Anyhoo, payday finally rolled around and I decided to treat myself to a couple of things from Asos before setting aside some pennies to buy some goodies for Tennille & tucking the rest away into my savings. There are so many big things I want to do over the coming years – learn to drive, get a car, start & complete my Open University degree and most importantly buy a house – so I’m hoping to take some more hours at work to save for those things.
Now I don’t actually like planes, the thought of ever having to go on one fills me with terror. So you’re probably wondering why on earth I bought a necklace with a plane on it? My boyfriend loves planes, he’s so completely obsessed and it’s very cute so when I saw this on Asos I had to get it simply because it reminds me of him.
We’ve been having a bit of a tough time with the long distance lately, it’s been over 2 years and it doesn’t get any easier, so anything that reminds me of him I just have to have. A 'friend' said that was a bit sad - charming, ta very much for that - but I actually don't care. It makes me smile. It was only a couple of pounds, it’s so tiny and I love it.
An Illamasqua cream blush has been on my wish list for absolutely ages, they’re quite expensive at £16 so I’ve been good and resisted... until now.
I needed a little pick me up and this has done the job fabulously because I’m in love with it. I got the colour Promise that Illamasqua describe as a warm candy pink & it’s beautiful. I’m excited to do a face of the day and hopefully the camera will pick up on just how lovely and fresh it makes my cheeks look.
It’s such a girly colour that I can’t wait to wear with flawless skin, lashings of mascara and a rosy pink lip. The formula is so smooth, not thick at all and it leaves a really pretty dewy finish to the skin that’s not greasy or oily. I am envisaging having to reapply this throughout the day but for this colour, it’ll be totally worth it.
What are your favourite cream blushers? Are there any more must-haves I need in my collection?
