I feel like I have been saying this a lot recently but the last couple of months have been INSANE. Not only did I finish my degree, but I celebrated my 21st birthday, celebrated getting a 2:1 in my degree and I am also about to start my first full time job on Monday! As you can imagine, I haven't really had much time to post on any of my social media sites or my blog (hence why I have had to put three months worth of Insta pics and not two!), and I've had such a blast over the last 3 months. Now that I will have a full time job, I will have more times in the evenings to focus on my blog and will hopefully have more money to buy amazing things I can share with you all! Anyway, for now I have to get used to the real world!

INTERVIEW ATTIRE WEAR FOR EVERY JOB SEARCHER

You may or may not know that recently, as I have finished my degree, I have been going to a lot of interviews. And if preparing for the interview and the pressure of it isn't stressful enough, deciding what to wear makes it ten times worse. For the past couple of interviews, I have wore my trusty grey midi dress and a colourful blazer, but I realised that I couldn't wear this for every interview, especially if I was going back for second interviews. I had a quick nose around the F&F section of Tesco's and found some really nice interview attire (and could also be office wear) that don't break the bank.

This is what I found.

I believe that every girl needs a white shirt in their wardrobe, whether it's to pair up with some smart trousers for work, or to go casual and wear it with a pair of jeans. It's definitely a must have. This particular white shirt is nice because it has the small detail near the neck line. For trousers, I really loved the black ones with the white floral detail. They're fashionable, but yet still very formal. And they look GORGEOUS with the white shirt tucked into them. Next I bought the black and white small detail trousers, which also look lovely with the white trousers. Both of these trousers are cut nicely at the bottom which means they look nice with both flats and heels, so you don't have to wear those really-uncomfortable-but-smart-heels for every interview.

The next two items I haven't bought myself but I saw around the shop and on their website. These blue ankle cut trousers will also go with a nice white shirt, heels and flats, but what drew me into them so much was the small detail near the waist line. To me, they look slightly 'navy' style, but still very suitable for an interview.

As well as a white shirt, every girl should also have a smart dress in their wardrobe. It should be the law. This navy and black knee length dress, is the perfect length for a formal interview and the belt gives it that something extra.

So that was my short guide to what to wear for an interview and let me know in the comments below what you usually wear for interviews. I wish all of my fellow graduates the best of luck in the job hunt.

MAY BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Firstly, I want to say sorry for how long this post is, but it is worth it (I hope). Secondly, I want to apologise again as it seems I have been away from my blog for exactly a month! As you can imagine, in this past month or so my studies completely took over my life as it was the last month of my degree! Can you believe it?! It's done! Where has the time gone?! Anyway, this is just a little paragraph just saying sorry for neglecting my blog in May and that I will show it more love and care this month!

May has been a wonderful month! I handed in my dissertation (hoooorah!), finished my degree, celebrated 2 and a half years with my boyfriend and his 21st birthday, as well as my own 21st! But amongst all of that, this month I have found myself really appreciating certain beauty products. I think it's because I have been so busy so when it actually comes to pampering myself, I really feel the benefits. Some of these products are brand new and others are years old but I thought it was nice to have a nice mix and some have been reviewed before on this blog so if you see a product underlined, give it a click and you can read more about it on another post. So here it is, my first ever MONTHLY FAVOURITES!

I'll start with Garnier's Micellar Cleansing Water. This is something that I have fallen in and out of love with recently. When I wrote about it back in March, I was completely head over heels. But shortly after I started to see it as more of a 'doing-anything-to-get-money' product, as I felt that after a couple of uses, I didn't feel like it was taking my makeup off as well as face wipes did. For a while, I put it to the back of my draw but now I am so happy that I gave it one last chance and tried it again. During the whole of May I have been using this to remove my makeup. I have actually found that it was actually the cotton pads I was using it with that I didn't like, not the actual product. (Tesco cotton pads are the best!). I've also found that it takes eye makeup, like mascara, off so much easier than I first thought - you've just got to press the cotton pad (with the micellar water on, obvs) onto your eye, wait a few moments to let it soak in and ta dah! It just glides off like a dream.

The next item of the agenda is: Soap & Glory's Wonderbronze Shimmer Brick. I knew I would love this product from the moment I first saw it because, firstly, it's from S&G and I'm in love with all of their products, and secondly, it's so damn pretty to look at! This kind of acts as a bronzer mixed in with a small bit of blusher. When I wear this I feel like I don't have to wear blusher with it as it kind of does the job itself. And it's just as pretty on as it is in the pot (is it a pot?!).

I need to remember not to write too much about these products otherwise this post is going to be super-long!

Keeping that in mind, I'm going to move on to the Dirty Works 8 in 1 Miracle Serum. This is the first serum I've ever used so I won't be able to compare this to others, but I can say that I have seen a massive difference in my skin since using it. It just seems so much more oil-free and less patchy. It also dries so quickly which is great when you're in a rush to put your makeup on! A product that will always be one of my favourites is V05's Smoothly Does It Heat Defence Spray. I have been using this for years and have had no real reason to change to anything different. For a couple of weeks though, I did run out and couldn't be bothered to buy any more so I didn't use any for a while - naughty, I know. But only after a week of using it again, I can see my hair dramatically improving and I love the feel of it! Next, it's L'Occitane Vanilla Hand Cream. I don't know what it is with my hands in the summer but they always get so dry, so much dryer than they do in the winter so this hand cream has been a life-saver. It also smells so good!

Lastly is my newest beauty product and my favourite out of the bunch. It's Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara. If you know me, you'll know I love my mascaras and most recently, Benefit mascaras. I got a mini version of Roller Lash free in ELLE Magazine months ago and I loved it, but I was hoping that the mini version wasn't better than the bigger size. But I had nothing to worry about. I've only had it for 4 or 5 days and I can honestly say it's the best mascara I have ever owned, and that's a bold statement! A post dedicated to this product will be up on the blog soonish!

Well that's it. Thanks for reading and sorry for this post being soooo long, but what can I say..? I love all of these products a lot! Comment below your favourites products this month and if you love these products as much as I do!

SIMPLE ARE MY SKINCARE FAVOURITES

I have always loved Simple Skincare. When I was a teenager I always preferred Simple face wipes over any other brand and as I have grown older - and had my own money - I have felt myself gravitating towards this brand when buying anything skincare-wise.

For the face wipes - things that I have been using for many years - I have started to try different ones. The exfoliating ones are ah-mazing but probably not suitable for those with REALLY sensitive skin like myself. But you can't go wrong with the 'cleansing facial wipes' pictured above. They take makeup off like a dream and don't make your skin feel tight or sore afterwards. The material used in them is as soft as a baby's bum! And as for the moisturisers and creams, I honestly haven't tried any better!

I haven't found one Simple Skincare product yet that I have found underwhelming, or that doesn't do what they advertise. They all basically do what it says on the tin. And best of all, they are all for sensitive skin (some less sensitive than others though). This whole post is basically to ask you lot if there are any other Simple Skincare products that you feel that I NEED to buy. Please do let me know in the comments. But for now though, I just wanted to make clear of just how much I love the brand and everything it does for my skin. Keep up the good work, Simple!
