June Favourites

From going on holiday and wanting to try out new things, I actually came up with some favourites this month, I never do favourites posts simply because I like to use the same regime, if it works don't fix it. But anyways I did try new things this month and these are the ones I loved.

♥Maybelline FITme! foundation.♥

When I went on holiday I brought two different shades of foundation, my usual and a darker one for when my skin tanned, the only problem was, I became darker than the darkest shade of that collection so when I came home I went to buy a new foundation and this foundation came in the shade I needed. it's so easily blended and although it's not advertised for it, it lasts all day. The only problem I have with it is that it's not a matte foundation but other than that it's perfect!

♥LUSH 9 TO 5 cleansing lotion♥

This stuff is AMAZING! I use it every morning and night and it has really payed off, my skin looks and feels brilliant since I've been using it and I plan to keep on doing so, I highly recommend this product.

♥Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner♥

I use this every time I go on holiday I use this but I only tend to use it then because of the smell because I love the smell of coconut but lately I have been using it at home and man does it make my hair feel fabulous like wow. I am so so in love with this.

♥REVLON colorburst lip pencil- complex♥

I didn't actually buy this, I was given it by a friend who works at superdrug, she didn't like it because it smells kind of minty. But I love this, not just the quality of it but I really do love the colour.

♥Barbara Daly Highlighter♥

I've only just started using highlighter in the past couple of months and I've tried out quite a few to see if it was for me. I decided that this one was my favourite, I like how it goes on to your face like a cream and the way it looks really impressed me.

♥MAKEUP REVOLUTION F104 Brush♥

I am one with a huge love for makeup brushes, especially fluffy ones. I have nothing else to say but LOOOVVVEEE.

Summer Skincare Products

It's been a while since I've posted any skincare product recommendations so as it's summertime I thought it would be a great time to show you what I use for my skin on a day to day basis. Some may agree that the amount of products I use is a lot but I have to admit, my skin has never been so clear and in such good condition. So here's a lost of things I am loving for my skin right now.

♥L'oreal Paris skin perfection micellar water.
♥E45 moisturising lotion. I have found it so difficult to get a moisturiser that is actually any good for my skin and this has proven to be amazing for me.
♥LUSH 9 to 5 cleansing lotion.
♥LUSH tea tree toner water.
♥E.L.F Zit Zapper.
♥Sudocrem.
♥BOTANICS Night cream.

Favourite Summer Lip Shades

I am not one to wear make up all day everyday but I do love to go out on summer nights and I am one of those girls who cant just wear some elements of make up, I have to do everything. It's all or nothing with me. I have quite plumped lips and I do enjoy using lip products, especially MUA as you will find out in a second. So I picked seven shades (which was so difficult seeing as I have so may lip products) as  my summer favourites. 

 Left-Right

♥#1 Olay Lip Stain - Blackberry

♥#3 Maybelline Color Drama - Intense Velvet

♥#4 MUA PowerPout Glaze - Rapture

♥#5 MUA Glaze - Persian Plum

♥#7 MUA - Pouty Pink

Worries Don't Stop At Exams

♥ So over the past few months I have been nonstop revising and doing my A-levels, this took up basically all of my time which means I had not much time to do other things such as worry about results day never mind university. Once my Exams had finished, I was excited not only because of them being over but also because the next week I was flying off to sunny Menorca with my friends as part of a celebration and a sort of last goodbye, so obviously I was excited for this and having to pack, deciding what to bring and constantly telling myself not to forget my passport took up the time I had to think about the future.

 Now that I'm home it's finally hit me, either I've done well and I'm going or I haven't done to good and I have to make alternative arrangements. Personally, I find this a very scary process, actually I'm petrified, the idea of having to stay here and look at the disappointment in people's eyes when I tell them I haven't gotten into university is beyond heartbreaking, knowing that I've worked so hard to get to where I want to be and then have it all taken away by one sheet of letters.

Although, it could go the other way, being that I get the grades I need and I go, this would obviously be the perfect outcome for me and knowing that it's just a few weeks away until I know just about how my life will pan out and whether success is on the cards or not. These next few weeks are going to be a killer, a problem I seem to have like many others, is over thinking. When I'm keeping myself busy it's not that bad, the thought of results day is in the back of my mind and I can get on with my day. However, it's when I go to bed, this is the time my mind works on overload, the thoughts of either getting in or not take over, sometimes reducing me to tears, it's weird how that works, once you're tired, your brain works faster and thinks more than it would when you’re going about your day.

Not only am I constantly thinking and worrying about results day, but also uni life itself, I’m moving hours away by myself, I’m one of those people who hate to be without my family, I get so homesick. This really makes me wonder why I chose universities so far away; I really wish I chose some closer to home. Although I’m really good with people and I’m easy to get on with I find it hard to push myself into certain situations and living with and around complete strangers is one of those situations. I’m scared.

Sometimes, probably like so many people in the same situation as myself, I just wish I could speed up time or travel to the future just so I can know whether to keep my hopes up or not, I hate not knowing, I'm so impatient. One thing I do need to remember is that I'm not the only one going through this, there are thousands of people in my situation and those thousands too have to wait to know their fate.

This does however come with it's advantages, it's good to know I'm not alone in this, so many people will have the same thoughts as I do and although it's hard, I need to be patient just like everyone else. The time will come eventually.

I hope this helped anyone with the same thoughts as me, anyone going though the same mind torture. Only a few more weeks, that's all.
