Nip + Fab Spot Fix | Review

Moving back home has meant a lot of changes to my routine, and the first thing to suffer has been my skin. Luckily, I don't often get spots but when I do they are horrible beasts. I felt one of these aforementioned beasts growing last Saturday, and rushed around crazily attempting to find something to put on it to dry it out and hopefully stop it in it's tracks. 

At the bottom of my bag I found my Nip+Fab Spot Fix, a product I bought a while ago and promptly forgot about. According to Nip+Fab Spot Fix is 'a fast acting gel that targets blemishes'. You only need to use a very tiny amount on the affected area, so although it's a small tube it's going to last forever. 

Sorry about the quality! My camera is a little... lost right now.

I really love Nip+Fab products, so far I have not yet found a product of theirs that I haven't liked. It's great when you find a brand like that!

Spot Fix is available here from the Nip+Fab website. It's currently 50% off (lucky coincidence when I went to check!), which makes it £3.95, usually £9.95. A real bargain right now!

What's your go-to rescue remedy?

Summer Ball 2013 | Picture Post

So many lovely photos were taken the night of the Summer Ball that I can't help but share them with you! Our friends got engaged on the Hoe, so we used that excuse to take some lovely photos by the sea. All of this photos were taken by my lovely friend Jessi, (or on her camera), clicky here to follow her on Twitter (708 followers can't be wrong!).

A sneaky bit of posing while we were waiting for the lovebirds to get off the eye! 

Congratulations!

The boys are bigger posers than girls!

The 'omg there's a ring on that finger!' picture.

We were so lucky the sun came out for us! 

Wheeling Matt through to get his congratulations in!

Can't wait to get this framed!

JAZZ HANDS.

Summer Ball 2013 | Outfit

So a week ago our Summer Ball was held, and I swear I've spent the last week in recovery from it! It was an amazing night: our friends got engaged (I know right!); we got drunk and danced the night away; spent a lot of [fake] money in the casino, watched Katy B and YouMeAtSix preform (again, I know right!); and all in all rounded off our three years at university with a lot of fun, laughter and...well... alcohol.

Outfit
I wore a skater dress from Lipsy (RRP £50.00), with a white skirt and an amazing art deco type black lace pattern for the top . Normally skater dresses make me look on the large side, but this one had quite a long body and I fell in love with it straight away. I teamed it with my trusty two year old shoe boots from New Look, as I was on my feet from 6pm-3.30am and I knew my feet would be killing! (And I still had to buy flip flops at half 12...). I wore a simple black blazer from New Look (RRP £19.99) to team off the look and to keep me warm in the Outdoor Marquees. 

Unfortunately there's no good photos of me on my own in the dress, but look out for the group photos in tomorrows picture post where I think I show it off best. In the meantime, he's some pictures of Matt and I looking svelte.

Summer Reading List

If you didn't know, I am a reader. On a fairly large scale. I read much more than I watch television, and as an aspiring novelist I am always trying to enhance my literary mind. However, with third year taking over my life the past six months, I have not done much reading in 2013. I have read 33 books since January 01 this year, which may sound like a lot but is below my average and below my Goodreads reading challenge. 
But it's Summer now, and my apparent lack of employability means that I can read all the books that I've been putting on hold for a few months now. The books I'm most looking forward to reading are:

Ready Player One -  Clive Ernest • We Need to Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver • Remember Me? - Sophie Kinsella • Whale Talk - Chris Crutcher • The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - Jennifer E. Smith • Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay Asher • Defending Jacob - William Landay • A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin.

As you can see I enjoy a right mixture! I can't quite give up YA novels (guilty pleasure), and I've wanted to read Game of Thrones for a very long time but never had the time on my hands to tackle it. The others are ones I've seen good reviews for and have piqued my interest.

Are you a reader? What's your favourite type of novel? What are you most looking forward to reading over the coming months? - Let me know!

The Eyebrow Problem

The current obsession with eyebrows is something I find slightly weird. As a young teenager I can remember my older sisters teaching me how to pluck, and telling me that I should strive for even eyebrows that perfectly match my hair colour, and if it doubt over size, always go for smaller.  Hence, it's taken me a long time to fully embrace the stand out eyebrows trend. I think the slight obsession I've developed with Cara Delevingne has definitely spurred me on! 

I've started to fill in my eyebrows using the darkest colour in the Rimmel Orien palette. I'm naturally very light, although my hair has darkened due to dyes and what not. This means that my eye brows can look a little light for my face and for want of a better word, they can tend to almost look greasy. I don't over-do it when I fill them in, I'm still blonde and I don't quite fancy a Scouse Brow, but it definitely gives them a bit more definition. Here's my eyebrows before and after:

 Do you fill in your eyebrows? How dark do you go?
