UNIVERSITY | Finding a Balance

Through the ages of high school and college, parents would moan and moan... and moan at you for not doing enough work or even doing none. Though as I've had to find out, university is a whole other ball game. This time round, it's not testing your strength and patience with pesky parents, but your self effort and will power to actually get up before 10am and go to lectures that you're not even registered in. 

Dream Flawless Nude VS Nude Magique

There are no excuses for my extended absence other than... uni? 

I digress. Quickly.

Something I must point out first and foremost is that I hate the feeling of foundation, or just having an unnatural layer caked over the top of my skin. If my complexion decides on being nice that day then concealer all the way, but if needs be then a light mattifying coverage is the way to go (being an oily t-zone sufferer). Hence when L'oreal released their Nude Magique foundation, heaven opened up in the aisles of Boots. However, a host of brands have been releasing their own take on the liquid to powder formula, including more recently, the more budget friendly Maybelline. So a comparison post was deemed to be inevitable.

A Few Autumn Beauty Picks

So my break from blogging was somehow unintentionally extended, but lets just pretend I never left shall we...

As much as I loved summer, I found myself starting to ache for those darker autumnal hues and the opportunity to whack out Rebel or Diva (MAC fiends will relate). So when september finally made an appearance, I got a little too excited about the fact that my staples would soon do a complete 180.

Want Maleficent CheekBones?

If it wasn't astoundingly obvious already, content on here has been a little.. sparse? non existent. Though my first exam is looming in less than a week, this discovery was enough to pull me out of my revision depths and realise my desperate blogging itches. 

I will admit, I'm a complete contour fiend. Anything that claims to work wonders with the hollows makes an automatic dash to the top of my extremely long wish list, but of course this bearing the name 'Sculpt' had me running for the hills...towards the nearest MAC counter. 

Eyeliner 101

Now I did pre-warn on a previous post that content would be sparse in the next two months due to A levels, but a whole week... Is that dust starting to form on here? I couldn't avoid my blogging itches any longer so let us begin with a simple question...

What is a world without eyeliner? Certainly a place with smaller eyes, thats what. Eyeliner has and always will be a not so secret weapon in any girl's make up bag and the variety on offer makes for an endless list of options.
