In and Out - number one :)

So I'm feeling a bit lazy today, the weather's horrible in Sheffield and I have little to do, so I thought I'd jump on the 'Ins and Outs' bandwagon... Here goes...

IN

1. Not being at Uni. Although I love it there and I miss my friends, I am not missing the early starts, late nights, constant hangovers and massive work load. I go back on the 14Th, so I've still got loads of time to laze about in my PJ's :)

2. Max Factor Second Skin foundation. I've been using the Natural Collection £2 stuff for about 5 months now, and as great as it is for the money, it does nothing but sit on the skin. It doesn't blend well at all, and with the tiniest drop of rain, the smear that is caused is a nightmare to fix when you're on the go. So with the Christmas money I was given, I went on the hunt for a new one. Yes, the price difference is quite noticeable - £12.99 - but this stuff is amazing. It blends amazingly, makes the skin looks pretty flawless when paired with a decent concealer, and you only have to use the tiniest amount, so I guess the price tag is deserved. All in all, a great buy.

3. Clinique's 3 step Anti-Blemish solutions. My skin is very prone to breakouts and blackheads and I've been wanting to try out Clinique for a while. But with a £50 price tag attached, it wasn't a product I was willing to buy on a whim. Once again with Christmas vouchers, I went on a trip to MAC, where I bought fix+ and Rubinesque paint pot (fix+ isn't living up to my prior expectations - review in another post). However, with a fairly substantial amount of change, I was drawn to the Clinique counter next door. The saleswomen worked her magic and I arrived home with the foaming cleanser, anti-blemish cleansing foam, anti-blemish chemical exfoliator/clarifying lotion, and the(amazing)clearing moisturiser. I'll do a full post on this range, but let me tell you, I'm impressed.

4. My boyfriend, Nick. I love him quite a bit :) He's made me extremely happy these past few weeks and he deserves a little mention :)

5. NYE. I love getting dressed up for a night out, it makes me feel wonderful and that's what I'll be doing tonight. Hopefully bringing in the new year looking good, feeling good, with the ones I love, and not too wasted. :)


OUT

1. Christmas. I LOVE Christmas. I'm like a child, getting overly hyper, leaving out carrots and milk on Christmas eve and not being able to sleep. But it's gone for another year :( Not too long now though...

2. Not being with my uni girlies. Even though we've all only known each other for three months, I feel like I've known them all my life. We live in each others pockets and not being with them is quite strange :(

3. How much work I've got to do over the holidays. Pretty self explanatory, really :(:(.

I think that's about it for now. I'll be reviewing Fix+ and Clinique pretty soon but I hope everyone is enjoying the break from school/college/uni/work... enjoy yourselves tonight and untill next time... xoxo
