NikkieTutorials x Too Faced Collection

The first thing I am going to say is - FABULOUS!

This is most definitely one of the best things I have EVER purchased. Nikkie Tutorials is one of my most favourite YouTuber's and when she announced she was bringing her own collection out with Too Faced I nearly died with excitement. I had to wait until two weeks after it launched with Too Faced because the collection didn't actually come to Debenhams in England until the 30th of August which was so annoying but most definitely worth the wait.

The collection includes:

• 9 gorgeous eye shadows in the shades Ivy, Sugar Coated, Frosted Yum, Irresistible, Painkiller, Makeup & Chill, Mystic Hour, Wham Bam and Wanted.
• Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer
• Highlighter in Champagne Truffle (this is actually an eye shadow from one of Too Faced eye shadow palettes but made into a highlighter)
• Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting Blush in 'Justify My Love' and 'I Will Always Love You'
• Too Faced Sketch Maker Liquid Art Liner
• Too Faced mini 'Better Than Sex' mascara in Purple
• Too Faced 'Glitterly' Glitter
• Too Faced mini Shadow Insurance eye primer

The palette includes a variety of shadow finishes which include satin, shimmer and mattes and I really do love all of them. I think there is a really nice range of colours to choose from including every day shadows and ones you would want to go crazy with. Some of the eye shadows do suffer from fallout but I can deal with that. I think the only negative thing I could say is that they are not as pigmented as I thought they would be and I wish they were considering it is Too Faced we are talking about here.

The price of this collection is only £48 in England ($56 USA) which is pretty damn good for
everything that you get. I literally put that money away into my savings just so I could get it when it came out, I really couldn't miss the launch. I think if it sold out before I was able to buy it I would have cried.

I think the pigment could be slightly better but I love the colours and I think the packaging stands out a lot and is so gorgeous. I really cannot fault the price or the packaging. You do also get a little booklet with some looks which Nikkie has created with instructions on how to complete the looks which is great for the customers especially if you have no idea what to do or are quite nervous about trying some of the eye shadows together.

Overall, I absolutely love the collection and I am so happy I bought it. Money well spent.

20 things I have learnt from University in my first year

I have finished my first year of University ALREADY and I have just started my second year which is pretty scary. I remember the first day I moved into halls and I remember counting down the days until I was moving away to University. It was one of the most exciting times of my life and I am so glad that I chose to do it. I have met some amazing people and I know some of them are going to be friends for life. I would say that this post is mainly for students who moved away or lived in accommodation or are about to move away, but I'm sure the people who didn't/aren't can still relate to some of them as some of them are about University in general.

So here are some of the things I have learnt...

1. You really will live off pasta and noodles when you barely have any money.

2. Lectures are sometimes pointless when they upload them online anyway.

3. You really don't need to purchase the books they tell you to - I passed my first year fine without purchasing any of the books. They can be useful for extra information but everything that is on the PowerPoint's, are from the books.

4. People will SERIOUSLY judge you for lots of things, even if you do no harm.

5. The people you meet there may be nothing like the friends you have back at home. I found it so hard to click with people because they were nothing like the people I had at home, but you get used to it and everything turns out fine in the end.

6. You will get homesick, even if you thought you never would. I have always hated living at home and always loved my own space but I really did get homesick quite a lot and just wanted to be with my family sometime when I was upset.

7. BUDGET. Everyone thinks they are rolling in money whenever they get their student finance, I definitely did, but you haven't actually got as much as you think you do as it has to last you till you get your next finance which is in 3 months. You forget that you have to pay for your own food and other things and that you're actually by yourself now and don't have your family around you. So, keeping an eye on your money is really important.

8. It's time to learn to grow up and learn to stand on your own two feet because it will happen one day and you won't have your student finance to help you, so I would really recommend to get a job to get you in the hang of things and to also help you out with money if you don't get a lot of student finance.

9. Other students really don't care whatsoever if it's 3am, they will still come in as noisy as ever and wake you up.

10. It's no good saying "First year doesn't count." because you will be gutted if you don't pass your first year because it gets you into second year! (luckily I got into my second year)

11. Sort your house out for second year early, so you can get the best house before they are all gone! Me and my friends have got one of the nicest houses ever and we are so happy we were able to get it in time before it was taken by someone else.

12. Emptying the bins is disgusting.

13. You will meet so many dickheads.

14. Skipping a lecture is so easy especially when you only have to be in one for an hour for the whole day.

15. Doing the washing was so much effort if you didn't have one in your flat and had to walk ages to the laundry.

16. You will sleep, eat and Netflix most of your days away.

17. Tinder becomes one of your best friends if you are single.

18. Pulling all night study sessions really is a thing, especially a few days before an exam. Make sure you revise way before instead of stressing out a few days before and cramming everything in all at once!

19. Group work is the worst thing ever.

20. Enjoy it. Overall it is one of the best experiences of your life and I would strongly recommend going to University and moving into halls. You will have so many memories and in the future you will look back on it and be so glad that you did it.
