Hanging my Head in Shame...

I'm Sorry...! :(

I just wanted to update you all on where I've been and why I have been neglecting my blog (as well as pretty much every other social media platform I'm using...)

Favourite Products of 2012!

Hi everyone!

So I know I have been totally MIA and haven't posted anything in over a month but I've been so busy with uni work! This post is a complete list of every product that I LOVED using in 2012, and what better time to post it than at the beginning of a new year!

Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel

Hi everyone!

So this post is about a product that I purchased about a week ago, but I like it so much that I already feel the need to write a review about it!!

The Origins Super Spot Remover Blemish Treatment Gel is literally "SUPER"! I had a breakout across my chin due to the fact that I'd decided to try out a new primer... and it was THE WORST! (Review coming up later...!) The spots were literally all around my chin and they were the type that stay under the skin for ages! PLUS they showed no signs of disappearing even after 2 weeks!!

Random "ABOUT ME" Tag!

So this is a totally different post, but it's my first ever tag and I got excited and decided to post it anyway!
Enjoy!

Exciting Opportunity!!

Hi everyone!

So I received some news a few months ago that a close friend of mine is getting married (SOO happy for her!) and she was freaking out about all the preparations she had to do etc etc etc. Anyway, she asked if I could do the makeup for her and her bridesmaids! Now, I immediately said YES!!! and went into crazy planning organization mode; writing lists of things that I needed to do and get and different eye looks and lip combinations that would work for her wedding! I literally made so many lists of makeup I needed, equipment, tools, accessories... even though the wedding isn't until 2013! (When I get excited about something that I really want, I will drop everything that I'm doing and focus completely on that one thing! Is that weird? Crazy? Maybe. But that's just me, I guess!

So one of the first things that I needed to do was to sort out my MAC eyeshadows and put them into my palettes, which I bought so long ago, but I haven't gotten round to actually depotting my shadows yet! I decided to start with a simple, neutral palette; using different shades of beiges and browns, and, of course, including a black or two! I still haven't had chance to do this, as I've been SO busy with uni and looking for a job that is related to my degree in some way (no luck yet, btw!!) but as soon as I've done them, I will post pictures to show you what they look like!

Other things on my list included getting more tools (sponges/mascara wands etc) and makeup brushes (a complete set) which would NOT be for my own personal use. I wanted a specific set of brushes that I could have dedicated to using on other people (I kind of want to turn this makeup thing into a mini "job/career"... I'm not sure if that's the right word for it, but I wanted to be like an "on-call" makeup/beauty person, where I would go and do people's makeup for special events if they asked me). I guess I want it as a fall-back, insurance plan in case my Architecture dream didn't work out! (Two VERY different areas, I know!)

Now the final and kinda MAIN thing that I need/want to get is one of the professional trolley makeup cases! I saw a few on Amazon and there is one that I have in mind! But I think I will purchase it nearer the time of my friend's wedding, when I will have nearly everything else that I need!!

Just thinking about the opportunity is making me excited all over again! (Honestly, I forgot about it for the past few weeks; I've had a lot on my mind recently...)

First (actual) post!

Ok, so I've had this blog for a while now, but I never really posted anything on here. Why? Because of MAJOR technical problems!! I had a whole bunch of posts saved as drafts... then one day I tried to log on to my account and EVERYTHING was deleted!! Even my Gmail account...! (don't ask me how/why/what happened... because I have no idea!) I emailed the kind people at Google and explained my situation and within 24 hours, everything was back... Except my drafted blog posts!! (Only one was rescued though, the Sigma Beauty one, which is so weird! That one only took a few minutes to write, unlike my others which took AGES!)

Anyway, never mind! I can always start again; no big deal, I guess! :) I just wanted to get back to (or actually, start...) blogging, but I wanted to let you know why there is a HUUUGE gap in the dates between my Sigma ("first") post and this one!

If there is anything in particular you want me to talk about/review etc, please let me know and I will do my best!
