Not so much time to blog this week which is a shame. I've been juggling two jobs (not an interesting outfit in sight at either) and yesterday I went to see the Olympic torch relay through my town which was actually such good fun. I've been treating myself to a couple of hair and skin care bits in Boots on my lunch breaks so I'll let you know how I get on with them! I thought I'd do a little picture post today as I haven't in so long and I like a bit of variety! How's your week been so far?

It's been a good weekend this weekend. I got paid on Friday so I was able to treat myself to a couple of things, my best buy being the Real Techniques core collection brushes (at last!!) after my old buffing brush started shedding like something else after a wash. Nothing new to say on them really, they are definitely worth a purchase! Yesterday I spent the day at Wireless and it was really good fun but if it had been nicer weather and I hadn't been rained on during Drake I would probably be raving about it more. Just want to say a quick thank you for all the lovely comments I've been receiving, and especially thank you to those of you who comment on every post, it's so nice to see the same faces over and over again! 

How was your weekend? Does anyone have anything exciting planned for the week ahead?

Current Favourites

Nails: Models Own in Balearic Cool, Hedonist and Ibiza Mix, Lips: Benefit in Lady's Choice and Mac in Creme Cup, Eyes: Both No. 7, Face: Bare Minerals in 'Warmth' and Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

001.I haven't been able to paint my nails for a few weeks because I have a job which is pretty strict against nail varnish but after my shift tonight I will be painting them in one of these. I have hedonist on my toe nails at the minute, I'm just in love with the Hed Kandi collection still!

002.When the sun does pop out for five minutes, I love wearing Creme Cup because it's just so pretty. I find myself wearing Lady's Choice a lot to work because it's really subtle and moisturising but still a beautiful and flattering colour

003.I've always been a bit sceptical about eyelash curlers but I bought these with a No. 7 voucher so only spent about £2 on them and they really do work to open up the eyes and enhance my lashes. Lash adapt is one of my favourite mascaras, if not my absolute favourite. It's so easy to build and create different looks with and it doesn't smudge.

004. I've had this bare minerals bronzer for a long time but always thought the colour looked a bit scary for my pale skin tone. It's actually very subtle and easy to blend, I've been loving experimenting with it. I bought Mac's 'Soft and Gentle' after hearing so much hype about it and wanting a new highlighter. It's a beauty, so pretty and so much product for your money!

The Holiday List

Dip Dye Tee: Topshop £18, Drawstring Skirt: £10, Sandals: Office £25, Grey Tee: Topshop £16, Nail Polish: Models Own £5: Blush: Sleek £10, Floral Trousers: Monki £12, Floral Top: Monki £4.80,

I am aware that it is horrific and raining outside but to me that seems like all the more reason to get excited and prepared for my summer holiday. I haven't had two weeks away since I can remember so I think that definitely deserves a bit of a spend on some holiday items, but with massive deposits and a new passport to be paid for, I definitely can't allow myself to go too crazy. While the weather is uninspiring, the high street is actually full of lovely colours and prints and fabrics and a lot of it is on sale which is brill. I thought I would see if I could find some versatile holiday staples within a £100 budget to give my wardrobe and my makeup bag a bit of a boost for going away. This is what I came up with! Everything pictured comes to £100.80, but with my well loved student card it would be well under the £100 mark which I think is pretty good. Let me know what you think and what you think your holiday staples for £100 would be!

It's been a bit of a weird one this week, working lots of trial shifts and in lots of different places! I started my new job on Friday which was great, my 14 hour day yesterday has left me a little sleepy today though. I went for lunch and shopping with my sister today which was the perfect way to end the week. Next week is more work and wireless festival at the weekend which is exciting! How was your weekend?
