Blogmas - Day Six: My Christmas wish list 2015

Hi guys.  

This weekend has been so busy for me so I haven't had time to do any make up product reviews.  I have however decided to show you what my Christmas wish list is for this year.  It isn't very big and I know I will be buying all these products with my own money at some point but nevertheless, this is my wish list for this Christmas.

1. A woolen Skirt. (I haven't decided where I am buying this from yet so I just chose this style to show what I wanted.

2. ASUS Transformer Book tablet with keyboard.

3. MAC Lipstick in Blankety.

4. MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF15 Foundation

5. Lorac Pro Palette

I don't really want much as being a uni student, I have to budget my money but out of these five products I will be definitely be getting the ASUS tablet and keyboard as I want something that I can carry around with me to uni while still having my laptop but not have the weight and bulk of my laptop.  I will still use my laptop when I am at home but to go to uni, my tablet will go everywhere with me especially since I am trying to keep on top of work and get a first classification on my degree.

What is on your Christmas wish list this year?  

Bye for now.

Blogmas day 21 : My early Christmas present.

A few days before I was due to come home for Christmas, my Nokia died...it wouldn't charge, it wouldn't accept any charging unit...it just died.  I was a bit annoyed.  It was not even six months old.  I took it to get it repaired but knew that I wouldn't trust it.  I decided I wanted a new phone.

On Blogmas day 5, I said I wanted an iPhone and that is what I got.  Unlike the iPhone I put on my wishlist, I got an iPhone 4s and am loving it.  I can do so much with it and I don't think I will ever go back to another phone.

I got the iPhone 4s 8GB in black.  I tend to go for black phones as I think they look sleek and professional and if I wanted a bit of colour, I could get a case for it.

As I am at University, I can use my phone for a lot more.  I can access my timetable easier, I can update my blog on the go, I can view University notifications easily...the list is endless.  My Nokia on the other hand was limited on what I could do.  I am so happy with my purchase.

I only wanted a 8GB as I don't think I needed much more than that.  I paid £199 for my new little purchase and I don't regret getting an older version.    I already have an idea on what case I want for my little iPhone.  I will also do a what's on my iPhone blogpost as soon as I have it the way I want it :D

What phone have you got?  What apps can you recommend?

Bye for now.

Blogmas day 17 : Nail Polish Wants 2015

I don't often wear nail varnish/polish but when I do, I tend to wear nail polish with a slight shimmer as that is what I have found suits my skin tone better however there is a new collection that is due to be released on the 1st of January (or so I have researched,  correct me if I am wrong )  just in time for the highly anticipated (or at least for me anyway) Fifty Shades of Gray Movie and I am dying to get my hands on this collection.

http://www.reallyree.com/2014/11/opi-fifty-shades-of-grey.html#lightbox/0/

The collection has a nice selection of grey colours and a nice red.  There are a few shades that have really caught my eye.  There are six to choose from and if you are an OPI virgin (like me) chances are you will want them all.  Each bottle will retail at £11.95 however they will also be selling a mini collection of the entire set at £14.50.  

Each shade has a name that has some reference to the film/book.  

• My Silk Tie
• Romantically Involved
• Dark Side of the Mood 
• Shine for Me
• Cement the Deal 
• Embrace the Gray 

All shade names correspond to the order in the picture.

The shades I am really excited for are Romantically Involved and My Silk Tie although I will be purchasing the whole collection (whether in full size or mini is still to be decided)  From what I can tell, layering up Shine On Me with a couple of the other nail polishes in the collection will look stunning and it is a slight shame (in my opinion) that they haven't released them sooner as Shine On Me and Romantically Involved could be good Christmas colours.

What Nail Polish collections are you most excited in 2015?

Bye for now.

Blogsmas day 5 : 2015 wish list.

There is a lot of things everyone wants and unless you are rich or have a rich family, chances are you will have to save.  I am one of them.  As a University student, I don't have a lot of money and what money I do get (I get it in sets of three payments) goes on rent for my ridiculously priced University room (that's what you get for going ensuite!), food and University essentials like books and stationary.  I very rarely have money left for the items I want.  That is why I am starting a new series that occurs maybe twice a year depending on how many items I wish I had through out the year but one thing that will be constant will the the wishlist at the end of a year and to kick this off is my 2015 wish list.

1. Pink Nintendo DS 
2. iPhone 5s 
   
3. To start driving lessons
4. To have a brilliant skin care routine with a few high end products
5. To have another tattoo
6. To get my ears pierced (again!!!)
7. To get engaged! (I know, I know I can wish can't I?  I've been with him for over two years so maybe this could be the next step for us)  
8. To pass my first year at University (only time will tell with this one)
9. For me to keep up with this blog (again, only time will tell with this one as well!)
10. For me to have a blog layout I am happy with (will have to find out how to create my own layout)
11. To fine a decent red lip product that suits my skin tone
    
12. To treat my family to some nice things
13. To expand my make-up collection

These are just some of my things on my wishlist for 2015.  Like I said this will be posted at least once a year and maybe periodically throughout the year if I find things that catch my eye.

Bye for now.
