What's On My Bathroom Shelf?

What's On My Bathroom Shelf

I really want to do a university room tour but am not 100% happy with it yet as it is brand new and I am still figuring where I want things to be. But the space that I am happy with is my bathroom, its a simple wet room but just above the sink is a shelf full of my beauty goodies. 

The Essentials
One the left hand side we have the items that everyone has in their bathroom. Deodorant something I am very fussy about, it has to work and it has to smell nice too and Dove never disappoint. Fun fact i came to university with 3 bottles so that I am prepared. Toothpaste and a toothbrush for cleaning my teeth of course, aquafresh is the best toothpaste out there for an everyday basis in my opinion. The last essential I have kept in my bathroom is a body mist, these act as a air fresher for me as well as the spray that I apply after drying myself off in a bid to keep me smelling nice all day. I apply body butter outside of the shower hence why it isn't shown here.

Skincare
The neat freak inside of me has decided to keep everything in the order that I use it and the process starts with the Garnier Micellar Water to remove all my make-up with the tiniest cotton pads in history, The I apply something I picked up in Dubai but is also available on Ebay it's the Baja No Marks cream, this is meant to help with the reduction of marks left after acne and even out the colour. I use it every night after cleansing and it really calms my skin down and helps with the marks. On alternate nights I use the Skin Therapy Oil from Palmers which restores the moisture back into my skin and smells amazing. In the red pot are my retainers, which look right at me so I know that I have to wear them. Lastly, is spot treatments. Both are completely different as I use them at different times of the spot procedure. Sudocrem works best on my skin when a spot is out, red and sometimes painful - it dries it out and assures me that I won't be concious about it all day. Then there is Panoxyl which is a lot stronger and great to get those under the skin spots and anything that is creeping up, but not quite there yet. Together these create a recipe for disaster so I don't apply them all at once otherwise my skin would be on fire.

There's what is on my self, very simple but all things that I need either in the morning or the night. Having them in one place and at reach is great when you are half asleep on a night. What's on your 'bathroom shelf'? 
 

Accidental Makeup Revolution Haul


Makeup Revolution Haul


I went on the Makeup Revolution website and next thing I know a few products were added into my basket and then an email came to me saying' Thank you for placing your order'. I have been eyeing up some things from them quite a lot recently, mainly after their new lines were added so I went for it! And know my local superdrug back home stocks MR! More for me...


£14,99
This was the first thing to go into my basket. MR have recently launched a new range of makeup brushes and I have just splurged on some others so had to keep this spend short and sweet. I went with this set as for the price I thought it was amazing. The brushes are tiny compared to my others so I am hoping they work well. And it came with a sponge, and my real techniques one is coming to an end :(
(I bought it separately, but now it is part of a set)
This reminds me of the beauty blender and I am wanting to get one to do a comparison for you all and see what is it like. Its a lovely little sponge and I can't wait to use it. Will report back as soon as! 
New-trals vs Neutrals Palette
£6.99
How beautiful is this palette!!!! As soon as it arrived it just screamed autumn to me and I can't wait to get out of my comfort zone a little bit and use the daring shades. The top row is what I am most excited to use.
Pro Fix Oil Control Fixing Spray 
£5.00
The most exciting purchase of them all, I have to say and one that I can already give my opinion on. I love the idea of setting sprays, they seem to make other peoples makeup last very long and I always wonder if it would do the same for my makeup but which one to get is the question. When I saw this retailing for just £5 I just had to get it. Boy am I glad I did. This spray has kept so much of my makeup in place, controls oil in my tzone and you can't feel it! I have a full review coming up very soon!

Have you tried anything from MR recently?!
 

Home Away From Home

Since moving out to university, I have realised that having my own little space can sometimes get a bit boring. At home you have everything you need and for me I was in the same bedroom for years so everything had its own place. Whereas now I have two rooms that I live between and struggle to decided what to have where. I want to do a full university room tour one day but the problem is that most of it is boring! So in today's post I am sharing with you some little things I do to make my room feel like home.

I absolutely love my hot drinks, whether this be coffee, hot chocolate or even a good old cup of tea. On my top shelf I keep a stash of emergency hot beverages. In the Tea container I have tea bags, hot chocolate sachets and my new favourite thing mint mocha (its so good!). Then I have a sugar canister which hardly gets touched but I just have to have it. Both the containers are from Quality Save and I adore them. The print is very vintage and gorgeous.

Also on the top shelf I have a few things close to my heart. One of them been a Cinderella snow globe, she is my favourite princess out of all of them and I love just having her in my room with me. Then I have this little plaque with a motivational quote on, it gives me something to smile at every time I see it. Finally, I have the only photo in my entire room. I really need to get some more printed off, but this is of my family and who doesn't love a good old selfie. Plus the frame is glittery and I love anything glitter. On the notice board above my desk I have a few printed out quotes. I think having little saying that are motivational/inspirational are a great pick me up. Find them on pinterest and print them out, no need to buy any fancy ones. 
These little quotes are what really makes my room feel more welcoming, they are all bright and in your face. When you start looking for universities to go, it is always important to look at the Student Accommodation that is available. You want to have something that is cosy and manageable, where I am everything is on campus, which makes my life easier and the halls aren't that bad. It isn't always this easy so then why not live off campus? When I was looking at Northumbria University I didn't like the halls and started looking for off campus spaces. Letslivehere offer some great accommodation in the Newcastle area, so well worth considering living out of the university complex.

My favourite part of my entire room has to be the little make-up station thing I have going on. I have a pinterest print stuck on the wall and then a mini acrylic organiser. As you can see it is heaving with things and that is because of my lip product addiction - there just isn't enough room to put them all somewhere. Then I have a Ikea plant pot that stores all my brushes in, the white fits with the whole room and completes it. 

There's a little sneak peek at my room! There are so many things I still want to do with it, add some fairy lights above my bed, print out more photos and de clutter. Currently I have lots of things everywhere and it really needs sorting out!

What I've Been Loving - Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops

Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops

Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops

The Bourjois Instant Dry Nail Drops do exactly what it says on the tin to put it across simply. The nail drops are designed to be used after you have applied your polish and your top coat to speed up the nail drying process. 

You use the pipette to apply the tiniest amount of this best described as 'oil' to your nails. Best applied to the center of your nails and then it spreads out to cover the whole thing. You then leave it for around a minute and then voila your nails are dry. I find that rubbing the 'oil' in works the best and nourishes your cuticles at the same time. 

This is just one of the many things from Bourjois that makes painting nails fun and exciting! If you have no patience to wait for your nails to dry then try these nail drops and you will wish you'd discovered them earlier!
