Weekly Round Up #5

This past week has been really great, it turns out a little getaway was just what I needed. I'm currently on a two week mid semester break from university so I managed to get away for a few days last week to relax and catch up with some family. I'm really looking forward to this week, being able to relax at home and on Thursday night we are going to see the Illusionists 2.0! I saw the Illusionists last year and as soon as I found out they were doing another show I booked tickets straight away and have been patiently waiting ever since. The rest off the week is going to be spend catching up on university work and relaxing.

Weekly Round Up #4

Hooray! Exams have finished and now I've got three whole weeks of holidays/work. I finished exams on Wednesday and spent the rest of the week catching up on YouTube and reading blogs. 

YouTube Videos: I have a feeling this category is going to get rather repetitive if I just name YouTubers so I'm going to start sharing my favourite videos rather than just a YouTuber in general. ViviannaDoesMakeup posted a video on Multi-Tasking Beauty Bits. I've never thought of some of the things Anna shared, definitely a must watch. Hannah Maggs posted her weekly vlog, where her and her husband, Stef, tried out the blackout project for a few nights. If you don't know what the blackout project is you have to go watch their vlog, I think its a great idea but I'd probably end up using my phone within the first half hour.

Favourite Blog Posts: One Nail to Rule Them All - Tutorial Tuesday: Floral Foxes for Divine Caroline | The Black Pearl Blog - Stress-free Blogging | The Private Life of a Girl - The Book List #15

Bloggers I followed: Birds Words | Away with the Fairies | World of Wanderlust 

Favourite Beauty Product: At the end of last week I got some more Real Techniques brushes. I got the Sam's Picks Exclusive Brush Set from iHerb. It comes with 6 brushes, a buffing brush, multi-task brush, pointed foundation brush, essential crease brush, setting brush and fine liner brush. This set is perfect if you don't really have any brushes and are looking for some to get you started and at only $US29.99, they're pretty affordable too. I must mention these are really good quality brushes too, if you watch a whole lot of beauty youtubers, like me, you definitely will have seen them using Real Technique brushes at some time or another.

Weekly Round Up #3

Wow, what a week. I've had two exams so my entire week has been spent sat at home studying. Pretty boring all in all but only a couple more days and it'll be all done! Once exams are over there will be a lot more blog posts so let me know if there is anything you would like me to do a post on. 

Favourite YouTuber: This week I have began watching the SACCONEJOLYs! I already love watching itsJudysLife's daily vlogs. I have no idea why it has taken me so long to find the SACCONEJOLYs on YouTube. The SACCONEJOLYs, like itsJudysLife, upload daily vlogs of their lives. Everyday this week as soon as I've sat down for breakfast I've found there latest vlog to watch while I eat.

Lusting After: This afternoon I decided to have a look in a couple clothing stores and saw these pants (above) which I am absolutely in love with. It's not something I would normally wear but I think they would look really nice with a simple top and cardigan. I might actually have to end up buying them later this week. 

Favourite TV show: I finally sat down and started watching Orange is the New Black this week, I've only watched the first two episodes of Season One so far but it's really good! I'm happy I can finally say what all the hype is about. I finish exams in a couple days so the rest of season one will probably get finished pretty quickly! 

Let me know your favourite vlogging YouTubers, what you've been lusting after and your favourite TV show this week. 

Weekly Round Up #2

Welcome to my second Weekly Round Up! I've had a rather uneventful week. Exams have just started at University so I've spend the entire week at home studying. My first exam isn't till Thursday but then it's full on for a week! Only a week and a half till I am holiday for three weeks, however I do plan to work a lot during this time so it probably won't end up being much of a "holiday". 

Favourite Youtuber : essiebuttonvlogs - VLUNE! I've really been enjoying Vlune, I wish it was everyday but at least I have something to look forward every second day, especially after all the studying.

Nails of the week : I did a post on the nail polish I was wearing for the first half of the week, it can be found here. I'll put a picture of my nails from the second half of the week below this. I really love them, its really simple but looks amazing. I used OPI My Vampire is Buff, Essie Haute as Hello and KBShimmer Grayscale.

Currently Lusting Over : Soap and Glory - I want to try it all! Sadly we can't get Soap and Glory easily in New Zealand but I did find the other day that MeccaCosmetica in Australia stocks it and will ship to NZ! So I might be able to get some after all.

Just a short post for this week. When I've got more time after exams I'll be taking more photos to include in these posts and adding more categories.

Let me know what you've been watching on youtube, wearing on your nails and lusting over this week in the comment section down below! 

Weekly Round Up #1

Welcome to my first Weekly Round Up! I plan to mix up the categories I use in the weekly round up every week so let me know if there is anything you would like me to include in next weeks. I plan to have these posted every Sunday morning. 
This week has been pretty busy for me, with university exams just around the corner, studying has become a big part of my day. I have manged to write a couple blog posts and get them pre-scheduled so when I'm right in the thick of exams there should still be posts going up. 

Book of the week: The Luminaries by Eleanor Catton. I am desperately trying to finish this book before I start my exams and so far I am really enjoying it. Let me know if you would like me to do a little write up on it once I'm finished. 

TV show of the week: Game of Thrones! I don't think that needs any explanation.

Loving this week: Applying my new L'Oreal True Match Foundation in N1 with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.

On my nails this week: My nails are currently really short so I have just been wearing OPI Bubble Bath.
