The Birthday Face

 This was a very impromtu post, I didn't think that my birthday would include any going out plans due to being in work all day but in the evening my flat mate and I, ended up going out for some food. So, I took that as an opportunity to doll myself up and look presentable. Its been a while since I've worn a full face of makeup with lashes and everything - it was very exciting! Thank you to everyone who wished me on tuesday, I was so overwhelmed and overjoyed.                                    

Turning 20

Today, the 13th June, I turn 20! So long teenage years and hello 'adult life'. I'm the last in all of my friends to turn this grand old age, feels like a long time coming. I am actually spending my birthday in school, as I am currently on placement. So teaching, like I will be doing (hopefully) for the rest of my life. I've never had a rest on my birthday, for as long as I can remember, its either been during exam season or I've been working/at school. Its not a bad thing, as I never quite know what to do with myself apart from shop and eat. Sounds ideal! 

In celebration of turning 20, here are 20 things you may not know about me/things I have learnt over the years. Claire also tagged me to do the Blue Sky Tag and it has taken me so long to do it, so here are my answers, they are intwetwined within. 

The Pre-Summer Edit

It seems a bit silly doing a post called the pre-summer edit, but at the moment we aren't really in full summer mode. It is still miserable, I have no holidays planned and I am working! So, the aim of this post is to get us all in the mood for the summer and brighten up a gloomy weekend. There is a whole mix of beauty in this post and I tend to go for the same products for a few months and then rotate everything around, expect an actual summer edit in a few months time! 

                                            

                                   

An Ode To Blush

As soon as this time of year comes around, I am addicted to blush. Adding that bit of colour to my cheeks, makes all the difference in the summer. I am still trying to figure out how to wear both blush and bronzer at the same time, I just can't seem to get the balance right - if you have any tips then please let me know! On my skintone, I find that pink blush is the best as it compliments it compared to peach tones one which wash me out.  

       

The I Didn't Mean To Buy It Haul

I worked in Leeds a few days this week and lets just say working around the corner from all the shops is VERY DANGEROUS. I have spent so much of my lunch hour going for a browse, when I really shouldn't have! At the moment the high street/ drugstore brands are killing it, with so many new releases and Superdrug pretty much have every offer going. It is only a small haul but full of things that I am excited to try.

Summer Work Wardrobe

Happy June Everyone! Can you believe we are half way through the year? This is a very exciting month indeed because its someones birthday! Hopefully, this is also the month that we see more of the sun and not just for a few days but most of the month. When the sun is it out, it makes all the difference, people are happier, the day goes by quicker but there is one issue that is a constant battle - the wardrobe. What do you wear to work that isn't going to be too revealing but keep you cool?
