Graduation 2014 : BSc. Psychology (Special) w/ Criminology Minor

Friday 24th October 2014 - My UWI Graduation Ceremony

Me!! XD

3 years have come and gone since I first entered The University of The West Indies BSc. Psychology (Special) programme and it was by far one the most stressful  but rewarding experiences of my life. A lot has happened in those 3 years, that helped me grow and become the person am I today. I've made some amazing new friends and reinforced some of my oldest friendships through it all. I'm so grateful for the support of all of my family and friends over the years and I will continue to pursue Psychology til the very end. Clinical Psychology Masters programme I look forward to you in September of 2015, until then....I need a job!

So now that sappiness is over with let's get onto the makeup! I kept the makeup and hair fairly simple, not because I overslept and was running behind time *facepalm* I had one job!

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 (^__^)/

Makeup Review/Thoughts : L.A. Colors Hydrating Lipsticks

 Review/thoughts and things time! XD

Hello everybody, how have you been? Today I'm going to spill some words at your faces concerning the L.A Colors Hydrating Lipsticks. I have four of these guys and they are super hydrating and moisturising.

L.A. Girl Hydrating Lipsticks
1. Blush  2. Red Velvet  3. Bare  4. Mauvelous

 About the Product

• Texture
• Super creamy
• Lightweight on the lips

• Wear Time:  2-3 hours
• Leaves the slightest tint of colour on the lips 
• Does not last through eating or drinking 
• The colour wears from the center of the lip (no bueno)

• Pigmentation
• True to colour 
• Very buildable 

• Cost
• Affordable as heck - I paid TT$12!

Swatches: From Left to Right

1.  Red Velvet
2. Mauvelous 
3. Blush
4. Bare 

With Flash

No flash

 My Favourite(s): Mauvelous and Blush are my mains. I haven't been into my red lippies as much these days so Red Velvet has taken a back seat. I'm slowing getting into wearing Bare because nude lipstick terrifies me!

This is quite a short post but don't fear I will be back with more blog post. I have a ton of ideas, I just procrastinate a lot! *hides face* I'm working on developing a posting schedule to make things easier for myself as opposed to randomly posting during the week at odd times. Feel free to follow me on social media, links are to the right hand side of the page and until next time stay happy, stay positive and stay healthy!

Bye-Bye (UwU)/

August Favourites

It's the end of August and I was just bombarded by the fact that 10 years ago today, at the age of 12, I started Secondary School........I feel so old!!!!!! (-____-'')......
Alright, I need to stop feeling sorry for myself and get onto my favourite products from last month.

Skin Care:

• Garnier Nutritioniste Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream - I'm pleasantly surprised by this product. It's my first time using a gel moisturiser and I must say I love that it doesn't make me look exceedingly shiny. My face doesn't feel oily at all, it feels hydrated and soft. A big yes to this product especially if you are an oilier individual and if you have drier skin, I do believe Garnier makes a formula specific for dry skin.

• L'Oreal Youth Code Serum - I mentioned this in my skincare empties a while back and nothing has changed, I still absolutely love this product and will continue to repurchase it. It truly fades dark spots and dark marks, it leaves the skin looking luminous and it's just a great product. Highly recommend! 

Makeup:

•   Avon UltraGlazewear lip glosses - I hauled these a while back and these two glosses have rekindled my love of lip glosses. For the past 2 years I gave up on lip glosses because I could not stand the sticky and gunky feeling of some of the glosses I owned, so I went exclusively to lipsticks. However, these bad boys have converted me. The shades I own are rich Raspberry (left) and Palm Beach Pink (right). The colours are beautifully pigmented, slightly tacky but not sticky, and they wear beautifully. They've been living in my handbag ever since I bought them and I really do want to get more of these glosses. Avon keep up the awesome work with the makeup products, I love'em!

• Avon AeroVolume Mascara - This mascara I've been using for just over a month now and I do like it, however it's not the best mascara I've ever used but it's good. It thickens the lashes and adds a decent amount of volume. It's not the outrageous volume you would expect from something named AeroVolume, but it's more volume than a natural lash look but it's not super dramatic.

• Real Techniques brushes - I've been lusting over these brushes for so long and now that I finally own them, I can see why so many people love them. They are AH-MAZE-BALLS!! Super soft and plush, the Expert Face brush blends and buffs foundation like a dream. However, it's the Fine Liner brush that takes my heart. It tales the work out of applying gel liner. It picks up just enough product for a full application to the eye, without the need for constantly dipping the brush back into the product and  it makes doing winged liner so much easier. I will not be surprised if my brush collection slowly starts developing into a Real Techniques shrine.

Videogames:

•  Sims 3 - I've recently started back playing the Sims 3 and I forgot how easy it was to just get sucked into that game for hours on end. The Sims 4 will be released later this month and I know that I need to buy it....goodbye non-existent social life!

• Pokémon Y - I'm going to become a Pokémon master no matter how long it takes me! I've been breeding and trading Pokémon in a desperate attempt to complete the Pokédex before the release of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, hopefully I can get it done in time *fingers crossed*

 I've been pretty slow on finishing a couple of books I've been reading. I need to finish The Hobbit, The Percy Jackson Series as well as Philip Zimbardo's Lucifer Effect (because Psychology lol). Doctor Who is the only thing I watch on television lately and I must say I'm loving Capaldi.

Anywhosers, that's it for this post, hope you all enjoyed. Feel free to tell me some of your faves in a comment and until next time, stay happy, healthy and positive and I'll see you soon.
