University and the Blog
So I've finished Uni! A time that I never thought would arrive has, and all I have to do now is wait for my results. I'm pretty confident I will finish with a 2:1 which will make all my dreams come true.
So for the blog, my goal this summer is to focus in on my blog and try to develop a proper, semi regular, schedule. I by no means want to become some super blogger you see everywhere, but would quite like people to nosey on in and interact with me! I will be trying to step up my social media game on twitter too (I cannot guarantee you instagram soz) and try to connect with like minded bloggers, who dabble in beauty but mainly want to waffle on incessantly about their lives. I also have the camera off my sister, so I am hoping to actually make some more poorly edited beauty videos. I find it much easier to talk to the camera about beauty than actually write about it, and it is definitely a more fun process for me. I am also going to be dabbling in trying to make my blog as elegant and sophisticated I can make it with my very limited coding skills!
So there you have it, hopefully there will be some fun content (lol) coming your way from me in the next few weeks, so that I don't just spend my entire summer reading Game of Thrones theories...

Lets Catch Up on the Week
The events of the weekend have thrown me completely off course. I wrote about them in detail in a blog post that I am still unsure whether to post. Its so raw and personal to me that at the moment I couldn't face anyone but myself reading it. I'm meant to be revising for tomorrows exam yet I'm sat in bed crying over the fact that wouldn't it be nice for someone to want to come and see me? Actually want to be around me romantically and not just sexually. It would be nice to not just be used for when someone else's life is going down the toilet. I'm having a very hard time getting over the weekend and what happened because it just pulled back to the surface so much hurt, anger and upset on my half. I highly doubt through all the apologising the other half ever gave a shit. It's nice though to now have a valid reason for pure hatred so there is a positive in all this. I think I've had a lucky escape.
I finish Uni tomorrow and I am absolutely terrified. The dog was in my family home again and I did well, until the dog jumped on me and then it all went very south very, very fast. I overdid it and need to take slightly more baby steps around Louis.
I've finished at the dermatologist, theres nothing more they can do for me. Could they have not just told me this on phone? Instead of wasting valuable revision time travelling to the 10 minute useless appointment from Sheffield? I've now got to wait for the Acute Trust to get their act together and send me an appointment, which is currently 10 months after they should have...
Now I've pulled myself together a bit I can face revising the absolute joys of food adulteration *yawns*.

Revision, My Gripes with Vlogging & Blogging and Traffic.
Hi everyone and I hope you're all well. Today's post is brought to you by a Hev who is trying to not crumble under revision stress. I have an exam in approximately 12 hours *gulp* and I'm not confident at all. I know basics of what I'm probably going to get asked but I am royally shitting it. Why anyone needs to to know about the Olfactory system I do not know.
My little old blog seems to actually be generating traffic. Not big league stuff but views every day. Views from websites that look quite suspicious to me but traffic is traffic. I just hope I'm not getting used as the face of porn or a gateway to other horrible things!
Recently my annoyance at 'bloggers' and 'vloggers' has been increasing rapidly. I got into the whole community through finding Pixiwoo's videos on Channel 4's website (in sixth form?) and was hooked from there. That's a really long time. There is people on the internet I've watched from their first or second video and thought I would be with them throughout their You Tube careers. I've witnessed many people who I used to love (looking at you Tanya Burr and co) change completely to something I cannot relate to or quite frankly stand to watch. I know this is a stance many people have now about the whole You Tube community but I don't think its an opinion that is gonna go anywhere any time soon. I find it really quite unnerving and uncomfortable seeing grown adults morphe from adults to some quasi like child as soon as they get slightly famous. I get that 'creators' (I don't really get any of these names they get labelled with) need to appeal to the people who are watching their videos and are ultimately buying all their merch, books and beauty lines, but there comes a time when you actually have to appear to be a 'real' person; instead of this completely transparent fakery that so many are displaying. If you want to be so outwardly and obviously fake then go ahead! Just do it from the start of your channel instead of from when your management want you to appeal more to young impressionable teenage girls.
It just makes me embarrassed to see grown adults dumbing themselves down for money. I get uncomfortable seeing so many 'trying fish sweets from Taiwan' and 'whisper in my ear and make it look like a barrel of lols' challenges constantly appearing in my subscription boxes from the same unoriginal You Tubers over and over again; You Tubers that when I subscribed in the first place and were a lot smaller, were actually producing funny, watchable content. The constant smugness from these 'vloggers' also irritates me no end, yes we know you live in million pound houses ans yes we know you're the ambassador for Americas fungal nail crisis but please, stop pushing it down our throats 24/7. My last gripe of this rant is at the internet famous who think they're actually famous, who are constantly tweeting about how much they loved meeting this celebrity and how they're such great friends; yet they never seem to get a reply, never seem to be seen anywhere with them or have photos with them outside blogging events *inserts thinking emoji here*.
Well that feels nice to get off my chest. I think its great that these people have managed to create an amazing career out of You Tube but I think that the dumbing down and pedanticness it has cost them hasn't been worth it.
See you after exams!

Gerard Cosmetics Hydra- Matte Liquid Lipstick in Cher
This stuff is long lasting as fuck. I popped this on at 10 in the morning, at 3 soppy meals, and at 8pm it was still almost perfect. There is a residual stickiness where it does not dry completely, but it isn't horrendously annoying. If you feel the need to layer it up, then the stickiness becomes annoying. It has a really nice applicator shape, and is really easy to apply to the lips. I use a lip liner to correct where my lip line has been erased by spots first, then pop this on in a couple of easy strokes. You can get on with your day within about 30 seconds. I wish this dried down completely so then I probably wouldn't notice it's presence on my lips! After a few hours it does become quite drying, so think about applying a balm on top, which in my experience did not shift the colour.
I bought this from Beauty Bay in the UK for £9.50, and I am thoroughly impressed with the longevity. You can buy it in the UK here if you so wish! When I eventually have money again, I would love to add Serenity and 1995 to my collection!
Lots of Love,
Hev
