Becky's Favourite Books

It's Becky, yes I'm back again!! It's summer and so I have free time around working and making a start on my dissertation, so Kate nagged me to try and write some blogs.

I thought I would write about some of my favourite ever books. I'm not a Kate-level book worm but I enjoy reading when I get into it and remember/have time to do it. I read some similar books to Kate but also some VERY different books! Just to warn you, quite often I read as a comfort thing so books from my childhood are some of the best, I'm not actually a child...

History of Art is cool // I need a better title

As a frequently mentioned person on this blog Kate finally annoyed me into writing another post. This is all her ideas and so you can blame her if it is boring or rubbish!

I'm the younger sister and I'm just coming to the end of my third year of University (of four) studying a joint honours in History and History of Art. Something I get asked regularly is what exactly does a History of Art degree entail, to be honest most people think it's a skive. So I thought (or Kate thought) I should write a post about my degree for anybody who wants more information as it is not a subject taught in most schools.

"I'm living away from home for Uni so this palette is really useful for bringing back and forth with me because it has so many shades as well as matte ones and shimmer ones"

 "This was a coming home present from Kate because she knows I'm all about the glow. It's super pigmented and the bronzey orange one is perfect for my skin tone"

"This was another present from Kate, this time for Christmas. It's a really good winter palette and I'm really enjoying experimenting with the purples."

"I love this bronzer because I'm really pale at the moment and they do really light shades so I don't look dead or orange but somewhere in the middle"

"I recently picked up this healthy mix serum foundation and the matching concealer and it's doing wonders for my skin. I actually think it might be improving my skin. Bourjois have a really good colour range for light skin tones too so I can find a foundation that matches when I'm super pale in the winter and when I have more of a tan in the summer."
