One Moment To Another, A World To Be Discovered

[Source]

.1. I'm currently sat here eating a packet of Marmite crisps and listening to Emeli Sande, it's nice to finally have a little bit of time to myself as i've missed updating my blog and catching up on all my favourites. I've been at home since Friday and i'm really not looking forward to going back to uni later tonight! I'm spending the rest of the week alone in my flat as my flatmates all have a reading week and have gone home. I'm planning on doing lots of work on my assignments so I suppose its going to work to my advantage :)

.2. I gave blood on Friday and for once it went really well. I don't have a bruise and managed to give a full donation which i'm so happy about. Fingers crossed that Tom will be there when I donate again in June as he's the only person who has managed to make donating go well for me! My addiction to shows like Junior Doctors, Confessions Of A Nurse and One Born Every Minute mean thats its even more rewarding when I think about who my blood might have helped.

.3. I haven't really done much this week; I didn't do anything too special for Valentine's Day as i'm single - me and my flatmates went out to one of our favourite clubs and had a really good night from what I can remember!
I don't think i've shared it here but i've had instagram for a while (little_caz) and i've been finding it really addictive recently so feel free to follow me and i'll follow back :)

♥ of the week: Emeli Sande - Our Version Of Events - you're missing out if you haven't listened to this album yet!

♫ I'm currently listening to: Labrinth - Last Time and Drake ft Rihanna - Take Care

Oh You Gotta Fire And It's Burnin' In The Rain

So for the first Sunday in what seems like forever, i've actually found the time to write a post! Uni is once again just getting in the way of me blogging and with around 700 posts to catch up on as well as ones to write myself I really need to get organised! I love blogging and I miss writing posts a few times a week - the only thing i've been writing recently are notes for uni which couldn't be anymore boring!
I've done about 4 presentations at uni in the past couple of weeks and its safe to say I hate them! My lecturer actually told me that I need to work on my presentation skills (in other words i'm crap) but I just get too nervous and end up looking like an idiot every time! I honestly would rather do a huge assignment or exams instead of a presentation! I also have four 3000 word assignments due in in the next few weeks which are going to be a nightmare to finish! I'm seriously dreading the workload next year although I have been questioning whether i'm even doing to right degree recently.
I've been home a couple of times which has been nice, especially just to catch up on sleep as i've been out lots recently and spend most of my time either tired or hungover! I suppose of the thing i'm kind of looking forward to in second year is when I can settle down a bit more although I do still enjoy most of my nights out!
I've also put down a deposit on a flat for next year; its so much nicer than the halls i'm in now and although its expensive i'm going to make the most of the wi-fi, dishwasher and huge TV :)
A few weeks ago my horoscope was "You want to put a distance between yourself and a certain person, but they just don't seem to be getting the message. Don't return their calls and texts and maybe they will" This is frighteningly true as i've been living with someone since September who isn't the kind of person I get on with. I don't like to bitch but a couple of weeks ago she proved who she really was to everyone. I have no idea what the next few months are going to be like but being in this kind of situation isn't nice and no one deserves to be treated the way me and my flatmates have been by someone who is supposed to be our friend. I suppose it's just one of those things in life that you have to deal with and in reality I expected there to be some kind of bitchiness when living in a flat of girls just maybe not as jealous and competitive as it has become.
As much as I love blogging I don't really know what direction this blog is going in at the minute so if anyone wants to give me some ideas for posts i'd be really grateful as in a couple of weeks i'll hopefully have a bit of spare time to write a few posts :) 

♫ I'm currently listening to: Heartbeat - The Fray and Power's Out - Nicole Scherzinger 

Record Of The Week: The Fray

This is just a quick post to show you that i'm still here! I'll hopefully have a post up on Sunday but I thought i'd actually blog for the first time this month! As usual uni is getting in the way of everything but i've been loving this song so much recently and as I haven't done a Record of the Week since October I thought it was about time I shared one :)

I've always loved The Fray and this song has been on repeat for the past couple of weeks - i'm so excited for their new album to be released!

There's Something About Coming Back To Your Hometown Again

 My very healthy pure chocolate breakfast ;)

 One of the very few roast dinners we've cooked at uni

My shower which might as well be a bath! I got my hands on some of this and got it sorted after 4 months of putting up with it!

 Love this flavour!

Take Me Down Like I'm A Domino

I was sent this blush brush and sponge a few months ago and after trying them for a while and also being a bit of a lazy student, i've finally got round to reviewing them. They're both from the Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert Range which is available in Superdrug and online.

 Blend Perfection Sponge

I was quite optimistic about using a sponge to apply my foundation as I normally use my Sigma F80 Brush which gives a really good finish. To use the sponge you simply wet it so that it's damp and then dip it into foundation on the back of your hand. To test the sponge I did half of my face using my Sigma Brush and then half with the sponge. To be honest I couldn't really tell much difference - they both gave an airbrushed finish and the only difference was around my nose where my Sigma F80 gave a better coverage as the sponge wasn't easy to get into smaller places.  I also found that the sponge used a lot more foundation than if I used a brush as it soaked a lot in so if you're using quite a pricey foundation it might not be worth it. Overall I really liked the effect the sponge gave and I probably will use it again. The sponge retails at £4.95 which I think is quite reasonable for what you're getting especially as I know there are quite a few more expensive options out there which are really similar.

Perfect Finish Blush Brush

I have so many different brushes from lots of different brands so when I received this brush I didn't really know what to expect. I normally use a slightly bigger brush to apply my blusher and for some reason i've never felt the need to purchase an angled brush. I think i'm a bit of a convert as I find it so much easier to put my blusher on using this brush as it's a bit more precise. The quality of the brush is ok; it's not as soft as some of my other brushes but I do like the white handle and the fact it fits into my makeup bag better than my other blush brush ;) Although I really like the brush I don't think it's worth the £4.50 RRP as i'd be more tempted to purchase ELF's alternative which is slightly cheaper and will probably be a bit softer.
