Sunday Update #3

(From right to left)
1+2. My cold is still raging through my body in the form of a gross cough, So this week yucky medicine and plenty of vitamin C is what has been needed to get me back to full strength.
3+6. Thursday was my nephews 9th Birthday so we celebrated with a mini party at my sisters house. I would also like to add that at the age of 20 I would still LOVE a Spongebob cake...even though I hate the icing.
4. I definitely should have taken this picture before i mixed the chilli with the rice because the picture looks gross ha ha. but It was lovely chilli anyway! coming home to mummy dearest's cooking is the best.
5. The usual picture of harry the dog.
7. The usual picture of Mr.Muffins
8. Another mummy's cooking treat. Spaghetti Bolognese (my favourite). Though we ran out of spaghetti so had to use tagliatelle.

Collection 2000 Cream Puff


I bought this lip cream ages ago from Collection2000 originally the appeal was the price. I'm always looking for lipsticks but I'm really fussy. I normally go for nude colours or really light pinks. It's been so long since I bought this I cant remember the price but I have the feeling it was around the £3 mark(which for a very poor student was a big plus).

 The biggest appeal of this product is that it dries. I hate the feeling of sticky or even glossy lips. This colours dries and stays on really well (unless you're drinking a lot then you will need it by your side for a top up). I chose the colour 'Fairy Cake 3' It's a bit brighter than the colours I would usually go for but I am trying to break that habit as I would like some nice colours for nights out. Oh and also this product smells amazing! it really does smell like cake!

Golden Girl


Today I decided to treat myself to a copy of Cosmo. I always experience inner turmoil when it comes to buying a magazine that costs as much as Cosmo. But the fact that this months edition came with nail polish made it easy to decide!! the possible colours were pink, orange and yellow, so i searched for a magazine with the yellow polish. I have a few Missguided Nail polishes, all from previous editions of Cosmo and they are always good quality. I was disappointed when I saw that this polish was sparkly i was a bit disappointed as I do prefer matte colours...but after trying it out I decided I liked it. The colour is a lot more yellow in real life, it looks really gold in the picture :/

Sunday Update #2


Seeing as the Sunday update is a new post I have been thinking of different ways to present it, So as all I have done this week is mope about the house with a cold I thought I would just include the pictures I have taken! Also I don't think my blog has been showing up on some peoples GFC list...if it has been showing up please let me know :) Hope everyone had a better week than I did!

When you were young


 I have finally decided to show off my new earrings from Miss Selfridge! I can't remember how much they were exactly (£3-£4) but I do remember I thought it was a pretty good deal. I did also buy a double finger ring with a gold cross like these on it but I have no idea where it has gone (waaa!) hopefully I is somewhere hidden in the old floordrobe!! 

Anywhoozles! I must go and pick up my niece and nephew from school so enjoy my face with my lovely earrings!

Peppermint Stripes




This is my first attempt at any kind of nail art. If I paint my nails it’s normally just one colour, nothing special. But seeing as I have been ill for a few days and haven’t wanted to take any pictures I decided I would try something simple with my nails.

I have wanted some white nail polish for a while but still haven’t been into town to get any, so I found this white polish from an old manicure set. It worked pretty well but just in case, does anybody know of a good brand that does a nice white polish?

Button moon is one of my favourite Collection 2000 Hot Looks colours so I wear it a lot. I love the minty colour and I thought pairing it with the white would look nice. Reminds me of a pair of shorts I must get when I get some money (though there may be no point with the weather we are having here in England!).

Sunday Update #1


So if you have been with me for a while (first of all thankyou!) you will remember I used to post a ‘My week in pictures’ every Sunday...until my iphone broke(waaaa). As I’m trying to get back into my blogging routine I have decided to do a little Sunday update until I get my new iphone for my birthday in November (double waaaaaaa). So just a short one for this week J

                                                    
The other day I decided to introduce Mr Muffins the hamster (also known as Moomin) to Harry the dog. Harry was terrified of the moving hamsterm ball and ran away, but as my mum kept telling him to ‘get it’ he got a bit too excited and I had to put poor Moo away in fear for her life. I also spent Saturday night curled up on the sofa with my duvet and my Harry. His little tongue pokes out when he sleeps! SO CUTE!
