Getting Cosy // Cosy Club Ipswich Launch Party

Last night, I was fortunate enough to be invited to the launch party for the new Cosy Club that’s opened in the Buttermarket in Ipswich! I had a brilliant night and of course consumed more tapas and prosecco than could be considered healthy!

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick "Morning After" Review

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in "Morning After" *New favourite lipstick alert*  This lipstick is seriously giving me life right now! I bought it a couple of weeks ago and since then I've been constantly reaching for it. It's part of the Vice lipsticks collection from Urban Decay, which comes in 100 different shades and 6 different finishes (Comfort Matte, Cream, Metallized, Sheer, Sheer Shimmer and Mega Matte) and they're priced at £15. This one is from the Sheer range, it's a light nude shade that's more on the pink side. What I really love about is how buildable it is in terms of colour; one coat and you just get that really subtle, pink sheen to your lips or you can build it up into a super-glossy pink look! The only bad thing I can say about it is that they haven't made this shade in the matte finish because it would be so perf! (I think the closest you'll get in this finish is "Backtalk")

Seventeen Mega Matte Lipstick Review

From Left to Right - Nude News, Back To The Fuchsia, Lava You A Lot Seventeen recently released their new range of matte lipsticks and given my current obsession with matte lipstick, I of course hauled ass down to Boots and picked up my three fave shades! The range comes in 12 different shades, from nude tones right up to bright, eye-popping colours, so there's something for everyone. I tried to buy the shades that, for me, would be the most wearable and that were a little bit different to some of the lipsticks I already own. I went for Nude News, a nude shade with pink undertones, Back To The Fuchsia, which as the name suggests, is a bright pink/purple shade and Lava You A Lot, a fiery hot orange/red colour.

Acting Foundation Courses: What Are They and Are They Worth It?

I have recently completed an acting foundation course at Birmingham School of Acting and I can honestly say going there was one of the best decisions of not only my acting journey, but also my life! I would definitely advise anyone hoping to train at a drama school to at least consider them if they aren't successful in their first year of applying. They can be expensive, so it's important to know exactly what you're getting for your money, as the vast majority of them do seem to be self-funded (although at BSA there was a bursary available to students who needed some financial help) and it is a huge commitment.  So, if you are someone who's considering a foundation course, or just you just want a bit more information on what other options there might be for your gap-yah dahling, read on!
