Little Geordie Lass

So my usual blog posting schedule has kinda stopped working for me now considering that I have gone back to university. I feel like this post is going to be me ranting more than anything, and I just feel like talking now rather than uploading at a set time. A month is a long time, and alot of stuff has happened since I returned from New York. The day after returning I unpacked my case to repack it with all my uni stuff to head back the following day, I threw myself into volunteering Freshers' Week, got to see all my friends again and was introduced to my new MA course. So why was I so unhappy?

Earlier this year, i went on Part 1 of my American Adventure to Florida with my boyfriend, only a few months later Part 2 with my family for my 21st birthday came around so quickly! So here we go, here is my trip to the Big Apple, New York City...

For my 21st Birthday I had the pleasure of being taken to New York City. My brother got a surprise birthday present for his 21st which was a holiday to Dubai, but I already knew about my 'surprise' holiday considering that I had been planning my New York trip since I was 16. The one thing I still hadn't agreed on what what theatre production to see; as a drama graduate and musical theatre lover it was a given that I would have to go and see a Broadway musical. If I had it my way, I would have seen a different musical every night I was in NYC, but that couldn't happen; my parents did want to have a surprise for me though. So on a nice sunny afternoon after visiting the Statue of Liberty, I was told that the following night that I would be going to see School of Rock at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway (SQUEAL!!).

As you may know, last year my obsession with MAC lipsticks began, and over the past year... well you can say it has got a little bit out of hand. I did this same post last year with 6 lipsticks, and now just over 1 year later I DIYed a lipstick holder suitable for 28 lipsticks and I have almost filled it up... so I thought that it was only right that I did an updated MAC Lipstick Collection. I do have a couple more lipsticks that aren't in the holder which I have included in this list, but I haven't included my Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Oh, Lady'. I like to keep all my MAC lipsticks together on display in my DIY; the box is from a Ted Baker gift set I got for Christmas and I just made my own seperators and poped them inside the box... I think it looks good.
