jumper - Primark, leather leggings - Miss Selfridge, rings - Topshop, necklace - Warehouse

This is my last outfit from home, sniff sniff! The next outfits after this one will all be with my not so nice uni room background, so please bare with me; the background won't be nearly as nice as this one but unfortunately its what I'll have to make do with, sorry in advance if you don't like the new background!

Anyway I found this jumper while wondering through Primark one day, something I have been doing a lot lately while on a tighter budget, and I fell in love with the mottled pattern. I think it makes this jumper look so much more expensive than it is. Paired with my trusty leather leggings; I have seriously be wearing these around 3 times a week at the moment, they're just so easy to wear and go with virtually anything!

Now I'm one of those people who is always on the look out for the holy grail product and moisturiser is always one of those products I just don't have much luck with. I have v.oily skin and so I need a really light moisturiser to apply at night; I don't think I would every get away with applying moisturiser in the morning, my face would be slick central by 11! Anyway I was browsing in the beauty department in Tesco a few weeks ago, buying cheap university supplies when I stumbled across this moisturiser by Amie. Now I had heard of Amie before but I knew literally nothing about the brand, I simply recognised the name. I was drawn to the fact it said Matte-Finish on the front, always a sucker for anything thats going to make my skin matte I couldn't resist. When I got to the checkout the price came up on the screen and I couldn't believe it, £1.63!!! Yep thats right, this moisturiser was £1.63. After that I wasn't really expecting much to be honest but I thought I'd give it a fair go.

Onto the review, this moisturiser is free from parabens, sulphates, mineral oils and animal extracts and contains natural extracts such as vitamin E, billberry and rosehip, which I thought sounded pretty damn good! Its claims to leave skin soft and shine-free and I can't say I disagree. The feel of this moisturiser is so light and its a dream to blend into the skin, it leaves no residue and leaves a matte, yet soft, finish almost immediately. I was seriously impressed! After using this for three weeks now I am just as in love with it as I was when I first tried it, a really beautiful product. One thing that may be a problem for some people is that it is perfumed, now I personally don't mind this at all, the scent is actually quite fresh and soothing, but I know some people hate perfumed products, so definitely avoid this if thats you. For the rest of you however, run and grab this now!

You can get this in Superdrug, just not on the website, or you can buy this direct from the Amie website for £4.95 (don't ask how I got it for £1.63, I'm really not sure!)

I think I have finally recovered from Freshers flu, thank goodness for that, seriously I have hated having a cold, sore throat and everything that comes with it. Also to plan for Winter I had a flu jab, what fun aha, but I got swine flu a couple of years ago and it was nasty so I just don't want to get flu again!
Anyway this is another outfit from back home, as you can probably tell from the background, I had forgotten how many outfits I had saved up, I obviously wasn't on the ball with posting them aha. I think there may only be one more after this though. I have found a place to take photos in my new room but the background isn't nearly as nice but it'll have to make do:)
I officially started my lectures today and I was actually pretty excited, I really enjoyed them. Although I have been given tons of work to do :( aha oh well.

I hope you guys had a great weekend:)

So recently I've been looking for a slightly more moisturising alternative to the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer for under my eyes, which was starting to look a little bit cakey and dry. However I also wanted something that wasn't too moisturising as you all probably know by now that I have extremely oily skin. I heard the Collection Illuminating Touch concealer being mention in someone's blog (i can't remember which, sorry!) and though that since I loved the Lasting Perfection concealer so much I would give this one ago.

It really is lovely, the consistency is very creamy and it moisturises just enough and really makes my eyes so much brighter (life saver at the moment aha!). It doesn't provide much coverage but usually enough to cover dark circles. The packaging is a twisty tube which at first I thought was broken because it took ages for the first bit of concealer to come out aha! This has now been added to my list of concealers that I need! I've also recently been adding a dot of the Lasting Perfection concealer under each eye just to provide a bit more coverage, unfortunately the Illuminating Touch hasn't been enough to cover 6 days of going out dark under-eye circles:(, still for a normal week this is perfect!
