How Much Is My Face Worth?: ALICE

As you may have noticed I haven't posted in over a month, this is firstly down to the volume university work I have to do for assessment but also down to major writing block. I have about 60 post's I want to write but the writing just isn't coming, so I gave myself a little break and read dozens of 365 things to write about posts. So after a month of silence I present to you my new series of posts called "How much is my face worth?".

First up is Alice.

Both Myself and Alice are on the BA Fine Art course at Norwich University of the Arts and she was also one of the first people I met and befriended on the first day. Apart from having an Audrey Hepburn obsession, Alice is also interested in Fashion, Interior design and Beauty, an interest that we  both share. I asked Alice to be my first "How much is your face worth" because apart from being a friend, her skincare/face makeup routine is quite detailed and focuses on treatment of problem skin 

(a problem many of us young adults suffer with). 

All of her everyday products are listed and linked down below.

Dr Organic Rose Otto Day Cream - £9.79

Clinique Superprimer Universal Face Primer- £20

Bare Minerals Face Powder in Medium Beige - £25

Benefit "Hello Flawless" Face Powder in Honey - £25.50

Urban Decay Ink For Eyes - £15.50

YSL False Lash Mascara - £25

Benefit Brow Zing in Medium - £24.50

Palmers Chapstick - £1.99

= £147.28

Soap & Glory: Thick and Fast Mascara

(Photo Source)

I've heard a lot of bad reviews about this mascara however for me it is my new favourite. The brush itself is rather big promoting larger lashes, the mascara is also build able meaning you can choose to apply one coat for a natural lash or several for a more volumlised lash. 

The only down-side to this lash is that the lashes remain rather flat, best way to combat this though is to either keep adding layers or to use an eyelash curler.

Really loving this product and it has now been added to my everyday products basket.

Christmas in a Box: Soap & Glory The Next Big Thing Gift

Boots has done it agin with its amazing star gift this week; The Next Big thing Gift set has been reduced from £60 to £29 Bargain! (£25 if you own a boots discount card too). The set comes in a limited edition box designed by Hattie Stewart, and all the products are safely tucked away in a cute draw string bag (perfect for storing makeup especially when travelling). It's such a nice way to make this gift unique by collaborating with a new designer every year. It means lots of newbie designers get exposure and the boxes never look the same! 
This box incudes:

• Hand Dream Super Cream 100ml

• Orangeasm Body Wash 500ml

• Butter Yourself Moisture Lotion 500ml

• Heel Genius Foot Cream 125ml

• Sugar Crush Body Scrub 300ml

• Whipped Clean Shower Butter 250ml

• The Righteous Body Butter 300ml

 • Off Your Face 3 in 1 Daily Purifying Cloths (25 cloths)

• Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Lacquer in Charm Offensive 7ml

• Thick and Fast Super Volume Mascara 10ml

• A bonus drawstring bag

Unfortunately you cant buy this gift set anymore but you can still buy the products from boots using their 3 for 2 offer. I am writing reviews of each product individually which will be posted soon. Overall I think this box is great value for money as most of the products inside are worth about £8 each!  It's also a handy present for a boyfriend who doesn't know what to get his girlfriend as there is a big selection of pamper products that she can choose from and if she doesn't like one or two they can be given as gifts for birthdays or christmas!

Hope you found this little insight helpful.

NUA: TERM ONE

As mentioned in my previous post I am now attending NUA: Norwich University of the Arts studying a BA Degree in Fine Art (much the opposite to beauty and fashion). I have just finished my first term and though I would reflect on how it went. There is one thing I want to point out first though:

An art degree is not a doss. There is a lot of work behind it and a lot of the time coming up with new theories and idea's can be a bit too much on the brain. We don't just produce art, we produce essays, research files, sketchbooks, and reflective journals as-well. Now that's over with...

There were many points in this term where I thought: What the hell am I doing with my life? (mainly when our task was to draw weeds).

Nothing is as good as my mum's home cooking (mainly her mini lasagne's she brings down when she visits).

Its okay to not be homesick. Yes I miss my parents especially my mum (who I used to live with) but why let that stop or distract you from enjoying your time at university?

It is also okay not to go out every night or every week, not everyone can be a party animal, myself included (much prefer a pizza while watching Lord of the Rings)

Here's a couple of pictures taken around my university building, it's so pretty!
Hope you enjoy.
