Change

Sometimes change makes me sad, friends are lost, people lose contact, health deteriorates. But change makes me happy as well, friends are gained, people start talking again and people regain their health. Change is healthy, if nothing ever changed our lives would be so monotonous, get up everyday, eat cereal, go to school, go home, have a sandwich, do homework, bed. Repeat. Maybe that's why I'm writing this blogpost, I'm bored, school is so predictable. But recently I went to an open day for college and it freaked me out. My life is going to change soon and I'm bloody terrified. I'm excited as well, but mostly terrified. I think it's the choices that I have to make, I don't want to close off any doors for future me, but I don't want to take subjects that make me unhappy.  I've never had to make a choice that could really impact my life before and its rather overwhelming. I know it's inevitable, I'm growing up, but I'm not ready.

What are your thoughts? Do you think schools should have 16 year olds make decisions that will affect the rest of their life? I don't have a beauty post for you this week, but I just wanted to share some thoughts.

The five product face

So, recently I've really been loving laziness, a complete lack of motivation has struck me at an untimely moment. So when I wake up in the morning, the last thing I want to be doing is rubbing a kajillion products on my face, If I can get an extra five minutes in bed I'm going to take it. These five products let me snuggle up in bed for a little longer, and I love them for that!

Concealer - To cover up my under eye bags, I also blend it over my eyelids to bring light to the area. I don't tend to cover up spots for school because everybody has them and you gotta let 'em breathe!

Eyebrow pencil - Without fail, I either use this or The shade faint from my Naked basics palette on an angled brush.

Contour kit - To add a little definition to my face, I tend to go a little crazy with the highlight, but very light with the contour.

Mascara - Lots of mascara, I use waterproof for long days at school.

Eyeliner - For a signature 'Cat flick'

I hope you enjoyed that little post, What does your 'five product face' consist of?

I think I'm going to start doing monthly favourites, yanno monthly. Let's see how this works out, I don't exactly have the most consistent record but I'm going to try my very best pinki swear

My last favourites post was in June, and I've got a lot of new products to show you so lets get cracking!

Face.
I've been absolutely loving the Bourjois waterproof mascara, This is the only mascara that doesn't leave me looking like a panda at the end of the day. It still transfers below my eyes but much less than any other I have ever tried. I love the volume it gives my lashes, and strangely I prefer the lift I get without curling my eyelashes beforehand.

My next favourite is the Sleek contour kit in light. I use both the contour and the highlighter every day and I love them both, they are very pigmented and quite long lasting. As I don't wear foundation on a day to day basis, I can't expect them to last as long as they would if I did. (Did that make sense?!)

In the past week I've been loving the 4th shade in the MUA Undressed Palette, I've just been wearing it all over my lids and have got heaps of compliments! I don't use a primer and it doesn't crease but has faded significantly by the evening. (11-12 hours of wear)

Fashion.
Coincidence or not, all of what I've been loving is from H&M. I love my thin, stipey grey jumper for layering with my lacy floral tank top and my black high waisted jeans - all h&m!

Other.
I've strangely really been loving X factor Team Lauren and strictly Team Jake I never usually like these programmes but this year I'm really into them!
I've really loved twitter this month - shameless self plug follow me Here

That's all for this post! I hope you enjoyed, I'm getting really close to 100 followers on Bloglovin' If you could help me out I would really appreciate it!
