Uni Room Tour!

Hey guys! 

So this past week i've been moving into my new university accommodation in Sunderland at the Forge and I love it!

I know that i'm one of those people who likes to be nosy and look at peoples rooms, so this is for those type of people...

Bed area:

My bed is a single with gorgeous floral bedding from Dunelm Mill, I also got a couple of matching cushions and some fluffy, pretty ones from home.

 I also added my favourite throw, from Primark as it can get pretty chilly especially with these upcoming months.

 On my bed is my favourite teddy Danny (the dog) which i've had since I was born so I had to bring him.

Excuse the laptop, i've been obsessed with re-watching all of the CSI episodes!

Wash area.

 Then behind my door is my sink/wash area. The toothbrush holder and storage pot are from Dunelm Mill also. In them obviously is my toothbrush - and Zoe's at the minute as she stays at mine quite a lot! I have my face flannels, hair brush, Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish.
I also have my tissues, because you never know when you might need them! 
My Grandma also got me the cute hand soap and moisturiser.
Then there's my hand towel which I bought from Primark.
Oh, then there's awkward me in the mirror, haha!

Wardrobe.

Beside my sink is my wardrobe, which have cute fairy lights on top from Dunelm Mill.
In the wardrobe obviously is my underwear, clothes, jackets & shoes - thank god for storage!
Then under my clothes are three gorgeous geisha girls which my best friend Zhiyin got me from China when she went away, I love them so much they really match with everything in my wardrobe.
Under them is a vintage storage basket from B&M which has my chocolate and sweet stash in. 
Beside that is my Fearne Cotton storage box which holds my nail varnishes.
Below them are my books, I only brought a selection with me: Username: Evie by Joe Sugg, Fangirl, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Love Tanya by Tanya Burr, Guardian Style and two university tips books. Then I have my magazines such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan, as well as my notebooks and folders.
Under that shelf is nothing important just my alcohol and carrier bags for shopping - haha!

 

Desk.

At the bottom of my bed is my desk and canvas board which is my favourite! 

On my board:
Some cute heart fairy lights from Dunelm Mill. 
A lot of poloroid images from the app LALALAB which I am obsessed with.
Some 'good luck' cards from various people.
Two cute motivational signs, the top one from Dunelm Mill and the bottom blue one is from Primark for only £1! 

On my desk: I have my cute pink lamp from Home Bargains.
My favourite glass with Pepsi Max in, the glass was only £1 from Primark I love them!
There's also a cute purple vintage tray what my Grandma got me, which matches 2 mugs and 2 coasters, 1 coaster is under my glass! On the tray is some mints, some small stationary bits like paper clips and pins.
On the left you will see the two stationary pots I put in my Stationary Haul Post.
There's also my sweety jar with them blue and pink bottle sweets in that are really fizzy!
My Acer tablet is also on my table which I received off my accommodation and am yet to set up and learn how to use - thanks U-Student!
There's my purse which is from New Look and my keys which have cute pictures on from Fresher's Week. 
I also have two beautiful desk planners from WHSmith, one is a To-Do List and the other is a weekly planner - they're so handy!
There's also a cute picture of me and my perfect mama being silly in Tesco, aha!

To the left of my desk is my window which looks out onto the square and other student flats. Here you can see my desk chair - which was quite an ugly green and black so I covered with a cosy purple throw which my Grandma gave me, and a cute cushion which is from ASDA.
There is also 2 pretty storage boxes from Dunelm Mill.
Also a wicca heart-shaped storage basket where I put my dirty laundry!

To the left of my wicca basket, is my drawers which I store my beauty bits and other random stuff. 
On top is my makeup bag, a handy double sided mirror and my make-up brushes which I store in Gab Lindley (Velvetgh0st) Primark range. The mug was £3 and it is so cute!
There's also my Zoella beauty products and my sunglasses - even though it's now autumn!

Shower.

As I got a premium room, I get a shower included.

Its a lovely shower, quite roomy even though it doesn't look it. Here I keep my Radox shower gel and my shampoo/conditioner. Pretty basic really.

A day In The Life: Tea Thursday.

Hey!
Today I thought I'd do a different kind of post: A Day In The Life.

So I woke up at around 10ish, and it was raining which just makes me want to lay in bed allllllllll day. I laid in my bed for a while, scrolling through my social medias to see what i've missed whilst I was asleep. I don't think I could name one person who doesn't scroll through their phone like a newspaper!

Then I got up eventually, got washed and ready. I put on my burgundy jumper styled dress which I got from Primark, I am in love with it! I paired in with my black tights as it was a miserable day and put on my black suede boots which are also from Primark. (£8, bargain!!)

For my makeup, I always use my Nivea moisturiser before applying anything.

I wasn't feeling foundation really as it was raining lots, so I used my Maybelline Eye Eraser over the majority of my face, rubbing it onto my skin with my Real Technique Perfect Face brush. 

I then used the Stay Matte face powder over my face, followed by Rimmel bronzer on my cheeks around my chin and forehead and the Rimmel London blusher in Santa Rose with my Real Technique blusher brush. 

I then used my Soap & Glory eyebrow pencil to fill in and then my Roller Lash mascara on my eyelashes to give me the full eye look.

I took this image of my make-up a few hours later so it looks a little faded...

I packed up my laptop and things I needed for the day and got on the bus to my town centre. 
I met my Mam whilst she was on her lunch for work. We popped into WHSmith, where I bought some more stationary bits for University.

I got a planner that will go on my desk, it displays the days of the week and has a notes section on the side. (middle of image, £8.99) 

I also got a list item with 'Stuff to do' because I am obsessed with writing lists and I love how it can peel off easy, I hate when you pull a page out and it gets all messy, nope. (Right of image, £6.99)

Then we were just about to leave and I spotted a 15/16 Diary that matched my desk planner, so I had to buy it... (Left of image, £10.99)

Mam bought all of this for me, so thanks Mammy.....

Then I left Mam as she had to go back to work, so I decided to go to Tea @ Hart (blog post will be linked about this place, it's unreal!)

I ordered my usual, Yorkshire Tea, and sat applying for jobs in Sunderland. I have to get myself a cute little tea set like this one, especially the strainer! 

I also caught up on my Youtube watching and spoke to my best friend Zhiyin who is still in China, but is coming home to me soon!! 

Of course then I got tempted but the beautiful cakes Jeni makes! I went for the lemon cake which was gluten free, with a lemon curd centre and cream on the side. Wow it was gorgeous! 

This is an incredibly random post I know but I took some pretty photos so I thought why not, I mean pictures with CAKE.

August Favourites!

Hey guys!

Wow August flew over and for me its already just over a week before I leave for Uni!

So I have quite a lot of favourites this month, from quite a few categories, so lets go!

Beauty:

I purchased the Maybelline Eye Eraser Concealer in the colour light and it is amazing!! It goes onto the skin so smoothly.

 I tend to put it under my eyes, on my forehead, down the sides of my nose, on my chin and on the sides of my cheeks. It goes a long way and really makes the difference on my skin, I either put it on top of my foundation or sometimes I even use it instead of foundation as its such good coverage.

 I use my Real Techniques perfect face brush to buff it into my skin. 

I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an amazing concealer, I do love my Wake Me Up but this one takes the trophy. 

I got it for £7.99 from Boots and although it's a small bottle, its great coverage- so worth it!!!

I've also loved the Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Chic. 

It's not one of her new releases, although they do look amazing so I will be investing. 

This one is from her original collection as I got it for £1.99 in TJ Hughes.

It's such a lovely colour- like a pink nude, it also smells like chupa chup lollies which is unreal! It has great coverage and lasts a long time so I'll definitely be getting some more autumn shades!

Last in beauty is the unreal Benefit Roller Lash mascara. It's INCREDIBLE.

I didn't really want to justify spending £20 on a mascara as that's really steep in my eyes but I seen all the amazing reviews from people including Zoella so my boyfriend bought me it for passing my A-Levels. 

Wow.

I'll never look back.

It goes on so easy and the brush allows to get into the inner corner lashes that are usually missed by many mascaras. It's amazing quality and makes my lashes look huge! 

Even the design of the bottle is beautiful, I love the lid which is like a patterned pink.

If you're abit like me and struggle to justify spending that much on 1 item of make-up, then just go for it and you won't regret it!

Fragrances:

I've liked a couple of fragrances this month.

I've been loving the Soap and Glory - Soft and Sexy fragrant body spray.

I got this for Christmas in a set and i've been obsessed with it recently. It has such a distinct smell - which is lovely.

 I tend to spray it over my skin after a shower/bath or over my clothes before I leave the house and when i'm walking outside I can still smell it on myself. 

I don't know how much it was as it was a gift but I can't imagine it being that expensive, especially when they come in sets.

I've also been loving Zoella's new body mist; Let's Spritz!

I had her first one and I still use it, it smells lovely but this new one is gorgeous and the packaging is so beautiful - with a really cute polka dot lid and on the back is a detailed white pattern which you can see through the front.

 It has a tutti-frutti smell to it which is really noticeable and makes you go aaaahhh when you smell it! I really do recommend it! 

Purchased from Superdrug for £7 (it's on offer for £1 off!)

Clothing:

I have one item this month which i've really liked. 

It's this shirt from Primark which I actually bought off someone on the buying/selling app called DEPOP.

It's a really cute two-strap top with a pretty boho pattern. 

The back is really cute!

Youtube Channel:

I have loved JDRmakeup. She's a girl called Jess and she makes such cute videos.

I was really loving her university advice and hauls and then I subscribed to her vlogging channel JDRvlogs and they're really fun to watch, she just finished Vlogust. 

I recommend going over to her channel and watching she is great!!

Song:

Well i've been loving Little Mix new song Black Magic. 

Also finally Justin Bieber's new song What Do You Mean? is out! Being a belieber at heart, i'm over the moon he has got back to his old self and producing really good music with supportive people around him! 

The music video is really awesome too.

So proud!!

Extra:

So this month i've been buying a lot of magazines to read to fill my time. 

I bought Glamour magazine and seen that there was advertisement for Juicy Couture with really cool quotes on pages. So I had an idea.

I knew I had a frame with nothing in so I neatly cut out the page of the quote I liked and placed it in the frame.

Now I have a lovely unique wall hanging that no one else will have and will add a great touch to my new uni room!

Hope you enjoyed this post!!

See you all next week!!

Amie
