Little Geordie Lass

If some of you know me quite well, you will know that I turned 20 on Tuesday. To be honest, I've had better birthdays- it was the first year that I have ever worked on my birthday and had Birthday plans orientated around my job which sucked a little bit, and with me working very long shifts I was far too tired to actually enjoy the day itself. Nevertheless I did get spoilt. So because I still don't really feel 20 yet I thought I would do this little personal post which would make me think about exactly what I want in this next decade of my life where I'm no longer a teenager and have abit of growing up to do...

For years now, I have a Sunday night routine which involves me painting my nails, and I thought why not do a mini review on the nail varnish I've chosen each week.  So the first nail varnish I have decided to choose wasn't something I decided to apply last night... Last Sunday I applied a different nail varnish and I was so dissapointed in it that it was off by Tuseday and replaced by this one. I never normally skip my Sunday night routine but last night I felt I could, as this nail varnish was just as good as when I applied it almost a week ago.  Now, you're probably wondering what this little beauty is... Something that hasn't chipped or come off within 5 days of applying and still has the same finish and hasn't weakened my nails. Well Kiko Milano has alot to answer for .   

So when I decided to go to university, one of the things that had a bigger impact than I thought would be living in rented student accommodation. I live close enough to the university to be commuting from home however I really wanted the "full university experience" by living in halls in my first year. I nearly ended up living in halls for my second year until a course mate asked me if I wanted to live in a shared house with her and a few other people, which is what I did and now going into my third year I decided to live with my boyfriend. Now the transition from living in halls to private accommodation wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, the main difference most people have is that you have to pay for your own bills and do the research into bill providers yourselves.

I think I have a problem... 6 months ago I had never even bought a MAC product; my mam always said to me "you can buy expensive make up when you're older". Well last Christmas I finally convinced my mam to buy me my first MAC lipstick and since that purchase they have become my new obsession. Now I personally would never go out and buy a MAC lipstick as an impulse buy; I like to do a it of research before I buy a product so expensive. I own 6 MAC lipsticks which may not be a lot to some but considering I never owned any before last Christmas I would say that it's a lot in a short space of time.

Day 1 4:15am Ugh... I'm not a morning person, I rarely see this time of the morning and I was fairly surprised at how bright the sky was. But it only got me excited and feeling more awake to have my summer holiday in Spain with my boyfriend! After deciding not to buy each other Christmas presents last year, we decided to put all our money towards a summer holiday so Merry Christmas! 5am Jack and his dad came to pick me up and take us to the airport. After a quick check in and swiftly making our way through security it gave me plenty of time to drag jack around duty free looking at all the makeup before we got breakfast. 7:45am Take off! Bye bye Newcastle! The 2 hour 40minute journey didn't take long at all thanks to Don't Tell The Bride.

AHHHHH!!! In 2 days I will be in sunny Spain! But I've still got to do the dreaded chore that always comes before getting on the plane to soak up the sunshine... Packing. Yes we all hate it, but its gotta be done. Every year I always end up writing lists of things I need to take, making sure I don't forget anything and frantically worrying that I've always forgotten something. So I thought I would make a list (because I love them so much) and put it on here and share with you what I like to take with me on my holiday. ESSENTIALS . The must haves before you even think about stepping foot onto the plane Passport Flight Information Boarding pass (if you do online check in) Travel insurance EHIC Card Foreign currency Phone and charger Travel adaptor Glasses ( if required )

 I bought these quite a while back and have never got around to reviewing them until now... So this purchase came about because my Real Techniques stippling brush broke- I know, gutted! So when my mam advised me to try and look for a new brand incase a new one would break again, I decided to look into Nanshy as I had heard good things about their brushes from Youtubers such as TheMaddieBruce, JustJodes and NatashaSummer. But when I went on the website I thought to myself "why buy one brush for £8 when I can buy 13 for £35" and then this happened...
