Barry M Haul

Hiya lovelies, 

So recently I've become a tad obsessed with nail polish and buying new nail varnishes. I have to say Barry M is by far my favourite brand due to the packaging and consistency of the product making it easy to evenly coat the nail. Over the past month I've acquired six new nail varnishes and I thought I'd share them with you.

317 Blue Moon

357 Ballerina

358 Vintage Violet

66 Matt White

306 Blueberry Ice Cream

273 Raspberry

Each of the products mentioned are priced at £2.99 in Superdrug and at the time of posting, there is a 3 for 2 deal across all cosmetics in store.

Thank you for reading.

My Evening 'Simple' Skincare Routine

As we all know, your skin is a very important  part of your body. If you have a bad day, your skin usually reflects this in the form of spots or acne. If you eat a particularly unhealthy diet, your skin will look greasy and if you do not regularly clean your face, your pores will become blocked leading to blackheads and what looks like mini volcanic eruptions. Trust me, I've learnt this the hard way. After living off takeaways for almost the entire first month of university and lacking any sort of routine in my life whatsoever, my skin is not looking it's healthiest (to put that nicely). I have now decided that I need to make an effort to look after my skin and my health and I thought I'd start on this journey by sharing my evening skincare routine.

1. The first thing I do when I get in from a busy day, even if I plan to go out on the night is remove my makeup with a Simple cleansing wipe.
2. As eye makeup is usually harder to remove, I then use the eye make up remover (pictured in the middle) on a cotton bud to wipe away any mascara or makeup that is left.
3. I tend to then hop in the shower to feel more refreshed after the day and use the facial wash to clean my face more thoroughly and remove any dirt that may be in my pores. 
4. To finish off, after I have got out the shower, I use a clean cotton pad with the light moisturiser to help my face from becoming dry and for it to become soft (almost like a baby's bottom as they say)

I hope you enjoyed this post. Thank you for reading .

Halloween 2014!

Hiya lovelies,

Once again there has been a humongous gap between me posting different bits and bobs and I apologize yet again for that. As you may or may not know, the Friday just gone was Halloween. Yes, for once I actually made it out the house to celebrate and had a really good night. Me and one of my housemates and best friends Paige dressed up as dead cats (original, I know) and we went a tad bit crazy with the makeup and blood. We went to the student union Halloween party at about 10 pm and then at around 1 am we went and socialized with neighbors in various houses. I don't know if I've previously mentioned it but the accommodation I live in is a square of terraced houses. Bearing in mind I've lived here over a month, Halloween was the first time I'd spoken to half of my neighbors and they are such a friendly bunch.  Here are some photos from my night below and I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for reading this post. I'll try and be back soon with another blog post shortly,

Eleanor Rachel
