Hi,

 I wanted to share a few pictures of the makeup I wore to my work christmas party, 

I used a Catrice Palette previously mentioned here for the shadows and the glitter eye liner is by Collection. The photo's do not do it justice, the glitter liner is gorgeous. The black liner is by 17 and I used Clinique High Impact mascara, That's about it!

*excuse the terrible skin/spots.

so... it's been a while hasn't it? what 3, 4 months? 

I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but it just hasn't happened. Better late than never right? And what better time than just before Christmas! well I say that it's still a month away but I'm so excited I could burst. I'm thinking about doing a few tag posts to get me back into the swing of things, but I guess I should do a little update first. 

I'm working full time now, which is good. I'm really enjoying it and it's not in retail which is awesome. Last week I graduated, which was actually pretty cool. The ceremony was as the O2 arena (indigo2). My mum came to stay with us for a few days and I took time off work to spend with her and my brother, it was lovely.

I won't go into too much detail about the restaurant because I don't think it's relevant, it has a busy atmosphere, lots of staff, lots of customers. You can eat in or take away etc it's a nice place and the layout is nice but it's not the kind of place you go to for the atmosphere. You go for the burger, and the one I had yesterday quite frankly could have been handed to me by a tramp in the street and I would have devoured every inch of it the same way. 

Hey, 

Hey,

I decided I needed a little treat and we all know what that means… buying nail polish! In particular 'Stand by Your Manny' which is part of the Modern Family Collection for Nicole by OPI. These retail for £7.99 in the UK. 

I was passing a Superdrug and thought it would be rude if I didn't go in for a quick look around. This particular store has recently started selling Nicole by OPI polish so I had a quick look and my eyes fell upon this little beauty. The pictures do not do this polish justice. A cornflower blue shimmer is not a shade I usually go for but I'm loving it all the same and it's so nice for summer.  

It's quite sheer and needed three coats, which you can see still doesn't make it opaque but it's not hugely noticeable. The application was nice, it goes on smoothly and dries relatively quickly. 

I haven't worn it long enough to comment on how long it lasts before chipping but so far so good.

Any other shades worth picking up?

Thank you for reading. 

Is this going to be my comeback in to the blogging world?

possibly.

Although... I'm not entirely sure I have anything of value to add to the world of blogging anymore. Did I ever?

I guess an update.

Today is Fathers Day so I guess a nod to the old man himself is in order, and all other fathers etc etc Happy Sunday to everyone else.

I've not really got a lot else to up date on. I finished all the work from my degree back in May so now I'm just waiting for my results, more specifically my dissertation grade.

Needless to say I'm anxious about that! Hopefully, the grade will be up soon but in true uel style there is no information anywhere to say when that will be.

Other than that I've been spending a lot of time watching tv shows on netflix and applying for full time TA jobs. I really want to get out of retail and into a 'proper' full time job. I know these things take time but I'm so inpatient with it. I know! I've not even graduated yet but still. I want out.

Oh by the way, I'm planning on making a blogging comeback. At some point. Soon. Hopefully.

Thank you for reading. 

This is going to my review of a little burger place called Meat Liquor. It was my birthday last week and I decided that I wanted to spend my time drinking cocktails and eating burgers… and where better to do than than MEATliquor?

I had read and heard previous reviews of this place and really wanted to see for myself what all the fuss was about.

Firstly I was anticipating having to wait to be seated, and in order to avoid queuing for too long decided to head there for around 5pm to try and beat the queues, luckily we managed to get seated straight away without having to queue at all which was great. We sat down and started to look at what was on the menu.

Now, two members of the group had already been before so had a pretty good idea about what to expect and it was pretty much agreed that we would a selection of starters/ sides etc to share and then out own individual burgers.

Firstly we ordered drinks! cocktails mainly and the odd beer, very nice! went down a treat. Not a huge amount to say about the cocktails they were pretty standard, nothing particularly great about them but nothing bad either! Also they had a good selection of flavors.

Next out were the starters. We ordered Deep Fried Pickles, Onion Rings, and Chicken Wings, this came with a blue cheese sauce. I didn't managed to get a picture of these because everyone pretty much just demolished the tray within minutes. Everything was delicious. The chicken wings had a really original flavour and the blue cheese sauce was just amazing. I loved the pickles too. Everything had just the right amount of grease to it too you know? Nothing felt too heavy, the batter on the pickles and onion rights was crispy and light and had a great flavor.

After a short while, (the tray for the starters had only just been finished and taken away) the mains came out, I feel like this picture just doesn't do it any justice whatsoever but seriously. This food was awesome. I really don't know how to elaborate further. The burgers were really tasty (I ordered a Dead Hippy incase you were wondering), the meat was juicy, and not overly seasoned and the fillings in the burger complimented the flavor of the meat really well. I mean, it was just a really good burger, again not too greasy, although it was pretty greasy by my standards it wasn't bad at all, in comparison to a Patty and Bun burger that is swimming in oil. They held their form really well too, Like they didnt fall apart as soon as you picked it up. Anyway, overall I'd rate the food a 9/10 for flavor. The fries were amazing, considering they were covered in cheese and chilli etc they remained crispy, The Chilli fries were the best for me, the flavor of the chilli was unreal. The service was really good too, staff were attentive and happy to get extra drinks/kitchen rolls (You will need this!) on request. The only thing I will pick up on is that fact that they did seem to get a little edgy the longer we stayed, However I appreciate that we we're quite a large group and the restaurant was becoming increasingly busy. I wouldn't say we were rushed to leave, but it did feel a little like they were hanging around just to eye up when the table would be free.

Ok, I think I've rambled on enough about burgers. Basically if you like a good burger you have to try one from Meat Liquor. The price? Well, it was reasonable, a little expensive, but really worth it. I think when I go again, Yes, 'when' not 'if!' I'd forgo the cocktails as they really pushed the price up on the bill and to be honest I wasn't blown away, We did order a fair few each though, but I think next time I'd maybe just order the one to go with the food.

So, there we go. I need to stop writing now because I'm getting hungry just talking about it! Yum
