When Revision Takes Over...

Oh my days, it feels like I haven't blogged in ages! It's true, I've literally been so busy with revising and getting my final essays and presentations in, I haven't had much time to think of anything else! Oh the joys of being a final year Uni student. To all you who have exams/deadlines coming up, good luck and stay positive!!

First of all, a HUGE hello to all my new followers and a MASSIVE thank you for all the lovely comments you've been writing. I'm only a little blogger so the comments mean the world to me <3

So, in between revision and deadlines, what have I been doing..? Pampering myself of course! Let’s face it, revision is boring and tedious, but it has to be done in order for exam success. It's important to treat yourself during times like this. I'm talking food too! A nice bar of chocolate by your side makes learning easier, it does motivate you! Also a half hour off during a day of revision to relax can do you the world of good, because you come back to things much more refreshed than before. I've managed to make time for myself, try a few new products and here are the results...

Face

Last week I tried another 'Montagne Jeunesse' face mask, this time the dark chocolate smelling one (I noticed it can also be purchased in white chocolate too - I may do a 'chocolate series' and review this one too). It was divine but then again, I am a chocoholic! A super steal at just £1 too. It literally smelt like I was slapping Terry’s chocolate orange on my face, and I had to resist the urge to eat it! Most of all it cleansed & moisturised my face and even my exam worries melted away... (I'm sorry, that was a terrible pun!)

Verdict 

Can't afford a trip to Cadbury world? Try this 'dairy mask' instead! (Oh dear, these puns are getting worse!) 

Nails 

I've gone a bit mad with pastel & coral colours this week. Any coral or pastel can bring any outfit bang on trend, and these types of colours make outfits look much more summery (even if the weather isn't playing ball) and suit just about any skin tone. On darker skins they look bright and zingy yet on paler tones they stand out and give a nice contrast. To achieve the colour strength on the pictures I did have to add at least two coats.

Toes

This 'Barry M' shade in 'Mint Green' was kindly lent to me by my good friend Ruth. Trust me, she is the person to go to if you need to try a new nail varnish, with a box full of enough colours and shades to rival a Dulux colour chart. First impressions made me think of leprechauns due to it being so green, but as I got used to the colour I really do like it. It's a nice shade of green too; you don't look like you've got some gross type of advanced fungal nail infection.

Fingers

This Collection 2000 shade in 'Fruit Salad' I think is meant to look like the candy bars it's named after, well... Not quite. There's just not enough orange hue. But it is a bright corally pink, as opposed to being a more flamingo style pink. The wide brush means easy application and the 'fast dry' means it's a manicure in minutes! Two of my flatmates have borrowed this colour off me, and I quite fancied having it on too.

Until next time lovelies x
