moving for me . . .I mean I now have bruises, where no bruises used to be!!!

I'm trying something new . . . Sunday Weekly Potrait #1

1) I was online recently, just scrolling through my blog subscriptions (General Friday night activities - I'm blogging while my mum is at the cinema *typical*) when I came across Llymrs's blog and her Sunday Weekly Potrait and it just inspired me like  . . . POOOOW!!! I really loved the idea because it gives an insight into a blogger's life and I thought my readers would appreciate it so here it is, my first sunday weekly potrait

2) I've been back in London for almost a week now, and I honestly forgot just how hectic this place is! I've been to blogging events, birthday parties, been stared at on the tube etc lool and I just LOVE it, here's hoping I don't burn out soon

3) I took a proactive decision and decided to contact a few pr agencies and ask them to put me on their mailing lists loool It took me ages to do it because I am so scared of getting rejected loool but I got a few replys so YAAAY ME!!

4) In case you don't know there's a weekly blogging chat that happens every Sunday Night on twitter (#bbloggers) and I love just getting involved with all the other UK beauty bloggers and getting all these tips and advice. Last week, the topic was on photography tips. (Overview at MakeupSaavy) and I decided to take onboard some of these tips and created my own little photo studio with two desk lamp and an a0 printed sheet loool. It might seem a bit weird but the results are great.
