You think that just because it's already happened, the
past is finished and unchangeable? Oh no, the past is
cloaked in multi-colored taffeta and every time we look
at it we see a different hue.

$££$

So my loan came in... hello £30 of makeup/necessary cosmetic related stuff. Boots is so expensive compared to Superdrug, but no- I went to Boots first. Gah. Also visited H&M for an essential breton tee, and replaced my old faithfuls, the nude Topshop ballet pumps. Still have £20 worth of John Lewis vouchers kicking around, but that's on next week's retail agenda. I'm due my bursary from Uni, so may have to raid Topshop, I had to leave an amazing sequin tee behind today, still £20 in the sale, and that's not worth it for non-existant fabric and about 10 thousand gold sequins, sadly. They have some yummy new stuff though, isn't that always the way?? I now have to weigh up the situation- do I want food or Topshop more? Hmm. Tricky.

This combination of tea, chocolate and technology by my bed makes me very happy


Powder brush, two wonderful eye pallets

Earrings- Primark. Perfectly starry

It ain't Mulberry, but its amazing what £20 worth of Next vouchers can buy....

Face off.

I use most of this everyday

m.a.c eyelash curlers- best ever.

£2 face powder sample from ebay- great product!

lippy

better than studio fix- it really is lightweight

vintage compact



last 3 shots- experimenting with the flash/ b&w setting
I thought I'd share some of my makeup collection, and there's loads more, my makeup bag is a fat one. I use most of the things in the group shot everyday, except the powder and red lipstick- I prefer the lip stain to the left of it (above). The Chanel powder was a really cheap unused sample from ebay, despite being small it lasts for ages, and it doesn't have a name on the bottom so I can't get any more :( I will be investing in some new makeup on Sunday, more mascara, eye liner and maybe some more eyeshadow- I don't own enough of that. I might get some translucent powder too, plus a decent powder brush- one of the huge fluffy ones, I love them! They're just so...fluffy! Anyway, I need to try and sleep, although I am so nervous for tomorrow, I've only practiced reading through my presentation once, might inflict the boy with it again before bed, poor thing.

eeep

I have to talk about my dissertation tomorrow in front of 8 people for 15 minutes. Scary. And I've only just started writing my presentation. Oh dear. I really hope everyone doesn't think what I'm talking about is boring or rubbish, I want tomorrow to be OVER. On the plus side, my loan's in! While I can't go mental with it, I may nip into Topshop etc and see if there's anything good. £20 of John Lewis vouchers may help me along too. Roll on Sunday!

Visualise.

















Pictures of my itunes visualiser. I love how each image is unique. The flash seems to pick up all the finger marks on my poor mac's screen, so it's not a cool effect- it's just dirt. After writing 500 tedious words I decided to upload these as a treat. Procrastination at its best.

Two. Zero. One. One.

You may be glad to know that I am not going to go all emo on here today. My life is not over, I just have to actually work, although I'm on here...hmmm. When all the work is in I will feel loads better, get some sleep, and have a bit of relaxation time with some tea. Went to the pub last night with some lovely people, one of whom was wearing some demonic wolf earrings (see, told you I'd type that Coopy), while I didn't get a picture of them I did manage to document just how many lime and lemonade/soda's we consumed haaaa. Refreshing. I've put them together with some pics from New Year and some other randoms- nearly all in Hipstamatic format. Yes, I know I'm obsessed but it's amazingggggg!! Anyway, I need to stop procrastinating and actually type something useful or I shall fail. Although if I direct my tutor to here and show them the effort I put into my blog maybe I will get TOP MARKS. Maybe? No? Thought not. Oh well, enjoy....

New Year. We got ready in a shop haha.

Back to Uni on Sunday. Back to the library, deadlines, money issues. But... back to the boy! YES! Who sent me Agent Provocateur today. LOVE.
