Sunday Summary - Week 2

What I'm watching

On Friday night my Mum and I watched Basic Instinct for the first time, and despite that classic level of cheese which comes hand in hand with old movies, I really enjoyed it. They kept me hanging on all the way through, at first I thought it was her, then I thought it was Roxy, but I never expected it'd be Miss Doctor! (I'm great with names, right?) 

Then it ended... does anyone understand the point of that ending? Nope? Me neither.

What I'm listening to

I've had this song stuck in my head all weekend and its beginning to drive me mental! The band are a group of lads from back home, who are making it big! They won a competition a couple of years back to support McFly on tour and from there on they've just gone from strength to strength. If your in the small gig scene look out for Idol Minds, they're always touring and its definitely going to be a laugh with these boys about. 

Keep an eye open! 

What I'm reading

Jodi Picoult - Lone Wolf. So I'm still on this book but with good reason - my weeks been hectic! I handed in my first assignment on Wednesday which, true to style, I didn't think was in for another two months... I am the most unorganised person on earth.

Thursday we went home for the weekend to see the family and we didn't get home 'till Sunday. I will finish it this week!

What I'm craving

So on Thursday night we went ahead and got really wasted. Like, to the point where I don't remember getting home and my usual hangover food is eggy bread, which is so bad for you. Since Friday morning all I have wanted to eat is eggy bread, no amount of scrambled or poached will cut it. Luckily for me we forgot to buy eggs yesterday - I'm hoping sometime soon the craving will detach itself from me otherwise I think I'm just gonna have to go ahead and chow down!

What I'm lusting after

A Maid // A Lily Collett Co-ord - Instagram @LILICOLLETT // Midnight Crush Dress - Nasty Gal // Dan Brown - Inferno // Riley Canvas Block Heel Trainers - Missguided // Stretch front Cigarette Trousers - Topshop // Neve Chunky Heel Lace & Clip Boots - Boohoo 

What I'm buying

I went a little mad on Wednesday... Superdrug and I had a date which wound up costing me a little more than anticipated! I picked up some gorgeous Barry M nail varnishes (Dolly Mixture, Sequin Nail Paint 3, Station Road) as well as Essie - For the twill of it. Other than that it was just a whole vanity case overhaul; GOSH & Max Factor foundations, GOSH click and conceal, Maybelline 24hr lipsticks in Ravishing Rouge, On and On Pink & Forever Coral tint, Maybelline Master Brow pencil, a GOSH foundation brush, B Refined Exfoliating Cleanser and VO5 Plump it Up & Give me Texture. 
I also treated my Man to a Bonsai Tree! He's been going on about them for ages and I spotted them on the market stall outside Picadilly Gardens so thought I'd buy him a little prezzie. He was chuffed! We spent all Sunday researching and pruning it.

What I'm wishing

That our Bonsai would grow! // I could work out how to make the extractor fan in the flat work // The new Thor film could be released a few days early! // That I could afford all the cosy looking coats I've been scanning (sigh).

Super Stay 14Hr Lipstick // Always Plum

I've never been a huge fan of lipstick... always favoured a good lip tint over the creamy, smudgy colour sticks that every woman seemed to caw over, and lip-gloss was always too sticky. I could never stand being one of those girls who left a kiss trail everywhere she went; on straws, cheeks, even cigarette butts. And I never fully gained the skill level of a woman who can apply the colour drunkenly as easily as she did sober - lipstick was a big no, no for a night out.

But every girl gets bored easily (and perhaps me more so than others)... once I'd made my way through my choice of tint colours, I found myself craving something new so I gave Maybelline's Super Stay 14hr Lipstick a go.

The creamy consistency means that you can manipulate the colour achieved some what- if you smudge it a little once applied you end up with this super luscious pink berry shade which is awesome for a down-stated day time look, but I personally love layering it up to achieve this rich purpely shade.

Because it dries so quickly - a BIG plus in my eyes - the shade can easily be built up, darker and darker. I'm wearing three coats above. Whilst yeah, it does still rub off a little, I've found that to maintain the deep shade I adore I need only reapply every couple of hours at the least... I can quite easily apply the colour when I leave the house in the morning and still look fine when I come home. 

This really is one awesome formula!

You can buy the lipstick and shade in most highstreet drugstores at about £5 - which isn't too shabby for all day coverage!

What are your favourite lipsticks? Which shades do you love the most?
