Glamour Magazine & An Amazing Freebie!

Hi there!

The other day I was wondering through Wilkinsons (as you do) and came across their magazine section. It's been a while since I bought any magazines and felt in the mood for a good beauty mag.

Glamour was only £1 at the time - despite the front cover saying £2, you can imagine my excitement at the till, haha! - and it had a free Kate Spade nail vanish worth £11! How can you say no? Well, you can't.

And can I just apologise now for my chipped nail vanish, I can assure you I've now got the lovely Kate Spade on and it looks brill!

Make sure you pick up your December issue!

New Look Jewellery Haul

Hi there!

Can you call something a haul if you've only bought a couple of things? Probably not but I'm going to anyway. I recently went into New Look and spotted these lovely pieces of jewellery, they were only cheap so I just couldn't resist! 

All of the rings were from one 8 pack of rings and I love how they can all match with each other to create loads of different looks. The bracelet has a tie at the back which tightens to the size of your wrist, this is really good for me as I can never find any bracelets that fit my wrist without constantly falling off!

Thanks for reading!

St Moriz Self Tan Review

Hi there!

So winter is on its way in which means the summer tans are on their way out. Fortunately I have picked up some St Moriz Self Tan. I have got the wash off face tan which is the liquid cream and also the instant self tanning mist for my arms.

I absolutely love, love, love the spray version. It gives you such a natural looking tan! You can gradually take it darker by applying another layer or for a super natural look just leave it at one layer.

On the other hand is the face fake tan, don't get me wrong it does do a good job it's just not one of my favorites. I've never tried a face fake tan and maybe it's just my skin tone but the colour just doesn't seem to match properly.

And to make sure an even and non-streak tan is achieved make sure you grab yourself one of these!

Thanks for reading and as always let me know in the comments if you have tried these and tell me what you thought!

Rimmel Haul

Hi there!

I recently bought some Rimmel products, Superdrug have 3 for 2 at the moment on all cosmetics and I thought I would make the most of it. I haven't tried Rimmel before but have heard such good reviews that I just had to try them out.

I will make sure I do reviews on each of the products once I've tried them out a few times too!

Thanks for reading and keep a look out for the reviews!

Stationary Haul and Revision Tips

Hi there!

So it's been absolutely ages since I last posted and I've really missed blogging regularly, I'm going to have to make sure I keep it up more lately! Anyway, I thought I would blog about something today I haven't done before and I know for a lot of people this will not be their type of read but I love reading posts like this so thought I'd give it a go.

Some of you might not know but I am currently in Sixth Form and I'm studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths. I've also recently applied to study Medicine at University so you can probably already guess a lot of my time is spent revising. For some people I know revision is a bit of a bore but there are plenty of ways to make it a bit more bearable.

One way to make revision a bit more enjoyable is to have a good supply of stationary and if I am really honest, I love to go out and buy loads of the stuff! I recently went on a bit of a stationary haul and thought I'd share with you what I bought, some of the below I already had from last year but I thought I would include them anyway as I still use them.

Coloured felt tips, fine line pens and pencils are a great way to make revision posters and flash cards. Using colours makes facts a lot easier to remember! 

These few bits are great unessential additions to your stationary collection. Having new equipment definitely in my opinion makes revision funner and I love all the different revision techniques you can use with these few bits. Sticking sticky notes all over your bedroom wall, making revision flash cards to read just before exams and highlighting any important information.

And finally in my opinion the essential few bits that you need for pretty much all revision. Again though you can make it your own by buying patterned folders and notebooks.

And there you have it, my stationary haul that completed my stationary collection. Now onto some revision tips. I'm sure a lot of you are in school or college or maybe University and revision is something which is important. I personally don't mind revising and the satisfaction of knowing you have done as much as you could have when it comes to the exams is something I enjoy.

Here are some of my top revision tips:

* Pace yourself - make sure you don't spend hours on revision with no breaks, sometimes having a break is just as important as the revision

* Plan your revision - making a revision planner sounds dull but it certainly helps organise what you need to be doing and when

* Vary your revision techniques - unless there is only one technique that works for you then make sure you mix it up a bit. Read and write notes out, do exam questions and make posters and revision cards

* Use the stationary you buy - make use of the little things you buy, like the post it notes, use them in different ways and find the best way that works for you

* Find a good environment to work in - do you prefer music or no music? Silence or background noise? It's important to work in an environment that is best suited for you

* Reward yourself - whether this is regular breaks or having something nice to eat like chocolate and sweets ready for you when you finish. Make sure you have something to look forward to when you have finished

And there you have it, my stationary haul and revision tips. Sorry if this isn't for you! If you have found this useful then please let me know in the comments and if you have any extra revision tips that work for you then I would love to know them!
