I FEEL LIKE A MILLION DOLLARS

Do you ever have that odd morning of hyper-productivity? Well, that was me today. I woke up at 7am, had a healthy breakfast of fruit and cereal and got myself ready for the day ahead.

I did a little workout video, showered, and did my hair and makeup, ready to go out. I've been working non-stop recently, so it was nice to pamper myself a bit today.  



For my makeup, I used my new Rosie, for Autograph pieces, I got for my birthday, which I've been dying to try out. The palette, 'I feel like a million dollars', is divine. The colours are creamy smooth and have a shimmery pearl to them. Today I built up the top two with the lighter shade in the crease of my eye and I really the like the way it turned out. 




I also have been LOVING this Liquid Liner from Rosie's makeup range for M&S. I find it so much easier to use than normal eyeliner pens as the tip is so sharp but it's soft to create versatile looks. I mean, for someone who normally ends up reapplying liner at least four times, this only took one go on each eye!

Makeup used: Rosie for Autograph Liquid liner and eyeshadow palette, Mac Studio Fix Fluid, Mac Velvet Teddy lipstick, Sleek brow kit, Makeup Revolution Palette Iconic 3, Lacôme Magie Blush, Makeup Revolution baked highlighter in 'Golden lights' and L'oréal Infalliable 24h matte powder.

Overall I give both Rosie for Autograph products a solid 10/10 for the product, the packaging, which is divine and the price tag - so affordable!  Next on my wishlist is the creamy eyeshadow stick which comes in four colours.


Hope you enjoyed this post guys, I'm working on posting much more frequently over summer, so keep an eye out for me! 

Love Rosie,

My week in pictures

This week marked the end of my 2nd year of study at university! I honestly can't believe how fast it's gone and that I'll be starting my final year in just a matter of months.

So, last week was one big stress to say the least. The top two pictures on here really just sum it all up. Lots of naughty snacks and a whole lotta coffee. But hurrah I made it through all 8 exams including 3 NTCJs (journalism exams) which I think went well, but we'll see.


The picture on the left was taken on Friday afternoon, after we finished our last exam of the year. A few of the fashion journalism gals and I headed for cocktails to celebrate. 

Then on the right, (2nd one down) this is a sweet lil pic of me and my friends out partying on the weekend! Then the bottom right is my current sich: lazing about watching youtube videos whilst tidying my room and eating berries!

This next month I've got a lot to look forward to. I'm getting back in the gym, putting in more hours at work and I will deffo be blogging more, so do be sure to pay my little blog another visit over the summer!

This week has been fabulous - really, it's just been one big sigh of relief. 
The best part is a tie between celebrating with the girls on Friday and telling my 14 year old sister that we're going to see Beyoncé (she cried). 

Hope you've had a fab week/weekend too!

Love Rosie

Earning my stripes

I know its been a while since I showed my face on here but let's just say these last few months have been quite hard on me. Uni work was piling up with many deadlines towards the end of semester, as well as that I had 8 exams to revise for! Eeek! 

But hurrah, hurrah, I have my last exam on Friday, which is my Public Affairs NCTJ. I'm looking forward to celebrating the end of our second year with my uni gals in the afternoon, then on Friday night it's a friend of mine's birthday so we're going out to celebrate. 

Me on Friday (approx 4pm) :
I'm hoping to get back on the band wagon with blogging as recently my anxiety has been all over the place and I couldn't bring myself to think about it never mind ask someone to take my picture. But this summer I don't have many major plans, so I'm looking forward to just chilling out, getting back in the gym, earning that dolla, and working on my writing. 


Good luck to everyone with exams this week!



Love Rosie
