what's in my makeup bag?

So today I thought I would share with you what I carry in my makeup bag at all times, whether I'm at home or away. 

1. The makeup bag: This floral makeup bag was a birthday present from a friend which I received last month. It's from primark and I think it was only a couple of quid but I'm not sure if its in stock anymore. 
2. Makeup Brushes: I currently have the following whilst I'm staying with family: real techniques buffing brush, expert face brush(my love), contour brush, detailer brush and elf's foundation brush which I haven't shown in the picture because it's so messy.
3.Foundation: mac studio sculpt in NW20 along with mac studio fix powder again in NW20. 
4. Concealer: collection long lasting concealer which is raved about I have the lightest shade, I think. 
3. Mascara: I've literally just swapped back to my old/new maybelline falsies from benefit bad gal lash. 
4. Primer: Benefit pore-fessional. 
5. Blusher: Benefit blusher in hervana
6. Eyeshadows: I have the Naked palette which I adore, along with two cream eye shadows one from forever 21 in shiitake (which I don't know whether it's available in the UK) and a maybelline colour tattoo in pomegranate. 
7. Eyebrow kit: elf eye brow kit (unsure of shade). 
8.Lipsticks: mac lipsticks in angel, fabby, creme cup, japanese maple, up the amp, snob, pink plaid. As well as rimmel london long lasting intense colour balm in give me a cuddle.
9. Eyeliner: collection fast stroke.
10. Others: I just carry some scrunchies (mines from new look), urban decay all night makeup setting spray, jack wills mirror and barry m nail varnishes in both huckleburry and rose hip.

So there's a little in sight into what I have in my makeup bag. Let me know in the comments below or @emilyhan1394 of any suggestions e.g. what other makeup items I should buy or blog posts ideas.

university tips..

Following our post about our university experience we thought we would share with you a few tips both before and whilst you are at university:

1. Make sure the degree you pick is the right choice for you!
Ok so you may not know if it is for you until you start... but make sure you fully research before hand, attend opening days and speak to other students so it gives you a good idea on what to expect. If it's not the right course speak to your university they may let you swap if you find out early enough. 

2.  Join your university freshers page, course page, & accommodation!
This is honestly the best way to meet people before starting university. It is especially useful if you are nervous about meeting other people and making friends. 

3. Try and go to as many freshers events as possible!
There's no doubt that you'll university will be holding a freshers week so try and go to as many as you possibly can. The week is a great way to meet loads of people, make friends and have fun! 

4. If it's not for you it's ok to drop out!
If you are finding that you hate university and that it's not for you or wrong course its ok to drop out.  We know people who found it didn't live up to their expectations or just didn't like it and that dropping out was the best thing they did. You'll not get judged.

5. Socialise! 
Using the other above tips will really help with this one! Socialise whether you can seminars, in your flat, lectures, nights out etc. It will make making friends and your experience so much better. 

6. Remember everyone's in the same position!
If like us you thought it would be difficult to make friends, don't worry you will! Or if like us you are nervous, don't worry your not the only one! Remember all freshers are in the same position, it's a new experience for everyone (unless they are doing first year again)

5. Join a society 
Societies are a fun way to take time out from studying to do something you like.  They also give you the opportunity to make new friends. So make sure you check out your university society fair or Facebook pages. 

6. Attend Seminars!
This may sound obvious but we found that quite a few people didn't turn up to our seminars. They are a great way to clear things up talked about in lectures or what you may be confused with. Ps you may call these something else like workshops. 

7. Do the reading and prepare work!
This also sounds obvious but you don't want to be caught out by the tutor for not knowing what they are talking about.  They can pick on you so have think of something to say.

8. Do the non assessed essays!
They may seem pointless but its great practice for when you come to your main one as they offer good feedback. 

9. Revise and plan ahead!
Ok so come january and may you'll start having deadlines and exams, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time to revise or type up your essays. You don't want to leave them till last minute and panic... ps they do offer you another chance but remember it will only be a pass. 

10. Enjoy your time and work hard!
Most importantly make sure you balance having fun and work at university! You don't want to miss out on either factor of the experience whether socialising with friends or getting the grades you deserve. 

So there's some tips for you guys, hope somebody finds them useful haha. If you want to read more our previous post you can by clicking here.  And as always if you have any questions or ideas leave them in the comments below or tweet us @emilyhan1394 

Peace out!

One Direction

On Saturday 31st May, I went to go see one direction at Etihad stadium in Manchester. It was literally the best experience!, I would recommend anyone who is a one direction fan to go, its so surreal seeing such a famous boy band just metres from you.
Harry is my fave! as you can tell,  most of the pictures above feature him. But saying that, all of them are so talented and gorgeous!

What I would say is that anyone who is going to an upcoming concert or is thinking of purchasing tickets for their next tour then, you need to make sure you get there early if you want standing tickets. I was in the blue zone, standing. I got there at about dinner time, round about 12 o'clock, but if I was to do it again I would of chosen to be about an hour or two earlier, although I did get a good place as you can see, I would of preferred to have been right at the front.
Secondly don't bring too much food, we brought a cooler bag, thinking we were being smart so that we didn't have to spend too much money, when we was there however, food, drinks, cooler bags, chairs, anything like that is not allowed in the actual stadium you can have them while queuing but bring food in disposable bags because it is very difficult to leave the queue as there is so many people, and also the queue keeps moving to make more room for oncoming people which could mean that you loose your place.
and finally were light clothing, because there is so many people, even if it is a really cold day it is unbelievably hot when the concert is taking place, especially because the tour dates are mainly in summer time, I would definitely recommend to wear shorts, dresses ect.

Apart from that I had the most amazing time, I will definitely be going again.
is anyone going to an upcoming concert? ill be happy to answer any queries you have. Or if anyone has already been, I would love to hear about your experience.

Peace out, Em!
