UNIVERSITY LIFE

Hello all, 

I haven't updated here in a while but I thought I should. 

Its not week 8 of university and I am really really enjoying my course. BUT, it is sooo much handwork and it is so time consuming. I honestly feel like I have barely any time to just relax. Like yeah, there are times when I'm not doing anything but Im constantly worried about the next thing that I need to do. This can be so annoying. 

This week is especially busy which I think is why I feel like writing here, to kind of escape for a minute and jot my thoughts down. Ive got to go and interview someone tomorrow which makes me kind of nervous since its someone I've never met before and what if the lecturer doesn't even like our idea and it's all a waste of time. URGHHHHH so stressed. 

On Wednesday I have a free day where I'm going to visit my boyfriend which should help me to chill out a little bit. Then on Thursday I have a full day of filming of a short film which needs to be edited and completely finished by SATURDAY!!!!!! This is one thing that I hate about working in a group, you have to find a time that you can all do and this is normally the last minute. For me, I'd much rather get things like this over and done with ASAP buuuuttt, not much you can do. 

Anyway, theres only 4 more Mondays left till the end of the semester and I can't quite believe that that means I'm pretty much half way through the first year of uni already. Itsss crazzzzyyy. 

Well, I'm going to be a lot more present on my blog again so I'll be back in a few days.

HOURGLASS VS ABH STICK FOUNDATION

Hellloooooo,

I wanted to do a quick little VS on here. Today I'll be talking about the Hourglass and the ABH stick foundations.

So in August when I was in the US I picked up the Hourglass stick foundation. I had wanted this for a while but I don't know why I wanted it. Like, no You Tuber said it was good or anything I just had seen it on the Sephora website and wanted to try it. Anyways, when I was in the store I saw it and thought ok why not, lets just try it.

I'm in the shade Buff which is pretty much the perfect match to my skin, I was matched in store so I should hope it is! When I first tried it on I literally just wore it to breakfast and thought it was nice but I wasn't sure if I was in LOVE with it since it was my first time wearing it. It was also incredibly hot that day so I was maaaajjjooorrrrlllyyy sweating which kind of made me think that it was the foundations fault, lol, stupid, I know!

After only wearing that foundation once that time then kind of being freaked out by the sweating I decided to try it again that same holiday but in the evening when it wasn't so hot. I should have mentioned earlier that this foundation is soooo full coverage for a stick foundation. It blends out as easily as a stick foundation probably can too! At this point though, I still was not IN LOVE with it.

I started using it quite regularly because I just thought it was so easy to use, it being a stick and all. Then I went back to my regular drugstore foundation and that my friends, is when I realised I loved this foundation. I genuinely try not to use it that much because I don't want to run out and you can get it here but its SOOOOO expensive!

LOL at how long this post has been already. So getting onto the other foundation. As you can probably already tell I clearly have a fave. After falling so in love with the Hourglass foundation I decided to get the ABH one. I was really lucky in that my Uncle who lives in New Jersey was coming to visit us so I could just easily order it to his house for him to bring. I was literally so blooming excited to try this foundation. I'd seen reviews and it seemed good.

To get to the point I genuinely wish I hadn't bought it. I've used it twice and whilst I'm typing this I'm thinking about how I'm going to give it another chance tomorrow. Anyways, this foundation is genuinely the most difficult thing to blend EVER. I literally cannot blend it. Ive tried with a brush and a beauty blender and with different moisturises and primers on but nothing works! I really really wanted to love this foundation but I just don't.

Like I said I think I'm going to give it another go before I completely decide that its the worst foundation I've ever used... bit harsh but its genuinely true.

If you want to see a video of me using this foundation so you can see what it looks like etc then let me know on my Instagram: @amberlouiserebeccas

MY LIQUID LIPSTICK OBSESSION

Ok so the title of this post is actually pretty obvious from my Instagram (@amberlouiserebeccas) but I genuinely am obsessed with liquid lipsticks.

Since I have this crazy obsession I've decided I'm going to film a video for you guys that will take about 15 days to film. Lol crazy I know. 

My plan is to wear a different brand of liquid lipstick each day and then film throughout the day giving updates on how good they are/if they're worth the price/ how they feel on my lips, all stuff like that. I'll probably come up with some sort of ways to rate them all so that you guys know which are the best. 

At the moment I have these liquid lipsticks that I'll be wearing and trying on for you: 

-Dose of Colours

-ColourPop

-Kylie Lip Kits

-NYX

-Jeffree Star

-Gerard Cosmetics

-Milani

-Lime Crime 

-Jouer 

-Stila

-Beauty Bakerie

-theBalm

-Ilamasqua

-Huda Beauty 

-Too Faced

Anyway, my job for you is to go to my Instagram (at the top of this post in pink) and comment on my most recent picture if there are anymore liquid lipsticks you'd like me to add into this video! I really want to try out the ones that you guys have had your eye on but aren't sure how good they are. 

I also want you guys to let me know what tests you want me to do in the video. For example I'll be eating with them on, drinking, wearing them for the whole day and by this I mean I'll be obviously living my day to day hectic life with them on. Let me know if there are any other 'tests' you'd like to see. 

In return for your help you guys have the chance to win a Kylie Jenner Lip Kit as my giveaway is till open and is open till Monday the 31st October. 

Thanks for your help loves xoxo
