Things to remember when starting a new job

As most of you on my little blog will already know I have had a bit of a rough time with jobs recently but my luck changed at the beginning of the month and I was offered a permanent role.

I started at said permanent role on Thursday just gone and I just wanted to lend an ear to any of you who may be in a similar situation.

So first up I am not sure if it is an actual anxiety issue or just how I react but the first few days for me are always impossibly overwhelming and they often end up in tears. I have felt my whole life I am usually good with meeting new people, however as soon as I know I am going to know them for X amount of time I freak out. Panic sets in and I immediately wish to be surrounded by my friends and family. I normally then become incredibly needy and irritating. 

This new job has been no different for me, I have struggled to keep smiling but I have to keep reminding myself that change is good. 

In times of trouble I find it best to look to the people in my life that I idolise like Walt Disney..

and Audrey.. 

At the end of the day it all comes down to taking a deep breath, remembering that it is only work and being grateful for the chance to prove myself somewhere new. 

I need to remember I can do this. It will just take time. 

If you are having a tough time leave a comment, I think talking and sleep are the cures to all of life's problems. 

Maleficent Mac Range

As soon as I got the e-mail from Mac with the most beautiful photo of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent I knew I had to have at least one of the products. 

I couldn't stop adding pieces to my basket and I picked up the following.. 

The Maleficent Pro longwear lipglass in 'Anthurium'

The pigmentation is out of this world and I am 100% in love with this product. 

Next up is the Penultimate Eye Liner in 'Rapid Black'. I was only saying they other week how I needed a new eyeliner and this one has a firm hold on my heart right now. The only thing I am a little disappointed with is that it doesn't have the Maleficent packaging on the eyeliner itself. 

Finally I picked up the eyeshadow quad, I have only swatched this but as soon as I do a makeup look with the shadows I will post it up here. 

From my first impressions it seems to be beautifully pigmented and of course the packaging is to die for. 

Finally Mac sent me a little tester of the Mac Zoom lash that I have since purchased. It is freaking amazing, my new fave mascara. 

As soon as the makeup came through the door I had to have a little play and this was my finished face.

May Primark and eBay haul

Shopping on a budget is a challenge even at the best of times but throw in needing items for a holiday and it gets even more challenging. As you know eBay is my new bestie and over the past 10 days (ish) I have picked up a few bargains .. 

Topshop MOTO shorts for £6

Topshop shorts for £4.50

Topshop wrap dress for £3.50

I tend to only really pick up Topshop items on eBay as they are such good quality to start out with. 

I also hit up Primark where I picked up these items. 

I have never owned these types of sandals but these were too adorable to walk past at £6

I am obsessed with Primarks distressed tees, so soft and only £4!

Bargain. 

I just love something about this dress, the pattern is a very dark purple. The dress was £8, totally love it.

The most comfy jersey sweatpant style trousers, already been living in these, £7. 

Still on the hunt for bargains but loving all the bits I have picked up. Can't wait to take them on my first holiday of the summer in 4 weeks!

3 for 2 at Boots

As soon as Boots infamous 3 for 2 on all cosmetics hits the stores my head wuurs. All the possibilities, of course being little miss unemployed I couldn't afford to splash out so I picked up 3 items. Believe me this was almost impossible to do!

First up is a re-purchase of my favourite mascara ever. The Maxfactor clump defy, love it. I did opt for this in waterproof, hopefully it will be just as good. 

The next was an eyeliner from Maxfactor which so far is just okay.. not amazed with the colour payoff but I think with a tan it will be lush. 

Finally is my new favourite lip product from L'Oreal, I am going to do a whole post review on this but here is a sneak peak. 

Have you checked out Boots 3 for 2 yet?

Mad week!

This is awful, I promised you all these amazing blog posts seeing as I now have loads of spare time and I have been busier than ever. 

First up let me tell you I have found myself a temporary placement working in the marketing department for a local company so do not worry about me. I am still looking for permanent work but it's less life or death now I have some cash flow. 

Secondly I have been on lots of interviews at some very cool places and fingers crossed *cross those fingers for me bitchez* one of them will offer me a job soon!

I keep coming up with these awesome blog posts just before I fall asleep and have forgotten them by the time I wake up. Terrible I know. 

I will *hopefully* have some fun and exciting stuff up before the end of the week. 

Have a lovely 4 day week peeps!
