NEED VS WANT

This post is a little different for me. I've recently realised that this addiction to buying make-up I have probably isn't very healthy. Don't get me wrong I love buying make-up but perhaps I don't need every shade of a lipstick in the range, 1 or 2 is enough. Or that lipstick that I own in the same shade by 4 different brands. Or owning over 10 highlighters and still wanting to buy more...

150 HAPPY THINGS

Things that make me happy...

A SHOPAHOLICS LIFE SAVERS

I feel like this post is needed after my recent splurge on make up the past few months. Obviously I'm a self-diagnosed shopaholic and I really should cut my habit and try to focus on saving. But you're only young once and while I have no bills to pay for, why not treat myself?! These are a few ways I earn rewards when I do make a make up purchase.

NYX SOFT MATTE CREAM

Recently I finally got my hands on some NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream's!! Nobody can understand my excitement right now. After seeing so many YouTuber's and Blogger's rave about them you can understand why I wanted to see what the hype was about! So recently Boots launched the NYX brand onto their website and obviously I had to make an order! I picked up 7 of them and at £5.50 each it was a no brainer!

LA GIRL LIP PAINT

I've been looking to purchase these LA Girl Lip Paints ever since I invested in the Pro Concealers (which I LOVE)! So I was excited for these to arrive at my doorstep. Does anyone else love shopping online and not knowing exactly when your parcel is going to arrive? It's like a little present to yourself to make your day better... No just me? Ok... Confessions of a shopaholic.

AUTUMN EVERYDAY FACE

Hey guys! I've been dying to write a post for so long but I'm still getting my timings sorted with uni! These are the products I've been using daily throughout autumn so far (autumn is my favourite season)!! I recently bought a few new products, like always, and have been putting them to the test this month. Three of these items are new buys (HOURGLASS | LIGHTING BRONZER LUMIOUS BRONZE LIGHT, HOURGLASS | AMBIENT LIGHTING POWDER ETHEREAL LIGHT, BECCA | SHIMMERING SKIN PERFECTOR PRESSED MOONLIGHT) and I have to say, they're worth every penny! Below is a look I created using autumnal colours and all of these products above.

THE HIGHLIGHT EDIT

This is a few of my highlighters from my collection that I think are worth it. Sorry about lack of posts, I started University this week and it's made me busy, busy, busy! I'm not used to it after a few months of doing nothing!! Early starts and late finishes are exhausting me! But anyway back to the highlighters... You may notice that there's a lot of NARS and that's because I went through a phase when it was all I bought! I am now trying to branch out and try other brands! One that I'd love to hit up is Hourglass, I think I'll have to pick up more overtime at work for that though! Being a student on a budget is hard when all you want to buy is high-end makeup!
