Very Quick, Very Boring Update...

Well hello everyone! 

Long time no see ay? 

So just a quick catch up, I've been studying like crazy for college and trying to get my head together to do client lesson and such as well as still trying to fit in at college, that's the difficult part.. The revising is easy, making friends however..... Yeah you know! 

Anyway, My make up obssession is growing out of control! I have bought at least 15 products in the last month!! I know, what is wrong with me?! But I love it haha.. I don't even care!! I also bought a brand new vanity case which arrived today (26th Feb) and it looks a little something like this.. 

Beautiful isn't it.. I could just about fit all of my Urban Decay, L'Oreal, Rimmel and Max Factor products in it and the weight of this thing is freakin' unbelievable!! I lifted it to put it on my desk and I damn near broke my arm! Haha.. 

Other than that I've been looking after my mum as she's disabled and just going through my day to day life really, nothing exciting unfortunately but I am hoping to upload some new blogs soon.. Maybe some reviews or one about my new piercing, not sure but hang tight! 

So that was a very quick and very boring update on my sad little life, hope you enjoyed!! 

Loads of hugs coming your way from me, see you guys later!! Xoxoxo 

My New Rook Piercing!!

Hey everyone!!! 

Its been a very long time since my last blog and it's mainly because I've been ill and busy with college and with the job centre, so I haven't really had time to do anything. But I'm hoping that's all gonna change now..

So todays blog will be about my (newish) Rook Piercing!! So far, I've had it for a month and a day! 

 (It's the long barbell)

Now, before I start I have to tell you how much this hurt!! Before I went to go get this done, I had watched youtube videos of people getting it done, and some of them would say how much it would hurt or sometimes you could just read their facial expression and just automatically know how much it hurt haha, so at first i was just nervous but I love piercings so I couldnt wait to get it done. 

I went to my piercers and luckily one of my old friends was there to do it for me, she also did my Tragus piercing.. she had told me that it was gonna hurt and thats mainly because the needle is going through the thickest bit of cartilage in the ear, it's only a step down from fully formed bone.

So, I got marked up and was ready for the needle. When she pushed it through I felt like my ear was on fire haha, it was like a more intense pain than my tragus (which really hurt). But we then had toput the barbell in and that hurt even more! I actually had to make a sound it hurt that much, you'd then think the pain ended there... nope.. the ball was next and talk about being fiddley, it didn't hurt that much but it didnt help haha. After about 5 minutes of trying to get the all on, I was good to go!

So now all I have to do is take care of it, but i wasnt prepared for the next bit I have to say. The next day I was fine, I wasn't in any pain, it wasn't sore or red. I thiought that this was gonna be a breeze, until thew second night.. Thats when it started, it started to get red and swell slightly but I thought it would last a few hours then go down, but how I was wrong. The next day it started to swell and was bleeding slightly and I didnt know why, I was cleaning with salt water as usual twice a day, I was getting worried but  everyone including my piercer friend was saying it was normal because it was a thick bit of cartilage, so had to force myself to relax and take some pain killers (which helped).. 

The swelling was getting worse everyday as well as the pain and I was convinced it was infected, I even got my mum to look at it everyday to make sure and every time she would say the same thing "it's clean Nicole, just swollen and red. it's not infected!" This lasted the best part of a weeks and it was very painful, all this happened in the space of about 3 weeks ago and now i'm perfectly fine! no redness, no blood, no pain, it looks normal.. and it's so beautiful and the pain was completely worth it in my opinion, I have to clean it everyday, twice a day for at least the next 3 months. I dont even care, I love taking care of things and this is one of them! So worth it! 

I would recommend it if you love piercings like this, but make sure your up for the pain thats involved. but then again, in saying that you could be different and your body could react differently to it but justr be careful and if you want anymoreinformation about the Rook Piercing just ask and i'll try my best to answer it!!!

I hope you enjoyed ready this as much as I enjoyed typing it and i'll see you in the next blog guys!!! xoxoxo

Rimmel Lasting Finish Review.

Hellooooo everyone!! 

It has been quite a while since I did a review on a beauty product, that's mainly because I haven't been able to afford much the past 6months. 

But last week (I believe), I purchased the Rimmel Lasting Finish collection which consists of the Primer, Foundation and Powder. I only bought it because I wanted a make up range for travel that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg and thankfully Boots was doing a special offer and I got it even cheaper!!! 

I used to use Rimmel when I was younger and starting to experiment with make up and such, my mum thought it was a good brand to start with because it was cheap. Not gonna lie, I liked it.. Especially their "Hide The Blemish" concealer stick haha.. I used to cover my whole face in that!!! I know right haha.. I actually bought another one when I collected the Lasting Finish order and it's still very good! I would recommend that. 

So first of all I'm gonna start with the Lasting Finish Primer. 

As you can see, it comes in an attractive red and white tube. The product itself comes out white and almost looks like your regular moisturising cream or sun block, it's not thick or greasy as I expected but light weight and smooth. It spreads really well I find and doesn't leave a residue behind, this primer can be used by itself or under your regular make up routine. Not gonna lie, it's pretty good. 

Next, we'll have a look at the Lasting Finish Foundation. 

Now.. From my experience ( a century ago), Rimmels foundation wasn't very good for me personally and I think it had a lot to do with going through puberty, it reacted badly and made my skin oily and just not nice. So at first I was hesitant to buy it but being older now, I know my skin is so much better! 

Again, like the primer it's light weight. It doesn't feel greasy or anything like that, the pigment is really good and spreads like a dream whether your using a foundation brush or sponge, (I prefer my sponge in all honesty). Now, this formula is supposed to be water proof based. Meaning that any sweat, heat and humidity will not make it slide off and I have to admit, it works!! I cried the first day I used it and it's didn't smudge, wipe off or anything so i am so impressed!! 

Finally, we have the Lasting Finish Powder. 

This powder is really good, again it's light weight and doesn't clog your pours! This is also waterproof based so it's adds more protection over the foundation, this feels so good on your skin, it's soft and smooth and (I know this is weird) it smells so fricking good! It's got a perfume smells to it, it's dreamy.. But don't think that because it smells of perfume that it will effect your skin because it won't, I panicked at first because I have sensitive skin but I totally forgot it was on my face.. I didn't react at all.. 

These 3 together are amazing and I looked so good! 

As a side note, the primer makes your foundation last 8 hours longer than usual and the the foundation and powder last up to 25hours. But the longest I've had it all on for was 3 hours haha, so wether it's lasts a day and an hour I have no idea! I trust that it does though. 

So my sweeties, until next time. Love you guys!! Xoxoxo 

(This is just a regular review from my personal experience, don't think I was made to do this haha.) 

Nude Pictures?? WHY?!

Afternoon guys, 

Today blog is basically about why people now, feel the need to post/send this horrible revealing pictures to other people. This is mainly a rant on my part. 

For the last few years, I have been trying to be social and trying to find that person of my dreams. I'm not a social person by nature so by me trying is a big thing, I download different apps to chat to people and try to make new friends and so far it hasn't happened. Every time I have people add me I get excited and think of what kind of friend I'm going to make, then I get a message and open it and what do I find? Someone has sent me a picture of their "body parts".. WHY?! It's unnecessary! 

Why would they assume that that is what I want to see? I just want to have a friendly chat with someone and that's completely impossible now, like today.. I asked people to add me on snapchat and almost instantly I get adds so I accept them and say hello.. This morning I opened the replies and to my surprise I see a penis on one of them with the caption "Do you like dick pics?" .... That was an instant block right here, again what was the mandatory for him to do that? 

Things like this worry me because I feel I'm never gonna find someone if everyone keeps doing shit like this, I'm not social for this very reason now, it's disgusting. If it's not the pictures then they wanna know what my sex life is like and that's none of their business, why should I tell you these things? Why can't you just ask what my favourite film is or book? Why do you need to know? How messed in the head are you? 

I give up and I don't want to, I want to be social bs meet new people but I just can't trust them enough to have a civil conversation now, I know I sound really old and the truth is I'm only 21 and feel like all guys should be civil and considerate and basically act like a gentleman! If someone knows of anyone who actually behaves like a gentleman then please, pray tell. Until then, all men are vile and I'm not just gonna single out the men.. Women are like this as well, they don't respect themselves like thy should, it's a down right shame that this is happening.. I wish it would stop. 

Well, I think I've made my point today and I think I better stop as well because I'm gonna go on forever about this subject.. My final note to all the people that do this: Please stop, it's not necessary and in called for. Just talk to the person, treat them like a human. Your better than that. 

I love and care for you all, see you in the next blog guys!! Xoxoxo

My "What I Call" Week!

Hello everyone!! 

Sorry it's been a while since my last blog but I've been pretty much stuck in a long daze, with losing my job, college and job centre. 

My week has consisted of revising, passing exams, job hunting and saving what little money I have. It's not easy but I went to sign on today, so hopefully I'll get paid! I still can't believe how stupid these people are! The first thing they asked was "Why are you here again?" Like what do you think?! For my health! I don't know why I bother with them, in fact I hate them but unfortunately I need the funds. I still feel disgusted with myself that I'm with them, I shouldn't have to have trouble looking for a job!! I just hope I never appear on fucking Jezza Kyle, he'd have a field day! 

Other than that, I wish I had more to say today but I unfortunately don't.. I don't think..

.... Nope, not this time but I just didn't want you to think I had abandoned my blog again haha. I love writing these so much and watching my views go up makes me feel happy :). OH!!! I almost forgot! I passed my Manicure summative (assessment) today (3rd Feb) with a distinction !! I'm so proud of myself, I had a really good client today aswell which helped me a lot! 

But yeah other than passing my exams and assessments with flying colours, not much uas happened. I hope my next blog isn't as rambling as this one has turned out to be haha, so I guess I'll see you then guys! 

I feel better now I had that rant earlier haha.. 

Have a great night! Xoxoxo
