Edinburgh Baby!

I have some amazing friends.
Made evident by the events that led me to have a free 3 days in Edinburgh the other week.

Long Story Short.
If someone* offers you a free lift and 3 paid for nights in a hostel.
Don't turn it down.
Get in their car, get in their car and never look back.

*exceptions - if that someone is unsavoury or shifty lookin', in the words of MJ, do think twice.

Because my trip was so very last minute, despite the Fringe being on i didn't see any theatre. I decided to use my time to chill out. It's not that the last couple months has been manic or anything, quite the opposite, but a bit of time to check in with yo' self is always valuable and lord knows the next couple months will be crazy, so i'm logging in those chill out hours now!

I visited Holyrood Park, strolled around Edinburgh City Centre (a-lot), hit up the National Museum and managed to spend one evening with the friend who took me up there (she was visiting her sister so i was kinda dropped off and left to my own devices mostly).

Our evening out was one of the best i've had in a long time. After meeting up we left to find somewhere to eat and just as we did torrential, crazy ass rain started. Because we were wet and cold we dived into the first good looking restaurant we saw which turned out to be an amazing Italian (after an extensive google session i'm 99% it was The Patio on Hanover St.) and then we headed to Jekyll & Hyde for drinks and some free comedy. The pub is a must see if you're ever in the area, it's a Halloween lovers paradise, you have to go through a book case door to get to the loo! The comedy we saw was hilarious and because i am a walking cliche of a drama student i ended up "on stage", typical!

Anyway, before i get stupidly caught up in sharing every last detail.
I'll stop.

I had an amazing time.
And i fucking love random opportunities.

Beauty Post: Good Things

So me and my skin have a love //  hate relationship. I love it because it y'know, encases all of my muscles, bones and organs and i hate it because it seems intent on being an ass.
"An ass you say?" Let me explain.
Actually, I'll skip the BORING details and just say i have quite sensitive combination skin that doesn't like 90% of what i put on it.
Good Things however, is in the 10% that Mz Face can deal with.

I love these three products, a whole lot. My favourite probably being the moisturiser. So I'll start with that.

 I wouldn't say it makes me skin shine free but in general it's just a lovely moisturiser (and i have never had a mattifying product that worked on me for more than an hour, ever, so i'm not dissapointed on that front really.). Once I've rubbed it in and left it for a couple, my skin is soft and makeup glides on. It smells lush and yeah, i just like it a lot!

Second favez is the scrub which also smells good, but very very sweet, and works really well with my Clarisonic.

 It's so gentle but cleans really well and leaves my face soft but not dried out. A little goes a long way with the Clarisonic but using it "manually" might take a bit more product.

Last but not least is my latest Good Things purchase. The Deep Pore Cleanser.

 It says it's anti-blemish but I can't comment on that because A] I haven't been using it long enough and B] I'm fairly lucky in that i don't break out often at all. What i can say however is that a really small amount of this removes crap of my face and tones at the same time so it's perfect for the lazy times :) Oh and like the other two it smells lovely!

The price of these ranges from £4.99 to £7.99 which isn't super cheap but doesn't totally burn a hole in my wallet either, and they last hella long so i'm cool with it :) If you've got sensitive skin and like me you prefer more natural products then i can't recommend this brand enough, everything is paraben, sulfate and mineral oil free and on top of that it's suitable for vegans and veggies too.

Good Things, why yes they are.

(ahaha, my dad would make that closing statement, kill me, kill me now.)

LEGGINGS:PRIMARK TOP:DOROTHY PERKINS BLACK VEST:H&M BOOTS:DR MARTENS CARDI:EVANS

I lost my shit when i saw these leggings in Primark. How long have i wanted galaxy/nebula print stuff? ONLY, LIKE, FOREVER! FOREVER!

Just look at them:

I HAVE THE UNIVERSE ON MY LEGS!

Sometimes, just sometimes, the answer to my happiness is in Primark.

I'm a Bore, Mostly

 

 

HOODY:PRIMARK JEANS&T-SHIRT:DOROTHY PERKINS

So, this is pretty standard hoody/tee/jeans combo. I'm wearing it a lot of late, to the point i might have to implement a Mean Girls Fashion Rule, y'know jeans once a week kinda thing.

This hoody is my absolute favourite thing ever and i want all the other colours and it's actually Primark Men's because all good hoodies come from the section made for dudes. But hell, if 14 year old emo boyz can buy women's jeans then damn it i can buy a hoody that is supposedly somehow different because it;s made for a bloke...

The next couple of pictures are me attempting to show you mt Barry M Mint Green Nails and the shoes i would wear if i was leaving the house.

I am such a dufus. I <3 it.

 

EDIT: TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT TODAY IS MY BLOG'S 2ND BIRTHDAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUST MY BUTTONS! :)

OMG! SHOES

Right now seems to be one of those rare periods of time where i can actually find shoes i like in my size (that i don't have to sell my organs to afford). Because, y'know, i'm not a fan of kitten heels and comfort fit so wide size 9's that don't make me dry heave are about as easy to come across as a needle in a haystack.

SHOES:NEW LOOK -  £17.99 (-10% student discount)
