Future Plans

So this year I'm going to be in my final year at university. There are a few things that I'd really like to do when I leave uni. These are;

1. Graduate with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Business Management
2. Get a job
3. Learn to Drive (Although this may be started/completed in my final year)
4. Buy my own house

The next few are less important, but things I would like to purchase when I start earning money;

4. Buy something Mulberry - whether that be a handbag or purse, I'll see what they have at the time, but to be honest I like so many products in there! Even considered a £60 silver keyring with an engraved classic mulberry tree, although I can't justify spending that much on a keyring when I'm still a jobless student.
5. Buy something Louis Vuitton (Possibly from Paris) - I already own a handbag which originally belonged to my mum's boyfriend's ex wife - but I'm not sure if it is real or not.

I've always liked designer brands and products but I've never been able to afford them, I see the time where I am in work as an opportunity to enjoy luxury things bought with money I have earnt myself.

What did you spend your first pay check on? And what are you saving up for if anything?

Blog Sale Feat. MODEL'S OWN POLISHES + BARRY M GLITTER DUSTS

Right, I'm not very active on here anymore, but hopefully someone will see this post and might be interested in what I have to offer!

Since I don't know if there will be much interest, I haven't taken photos, but I can do if you want to see them, just leave me a comment! :D So here's what I have:

Models Own Nail Polishes;
Blue Lagoon - Never Used/ Maybe Once  - £3

As you can see, I don't wear nail polishes very often, they mostly have just been sitting around in my drawer!

Dazzle Dusts:
All of these are either never used, or used once. None or very little product is missing than from what you would get brand new. Therefore I am selling them all for £3 each.

I also have Armani Diamonds Perfume Gift set which contains;
30ML Bottle of Perfume
75ML Body Wash
75ML Body Lotion

All have been tested, but not used as I dislike the smell, please note that I don't have the original box, I thought I would get round to using it, but I haven't. The perfume only is currently retailing in boots for £30 on it's own.

Thanks for having a look :)

Recycling Clothes & Possible Blog sale?

I've always wondered why there wasn't some magical place where you could sell your clothes back to somewhere for like half of what they are worth or something! But since such a place doesn't exist, I've decided to see how my clothes would fair selling on ebay.

I didn't think I'd get very much for my pieces, but it turns out that they aren't doing too bad! I sold a few Primark tops for like £6 when they probably cost me that in the first place!

So now I've decided whenever I want something new, I've got to find old things to sell to the value of the new thing(s)! I spent £90 on clothes the other day (which I'll do a little haul on in a few days) and I currently have made £45 from old clothes! So still got a little way to go, but it's fun!

I think the lady in the post office will start to hate me! I posted 5 things the other day! She's grumpy anyway!

I was considering selling my Armani Diamonds Perfume gift set that I got for Christmas, and maybe seeing how it does here, but since I haven't blogged in such a long time, I'm not sure how many people would look!

Comment below if you think I should do a blog sale of my clothes and bits and bobs, I might have some makeup stuff that I could sell too.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Changing Hair colour?

Right, over the last month I have been trying to dye my hair dark blonde. First I pre-lightened it which turned it bright orange with white blonde patches and some brown bits too! So I was very scared! Then I used a dark blonde dye and it went a kinda brassy ginger colour but I've been using John Freida's violet colour correcting mousse and it seems to help but then my housemates were teasing me saying it was starting to look green! So then I dyed it this colour;

106 Natural Medium Ash Blonde (left)

Next time I'm considering dying it 101 Shade Natural baby blonde because maybe then it will look like 106 is supposed to! but comparing the two colour samples, they look almost identical? Although below (right) is the colour I got when I used 106.

Here's before and after pics; I was wearing colour contacts in the before pic :P

I'm not sure if I want to dye it again or leave it this colour and use a home highlighting kit to introduce blonde into my hair.

Thoughts?

Much Love,
Emz

A year break?!

I can't believe it's been so long since I last had a blog post! I've been so busy with uni that blogging fell to the back of my mind! But now I'm really hoping that I'll remember to blog more now because it's something that I really used to enjoy!

Hope everyone is well,
Emz
