March Wishlist..


Hi everyone!
I have a little bit of a problem with online shopping, most of the time when I'm on my laptop and not doing work I'm staring over numerous websites finding lots of lovely little gems that I want to buy with my non-existent money! The joys of student life eh? 
These are some of the pretties I've had my little eye on.. (NB.. only some :O )


I love all of these products so much!
 Especially the Topshop necklace, I'm gutted it's sold out! I'll be praying to Mr Topshop and asking him to bring it into stores again! I'm not willing to bid online for it because the price always goes waaaay beyond the usual RRP instore.. Silly eBay! 

As for the Real Techniques brushes, I've heard so many different reports on each type so I'm bewildered about which one to get, £20.99 is good for 4, while £10.99 is dear for one.. *confused Rachel*. 
Think I might need to think about that one for a bit longer before I commit to anything!

I've already made my way through one 100ml bottle of Bioderma and my skin LOVES it! 
Looks so much healthier and it really does take all your make-up off! My trusted wipes have been cast to the side of my desk where things which aren't getting much use live... Sorry baby wipes :( 

What products are on your wishlist this month?
Do you like these types of post?
Let me know, I love finding new gorgeous things I can stare at and want to buy when I have no money... 
Also, if you know of any Topshop's close to Manchester/Liverpool/Craigavon/Belfast/Newry (weird mix I know) that have the necklace in.. Tell me, I will be your best friend forever, promise :) 

I'll chat to you all soon, hopefully with my bank balance still intact.. *closes eyes*
Loves, Rachel! x

I've been playing truant..

Recently, I've been absolutely snowed under with coursework for my Uni Degree (and I still am, the blinking thing isn't due to be handed in until Thursday...) and its been getting me down!
It's a chemistry assignment on the chemical composition of a bag of Walker's (or Lay's if you're European/American!) crisps...Not the most fun thing in the world!

Due to this and the combination of feeling homesick, missing my family & missing out on being home for my College's (from last year) formal has made me be a slight emotional wreck... Cue lots of arguments with my boyfriend due to me being a temperamental/emotional bitch!

Starting my blog has taken a bit of a back seat because of all these things, and this makes me feel guilty... But sometimes it's important to realise there's things going on out in the big real world outside of the blogosphere!

This picture from We <3 It reminded me that things can't always be hunky-dory and its helped me feel a bit more positive because I'm sure I'm not the only one missing a home cooked dinner & their double bed!

I'm seeing my boyfriend at the weekend (yay!) and we're going to film a 'My Boyfriend Does My Makeup' video which should be fun! I've also got a good friends birthday to celebrate and good old St. Patrick's day for the Irish half of me! So hopefully these things will cheer me up & give me a kick in the behind to remember to smile!

And at the end if the day it's only 11 more days until I'm home for Easter :-) YAAAY!

Do any of you get stressed out by homesickness? It really makes me on edge!
Let me know how you try and stay positive :)

Chat soon! Rachel!x
