Just my stream of consciousness

Sorry to be a downer. I have come out of 2017 feeling as lost as when I went into 2016. Another degree and for what? The perpetual cycle of trying to get a job for experience and needing experience for a job is frustrating.

However, I have gained many experiences from 2017 that I will always be grateful for. Getting rid of fake friends and dead weights. Gaining some amazing new friends which has shown me true friendship and support.

I guess its even more of a sad beginning to the year seeing as everyone is moving on with their lives and going forward with amazing jobs and and opportunities which I am so proud of them for gaining. Whereas I do feel a tad like I'm lagging behind.

It is only the start of the year. Lets see how this goes.

   

MAC Strobe Cream | I have been non stop using this under my base! It gives such a natural, soft, iridescent glow and I absolutely love it. It is extremely subtle and perfect for everyday wear and does not get all weird and clumpy when my skin is extremely dry. It now comes in 5 different shades, but I think I will stay loyal to the original...for now!

Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads | I am the laziest person ever and microbeads are bad for the environment. So a good chemical exfoliation is the best way to go. These leave my skin soft, supple and evens out my skin tone nicely. They have quite a strong citrus scent, verging on washing up liquid which I am not a fan of, but the smell does not linger after applying. Recently Superdrug has been having amazing deals on the full sized version. There are also a variety of other cleansing pads available, so I am sure you will be able to find one to suit your needs!
Ciaté Geology in Goal Digger | I am not one who tends to stray away from dark reds but this nail polish colour is just so beautiful. It is described as a "A luxurious metallic rose-gold topped with a silver shimmery finish, perfect for date night." The formula of this is also amazing, I have never used a regular nail polish that lasted over a week before! 

I am pretty sure everyone has at least one Urban Decay Naked palette, am I right or am I right? I am personally not a big user of eyeshadows (mainly because I lack the skill) so I am trying to start using them regularly! So I thought I would invest in a decent eyeshadow palette which would force me to use it.

I chose the Naked 3 palette because rose is very in at the moment and I don't have any colours like this in my current collection. They are all very wearable colours which are both suitable for both day and night. They are buttery soft and blend so easily, which is a must if you suck at eyeshadows.

After trying out this palette, I definitely need to get more eyeshadows because I would love to do some make up tutorials/looks, so keep your eyes peeled for them.
