Bargain alert!

In my hunt for a new bronzer I have come across this beaut of a bargain.

Let me share the little beauty...

Bourjois bronze Up kit is available through asos in their sale section. The kit is already advertised as a saving of 34% compared to buying the product individually but it is also in the sale section for £13.00 down from £17.50. I know the bronzer pallet and blush alone is worth £15 so it's definitely a good buy!

Included you get the Delice De Bronze pallet in shade 52 (which is a favourite all round), a blush in no. 35 Lune d'or, a 3d effects gloss in Brun Exotic, a mini eye pencil in 44 and a ill mini powder brush. 

The gloss is quite a bronzed nude, I think the golden shimmer in it darkens it but when applied to the lips it looks nude. The eyeliner is like a khaki green colour which, when layered, can darken-think that's why it's came out quite dark. 

The bronzer is more orangey toned I would say than really dark. I was abit worried but when applied to my face it just looks like any bronzer. Phew. And the blusher is swatched next to the bronzer but my camera just couldn't pick up on it at all. I would say its definite a highlighter than a blush and the shimmer in it makes it a perfect highlighter. 

Overall I would defo pop over to asos and make this purchase if u were looking for a new bronzer. It's a great little kit. And a good price too.

Crying infront of strangers...

It's ok guys I didn't have a breakdown on the high street infront of loads of people. 

What I did do was something which was most amazing and I have always wanted to do. 

I went to a Drive-in cinema. The real deal. Massive screen. In your car. Eating popcorn. Freaking amazing!!

ItIsOn is a company which is on the same lines as Groupon except its only for deals in Scotland and I find the deals way better in terms of its all top hotels/restaurants/events you have heard of and perhaps already go to. Occasionally they host their own events and deals and this was one of them. 

It took place in a field right next to Edinburgh airport so provided the best backdrop for the other film showing available (Top Gun). I won the film choice though between me and my BF and The Notebook won. *hurray for Ryan*. they had various showings of each over the weekend and marketed it as Valentines date kinda thing. 

It was so well organised and efficient. We drove in with almost no queuing (considering the volume of cars there) and received a valentines card from Gosling *it was real, don't ruin this for me* and a car window sticker. There was an area selling pizzas, nachos, drinks and snacks but we went to tescos beforehand and purchased a mountain of snacks. 

View from our car

We tuned our car radio to the station they gave us and we got the volume right in our car so we didn't have to compete with others being noisy or whatever. 

Seat back. Blanket out. Sweets opened. Watching the notebook. I was in heaven.

Close up of the biggest LED screen in the world :) 

I loved it so much and really hope they make it a regular occurrence as I would go every time. It's way more fun than a conventional cinema where you have to be shhh and try hard not to make a noise opening your sweets. 

Oh and "crying infront of strangers"? The cars are close enough to see inside each other's and if the guy looked in my car at the end of the film he would have seen me comforting a massive soggy tissue. I'm sorry but it's sad ok!! 

Anybody experienced an outdoor drivein cinema? Is a thing from the past about to become a thing of the future? 

An interview. So much potential.

Today I had a job interview. 

My first proper grown up one. 

And I was absolutely pooping my pants.

I don't think it would have been bad if I wasn't that fussed about the job but I really really want the job. I'd love a career in this sector which made me put the pressure on myself even more.

The first thing that left me sleepless was what to wear. I only got 2 days notice so was basically left to wear something I already had. I soon established that I don't own much formal clothes. I have my 'funeral trousers' and school shirts. So I made do with this and found a V-neck jumper and wore my posh jacket and scarf. Oh and shoes that were shiney and new that my mum let me borrow. Whilst walking to the front door of the building from the car I established that my shoes were Infact too big for me. Delightful. Note to everyone, have some formal clothes kicking about-you never know when you'll need them in a hurry. 

I had to wait in a waiting area where I tried to sit straight whilst trying to 'sort myself' and ended up doing some breathing exercises. I tried to make myself more relaxed thinking about all sorts but really just wanted to get In there and get over it. 

The first thing they said was 'just an informal chat' This made me feel I little bit more at ease. They spoke about the role then had abit background on the company. All the while they were talking I had all the answers to interview questions running around in my head.

They asked their first question and thought brilliant, let's go, let's show off.... 

Mind blank. Super. Brilliant. Can't think of anything. Whatttt on earth will I say??...

So I just blabbed myself through, answering as good as I can but knowing my answers weren't the best. 

And now I feel deflated. Like I have ruined the one chance I had to get that job I wanted. 

I'll find out my fate tomorrow. 

Get the tissues (and cake) ready.... 

V Day

Valentines.

It's like marmite. Love it or hate it.

Personally I like it just to be totally awkward and wish everyone I see a happy valentines day, hand out love heart sweeties and ask what everyone is doing-dating or not I think everyone should be celebrating it just for one day to even make yourself a good dinner and get all the single girlfriends together and have a totally girly night.

I know I can say this and yous will be thinking, 'yeh, ok for her, she's loved up' That maybe true. But do we celebrate valentines? Not as much as I want. If I was a guy I would be showering my girl in roses, cooking the best meal, lighting every candle possible in the house and being a total cheeseball. In my relationship this doesn't happen unfortunately. Cards are exchanged. And perhaps a little gift is given. Nothing like what's suggested on johnlewis valentines ideas *mulberry cuff links?!* Just a little silly gift. And that's it. No singing, dancing, flowers sent to work, marching band, endless love heart shaped cookies and cakes. Hmmfff.

What are yous all doing for valentines? Do let me know. Are you single and loving it? In a relationship and feel let down?

A little about me....

Hi.

loving the outdoors gear

My name is Kerri.
Im a scorpio.
And I like long walks on the beach.
(says in cheesy accent like shes on Blind date)

Speaking of blind date, thats pretty old school now. Suppose it would be Take Me Out now. Such a cheeseball programme, I love it! Ha.

Im straying already. Gawd. Anyways, My name is Kerri. And I am a Scorpio. But long walks on the beach are annoying if you don't have the right shoes on, sand everywhere.
I live in Scotland where it is snowing right at this minute. Such a cliche Scottish moment.
Im 26, but look 18, and act 18. I am pretty immature.
Most of my friends are guys and we all hang out in a big group where being immature is top priority it seems!
I went to university for 4 years and graduated during the recession which was totes fun. I am still in the same job I had whilst I was at uni and that is an admin job in a supermarket. I like it, its good fun and always kept busy but its not really want I want to do.
I have a lovely boyfriend who I have been with for 8 years, always get the 'why yous not married yet?!' But, following on from previous, I still feel too young to get married and grow up!

Think that is about it to sum up my life in a nutshell basically. A little backbone so yous know who yous are reading about!

What's a holiday without abit rain?

Last weekend I had time off work so me and the boyfriend decided to book a last minute weekend away. We are in the process of trying to save for a house so we didn't want to stay somewhere too costly and spend lots thinking 'that could have bought us a kettle, toaster, microwave....' 

We love holidaying in Scotland so decided to head back to Fort William in the hope of seeing some snow and head for some good long walks. 

So it pretty much rained the whole time we were there. What can you expect in February though huh? 

We did have a lovely drive north of fort William following the shores of Loch Ness to Urquhart Castle. It rained pretty much the he whole time we were in the car but it stopped for the time we were outside! High5. 

I did think there was more to the castle than what was there but sadly the poor thing had been through many battles and changes of owners over the past few hundred years and it was left to burn to the ground by the last people to live there (this was years ago in 1692, not just last year!) It was really well set out with a nice visitor centre and cafe with good homemade bakes and lots of information boards all around to give you the history. For it being a very cold, windy, wet day there was actually a good amount of tourists there. I would recommend a visit for some good scottish history and to see some pretty views down Loch Ness. 

On our way home we stopped at Fort Augustus and went for a little walk. My parents visited here last spring and recommended it. It was very quiet here apart from the odd coach stopping with tourists to take pictures. Fort Augustus is famed for its locks linking the Caledonian canal to Loch Ness and I bet they are amazing when a boat passes through. Sadly today there was no boats to see. The parentals said its so pretty when it's a nice day and everyone sits along the canal at the pubs and having lunches whilst watching the boats pass through. Just sad I never witnessed it.  

On the Sunday we went for a drive up Glen Nevis and drove up to the car park where you park to climb Ben Nevis. It was peeing with rain so we sat in the car whilst my boyfriend pointed out the route they went when they climbed it. Kinda bummed it was raining so we never went out and explored. We did pass a group of highland cows in the middle of the road looking all cold. So cute though.

For all you geography geeks out there. Here is Glen Roy. Doesn't look like much but if u look closely you wills see lines along the hills. "Aren't they just tracks?" I hear you cry. Nope. They are at the exact same height on both sides of the valley and are evidence of the height level of lakes during the last ice age. The 3 different lines are the marks of the shoreline of each lake level as it got smaller. 

If you are still confused at my explanation. This explains it better http://youtu.be/1A3Pq2TXKEU (nice video for you, it's like a geography lesson for all) 

Anyway, it's really rare to see this anywhere in the world so defo worth a visit to say you've been. 

Here's a picture my boyfriend took of his car to make it look like a car ad. Whatever. Ha. 

Apart from the weather, which didn't let us out as much as we'd like, id thoroughly recommend a visit to fort William as a base camp whither it is to go Nessie spotting, go skiing, visit the beaches, visit glenfinnan to see the Harry potter bridge, or climb Ben Nevis. 

I love Scotland and it's beautifulness.

Another start?

It seems im making a habit of starting blogs, saying ill keep up with it then slowing thinking my life isnt very interesting.

My current job means i have days off during the week when everyone else is at work so I now have the time to blog so new excuses.

Its not that I didnt like doing it. I love a rant. I think its because I love makeup and fashion but no where near buy enough products to have 4 posts a week and to be honest I spend most of my days in tracksuit bottoms than an outfit worthy of an OOTD.

So this leads on to 'what is my niche' 'whats my topic' 'my blogging of choice' ?? Well to be honest, I think ill just have this as a lifestyle blog and see where it leads. I love day trips, the outdoors, photography, cooking, beauty, crafts. So yeah, until I can find one thing im truly into, im gonna be doing the lot.

I am prone to a moan (I do appologise) And love questioning 'Why?' to the most random things. So expect some of that too.

Bee Seeing you soon
