Goodbye 2015

Wow, what a year it's been! I literally cannot believe how quick 2015 has gone. I've learnt so much in the space of 12 months it's ridiculous and so much has happened in the last year! 

I just want to say a massive thank you to anyone who has taken some time out to read my blog, I'm only a super tiny blog too so you have no idea how much it means to me! All the comments I've received, companies who have worked with me over 2015 - thank you. I've loved working with you all and I love reading comments (even if sometimes it won't let me reply for whatever reason - damn technology). I really cannot wait to see what 2016 brings for me and the blog. I'm going to be more on it with blog posts - when I know I have a deadline coming up I will schedule a tonne of posts because I feel like in some months I've completely neglected the blog and it makes me sad and I'm angry with myself for that. So you can expect to see a lot more of me in the new year! 

I don't have any resolutions really, other than just keep being myself and the best possible me I can be. Life is too short to pretend to be something you're not.  

2016 is going to be a super exciting and sad year for me - I graduate (yay and nay - I really don't want university to end), I'm going to the most Magical Place on Earth for the sixth time and I've not been to WDW Florida since 2009 so I'm super excited to see how much it's changed! I'm also off back to the Harry Potter Studio Tours in London (thank you to Kayne's mum and dad) and I nearly cried with happiness! So you can expect to see posts surrounding all of this and more! 

I hope you will join me in the adventure! Thanks for reading as always and I'll write again in the new year, 

Lip Kit By Kylie: Candy K

Apologies for the blog being so silent, the last couple weeks at Uni have been absolutely mental. Ive handed in my deadlines and I've had dissertation deadlines too. I came home for Christmas on Saturday, straight into 10-12 hour days so it's pretty tiring as you can imagine!

So, my Kylie Jenner Lip Kit arrived (finally) after I managed to get one on the first release date in November. Couple of problems with shipping and not knowing where my order was at all. I had it sent to my University address and I came home this last weekend so I was panicking I wouldn't actually get the parcel. I think that the shipping system definitely needs improving, but I just think they're struggling to meet the demands of everyone because so many people want the lip kits, but hey ho - practice makes perfect! 

Anyway, onto the review!

Firstly, the packaging is amazing, I love the style it's minimalistic but gorgeous, the lips and the lipstick dripping image is something I really love too.
 I got the shade Candy K as I felt the other two were too dark for me but I might try out Dolce K soon - it seems to be a lot lighter than the box on pictures I've seen so far.

So in the box you get a matte liquid lipstick and a lip liner. Now, if you read my blog often, you'll know how much I love matte lipstick related stuff. I think it's definitely the most complimentary on my lips. They're actually amazing quality and it smells lovely! The lip liner goes on so easily and I've seen a few people saying how quick the liner goes down - I beg to differ! I put it on lightly, just enough to 'line' my lips and my liner still looks pretty full.

As you can see from the picture, it's a gorgeous mauve-pink shade (I think) Almost instantly the liquid lipstick goes matte, it doesn't remain in that nasty sticky liquidy texture that some lipglosses/lipsticks give you, it really holds to your lips. I ate, drank and wore it for about six hours in one day and didn't have to re-apply it once, it's amazing! I think in terms of 'wear and tear' it's definitely one of the best, if not the best that I've worn. 

Both the lip liner and matte liquid lipstick are full size, you really do get your moneys worth. A little definitely goes a long way with this lip kit. 

My lips before and after:

 

You can see just how much more defined my lips are and how much fuller they are. I don't have a big top lip in comparison to my bottom lip naturally but it has done an amazing job! I feel so confident when I wear the Kylie Jenner Lip Kit. I can't wait for the next release of stock and hopefully I'm going to get Dolce K, I'm going to steer clear from the darkest shade because that shade scares me! (I can't imagine that it'll look nice on my lips at all!)

Have you got any of the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits? Do you want one? Do you like them? Tell me what you think! 

So that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed today's post, I've enjoyed writing it! Be sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Bloglovin for updates about daily life and the blog! Thanks for reading again as always, 

Merry Christmas to you all, 

What University Can Teach You

So my What I'd Tell My Younger Self post has proven to be quite popular, I really enjoyed writing it so I thought why not do something similar but with University! There are days when I sit there and think: why am I doing this? What will I get from it? Is it really worth it? But then I just think of all the doors that could open for me and how much of an amazing time I've had in the last couple of years and that's when I know that I'm so glad I came to University.

Enjoy first year whilst you can.
the partying will become minimal by third year.

Pre drinks is one of the best parts of the night.

No night out is complete without a terrible group photo.

The talks about the night out the day after is always hilarious and traumatic.
You'll hear about how much dumb shit you did.

You will meet some amazing people, who you know will be lifetime friends.

You'll also meet some snakes, they're not worth your time. Stay well clear. 

You will get angry that you essentially pay £9,000 a year for your lecturers to read off a powerpoint presentation.

Seminars are super awkward sometimes.
Nothing worse than the tumble weed moments.

Every course has that 'one' lecturer.
You know the kind I'm talking about.

A large majority of students will feel like this during deadline period, I know I do. 
I'm dreading the dissertation deadline already!

Money, you will never appreciate money as much as you will at University...

because let's be honest - you'll be in your overdraft come November.

Despite entering your overdraft you'll still buy branded products and copious amounts of takeaways. 

You'll also fool yourself into believing that if you pay by card - you're not technically spending money. 

This is dangerous grounds, I've been there.

Halls is TOO noisy. Come on, why do you need to party still at 5am? Pipe down.

Your sleeping pattern will cease to exist.

Because yeah, sleep isn't a big deal anyway.

The library is surprisingly a good place for napping.

And the most important of all:

Be you. No body else, just you.

University is amazing for this because you can truly discover who you are with no judging glances. This isn't secondary school anymore.

So that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed this post. In the next couple weeks I may be a bit quiet on the blog because of dissertation hand ins, an assignment and working the Santa Specials back home. I'm going to try get a tonne of posts scheduled but I can't guarantee just how many I'll get done! So please be patient with me! Be sure to follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Bloglovin. Thank you as always for reading,
