Out with the old and in with the new... hopefully!

For those of you who don't know what I do for a living, I am training to be a hairdresser. 
Its a flat £90 a week for a lot of work, but alot of training and career prospects at the end of the tunnel. Or so I thought. 
The placement I have now is horrible. I have had 1 training day in over 6 months and I clean for 10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

but I have had an interview today (which went really well) for a new placement ;]

Yippeeee!

They're a new salon who want someone at my level, to get trained up as quickly as possible, get stuck into hair comps, demonstrations and get a column built up as quickly as possible.
Happy days :)
So I have a trial day next week where I have to bring in a couple of models, show off what I can do and then hopefully I will start! 

Wish me luck!

Ins and Outs 1

I love the idea of these posts so I am going to follow suit and do one to :)

In:
  • Pay Day
  • Extensions
  • High School Musical 3 (just bought a massive poster for my room)
  • Pasta bake
  • Coloured contacts

Out:
  • Sunbeds (I've burnt my chest and my bum) bad times. 
  • Work tomorrow :(
  • Nail biting. I vow from this day forward I will no longer bite my nails.

Haul!

I love, love, love shopping :] 
Today I visited Warehouse, Primark, Selfridges and Boots :]

From Warehouse I have bought a lovely bodycon dress for Valentines day and it's lovelyyyyy :]

From Primark I bought one of those braided headbands and some purple and black drop earrings and a purple jumper :]] (modeled in the picture by me haha, what a dork)

I got loads of other bits and pieces (pearl style necklaces and bangles, socks, bras, shorts) and a plain black cardigan.

At selfridges I went to MAC and NARS and got a back up of my foundation (MAC Select SPF15 IN NC30 and Nars Laguna, nothing exciting but very essential :]

I went a bit mad in Boots on haircare I got a brunette shampoo and conditioner duo from Charles Worthington, a Trevor Sorbie brunette colour gloss, some Umberto Gianni Sleek blow dry spray, volumising spray and some shine spray :]]

Yey :]

My house

My house got trashed :/
Mess everywhere. red wine on the carpet, someone fell into a plant pot outside and it smashed.


All in all, a good night :] Aha. 

I have just got an email from NARS showing the 'new' duo concealers. I want one, I think. The idea of the compact is really good, incorporating two products I use on a daily basis. 
Does anyone else have this product and is it as good as it looks?
I have to say I am a little apprehensive about whether a skin product which only comes in three shades would work for everyone. Maybe i'm just being too pessimistic and i'm sure they will be much better than what I think :)

Opinions?

I'm sorry :(

I have missing from my blog lately and i'm very sorry :(
I have been so busy with work, Andy's 21st etc...

but I got paid today so there will be some haul posts soon :)

So this is just a quick update; I am throwing a party tomorrow for Andys' 21st (Yey) my house is going to packed with like a million people (eek!) but it should be good and i'm really looking forward to it :)

I have given up on fake tan for the past week, until I can afford fake bake, because St. Tropez is the worst ever.

I have also decided I HAVE to stop biting my nails, it is a discusting habit, so i'm going running back to falsies next week :)

That's about all really :)
Take care :)

SNOW!

I love the snow :) 
I didn't have to go to work today so I just sat in my bedroom all snug with my boyfriend looking at how pretty it was :)

I bet it wasn't so funny if I was in work today and had to walk to work in it :( 

So on to the good stuff.
I went to the Trafford Centre last Friday, no make up bought (i'm holding fire for the Hello Kitty Collection) but I did get a new coat :)
I have no camera so I can't show you all it though :( 

It's from River Island and is gorgeous, it's a black short mac with 3/4 length sleeves :)
As soon as I get a camera (which will be soon) I will be sure to take a picture to show you all :)

OH MY GOD!

What the hell is going on with my skin! I don't usually ever have a real problem with it, the occasional spot and a little pale but my complexion is usually pretty good, but I have woken up today and I am covered in spots, one huge one on my nose, one on my chin and a couple of little ones on my cheek.

:[

At the moment I am using Clean and Clear Daily Scrub and Olay Beauty fluid in the morning and Clean and Clear Blackhead cleanser at night followed with St Tropez gradual face tanner. 
I have a feeling it might be the St Tropez ( I am really beginning to hate St Tropez!) but i'm not sure whether it is time for a skincare overhaul, considering this routine (excluding the gradual tanner) is the same I have used since I was about 14?

What do all you lovelies use on your skin to keep it clear and pretty. 
Hope you're all okay :]

I'm going to the Trafford Centre today for some serious shopping :]
Hurrah.
