Putting Your Best Face Forward

As I am like a fly to a flame when it comes to new makeup on the market, I felt obliged to purchase the Bourjois Radience Healthy Mix Foundation and I wasn't left disappointed. As I have dry and very slightly combination skin I wanted something that gave me a glow and wasn't too heavy or visible on my face. To accompany my lovely new foundation I needed a new brush. I have had my eye on the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush for a while now and when payday came *yay* an investment was made. It makes my foundation go on flawlessly and makes my skin look airbrushed (just what I need).

Heres the face. 

P.S. The cheekbones are provided by Fimstar Bronze & Glow- Charlotte Tilbury.

New Cath Kidston Makeup Bag

Bonjour! My very long suffering makeup bag died recently *sob* and so I was in search of a new one.  This happened as I was waltzing passed the Cath Kidston shop in Portobello road and I couldn't resist a sneak peak! I was like a child in a sweet shop, so some serious concentration was needed to just look for makeup bags.
As my obsession for bulk buying makeup has come a little out of control I needed a much larger bag. I went for something to keep all my facial enhancements nice and organised as I am usually very unorganised!

Isn't it so pretty? I will talk about the contents in an upcoming post.

Bad Blogger!

Hello! I am currently updating my blog because I have been very bad and not blogged in like a year! *slap of the wrist*. In the meantime I have been in France for a year, in the most fantabulous place called Morzine, ( please everyone go). I learnt to ski (yay!) and got promoted to a manager. I'm now back in currently sunny London on the elusive job hunt where I am actually telling employers that I WILL WORK for free! Crazy right?! SO all wish me luck and I promise to blog regularly.

Love Charl

Long Time, No Blog

Hi everyone, sorry that I haven't blogged recently. Since my last blog, I have graduated....Yay! a 2.1 may I add, something which I never thought I could have achieved.

The main reason why I have resurfaced is to document my post uni gap year, (gap yaaahh daaaarlin'!)....and I'm doing a ski season. The main issue that I have faced myself with is that I have never skied/ seen snow out of England! So if I don't like it I'm screwed!

So you lovely people will get regular updates of my progress from novice to pro skier (I wish).

Love Charl

Living the Dream

Going out 5 nights in one week after exhausting yourself during dissertation, exams and revision is not ideal! Why do we do it? All out bodies want to do is sleep, rest and chill, but all we want to do is get obliterated on VERY cheap alcohol.

To finish off this crazy week, I went The Leeds Summer Ball, which was lovely, however it would have been even nicer if the heavens hadn't opened, making us all look like drowned rats. (Pretty drowned rats, I may add). 

So today I am nursing the mother of all 5 hangover, now thinking this is probably my first 5 day hangover. So in my deluded state I made lasagne for 7, don't ask! And resided back to bed at the ripe time of 1.15 pm....and here I still sit writing to all you lovely people, I feel a little needy today and want some sympathy!

Here is me before the alcohol looking quite respectable. 

And here is me afterwards....not looking as respectable!

An End to an End

The last 3 years of my life has finally come to an end....very sad times. I have now suddenly gone from a student to an unemployed alcoholic....good start to life!

Since last Friday I have drunk everyday, (my liver now hates me). All the time in the world to do everything so I have been filling my time with rather random activities, sunbathing, drinking (of course), went to the Ikley lido and Harrogate.

Here are some piccies

Spring is springing

Hello all! Sorry for disappearing recently, Iv become a social recluse while I attempt to write the largest piece work of my life! It's slowly killing me!

March has hit with it all the lovely things that it brings, flowers, lambs and of course my birthday!

Well this morning in my slightly drunken state I took a lovely picture of spring in Leeds.
