It's 2015 : Happy New Year!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Happy New Year to each and everyone of my amazing readers. I've been ill for the most of December and rang in the new year with a hard cough and slight fever while comforting my pup who is absolutely terrified of fireworks. I hope you all have a great year ahead of you. I wish you all health, prosperity and positivity in this upcoming year.

I'm not one to make new year's resolutions, however, I am going to make a promise to make a post once a week, most likely on Fridays and it will be a mix of the beauty and makeup as well as my gamer/nerdy loves or any random thoughts or rants I may have on a particular subject, while maintaining positivity.

The reason I created my blog, was to have a space to be free, to be myself in all my nerdy, weird and makeup addicted glory! In the few months of running my blog, I'm happy to say I've been able to do that. I've become so much happier with the person I am simply because I'm not hiding the fact that I love video games, comics and marathoning Lord of The Rings and Star Wars while simultaneously embracing my love of makeup and making recommendations to others about stuff I love.

I really want in 2015, to be more active with my blog, so I bought myself a new compact flash memory for my T3 and I've been busy snapping away, preparing for new post, so be on the lookout for those very soon.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I shall see you all very soon!
As always stay happy, healthy and positive,
Bye (^_^)/

Favourites! September and October Combined

Hey guys, today it's going to be all my favourite products from both September and October. The reason why it's a combined favourites is my camera's Memory cards died towards to beginning of October and I ended up losing all my pictures for September :(

September and October Favourites

L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Amber Rush

1. Milani Powder Eyeshadow in Brown Stone. A completely matte dark brown shadow that I use to fill in my eyebrows. It's velvety smooth and pigmented, but I think it may have been discontinued and I've hit pan. (-_-')

2. Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 107. It is a beautiful matte berry red. Glides on like butter and it doesn't budge after application. Highly recommend. 

3. L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner 24HR in Blackest Black. I've had this for approximately 6-7months and it remains super creamy which makes it a breeze to apply. It's also very waterproof and smudge proof, I've walked through rain with this thing on and it didn't move. Mine is yet to show any signs of drying out so if you've been looking for a gel liner, you should give this one a go!

4. Beauty Treats Professional 88 Palette 

This palette is great for a novice with eyeshadow and it's also great if you really enjoy neutral eyeshadows like I do. Now some of the eyeshadows are smooth, some are powdery but not chalky at all. They are fairly pigmented and easy to blend. If you're a teenager and new to makeup and you want an affordable neutral eyeshadow palette, you should give this a try. 

5. Avon Big Daring Volume Mascara

One coat and my lashes are plump and volumised...ummm..yes please, give me more! The brush is a similar shape to Maybelline The Falsies but it's larger and has more bristles on it compared to The Falsies. It's a dark, rich black but for me the only drawback is that it's an extremely wet formula. However, when it dries it's smudge proof so it gets a thumbs up. 

6. L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow Amber Rush 

This particular shade in the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow line has quite the following from bloggers, to Youtubers, to celebrity makeup artist and it's not hard to see why. It's an extremely pigmented pinkish-tan colour and it's absolutely beautiful. it has the look and feel of a pressed pigment, super creamy, blends easily and if you apply it correctly i.e. with your fingers instead of a brush, there is no fallout. 

I used this pigment on and off since I bought it in the later half of 2013, however I used it recently for my graduation portrait and it just looked so beautiful I had to include it in this combined favourites post.

Games 

World Of Warcraft 

I took the plunge into WoW and I'm hooked. I'm still a complete noob but I'm learning the ropes and enjoying every minute of it. 

Diablo 3 

Yes I've only now started playing Blizzard games, does that mean I have to turn in my nerd card? I only have the starter edition of Diablo 3 but rest assured I will be splurging on both DIablo 3 and Reaper of Souls for my birthday. Gotta treat myself ;) 

my only problem with playing both of these games is my crappy internet connection...sighsss

Television

Doctor Who 

The new series with the 12th Doctor has come to an end and oh my goodness, the feels were too much! I was never a huge fan of clara but the last two episode tore my heart out of my chest. Clara and Danny forever :'( I will say that this series had it's up and downs in terms of the episodes themselves, some were brilliant while others were just meh. Now that this series is finished, it's time to await this year's Christmas special with Nick Frost as Santa!!! - It's not a spoiler, the pic has been going around since the finale.  

This now marks he end of another post, my next post will be about new Television shows I've been greatly enjoying.Also if there's anything specific that you would like to see more of on here, let me know, all of my social media links are posted to the right hand side of the blog. Until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you next time.

Byeeeee (^__^)/

Update : Slow Blog Post

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while and I'm sorry.

I have so many ideas for blog post but I haven't been putting them out at the rate which I want to. I've been ill off and on for the past few weeks with random sinus flare ups, migraines and tension headaches...it's been bad.
I managed however to get some photos done for my September favourites, only to have my SD card rejected by my computer. Apparently, with the latest Mac OS update, my SanDisk SD cards are no longer supported by the system. I thought I could work around it with trusty old HP mini, unfortunately my HP decided to kick the bucket the minute I booted it up ( I can't catch a break!) Until I get new SD cards or find a way to revive my Windows system, I'll have to shoot pictures for my blog with my iPhone, which means the quality is going to drop (-__-). It sucks but it's only temporary.

It's the second week of October, so I think I'll just post my very late September favourites on my Instagram and just start back pumping out some blog post in the upcoming week. (^_^)

I've been thinking about dedicating a post strictly to my favourite t.v shows, books and video games! I don't know how many people would like them but then again I really don't care, it's my blog I can post as I please. This will definitely be a series coming soon...stay tuned!

Lastly, I collected my graduation gown!! I cannot believe in 2 weeks I'll officially become a university graduate. Those 3 years flew by so quickly, it seems surreal. Those 3 years encompassed some of the best moments of my life and also some of the worse. I've made some amazing friends, which in the beginning I never thought I would be able to do. I am so happy and grateful to have such amazing people in my life.

Alrighty, that's enough sappiness for now, I may do a post about my graduation look (dress, makeup, hair) I think it might be interesting. Anywhos, that's it for this little update, I hope you all are doing well and have a great week!! Stay healthy, stay happy, stay positive and I'll talk to you guys soon.

Bye-bye (^__^)/

What's Up #4! At least I think it's #4: Update: End of Summer

Hello everyone. How have you been? It's been just about 2 weeks since my last post, yikes! I apologise for my absence but I decided that I needed to spend a little time away from the blog because I was just feeling really out of everything. I was in a bit of a glum slum, but now I'm back and I'm ready to go.
I have a few ideas for upcoming post. I'm definitely going to be posting an August Favourites, so look out for that one very soon. I'm also planning to do a lipstick post focusing on the L.A Colors Hydrating Lipsticks, I don't know when I'll be posting that one but I'm hoping it will be within the next week.

This week I signed up to take part in a makeup workshop and I'm super excited. We'll be learning some tips and tricks from a professional makeup artist and of course I'll be very willing to share some of what I learn with everyone. I'm also going to use this experience with the workshop to gauge if I really would like to look into makeup artistry as a profession. Although my heart belongs to psychology and my dream is to become a Forensic Psychologist, there's no rule dictating that I can't be a freelance makeup artist also. Who knows, freelancing as a makeup artist can help me pay for my Masters and I do love makeup, everything about it, which is one the main reasons I started this blog in the first place.

Now, most people love summer since it's a great time to go partying and hang out with friends or go clubbing. I love summer because of conventions. Now I've never been to a convention but I want to go so badly! Comic-Con and PAX Prime...I'll see you someday, I will find a way to you *sniffle*. I'm so excited for the announcement of new games, the launch of game trailers, I mean have you seen the Pokken announcement! A Tekken style, Pokemon fighting game....shut up and take my money! Also, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be launching soon!!<---(Pokemon Nerd I am!) A new Saints Row was announced today and yes I want it! I'm also wanting to get my hands on Minecraft because believe it or not I've never played it but all summer I've been hooked on Minecraft thanks to a series known as Mianite (#TeamIanite for life!) If you've never heard of Mianite, I highly recommend you check it out, it involves a bunch of awesome YouTubers and it's just so much fun to watch.

The lasst thing on my mind is.....Doctor Who! DOooooooo Weeeeeeeee Doooooo! (yes I had to do that!) The new season/series has started and I honestly like the darker vibe of Capaldi's Doctor. I'm not going to spoil the episode if you haven't seen it yet, but I think it was a good introduction of the 12th Doctor and I can't wait to see what the rest of the series has in store. (Please Steven Moffat, don't have too many feels inducing moments, my fragile emotions can't handle it!)

Anyways, that's enough rambling from me for now, so until my August Favourites post, I'll talk to you all very soon and as always, stay positive, stay healthy and stay happy.
Bye (^_______^/)
