Friday update, Dorothy Perkins, Cookies!

Hi everyone! Just a little update whilst my boyfriend's out with his friends from work! I have uni three days a week and getting up at 6.30am for 9am lectures on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nearly kills me since I have a terrible sleep routine (go to bed late and wake up in the middle of the night!) so it's nice to have a sit down and relax.

I've re-ordered the same polka dot Dorothy Perkins dress I bought but took back, this time in a bigger size so the material doesn't stretch over my chest I hate that! I also bought a cute new bow print dress, yes a dress this time, can't believe the last one was a tunic I was gutted! I got 20% student discount and free delivery.

I was feeling quite generous so I decided to make my boyfriend some Smarties cookies (although I did test one or two... just checking they weren't poisoned!). They have golden syrup in so they're lovely and soft in the middle and nice and crunchy round the edges! If you want the recipe just let me know.

Does anyone else find that Laguna doesn't really show up on their face? Not sure if it's just me not being able to see it, that it's supposed to be that light so it gives a more natural look or that I'm using the wrong brush... let me know! Since this post is already quite random I'll include these swatches and comparisons of NARS Laguna bronzer and E.L.F.'s bronzer. They do look alike in their pans but the E.L.F. is deeper and less shimmery.

Omg, smarties cookies! I bet those taste 10,000 times better than M&M cookies.

i really dont like laguna, im nw15 and it makes me look so muddy and weird. i really dont understand why everyone raves about it!

I dont rate the elf blush/bronzer either, thats wayyy to dark for me. the blush is super pretty, but in my opinion its nothing like nars orgasm!

ps. i totally reccomend the elf wamr bronzer. its actually become my new go to bronzer at the moment. its really lovely and glowy!

@Kiradris: Ooh I've never tried MS&M cookies!

@LLYMLRS: It barely shows up on me unless I pile it on so I can see why it could look muddy. I think you have use the ELF bronzer really lightly otherwise you'll end up looking like David Dickinson!

@DangerouslyBeauty: It's such a bargain for £3.50, I put it in my bag for nights out!

@Jen: I've posted up the recipe for you!

@smiley13tree: Check my new post for the recipe!
