Beauty Haul

So I met up with a friend to go "Christmas shopping" today and ended up spending a massive amount of money in boots, lush and topshop makeup instead, all on myself. I ended up getting not a single present for Christmas so that went well...

This is what I bought on my trip, from left to right: Loréal Paris glam bronze minéral, flake away soap and glory body polish, max factor glossfinity in aqua marine, rimmel wake me up concealer, topshop lipstick in beguiled and ohh la la, brazened honey face mask, breath of fresh air toner water, maybelline baby lips and bubblegum lip scrub.

Most of my buys are actually from reading reviews, especially when it came to the lip products. I've been craving some lipsticks for ages so I finally caved in to the topshop ones! All the lush products just smelled amazing so I couldn't just leave them there, so they somehow made it into my bag.

I'm sure I will do some reviewing later on when I've tried them out a bit, but from what I know, I consider all of them amazing buys!

Perks of work

Hi y'all, I feel I need an explanation for my lack of posts, and the only excuse I have is down to working! I'm a waitress for two companies currently, westonbirt restaurant and cowen and browse catering. I absolutely love both but neither are long term career choices - truth be told I have no idea what I want to be "when I'm older." (If I can even say that anymore - I'm 18 now and still without a clue of what I want to do)  

Anyway, the reason I thought my work was note-worthy this week is because of a lovely wedding I catered for over the weekend in Oxford, we travelled in groups up there by car and it was set just off from the cathedral, the colours were great and they had afternoon tea and cake, it was like summer indoors! 

I love working for weddings for two reasons, one is seeing their themes, colour scemes and general ideas being put together, and the other is the amount of freebees I seem to get at the end of it, a wedding not long ago there were tonnes of already opened wines left over so of course it would be a nightmare to box them up and take them away so we just had to take some home! This is a rare occurrence that we get alcohol, but the main freebee I always always receive more than my stomach's capacity of leftover food! Delicious food at that. This Oxford wedding I managed to nab a wonderful bouquet of flowers which were left on the tables!
