What I'll look like in 10 years if I Drink too much :/

This week Me and a friend of mine decided to take a day trip out to Glasgow's Science centre. Both of us (now in our mid 20's) haven't visited the Science centre since we were children, and if I'm honest I was a little worried that I was going to be disappointed that is wasn't going to be quite as epic as my 7 year old self remembered! 

We arrived just after Lunch during the week so thankfully the centre wasn't too crowded and overrun with screaming children so we got to play on pretty much everything! The staff were amazingly helpful and friendly all throughout our visit and this defiantly isn't just a place for children!! The top floor help the most fun for myself! They currently have a live bodyworks exhibition where you can scan a card, insert your details into a computer system and interact with all the different games and track your scores, weather it is your height, how fast you can sprint or how lightly you can jump. My personal favourite exhibit was a 2 player game that was centred around mind control. two players took to the opposite end of the table with a ball placed in the middle, they place a band containing electrodes around their head and the less active your brain was (the more calm you were) the more the ball would move towards the opposite players direction! After recently getting into meditation I was an ace at this game, and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. My friend and I lost complete track of time and spent well over 2/3 hours around all the different levels!

Overall I had an amazing day out. even thought the science centre isn't perhaps the cheapest attraction to visit in Glasgow, if you are going to pay for one tourist attraction I think it is well worth the money!

Have any of you visited the Glasgow Science Centre?

Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick | 'Hot Plum' | 906

"WHY AM I NOT CARRIE BRADSHAW!?"

'Hot Plum' | 906 | Maybelline New York

Swatch | 'Hot Plum' lipstick

Bad light | Good lipstick :)

My Carrie inspired look

So in between vast amounts of uni work, i have been filling any spare minutes addicted to 'The Carrie Diaries".  I didn't think it would be all that good until I caught the young Miss Bradshaw wearing a jumper I own that!! It made me look at my current uni ensemble (leggings, baggy jumper, no make-up and scraped up hair) and think....what happened?! I LOVE dressing up, but over the past month I have had to make school my priority.....but with my thesis almost done and my last presentation a matter of days away... I can taste the freedom (and lipstick)!

I jumped into my make-up bag this morning and slapped on this colour sensation lipstick my Maybelline in shade 'Hot Plum' (No. 906). I bought it a few months back and still haven't had a chance to wear it out so what better day than today! 

During A/W I always head for reds, but hey, I've lost an hour of sleep so that mean S/S14 and pink lips right?!

The colour pay off was awesome and although it transferred off quite a bit, I just love the colour so much! perfect if you are feeling a little but 80's

What is your favourite Spring/Summer lip colour?

Barry M's Limited Edition Summer Nail Paint... Get Them While They Are Hot....Pink!

Barry M Nail Paint - Limited Edition | 'Pink' 2013 Summer

Summer is pretty much over, most stores have ditched the BBQ gear and halloween themed candy is already filling the shelves but thankfully you can still grab this lavish limited edition summer nail paint in 'PINK' (yes... that is all it's called?!) This was the first Nail Paint that I picked up since returning to the UK in May and i have fallen head over heels for the shade and its application - It keeps a slight translucency so you can still see the whites of your nails even though the colour is pretty pigmented. I am a hard core lover of black outfits and I am truly devoted to bright, borderline neon, nails to brighten up my outfits... and on rainy days! So quick guys... go down and grab yourself this nail paint while you still can!! only £3.99 from Superdrug and Boots. 

What has been your 'go to' summer shade that you are going to miss this A/W??

OOTD | Last of the Summer Sunshine

Got a wee Outfit of the Day for you. It's been raining pretty much all week here in Glasgow and its been depressing. But, out of the blue this Saturday, the sun came out!

 Whoop Whoop

To make the most of the last of the sun this Summer I donned some pink lipstick a dress with a thin jumper and heels and spent a lovely afternoon shopping with Friends in the West End. 

Lips : Body Shop in 'Neon Pink'

Dress : H&M |  £7.99

Tights: Primark |£4

Jumper: Red Herring @ Debenhams | £5

Boots: boohoo.com | £15

Neon Summer Lips | The Body Shop 'Neon Pink'

Neon Pink Colourglide Lipstick

Shade: 59

'Neon Pink' (59) | £10 | The Body Shop

During the summer I really see no point on mounting on the slap, especially with extravagant eyes if its just going to slide off! My summer staple when it comes to summer is just a hint of mascara and a bright lip, Simple but effective! After wearing my fuchsia pink lipsticks to death last summer I was on the hunt for a pink with a little difference so I picked up 'Neon Pink' in the Body Shop's 'Colourglide' range. When I saw it  in the tube I was a little skeptical, but on the lips, it contrasts perfectly with my skin tone and has enough depth in the colour that it doesn't bridge the gap into 'tacky pink lips'. For £10, its not the most lasting lipstick and I do find myself having to reapply a few times during the day, but it is pretty moisturising so perfect for lips in need of a little TLC! Over the past few months I have turned to this lipstick again and again and has become a bit of a staple in my make-up bag. It is surprisingly versatile with outfits and looks amazing not only to brighten up a dark outfit, but also seems to work with pastels! I can't say The Body Shop is one of my favourite brands for make-up but this is defiantly a colour I can see myself re-purchasing in the future so brighten up those sometimes grey summer days!

Whats your favourite summer bright lipstick??

Summer So Far | Update

Hello there!

It's almost August and where has the Summer gone!! Here in the UK, and most of Europe we have had a massive heatwave so a lot of my time has been spent out in the garden working on my sun tan and catching up with friends that I haven't seen while being away last year. 

90's Night at a Friends

Selfie!!! Caught in the Rain

This next month I will be living in Edinburgh while I work at the Traverse Theatre over the Festival. I am already super excited about all the shows that are coming this year to this particular venue and depending on how busy I get (I will be working 6 day weeks) I plan to share as much of my 'festival festivities' with you guys.

This month I am also on a bit of a health kick. After a year away I have gained a few extra pounds that I feel now is the right time to shift so I'm eating super healthy and trying to work out as much as possible! 

I Hope you guys have been keeping busy too and thats all for now
