L'Oreal Color Riche Nails.

I've been refraining from doing any ~beauty posts since I started my blog; even though that's what I want to do!  There are a few reasons why; they're mainly the blogs I read and I very often buy products that I read about, and then think 'whats the point in writing about this now?', especially over products that are constantly being reviewed! (Moroccan Oil, anyone? The Claudalie skincare products are making the rounds a bit too much atm too). So, I'm going to try and write about products I've 'discovered' myself. I'm a poor student waitress so a lot of the products I buy aren't high end, although I do have the occasional splurge. Another reason is that I don't have a 'snazzy' camera to take photos with, my phone isn't even good enough which is a bit pathetic really! I will get this problem sorted out!

     So I've seen these polishes on the L'Oreal counter for a while now but avoided looking too much closer because I knew I'd want them all! And today after a further look, I am in love. All of the shades really are to die for! I only invested in one, I got 503 Addictive Plum. It's a lighter plum shade that has a bit of a 90's feel to it. My all time fave polish is Nails. Inc's Victoria, I always end up getting burgundy sort of shades! The pots are only quite small, which I think is a good thing because all of my polishes end up drying up and going cloggy anyway after a while! They also come with quite a big brush which makes things a lot easier!

     The varnishes retail in at £4.99, which I consider to be reasonable compared to Nails. Inc and Models Own, and are currently on Superdrug's 3 for 2 offer! Even though I want them all, I'm trying really hard to save atm, so I think I'll limit myself to another 3, I'm thinking 107 Beige Boheme, 605 Rive Gauche Green and 210 Shocking Pink.


Diet Update.

Yesterday was day 1 of my 'Big Summer Diet'. I fully intended for it to go well, and it did; I even went on a run; well jog.
     But today my legs are aching and my relatives who are staying with us made a BBQ and so it would have been rude not to have eaten! So now I feel like yesterday's efforts were a waste of time! I have an unhealthy relationship with food (I read far too many magazines/channel 4 documentaries...), and if I want to lose weight then I need to start saying NO!
     So tomorrow morning (even if my legs are still aching) I'm going to get up and go on another run, and I am going to steer clear from any unhealthy foods!

21.47

It has been a very long time since I last blogged, and considering I said that as soon as I'd finished uni I'd get into it, I'm not doing a very good job!!! To get myself back into it I decided to do a little wishlist of things I want :)

Firstly is this bag from Zara! I've never been into tan coloured things, and although I'm more drawn to the black version of this, I think for A/W this would be far more suitable! I've got loads of outfit ideas planned out for when it starts getting colder! (not that its warmed up yet...:S)

I know I'm probably one of the few people in the world without the latest iphone right now! I've got a blackberry atm, but the internet on it is really naff so I don't get as much use out of it as I'd like; the other phones on the market that seem very exciting, so when my contract runs out in a couple of months I think I'll be conforming with the rest of the world!

I really want a Fiat500 too! I think they're just too cute! Although this will have to stay on my wishlist sadly :( I looked up the payments on one, and along with my insurance etc, it would consume all of my money! I need to start looking at a much cheaper car really, but one day I would really like one of these!

That's probably all I want atm which isn't much! I'm in dire need of new clothes too; I went shopping earlier on this week with the intention of having a huge blowout; but nothing caught my eye which was quite frustrating! at the moment I'm working 5 or 6 days out of the week and doing nothing with the rest of my time so I suppose I should save my money! (or at least buy new PJ's / jogging pants with it).
